The Hydro Archon: Furina has been released to Genshin Impact as of Version 4.2. Today we will be breaking down why I was insane enough to make a Why EVERYONE Plays episode of a character who literally just came out. The answer: BECAUSE SHE'S F***ING BROKEN.

@@abduraghmaanariefdien4522no it’s 60 primos
mika charlotte baizhu barbra are the ones i remember can fully heal party
If I have yelan and kazuha 1 guaranteed should I get furina or shogun?
What happend to the no one plays RIZZlord video, or was that a joke?
Furina didn't just want to be someone, she wanted to be everyone.
most likely EVERYinONE
Too bad she is super niche and only buffs fontaine characters. What a clown character, neuvillette deserves to be the archon
@@Personpersonpersonpersonskill issue
@@Personpersonpersonperson I agree she is kinda niche. But she does not buff Fontaine characters. What she does is, she makes Fontaine weapons viable on characters who are not from Fontaine
@@PersonpersonpersonpersonNiche??! Bro my diluc dealt 250000+ damage with just an r1 wolf how is she niche you just need 1 damage dealer 1 healers put a yae miko or just any off field damage dealer and you'll destroy the game
So what Vars is saying is...
Furina encapsulates Hydro's aspect of being versatile with her damage boost being unconditional
Yeah pretty much. Although it's mostly her Ousia form(black) that brings 99.9% of her value.
Her Pneuma form has literally no use in combat (just like in the story) outside of being a portable statue of the seven.
Yes and he’s lying. Her damage boost isn’t unconditional. The condition is that your team has to lose and gain a lot of HP for the buff to actually mean anything.
@@JosepiThe13th incredibly conditional damage boost
@@JosepiThe13thtell me a team which does not use a healer
@@JosepiThe13thunconditional in the sense she boost majority of the dmg types even physical and shatter and forgoing the need of a elemental goblet on your dps
I do like how furina doesnt really overshadow xingqiu or yelan in spite of her insanity, all three of them serve their own roles within the same neiche and i think thats really interesting
Yups! If anything Furina's combined healing + DMG buff makes Yelan and Xingqiu better, considering one is an HP scaler character and the other is a partial healer 😭
Reverse powercreep is truly something I love about Genshin, because even if I get new characters the older characters still hold up and sometimes become better because of those new characters.
The only hydro to fell off here is Ayato,Childe to the lesser extent but Ayato mainly
@@Josh-qt5ziNot ayato. Since Mika got buffed to insanity through Furina, Ayato hyper can exist well- Ayato, Furina, Mika, Kazuha
@@flamezforthegamez1056Neuvillete exists And it's a better Hydro Carry than ayato in terms of damage and it can AOE multiple Targets at once so Ayato did get Powercreep but Tartaglia don't since He can Buff Neuvillete charge attack Damage with his Passive talent
That's so funny how Furina legit can just discard Hu Tao's most well-known passive.
No but she can be helpful in a hu Tao team
@@slayerscorpmurichirobest-wq6fnnah her hydro application isn't fast enough for hu tao to vape and u can't use a team wide healer with hu tao since u need to keep her below 50 percent hp limiting the amount of fanfair points furina gets therefore limiting her buffs
@lakshans6962 actually, the HuTaoMains subreddit has been theorycrafting with Furina for a while now, and it's generally agreed that the new best Hu Tao team is going to be her, Furina, Yelan/XQ, and Jean. Admittedly, 3 5*s on a team is expensive, but it's been calculated to do more damage above 50% hp than even the previous double hydro team below 50%
@roguemusketeer7501 highly unlikely that team would outdps her current best team, being funerational. Especially with all the anti synergy.
@@lakshans6962furina's buffs outweighs Hu tao's OWN. Hu Tao double hydro can use Yelan and Furina as dmg bonus. So Hu Tao can be double EM or HP/Em/crit. And baizhu or Jean for healing
I just want to point out, noelle heals the whole party with her burst if you have her skill active every time you auto with her. In mono geo, noelle has the potential to max out her burst stacks VERY quickly for those of you who want to screw around.
Geo + Furina is no longer Mono Geo, it's triple geo or even double geo
What artifacts do you have on Noelle as I just find her healing too awful. If you run a good set on her I might revisit and see what I can do with her, otherwise Jean is good enough for me for Furina
@@draephoenixshe's not a burst healer so her healing might seem kinda lacklustre, but put her on 4pc husk :) she really doesnt need as much healing considering she shields too
@@draephoenix Because Furina gives damage buff, you can use defence cup on Noelle. And the fastest way she heal is using charge attack. As Furina also buff healing amount you can easily maximize the buff before her charge attack finish.
