Genshin Impact continues to introduce new characters with unique abilities and playstyles, and the upcoming character Furina, the vessel of Focalors, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, is no exception. With her arrival in Genshin Impact 4.2, players are eager to understand the intricacies of her gameplay kit, including her skills, Elemental Burst, and how she scales. In this article, we will delve into Furina's abilities and discover what she scales off of in the game.
Furina's Role and Background
Furina is a confirmed 5-star character in Genshin Impact 4.2 and plays a pivotal role as the vessel of Focalors, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine. As an Archon, she draws her power from her Gnosis rather than possessing a Vision, making her a divine being in Teyvat. Her gameplay kit reflects her divine status and offers a mix of offense and support, combining her HP-based attacks and healing capabilities.
Furina's Normal and Charged Attacks
Furina's normal attacks involve four consecutive strikes that deal physical damage. Her charged attack, on the other hand, can change her Arkhe alignment from Ousia to Pneuma. Depending on her current alignment, her normal attacks will trigger a Surging Blade or Spiritbreath Thorn, dealing Hydro damage. These attacks are instrumental in shaping Furina's role as a versatile character who can switch between offense and healing.

Furina's Elemental Skill - Salon Solitaire
Furina's Elemental Skill, Salon Solitaire, summons either the Salon Members or the Singers of the Streams based on her current Arkhe alignment. When aligned with Ousia, she summons Salon Members who deal Hydro damage based on Furina's Max HP and consume the HP of nearby characters with more than 50% HP to increase their damage. In the Pneuma alignment, she summons the Singers of the Streams, who heal nearby characters based on Furina's Max HP. This skill allows Furina to switch between offensive and healing roles as needed, making her a versatile addition to any team.
Furina's Elemental Burst - Let the People Rejoice
Furina's Elemental Burst creates a stage of foam that deals AoE Hydro damage based on her Max HP. It also triggers the Universal Revelry state, where party members' HP changes grant Furina Fanfare points, increasing her damage and healing capabilities. When the ability ends, Furina can heal nearby party members based on her Max HP, restoring their missing Health and dealing Hydro damage to nearby opponents. This Elemental Burst cements Furina's role as both a damage dealer and a support character, depending on the team's needs.
Scaling and Stats
Furina's abilities scale with her Max HP, making this stat crucial for optimizing her performance. To make the most of her capabilities, players should prioritize HP%, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and Energy Recharge on her artifacts. The choice of artifacts is also important, with the 4-piece Golden Troupe set being the preferred option for off-field DPS and support Furina.
