Furina abilities in Genshin Impact

A screenshot from the game Genshin Impact

Normal Attack: Soloist’s Solicitation

Normal Attack– Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes

Charged Attack– Consumes a certain amount of stamina to unleash a solo dance, dealing Physical DMG to nearby opponents and changing her Arkhe alignment. If Salon Members or Singer of Many Waters summoned by her Elemental Skill “Salon Solitaire” is present, their lineup will switch in response.

Arkhe: Seats Sacred and Secular – At intervals, when Furina’s Normal Attacks hit, a Surging Blade or Spiritbreath Thorn will descend based on her current alignment, dealing Hydro DMG based on her current alignment. When Furina takes the field, her starting Arkhe will be Ousia.

Salon Solitaire

Invites the guests of the Salon Solitaire to come forth and aid in Furina’s performance. Will summon either the Salon Members or the Singer of Many Waters based on Furina’s current Arkhe alignment.

Ousia – Foaming bubbles like celebrants shall dance, dealing AoE Hydro DMG based on Furina’s Max HP and summoning 3 Salon Members: the Ball Octopus-shaped Gentilhomme Usher, the Bubbly Seahorse-shaped Surintendante Chevalmarin, and the Armored Crab-shaped Mademoiselle Crabaletta.

Salon Members will attack nearby opponents at intervals, prioritizing the target of the active character, dealing Hydro DMG based on Furina’s Max HP. When they attack, if character(s) with more than 50% HP are nearby, the members will consume these character(s) HP and increase their current attack’s power based on the number of characters who were offered HP this way. If the characters who have had HP consumed are 1/2/3/4 (or more), the Members’ attacks will deal 110%/120%/130%/140% of their original DMG.

Pneuma – Summons the Singers of Many Waters, who will heal nearby active character (s) based on Furina’s Max HP at intervals. The Salon Members and Singers of Many Waters share a duration, and when Furina uses her Charged Attack to change the guest type, the new guests will inherit the initial duration.

Let the People Rejoice

Rouses the impulse to reveal, creating a stage of foam that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on Furina’s max HP and cause all party members to enter the Universal Revelry state: During this time, when nearby party member’s HP increases or decreases, they will grant Furina 1 Fanfare point based on the percentage by which their Max HP changed.

At the same time, Furina will increase the DMG dealt by an incoming healing bonus for all nearby party members based on the amount of Fanfare she has. When the duration ends, Furina’s Fanfare points will be cleared.

Passives

Endless Waltz– When the active character in your party receives healing, if the source of the healing is not Furina and the healing overflows, then Furina will heal a nearby party member for 2% of their max HP once every 2s within the next 4s.

Unheard Confession– Every 1000 points of Furina’s Max HP can buff the different Arkhe-aligned Salon Solitaire in the following ways:

  • Will increase Salon Member DMG dealt by 0.7%, up to a maximum of 28%.
  • Will decrease the active character healing interval of the Singers of Many Waters by 0.4%, up to a maximum of 16%.

The Sea is My Stage– Xenochromatic Fontemer Aberrant ability CD decreased by 30%.

Throughout the duration, Furina’s Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks will cause different effects up to every 0.1s after hitting opponents depending on her secret Arkhet alignment:

Best weapons for Furina in Genshin Impact

A screenshot from the game Genshin Impact

The best weapon for Furina is the featured 5-star sword Splendor of the Tranquil Waters. This sword has CRIT DMG as a secondary substat which will come in handy while building Furina. Additionally, its passive is quite strong as well.

When this weapon is equipped on a character, and their HP increases or decreases, the Elemental skill DMG is increased by 8% for 6 seconds. However, if the HP of someone else in the party increases or decreases, the HP of the character with the sword equipped increases by 14%. The only way to get this weapon is from the banner.

If you want to use a more free-to-play option, the 4-star sword Festering Desire will be a marvelous pick for Furina. This was an event weapon that was obtainable from Dragonspine. Lastly, you can also go for the Battle Pass sword Wolf Fang.

Furina pros and cons in Genshin Impact

The pros and cons of Furina in Genshin Impact are as follows:

Pros Cons
Powerful Sub-DPS HP drain makes a healer mandatory
Free to play friendly Healing mode is not worth it due to no Hydro application
Makes several characters viable
Buffs can enhance damage output significantly

Should you pull for Furina in Genshin Impact?

Yes, Furina is worth pulling in Genshin Impact. She is one of the best buffers in the game and the only unit that enables HP scaling. Her damage boosts are not just good, they are necessary in the current Genshin Impact meta where enemy HP is being increased with every patch.

Additionally, she makes units like Jean, Noelle, Sayu, and other healers who are not so good, quite viable. Her only downside is the HP drain which forces you to run a healer in the team. However, that can be easily balanced by characters like Xianyun and Kokomi.