@@draephoenixHer healing on-field is pretty good. I have her crowned, and she can fully heal the party with just a couple of swings. My defense is pretty high though - she's using R5 Whiteblind with 4pc Husk, and she's at 2.3k defense without any buffs active.
imagine pyro archon being both dps and dmg bonus or atk buffer
and cryo archon as crit machine
if they are literally just bennette, that would already be meta because like having two xingqiu, having 2 bennette's can only be good.
@@remixtheidiot5771dps Bennett
I want the pyro Archon to literally be a dbz character, have a huge nova burst that also boosts attk or lowers defense to everyone affected and applies burning
@@vrika4280 I think every archon will be support or off field dps and not stricted to play only as on field dps to make them last longer and can be money machine for hoyo every time their banner on rate up
If the cryo archon doesn't have CRIT mechanics I'm gonna be surprised it's everywhere in cryo
14:16 “Jean is the only character that could Insta-heal your party to full health”
Baizhu: 🐍
I was waiting for him to bring up Baizhu the whole time, having a team wide heal on his skill is ridiculously good for Furina.
Mika:
Yaoyao:
Barbara 💀
its definitely wrong that Jean is only one capable of this. Baizhu's only flaw with Furina is that to fit him into Furina's rotations with proper CD management, most Baizhu's will require 2 usages of his E skill to maintain burst uptime. His burst is definitely strong for healing but it's maintaining it to be ready every time which is difficult at the higher level. When Baizhu is unable to match Furina's ult usage with his own, thats where he falls as a healer compared to Jean, Yaoyao, or Mika. Some people mention Barbara but her whole team healing is very reliant on burst, which also has the problem of sufficient energy recharge. Her E requires a sizeable amount of field time to full heal the team with E + auto attacks.
@@DNAbro And the best part is that he only needs to use his skill
YOU get a Furina, YOU get a Furian, EVERYONE gets a Furina.
When you said "slap a Festering Desire on her", my Bennett cried.
I don't want to imagine how broken Murata and the Tsaritsa will be. Or whatever god comes after them.
Just remember, the pyro archon gotta compete with Bennett + XL lmao
Furina had to compete with xingqiu and Yelan@@taylormoreira1266
@@taylormoreira1266
Personally, I think Murata is going to be a Main DPS that has powerful charged attacks that deal one big hit, but goes into cool down when used twice consecutively.
And then, her burst can hold 5 charges, each costing 35 energy to cast. Then, using a burst will reset the cooldown of her charged attack.
.... maybe this references a certain battlesuit too much?
bennett is better with sapwood blade anyways, slap that on him and let the hydro archon shine
I took one break from this game. One. Came back for dragonspine and saw the festering desire event page on its last day. I had like 3 Questa to do to catch up to the event so I said fuck it I'll just play. Biggest regret in this game
Furina casually powercreeping kazuha and yelan yet buffing kokomi is insane i love her
For me personally I think I’ll still prefer kazuha. But no reason we can’t use em together 😤
She is weaker than kazuha and yelan...
Kazuha powercrept by jean lmaooo deserved
@@lawfulgoodnun1646 never, jean is just better than kazuha in some cases with furina
@@lawfulgoodnun1646this is the kinda agenda we need to push 😂
i think my favorite thing about Furina is that she breathes new life into so many characters and opens up a new way to think about team building … like it makes me so happy that characters like Noelle, Jean, or Mika, etc. have become way more valuable by the mere existence of Furina 💙😌
How? I dont get it
@@real_rutmen Furina burst increase team dmg base on fanfare points and in order to increase fanfare points easily she needs another healer (burst team healer is better like jean, baizhu)
Jean doesn't need new life. She can still do it all if only people invest the time to build her correctly. Jean doesn't need Furina.
@@spiritcomics5655 i never said Jean needed Furina?? all im saying is that a bunch of characters like her get a lot of new value with Furina 👍
@@real_rutmen we have a lot of characters that aren’t necessarily bad, but see lower usage in endgame content like spiral abyss bc they struggle to compete against more popular characters at the same investment level - for example we can look at Jean: when properly invested in, she’s a perfectly fine healer/vv holder! but she didn’t see much play prior to Furina bc people preferred to either use an anemo character with more utility (such as Kazuha for grouping) or a different healer that offered more utility (such as Kokomi who can heal and reliably use artifact sets like tenacity or deepwood)
however now that Furina has been released, she has really great synergy with characters like Jean who can instantly heal the whole team with one press of a button - which allows Furina to continue draining teammates’ hp in order to build up fanfare stacks faster and give a greater damage boost to the team… therefore this opens up a lot of possibilities for new teams since Furina works so well with characters that previously didn’t see as much use 👍✨

When he said she was “fucking bullshit” I had the biggest smile on my face
If your enemy is immune to hydro, just remember, her skill can also be used to heal and thus, she can be used as a replacement healer and damage buffer. She us useful no matter what lol
Unfortunately she won’t drain Hp in her pneuma mode. So unless you have someone like Lyney or Hu Tao, you won’t be doing anything.
i'd say just use her and put her stupidly good dmg buff to other chara. I add her to my exploration team, now wanderer, furina, jean, and zhongli. I could swap zhongli for xingqiu for resistance and get that 25% HP boost, but honestly having zhongli means any ore is two click away from my inventory and those shiny fontaine ore is everywhere.
