Faruzan in Genshin Impact

Faruzan is a 4-star bow-wielding Anemo character in Genshin Impact. If you’re looking to add her to your team, here are our recommended artifacts, weapons, and more.

Faruzan serves as a professor of the Sumeru Akademiya and a member of the Haravatat Darshan. The Haravatar Darshan focuses on semiotics, including the study of ancient runes.

Faruzan can be an excellent choice for both buffing Anemo DMG and decreasing an enemy’s Anemo RES. However, you won’t reach her full potential until you manage to pull Faruzan’s sixth constellation.

To transform Faruzan into a formidable unit, keep reading to learn what artifacts and weapons we suggest farming for the character.

Faruzan abilities in Genshin Impact

An image of Faruzan in Genshin Impact.

Normal Attack: Turnaround Shooter

  • Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
  • Charged Attack: Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, mighty winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow will deal anemo damage.
  • Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, hitting opponents along the pat and dealing AoE damage upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Wind Realm of Nasamjnin

Faruzan deploys a polyhedron that deals AoE Anemo DMG to nearby opponents. She will also enter the Manifest Gale state.

While in the Manifest Gale state, Faruzan’s next fully charged shot will consume this state and will become a Hurricane Arrow that deals Anemo DMG to opponents hit. This DMG will be considered Charged Attack DMG.

Pressurized Collapse:

The Hurricane Arrow will create a Pressurized Collapse effect at its point of impact, applying the Pressurized Collapse effect to the opponent or character hit. This effect will be removed after a short delay, creating a vortex that deals AoE Anemo DMG and pulls nearby objects and opponents in.

The vortex DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.

Elemental Burst: The Wind’s Secret Ways

Faruzan deploys a Dazzling Polyhedron that deals AoE Anemo DMG and releases a Whirlwind Pulse.

While the Dazzling Polyhedron persists, it will continuously move along a triangular path. Once it reaches each corner of that triangular path, it will unleash 1 more Whirlwind Pulse.

Whirlwind Pulse:

  • When the Whirlwind Pulse hits opponents, it will apply Perfidious Wind’s Ruin to them, decreasing their Anemo RES.
  • The Whirlwind Pulse will also apply Prayerful Wind’s Gift to all nearby characters when it is unleashed, granting them Anemo DMG Bonus.

Faruzan Constellations

Lucky enough to get multiple copies of Faruzan? Here are what buffs you can expect from her constellations.

  • Level One – Truth by Any Means: Faruzan can fire off a maximum of 2 Hurricane Arrows using fully charged Aimed Shots while under a single Wind Realm of Nasamjnin effect.
  • Level Two – Overzealous Intellect: The duration of the Dazzling Polyhedron created by The Wind’s Secret Ways increased by 6s.
  • Level Three – Spirit-Orchard Stroll: Increases Elemental Skill Level by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
  • Level Four – Divine Comprehension:
  • The vortex created by Wind Realm of Nasamjnin will restore Energy to Faruzan based on the number of opponents hit: If it hits 1 opponent, it will restore 2 Energy for Faruzan. Each additional opponent hit will restore 0.5 more Energy for Faruzan. A maximum of 4 Energy can be restored to her per vortex.
  • Level Five – Wonderland of Rumination: Increases Elemental Burst Level by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
  • Level Six – The Wonderous Path of Truth: Characters affected by The Wind’s Secret Ways‘ Prayerful Wind’s Gift have 40% bonus CRIT DMG when they deal Anemo DMG. When your own active character deals DMG while affected by Prayerful Wind’s Gift, they will fire another Hurricane Arrow at opponents. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5s.

Best Faruzan Artifacts in Genshin Impact

Faruzan can work with several artifact sets, but we recommend using Viridescent Venerer if you want her as a Swirl Support. You could also use the Noblesse Oblige set if you want to her as a buffer or Tenacity of the Millelith if you manage to acquire C6 Faruzan.

Best Faruzan weapon in Genshin Impact

The best option for Faruzan is the 5-star bow Elegy for the End. This weapon increases her Elemental Mastery by 60 and could further improve it by another 100 in addition to increasing ATK by 20% for 12 seconds.

We recommend placing Faruzan alongside teammates like Wanderer, Xiangling, and Bennett to buff the Pyro and Anemo users with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. You could also replace Wanderer with Heizou if you haven’t been lucky enough to pull the former character.

You could also add Faruzan to a Mono Anemo team consisting of Wanderer, Jean, and Bennett to take advantage of Faruzan’s Anemo RES ability.
