Her buffs and personal damage scale with HP, making her a unique Hydro character that thrives with proper investment.

Why You Should Pull for Furina

Top-Tier Support & Sub-DPS – She fits into many team comps, whether for Hydro application, healing, or buffing.
Universal Revelry Buffs – Her Burst boosts teamwide DMG and healing, making every character stronger.
Insane Synergy – Works really well with Neuvillette, Hu Tao, Lyney, Wriothesley, Ayaka, and almost all of the powerful characters in the game. Even if you don't have any other powerful characters you can pair her up with 4 stars and make absolutely fine teams!!!
Future-Proof – Fontaine’s mechanics favor HP-based scaling, and Furina excels in these teams.
Broken Constellations – Even at C1 or C2, she becomes significantly stronger, and C6 makes her a Main DPS.

Should You Go for Constellations?

  • C1Massively boosts damage output by making her Salon Members trigger attacks more often.

  • C6 – Transforms her into a Hydro DPS powerhouse, infusing her Normal Attacks with Hydro.

Pulling Furina is NEVER a waste! Whether you need a strong support, buffer, or future-proof Hydro character, she’s a game-changer. If you already have her, consider getting C1 or higher to unlock even more power!

Furina’s Role in a Team

Furina primarily functions as a Hydro Support that amplifies team damage through her Fanfare mechanic, which increases the team's damage output based on her max HP. However, she also has strong Sub-DPS potential, as her Elemental Skill deals continuous Hydro DMG that benefits from artifact bonuses.

Strengths:

Universal Buffer – Enhances all forms of damage (Elemental, Physical, and Reaction-based).
High Damage Potential – Strong personal DPS scaling with HP.
Synergizes with Many Teams – Works well with other top-tier supports like Bennett, Kazuha, and Xilonen.
Hydro Application – Excellent for reaction-based teams (Vaporize, Freeze, Bloom, etc.).

Weaknesses:

Requires a Healer – Her buffs depend on stacking Fanfare points, which healers enable.
High HP Investment – Needs HP-focused weapons and artifacts while balancing Energy Recharge and CRIT.
Energy Dependent – May require Energy Recharge investment for consistent uptime.
