Furina's Stat Priority

: HP% / Energy Recharge

: HP% > Hydro DMG

: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

Substats: (Energy Recharge Until Target) > CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > HP% > HP

Furina is an HP-scaling sub-DPS and support, who is primarily built for Energy Recharge to burst every rotation, and HP in addition to CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG to increase her personal DMG.

An HP% sands is Furina's best DMG option, but an Energy Recharge sands can be used to reach energy recharge requirements. At C0, an HP% goblet is 3%–5% better than a Hydro DMG goblet, as Furina already gains a large amount of DMG bonus.

Furina's second passive Unheard Confession can increase her off-field Hydro DMG based on Max HP, granting up to a 28% DMG increase at 40,000 HP. This is not a requirement to build Furina, but can be a nice bonus.

Furina's Elemental Burst Let the People Rejoice grants party members the DMG bonus and healing bonus buffs. It is important to have enough energy recharge to allow Furina to consistently burst every rotation. While the exact requirement may vary based on team, it is recommended to have at least 160% - 180%+ energy recharge, possibly towards and above the 180% mark to comfortably burst every rotation.

Recommended Stats for Furina

Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Furina's best weapon. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.

Up to 40,000 HP can maximize Furina's passive ability and increase her DMG, but is not a strict requirement.

Furina's Talent Priority

Furina's most important talent to level is her Elemental Burst as it grants the party-wide buff, followed up by her Elemental Skill which is her main source of DMG. Furina's Normal Attacks deal physical DMG and can be largely ignored.

How to Play Furina

Furina is a sub-DPS and support, who deals off-field Hydro DMG and provides a party-wide DMG bonus and healing bonus buff granted based on each 1% change of party members' HP.

As Furina is a character from Fontaine, she can switch Arkhe Alignment by using her Charged Attack. This is largely inconsequential for her gameplay, but it allows her Elemental Skill Salon Solitaire to either deal DMG (default) or heal the active character (alternative).

Furina's Elemental Skill summons Salon Members to attack from off-field. These summons can move around and attack all types of targets. When any party member has over 50% of Max HP, Salon Members will consume said party member's HP when attacking. The more party members whose HP they consume, the more damage the Salon Members deal. Salon Members are summoned in the default Ousia Arkhe alignment.

Switching Arkhe Alignment to Pneuma will instead summon a Singer of Many Waters that heals the active character.

Using Furina's Elemental Burst Let the People Rejoice grants DMG bonus and healing bonus buff to all party members based on the total Fanfare Points accumulated.

1 Fanfare Point is gained for each 1% change in HP of each party member. The Salon Members assist in accumulating Fanfare Points by draining party members' HP. A healer in the party also assists in Fanfare points accumulation by healing party members.

At C0, up to 300 Fanfare points can be accumulated, for a maximum of 75% DMG bonus buff and 30% healing bonus (Lv. 10). The healing bonus buff also accelerates healing, which in turn accumulates Fanfare points faster. Visual indicators appear on screen when Fanfare points are accumulated and reach the maximum.

In short, to play Furina, you can simply press her Elemental Skill followed by her Elemental Burst. After Furina's turn, either a single target or party-wide healer can start healing at a later point in the rotation to grant Fanfare points.

Furina's Best Constellations

This ranking showcases Furina's personal DMG and team DMG in a Skirk freeze team. In this ranking, Furina is used primarily off-field, so the strength of C6 may not be properly reflected, as her C6-enhanced attacks are used only briefly.

Furina has decent constellations overall, with C1 and C2 being some of her strongest, and are decent early stopping points.

C1 "Love Is a Rebellious Bird That None Can Tame" adds a base 150 Fanfare points, which grants a base 37.5% DMG Bonus (lv. 10). This allows Furina to still be effective even without a healer (partly). Fanfare points also increase to a maximum 400, which grants a 100% DMG Bonus.

C2 "A Woman Adapts Like Duckweed in Water" multiplies Fanfare generation by 3.5x, and allows excess Fanfare points to increase Furina's Max HP during the duration of her Elemental Burst. The much faster Fanfare generation and increase to Furina's max HP greatly increase her personal DMG.

C3 "My Secret Is Hidden Within Me, No One Will Know My Name" increases Elemental Burst level, allowing the maximum DMG bonus to reach 124%. C4 "They Know Not Life, Who Dwelt in the Netherworld Not!" reduces energy requirements by around 40%.

C6 "Hear Me — Let Us Raise the Chalice of Love!" allows Furina's Normal Attacks to be infused with Hydro for 10s or 6 hits after using her Elemental Skill. In the Ousia Arkhe alignment, each hit also heals party members, forgoing the need of a healer in the team. In the Pneuma Arkhe alignment, more DMG is dealt, allowing Furina to become a main DPS. In both cases, Furina's Normal Attacks scale on HP with the multiplier tied to the Constellation, not affected by Normal Attack talent level.

C6 can be used off-field by utilizing the Ousia state to allow Furina to weave in a few Normal Attacks to heal the party. On-field, Furina can switch the Pneuma to deal the most DMG, then switch back to Ousia once hydro infusion ends.