Except for the fact her healing is dogshit and she can’t even make use of her own passive.
What I did in fighting tulpa for her ascension
@@sittingcrowd912 its for if you're facing hydro immune enemies like the mimic or tainted hydro phantasm and you're too lazy to change team, u can just keep her in her damaging form, it won't deal damage, but it will still drain your hp, thus u still get the damage buff from ur ult anyways
Charlotte, Mika, Sayu, and Baizhu all also have a large frontloaded heal that blasts to your hole team. They will all help facilitate Furina's massive buffing capabilities!
Sayu healing is so slow and low % it's simply not gonna be enough.
You guys don't get it, vars was absolutely crazy during his stream about Furina's meta
Do tell
Elaborate my good sir/Madam
She just came out no way there’s a why everyone plays this early

@@substitutedoll5224 yeah I expected that
It doesn't matter if she just came out. Everyone will get her and play her regardless because she's an incredible unit
@@s3vashwhat XD
Yaoyao has numbers to heal the whole party twice over.
True as
She exchanges field time for that though, so other healers that can do the same off-field are better than her
hmm this actually benefits one off healers more, cant believe that day ever came but yeah
This is actually one of the notable options where Baizhu is a straight upgrade over Yaoyao since he doesn't need as much field time.
@@brycearmstrong9370 Oh absolutely, furinas presence actually greatly increases baizhus value i was just saying this in response to the video saying "if there was anyone other than jean who could full heal the party", we have yaoyao, baizhu, charlotte as options to that end. Yaoyao is just the one everyone is more likely to have
I know a lot of people are focusing on Furina boosting dmg, but I think the fact that she makes it possible for ANYONE to run the marasussy hunter set is absolutely insane!! I've got a pretty good set and with a crit rate or crit dmg weapon im getting characters to 100cr/200+cr dmg. I think this might officially make the hunter set the #1 best general set in the game for dps characters hands down
((marasussy)) I need 79 hours to recover from that name. 💀 Best one since I heard someone referring to it as the "Massachusetts Hunter". 😭
I wouldn't say it is the #1 best general set, because it has a major drawback: you have to run that DPS with Furina (barring a select few Fontaine ones). And with the Abyss having two sides, well...
Plus it means you have to move crap around, and that sucks.
Overrated benefit, basically, more hassle than it is worth.
@Axterix13 I still don't think that Abyss having 2 sides makes hunter any less of a general set when compared to the other sets. the majority of artifacts are either tied to an element or a niche play style that maybe 3 characters use if even that. The only exception I can think of is the emblem set.
@@MagisterialVoyager "Masochist H&ntai"
@@TRak598 I didn't expect to be called out today, but so be it. /j 🤣 OK, that's a good one, too. And it's fitting, since the set works when we gets our HP sucked AKA we get hurt. 😩

Barbara, Charlotte and Yaoyao asf: ...
Edit: Forgot about Mika mb
Baizhu is essentially the best healer for Furina and have the banner up right next to Furina and he doesn't mention Baizhu 😂😂😂
Yaoyao needs onfield time tho and needs to constantly attack. Agreed on Barbara and Charlotte tho but not Yaoyao.
Mika
@@jacobdonut4932Do you mean Qiqi not Yaoyao? Yaoyao doesn't need to do that.
Yes, they can heal too, but Jean can equip Viridescent Venerer, which arguably made her the best option.
If Furina deserved a "Why everyone plays" on release, Sigewinne deserves a "Why no one play" on release. Her kit is frankly baffling considering it's coming from the same people who made the rest of version 4.
If she doesn't end up being a standard banner character I'll be shocked.
Barbara is crying because you forgot about her full party heal burst.
And Yao Yao, yeah it’s not instant but it’s pretty damn fast
I was about to say this 😂. My c20 Barbara can full team heal lol
@@cokekan2927
Barbara’s skill does heal enough, especially when you know that her skill is basically Kokomi’s Burst. She heals the entire party with normal and charged attacks very fast.
Her energy cost isn’t really a problem given that not only she passively regenerates her own energy with C1 and her C4 makes her actively regenerate energy, but you can just give someone else in the party a Favonius weapon.
Not to mention that the presence of Furina will grant Hydro particles and increase MAX HP.
