✨ Furina Buffer Build ✨

🌊 I gotta be honest with you, the first time I heard that Furina was gonna have a kit that specialize in draining the entire team's hp, I was a little worried that she'd be difficult to play. In my defense, I don't like characters with hp-draining kit. I've had Hu Tao for the longest time I know, and I've never used her even once. Not for clearing domains, leylines, not even the spiral abyss. I just don't like seeing my character's hp go red, it makes me feel anxious.

🌊 But she was rumored to be a buffer made in heaven for Neuvillette just like Nahida for Alhaitham, so of course I had to get her! I'd do anything to support my man Neuvillette xD

🌊 Disclaimer: This build is not perfect and by no means should be treated as a rigid rule. I just share what I have tested in game and what I know works for me. So always do your own research and take my guide with that note in mind!

Artifact Set

🌊 Furina's BiS would be the Golden Troupe, the new artifact from Fontaine that's not so new anymore now. Despite having a buffer kit, she actually works well as a sub-dps through her skill. She summons 3 salon members that will deal hydro damage to enemies with different time interval. I didn't even expect her skill to deal good damage but it does.

🌊 Aside from Golden Troupe, she can use any combination of hp% set with 2 pc hydro damage or ER. She will need a good amount of ER cuz you want her to burst every rotation. That's where her buff is.

4 pc Golden Troupe

2 pc Golden Troupe, 2 pc hydro damage (HoD/Nymph's Dream)

2 pc Golden Troupe , 2 pc hp% (Tenacity/Vourukasha)

2 pc hydro damage (HoD/Nymph's Dream), 2 pc hp% (Tenacity/Vourukasha)

🌊 Do note that her ER requirement will get lower if you run her in a double hydro team. It can get even lower if the other hydro brings ER weapon such as Favonius. She can also use either hp% or hydro damage goblet, the difference is very small, and just use whichever has the better subtats.

Artifacts stats: hp% sands or ER sands, hp% or hydro damage bonus goblet, crit damage circlet

Ratio to follow: >50% crit rate, >125% crit damage, 150-180% ER, 30.000-40.000 hp (her buff is capped at 40k hp, so make sure not to go overboard)

Team Composition

🌊 Furina can go in so many team comps. Her kit enables any character to be able to use the Fontaine artifacts as she can drain the entire team's hp (which is the requirement to activate 4 pc set Marechaussee Hunter). That being said, it's important to bring a massive healer who can heal the team instantly to maintain her Fanfare stack.

🌊 This stack is important to determine how much buff she can give. The stack can be triggered everytime your team member's hp goes up and down. That's why it's necessary to have a healer ready, unless she's playing with Fontainean character cuz they can easily heal themselves, or if your Furina is C1 as it instantly gives 150 points of Fanfare stack everytime she bursts.

Weapon Choice

🌊 Her signature weapon is actually good if you wanna increase your Furina's personal damage. But it doesn't do a lot for the team, so since this post is about Furina as a buffer, I wouldn't even put her signature weapon here.

Festering Desire (event exclusive weapon)

Fleuve Cendre Ferryman (adds bonus crit rate for skill,

Favonius Sword

Key of Khaj Nisut (hp% benefits her buff)

Primordial Jade Cutter (crit rate stats helps balance the crit ratio, passive adds hp%)

🌊 Like any other support, she has to be able to burst every rotation. Making sure that the buff keeps going will push the team's damage. 60 energy cost is not a lot, but since Furina herself doesn't produce energy particle on her own, she's gonna have to have a little kick in her ER stats. So any kind of ER weapon will do.

Talent Priority

🌊 Obviously go first for her burst, followed by her skill. Ignore her normal attack unless your Furina is C6.
