Furina, the much-anticipated Hydro Archon, has taken the Genshin Impact community by storm. She’s a versatile character, excelling as both an off-field DPS and a Support character, capable of dealing substantial damage and healing your party based on her Arkhe state. While we’ve already explored her best builds and talent priorities in a detailed guide, this article focuses on preparing for her arrival by farming the essential materials required for her ascension and talent upgrades. Keep in mind that the details in this guide are subject to change, as Furina and Genshin Impact 4.2 are still about a month away from their official release.
Gearing Up for Furina: A Pre-Farming Guide
For those who may not be familiar, Furina is a Hydro character, and she wields a sword. Her unique playstyle revolves around utilizing her party’s HP to maximize the damage dealt to her adversaries. This distinctive approach positions her as a support and sub-DPS character rather than a traditional DPS. One of her standout abilities is the capacity to switch between Arkhe states, transitioning from Ousia (her default state) to Pneuma. In our previous Furina Builds article, we touched on this mechanic briefly. In summary, this feature enables her to transition seamlessly between the roles of sub-DPS/support and a dedicated healer, ensuring your party remains in peak condition.