Just give her an Energy Sands and then go for HP and ER in the rest of the artifacts’ sub stats. Those are not difficult-to-come-by stats.
Also, Furina’s energy cost is 60. How are we talking about energy problems with her?
@LuisBrito-ly1ko lol bro you speaking too much facts for this community
I missed using my barbara .... now its time for her to shine...!!
Two things to add to your analysis.
1. You forgot about Baizhu for full party healing
2. You might not need a healer if you bring the right character. Combine the healing recieved bonus from Furina's elemental burst with her first passive and any character with self healing (Neuvie, Rizzly, Hu Tao, Lyney, Lynette) could potentially heal the party
That's still cope. Yes to a certain extent you can heal the party but heal % is still very low of max hp for the active character. For Neuvillette this is less cope if you are using amber on him and he heals himself constantly. For others i think it might be awkward.
As a noelle main i see this is an absolute win
Giga cope. At least throw Noelle heals in there not Hu Tao heals.
This might be cope except if you're aim is to finish the fight in one rotation. Otherwise, you won't be able to max out her fanfare points since you're not healing the rest of the party and Furinas skill damage deminishes if your party is below 50%. It could work for Noelle tho but other than her, a party REALLY needs a healer.
Neuv heals himself for ~15K at least with every charged attack, with him particularly it is anything but cope
Not only her skills is insane, her archon quest also insanely emotional
I feel like youre also overlooking Baizhu as a healer. His skill is a potent teamwide heal, and his ultimate consistantly and rapidly heals the onscreen party member.
Oh my god, Furina is here and now the archon quest shall traumatize- I MEAN impress players😍

@@princemannic she gives the whole squad a 75-125% buff and her skill does more base dmg than yelan's burst, only mid thing about her is that her application is worse than both yelan and xingqiu

@@bullettime1116even then her application is still great, it just isn't consistent like XQ or Yelan as each of her friends has their own ICD and attack speed. Sometimes you apply it three times at once, and sometimes there is a decent gap lol

“You’re saying I can take damage without worrying about stagger, Sign me up”

When Eula and Raiden's best teams were hyperbloom, you need something crazy to balance it out.
How does Eula best team end up as Hyperbloom? Cryo does nothing for it.

Fridge team actually
@@NorthWolf97 Cryo helps with bloom generation.
@@NorthWolf97it's called hyperfridge. Search it up. It's actually crazy how powerful dendro is bruh.
Another thing is that she is being released together with Charlotte who can actually do party wide heals.
So if you manage to somehow not have Jean then Charlotte might do.
Honestly preferable because freeze is nice cc
I didn’t expect you already made everyone play for her even if mostly theory without future characters considered but I agree her similarities to Nahida especially in making even Kokomi top DPS is something I loved and I do suspect pyro and Cryo archons would be similar if they offered damage and Crit buffs respectively.
IMO, Finally having another universal buffer + healer character like Bennett but more than just ATK. Even though that I never use her pneuma skill but I can't deny that her buffs are amazing.
The appeal of these videos to me was seeing them as a retrospective of the characters, a recap of how they actually turned out to be
This just feels like a character's first impressions
I'm kinda a bit scared of Vars right now
Feels like something snapped within him
Holy the amount of misinformation and misunderstanding on the theorycrafting part of Furina's kit is (to borrow Vars' word) INSANE!
First thing first, regarding the Fanfare's buff, its not an uncoditional buff, it's highly conditional buff because you have to fluctuate your HP to gain that stacks.
I mean, once you get 50% her summons stops draining your team HP and then she stop gaining the Fanfare stack therefore, no damage bonus gained.
Now speaking of numbers at 5:06, character's damage output is HIGHLY DEPENDS on the team and buffs/rotations, one character can easily have either higher or a lower dmg compared to other at the same amount of investment just by modifying their rotations.
I mean the idea of Furina have comparable dps to Yelan is not wrong, but when all you're comparing is their motion value, NOT the actual damage output, hell not even the total of the motion value in a rotation serve no real purpose.
I'll just say, in a team where you play Yelan and Furina together, Yelan will no doubt have higher dmg ouput than Furina.
Also at 6:00, what do you mean no activation condition on Furina's skill? You need your entire team to be above 50% for the summon to gain damage bonus and you need to fluctuate your teammates HP if you want to gain Fanfare stacks.
Those are a very STRICT condition that require you to bring a Teamwide Healer on your team in place of other buffer/grouper/shielder to make sure the skill actually does damage.
Attacking something to focus on targeting is like the least important condition for her summon its almost non-issue, since they auto target the enemies nearby anyway. You can just sit still and they'll still target enemies.
Its just they wont do any damage unless you fulfill the HP requirement from your party.
