Understanding Furina in Genshin Impact
Furina’s kit revolves around her Skill and Burst. Her Ousia-aligned Elemental Skill summons Salon Members that deal consistent off-field Hydro damage and apply Hydro to enemies. However, they also drain a small percentage of your team’s HP. This might sound risky, but it’s crucial for what comes next.
Her Elemental Burst grants a team-wide damage bonus based on “Fanfare,” which she gains whenever your team’s HP changes—whether through healing or the HP drain from her Skill. This unique mechanic encourages dynamic gameplay and makes healing a vital part of Furina’s strategy.

Furina Build Guide: Talent Priority
Skill = Burst > Normal Attacks
Furina’s Skill and Burst are equally important, so leveling them both should be your top priority. Her Normal Attacks, while visually appealing, are not a significant source of damage and can be safely left unleveled.
Furina Build Guide: Artifacts
Choosing the right artifacts is essential for maximizing Furina’s effectiveness.
- 4-piece Golden Troupe (GT): This is Furina’s best-in-slot artifact set. It significantly boosts her Skill damage, making her Salon Members hit even harder.
- 2-piece Mixed Sets: While farming for the 4-piece GT set, 2-piece bonuses of HP%, Energy Recharge (ER), Hydro DMG Bonus, or Skill DMG Bonus can serve as good placeholders.
- 4-piece Marechaussee Hunter (MH): This set becomes a strong contender only after unlocking Furina’s C6. It synergizes with her enhanced Normal Attacks at C6, but doesn’t benefit her Salon Members as much.
Artifact Stats:
- Sands: HP% or ER% (prioritize ER until you meet requirements)
- Goblet: HP% (generally preferred due to her A4 Passive and abundant DMG buffs, but Hydro DMG Bonus can also work)
- Circlet: Crit Rate or Crit DMG
Substat Priority: ER (until requirement) > Crit Rate/DMG > HP% > Flat HP
Weapons: Furina is F2P’s best friend!
Furina has several excellent weapon options, each with its own strengths:
- Splendor of Tranquil Waters: Her signature weapon and best-in-slot option. It provides a host of useful stats, including Crit DMG, HP Bonus, and a passive that further boosts her damage and HP.
- Primordial Jade Cutter: A strong alternative that offers a high Crit Rate substat and HP Bonus.
- Festering Desire: An excellent F2P option (if you obtained it during its event). Its combination of Skill buffs and ER makes it a formidable choice.
- Fleuve Cendre Ferryman: Another great F2P option obtainable through fishing in Fontaine. It acts similarly to Festering Desire.
- Favonius Sword: A reliable choice for meeting team ER requirements, but it sacrifices a portion of Furina’s personal damage. It’s often preferable to have another character on the team hold this weapon.

Team Compositions: Flexible support for every account
Furina’s team compositions revolve around two key elements: healing and synergy.
- Healing: A consistent source of party-wide healing is essential to keep your team alive and maximize Fanfare gains. Characters like Jean, Baizhu, Charlotte, Sigewinne, and Kokomi are excellent choices.
- Hydro Application: While Furina applies Hydro, it’s not as consistent as Xingqiu or Yelan. Consider pairing her with one or both of them for teams that rely on consistent Hydro application, like Vaporize teams.
- Fontaine Synergy: Characters with built-in HP manipulation, common among Fontaine characters, synergize exceptionally well with Furina, allowing for rapid Fanfare generation.
Example Team Comps:
- Vaporize: Furina, Xiangling, Bennett, Xingqiu/Yelan
- Freeze: Furina, Wriothesley/Ganyu, Kazuha, Xilonen
- Electro-Charged: Furina, Fischl, Beidou, Sucrose/Lan Yan
- Hyperbloom: Furina, Nahida, Kuki Shinobu, Flex (Dendro/Anemo)