At 7:51, the 75% damage buff from fanfare (assuming you fully stack it at talent level 10), is additive to the other Damage Bonus buff like Elemental Skill damage bonus from Golden Troupe set or Normal/Anemo damage bonus buff from Desert Pavilion set.
So basically assuming your entire party only dealing Pyro Element, this 75% damage bonus is the exact same buff as 75% Pyro Elemental damage bonus your party have from their Goblet.
Its not a Total Damage, its an additive damage bonus. A total damage buff would be Xingqiu's C4 and Yoimiya's Elemental Skill. That's different.
There's so much more to unpack especially in regard to how useful a 75% team wide damage bonus is. Like you do get that buff but you're losing out on a grouper and a decent 10%-20% of your team dps by losing Kazuha in favor of slotting Jean in a Neuvilette, Zhongli, Furina for example.
Or dropping either Fischl, Xingqiu, Yelan in favor of slotting in Baizhu in a Cyno, Nahida, Furina team.
Finally, 13:59, How the hell Diona is optimal healer for Furina in that team when Kokomi and Qiqi is considered not fast enough healer is beyond me!?
Like i get you're excited about a new character, but boy, the amount of misinformation in this video is insane.
Finally somebody said this, thank you!! Furina is very good but there are so many conditions to using her that this video doesn't seem to go over. Especially mentioning Diona as an optimal healer in a Eula team--I used that team, and it didn't work at all lmao, Diona does not heal fast enough.
Yessss omg pls someone pin this comment im tired of ppl overhyping furina without going into detail with the restrictions of her kit
I like how all of you in this comment thread are incorrect and it's hilarious 😂
Love how in lore she's like a regular human with originally no powers at all and then she proceeded to upend the entire meta singlhandedly
0:23- 0:29
“Archons should aim to encapsulate the fundamental aspects of the element, they should embody what the element is meant to be in Genshin impact”
I kinda think Neuvilette is a better representation of what the Hydro element is and does, (encourage reactions, hydro app, some aspect that uses HP, healing or scaling, in his case, both.) kinda like Kazuha to Venti
Does furina not do everything you said and more?
Furina does all of that and Buffs with an insane damage boost
She has the highest overall damage buff in the game at 75% C0 and over 90% at C3
Finally I won a 50/50 again and got Furina at 51 pity. Before this, I had lost five 50/50s in row. The last time I had won a 50/50 was Yelan's first banner. That's right..even before the release of Sumeru. And after watching this video, I'm so glad it was Furina's banner that I finally won a 50/50 again. Yay!
Be blessed by the Hydro Archon
Hydro archon is bratty but she has a good heart❤
After watching your video I realised how badly I wanted her now. I wasn’t interested in pulling for her first, but your video convinced me since I already have a neuvilette lol. On my first 10 pull I got pity broken by a Jean (funny since you said that Jean is her best support) and on my second 10 I got Furina lmao. I was like ‘is this fate?!?!’ XD.
To say Furina is a game changer is a massive understatement. Not only is she great by herself but she brings so many other characters back into play for team building. The possibilities may not be endless but its damn near close
She just came out
Furina’s burst does not give unconditional damage buff. The condition is losing and healing hp to gains its stacks
Technically you are going to do that anyway, so it's considered unconditional

Jeans the only one who can heal ur team full in seconds... *baizhu coughing in the corner* am i joke to you?
She might be good for damage but I’m finding her boring to play. She doesn’t “feel” unique like other archons.
The value she provides is essentially just a damage number buff. Which is unnecessary for the difficulty of the game, and boring for veteran players.
I also don’t really like her design or the design of the “summoned pets.” I will not be running her frequently for that reason.
Am I the only one feeling this way?
I have tried her trial and i felt stupid, just watching the summons attacking
@@danielending3381 I agree, it’s quite boring. Yae, who has a similar gameplay, feels a lot more fun.

@@ЗлаяПетрушка I agree-he’s been on my teams since I got him on release
one aspect you didn't explicitly mention and didn't get brought up in the comments is that she enables characters like tighnari who couldn't previously run bloom / hyperbloom / quickbloom to do so because her hydro application is unconditional, while yelan & xinqiu need normal attacks, which is a huge dissynergy with charged attack and quickswap carries.
the only reason im bringing this up is because tighnari is my favorite character to play and bloom is my favorite reaction. before furina a bloom tighnari was so awkward to play, now it's effortless.
i guess kokomi and mona were there too but they're both tied to an area while furina isn't.
Really disappointed with the current state of "Why EVERYONE Plays: ____" series. The main selling points of these types of videos were to show that these said characters are really GOOD, proven by the fact that majority of the player base are actually USING them. But now, it has degraded into a state where these videos are simply biased takes/reviews of the creator themselves, hence making these videos lose their meaning in the first place.
It is genuinely sad to see the current state of these videos, as I really enjoyed the old videos and wondered why people would play some of the more popular characters (Raiden/Nahida etc).
DISCLAIMER: I am not saying that Furina is a bad character or anything, she is REALLY good, it is simply me ranting on these videos losing their original meaning in the first place.

get C6 and she's meant to be played on-field
Or use candace
As much as I hate to say it, you are drastically overestimating Furina. She has limitations in the fact that she needs a healer and that her hydro application is not nearly enough for many characters and team comps. The healer bit might not sound so bad but it removes Bennett from being on the team because his healing is not good enough, same with kuki, and a whole slew of other characters that would work well but don’t because they don’t have party wide healing. On top of that you could also be replacing people like Kazuha or Sucrose just cause you need Jean for healing. Don’t get me wrong Furina is still an amazing unit, just not the best.
I do agree, plus I think furina is in fact more restrictive in her teams structure than flexible how everyone loves to put it😅 not only u need a team wide healer, but a ton of er on furina herself to even get that burst up.. plus each time u lose all the buffs and have to restack the fanfare points again... Too much hassle for a buff that only 1 or 2 characters on the team will benefit out of 😅 actually the best overall meta defining team is surprisingly haitham quickbloom in which furina is a huge downgrade due to her extremely poor hydro application as well... So yeah overall a mid and overrated unit that everyone hypes up wayyy too much, overlooking a lot of her clunkiness and restrictiveness..
@@ЗлаяПетрушкаquickbloom is meant to maximise Alhaitham’s spread damage. You need the “poor” hydro application so that the quicken aura has a higher uptime. Obviously this is going to be less damage than a pure hyperbloom ram unless you have a highly invested Alhaitham. It’s just a different variation of an Alhaitham spread team like Raiden National.
@@ЗлаяПетрушка Really looking at it now I am starting to regret pulling for her. For her to work I am going to need to also raise charlotte and then wait for neuvillete to rerun. Otherwise she can't fit into any team that I have.
@@sentryion3106 honestly, same, hence why i decided to save and wait for her next rerun until I can make my final decision if she’s worth the pulls or not
@@lanyardodo while i do agree that furina is a suitable support for quickbloom haitham, it is only the case if u wanna put baizhu as ur team healer, which would be a greater dmg loss compared to running nahida instead.. so yeah, overall, furina is in fact an option for the team, however, not the most optimal one, especially when compared to units such as xingqui with his interruption resistance, or yelan for her own personal off field dmg
Furina's potential biggest strength is the fact she allows any character, all by herself, to use the Hunter artifact set.

AS A JEAN MAIN, I AM HERE FOR HER RENAISSANCE
11:21 I came from future, and now she is the most used character for abyss (4.6)
I'm just so happy that Furina can synergize well with Hu Tao and it's a good thing that i also got Neuvillette because i knew that he'd work well with Furina too not only that he's also just as important as Furina in Fontaine's story
Vars was going bonkers on stream about Futuna’s potential. Loved every bit of it.
There's also an INSANE overlooked team for her, which is Qiqi hyperfridge, yes, Qiqi!!
She's finally seeing the light after all of these years!!
Their synergy is way too good!!
.
Team explaination in the first replay:
Qiqi hyperfridge team will contain: Qiqi, Furina, Nahida, and Raiden. (Can replace Nahida with DMC and Raiden with Shinobu).
.
Qiqi will be on-field attacking, driving, and healing the whole team with every hit to max out Furina's stacks, so why Qiqi and not anyone else?
Qiqi's attacks are fast, she can apply cryo consistently for Freeze and Superconduct (Freeze helps making more blooms), she heals A LOT with every hit, and she deals good dmg with Clam set that can be increased by Superconduct.
Qiqi will be using Sac sword and Clam set with healer build(atk/atk/healing bonus), no ER needed. Raiden will be builded with full EM. Nahida will be builded as a dps with Deepwood. And Furina with dps build as long as you have enough HP and ER for her.
.
On top of everything, this team will have a long looong dps window due to their long duration abilities (~18s), meaning waaaay higher dps time and less dps loss when switching to your supports to do your rotation again, which is a huge advantage! Not to mention that other than Furina no one will need their burst, which makes the builds and rotations easier and save the few seconds of the burst animation.
Note that the hyperblooms won't get buffed by Furina, but Furina, Nahida, and even Qiqi will.
Qiqi has been considered low tier is NOT because she isn't good, she's in fact the best healer in term of healing, it's because what she's good at (overhealing) wasn't needed before Furina, but now we're on the healing era! Qiqi IS becoming better!
Oh yes.... Me c4 qiqi can shine now
@@-jno3164 sir, you have no idea how much this will "awaken" my c2 qiqi.
I guess losing my 50/50 to Qiqi wasn't such a bad thing afterall
@@-jno3164 But furina buff only works on Nahida personal damage since it doesn't affect transformative reaction, so this team is worse than just having yelan or xq and swap out qiqi for kaeya.
Any time I look at my Ayaka side of the Abyss recap, Furina always has the highest single strike at around 90k.
7:50 Just a small nitpick, but it is indeed not "total" dmg, it is in the formula of DMG%, like the one you get from goblets (only it is not restricted to a type of dmg unlike elemental dmg% bonus).
Yeah I had a few other comments point it out. The wording can be pretty weird lol
Baizhu c1 allows him to essentially do a party-wide full heal, but on his skill. And his burst also gives additional off-field healing to make sure you can fully cap fanfare stacks at c0 furina + a shield to prevent you from getting staggered into oblivion
Arguably she is one of the most versatile characters. I tried several teams with her (she's only level 70 because my other friends were also farming her mats so they didn't let me in) and she puts in work. Can't wait to finish leveling her.
“We have begun our descent into the anime degenerate rabbit hole.” *_Begun?_*
Slow non auto attack hydro damage that can crit us Klee mains have waited 3 years for this niche
Her damage boost, especially at c0 isn’t unconditional though. It can be difficult to pull off with a healer that only heals one party member at a time (like Diona or Bennett); I’ve already tried her with Diona and it’s very clunky, so she isn’t as versatile as you said. I don’t think she’s a must-pull, I think this video is overhyping her a bit, given the update just came out.
Also maybe don’t reveal major story spoilers RIGHT after an update comes out?
She is surprisingly balanced for an archon. She shackled to a couple of healers , without a full team healer she is mid if not even clunky. imo she is on the level of the other archons besides nahida and behind xq and yelan
If you don't already have strong team healers its probably best to skip her.
Its interesting how she could have been broken if she doesn't have the 50% health limit but that limit really a long with constant hp drains really pulls her back
@@sentryion3106 yeah I do really like her tbh, it’s fun making teams that utilize her well without her being a must-pull like Nahida. She can really buff your damage if you have full party healers, too. I just wish this video went over her nuances and caveats instead of overhyping her
Barbed Wire full party heal getting ignored: 👁👄👁
Why dosnt anyone give credit to baizhu? Presistent team wide healing off field and potent healing. Baizhu is arguably better then jean since jean onle heals with her burst. Baizhu heals party wide with both skill and burst. And so dose barbra evwn if shes much weaker burst wise
Jean gets the benefit of cleanse (not that important nowadays) and vv. She also has less energy requirement than baizhu. Same with Barbara which suffers from high energy need while furina is also energy hungry
Important to know that furina doesn’t work well with transformative reaction like what dendro is all about so baizhu with furina is an awkward pairing. Furina works great with amplification reaction and mono element which is where vv shrines.
Don’t know since I haven’t tested yet but Jean continuously heal during her burst so probably going to overheal too.
@@sentryion3106 ah that makes sense.
While I know you're exaggerating on purpose in this video, and I do agree Furina is an absolutely killer unit, I think she's a little bit more balanced than you're giving credit for. Furina trades massive damage bonuses for survivability. While you can argue really good players won't care.. she drains your whole team's health really REALLY quickly. Without a really good healer or a shielding unit she sets you up to be one shot by a lot of enemies. She also forces a healer, which yeah a lot of people already run healers (including me), but a lot of meta players skipped having healers on their teams. So with that in mind, she's essentially a superpowered unit that compensates for the support slot you're sacrificing to run a healer. Lastly, I think it's important to emphasize just how front-loaded she is. Yes, her dmg boost is enormous but even with Jean, it's hard to heal your team back up before Furina's next burst. At C2 this probably doesn't matter, but at C0 I suspect it'll be quite hard to stack up her dmg bonus on the second rotation when your whole team is already down at 50% hp.
Anyway this is to say I do think she's insanely good but there is a tradeoff!
Yess!!! Finally someone pointed out her flaws and the restrictions she actually poses on the team who would be better off without running her in the team at all
Kokomi can walk on water with the duration of her ult
Futuna can walk on water with the duration of her skill which is indefinite
Kokomi is now unplayable
As a furina main
You really really should care about her healing mode cuz those 3 are the most bloodthirsty summons in genshin
1 sec you're fine then suddenly you see your hp drain and those 3 attacking an unopened chest
My guy, she just came out
But everyone will play her
Take a shot everytime Vars says "unconditoinally."
Meanwhile the conditions: huge er requirements, hp drain/gain, huge team wide sustainer/healer (preferably off field), lose of all stacks as soon as ur burst ends, so u have to build them up again.. I can just keep going... Furina is a great unit but not as amazing and "unconditional" as Vars hypes her up to be..
This video felt very rushed and not alot of research got into it for the first time. You showed Eula team but forgot diona was a bad choice there, Mika would work better there. Likewise, the Itto team looked scuffed and the hutao team was incredibly paper thin, removing xinqu from their your not only missing huge damage reduction but also interrupt resistance (this problem is expedited when you don't have c1 excess stamina to dodge out of atks). Also some team only had Benny as a solo healer. Surprised you didn't talk about other units like Mika, yaoyao, charlotte. Your opinion on kokomi is very highly, it should be noted that she is a good healer in furina teams WHEN she is a driver(felt like you don't talk about this imp point very much)
“Hydro is all about using health for damage since kokomi, neuvillette, yelan, and nilou use hp”
Ayato, Childe, Mona, hydro traveler, and xingqiu: *doesnt exist*
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I think you might be overlooking the healing factor in Furina's kit for one specific reason: she can still be used against opponents immune to hydro. That's the one annoying thing about Hydro (and every element, but it's particularly bad with this one). If you have a floor with hydro droplets, it makes every hydro character basically useless. However, in Furina's case, she pretty much says, "Well fuck. If I can't do damage, I'll just heal." And considering those things do a shit ton of damage in Spiral Abyss, it doesn't lower the effectiveness of her burst.
Doesn't change any other aspect of your breakdown, but I just wanted to add in that bit of tech that caught my attention.
Thats a huge dps loss. Its still more worth it to use the hp draining mode since you are going to be using her with a healer anyways to get more fanfare or not bring her into that floor at all
So you bring hydro characters in a floor that contains hydro-immune enemies? I think you have bigger problems to attend to. Mainly not try to handicap yourself and pretend its an unavoidable problem.
@@draixsama You say that like there aren't more floors that don't have hydro-immune enemies in the same set. Also, think about how many teams use Hydro-units, my dude. Vars literally praises it as the best element in the game. Even if you have three other units that aren't Hydro, it sucks having that one that can't do anything, but it vital to have in other floors
“Jean is the only on..”
Barbara: Let the Show begin.
bro is really gonna regret it if everyone stops playing her in a month
Wanna bet?
@@VarsII I'd like to clarify I mean stop playing because she's so good that you don't want to use her. But sure, idk what I'd bet but sure.
So she's basically a Luxury Yelan and not what like people are saying like "A must pull unit". She does better damage but attack slower hence a mediocre hydro application and can't be slotted easily to any team, While Yelan is someone you can slot in without downside of forcing you to add a certain unit, Has better hydro application that what's almost everyone wants from a hydro off-field unit and a dmg buff too that don't need you to add certain unit just to work efficiently.
No more like she makes Yelan a luxury unit. When you got Furina and Xingqiu, there's zero reason to pull for Yelan other than you just like her. Her slow hydro application also makes her better than Yelan and Xingqiu in Spread and Aggravate teams and she buffs those reactions.
@@loreyxillumina How is a unit a "luxury" when you can easily slot in her in any team unlike Furina. Plus you don't need a hydro in a spread and aggravate team lol. Maybe you mean Quickbloom which Yelan also works great and with Yelan you're not force to bring another unit just for her buff to work. Can also run as a single Hydro applicator in Vape & Hyperbloom teams unlike Furina which you can't since she apply hydro slower. Furina literally need +1 to work in her role how does she make Yelan a luxury unit LMAO. If you got Yelan and Xingqui you definitely don't need Furina. I don't mean she's not great it's just she doesn't really changes anything big in your account if you already have the two. She just makes you build new units that she needs and buffs dmg better but with slower hydro application. She's a great addition to your account but ain't a must like what people makes it if you got Yelan or XQ already, which is why a "Luxury" unit and this comes from someone who got her and not Yelan. She made me build two units just so I can use her in certain comps that I use.
@@S3tsuna1 So many wrong points,
1. Yelan doesn't work well with quick bloom.
2 You are not forced to bring a healer because most quickbloom teams already have a healer like Baizhu or Nahida with prototype amber; to support units like Cyno,Tighnari and Alhaitham who benefits healers and shielders with their long on field time.
3. Furina can work as a solo hydro applier (not applicator) in charge atk teams.
4. Furina deals more dmg than Yelan and Xingqiu has more hydro application than Yelan. Both doesn't need to rely on burst for hydro applications.
5. Your last point is the other way around since Yelan costs more to build than Furina. Furina is more cost effective since instead of farming emblem and then other domains for dps, you can just farm one domain and build both dps and support at the same time. Since Furina enables marechausee hunter set on all dps.
There's also the discussion of weapons, Yelan needs either Fav or sac to get her burst consistently, both of which are gacha exclusive. While you can get Furina's weapon just from fishing.
@@loreyxillumina
1. She works well in quickblooms cause her hydro application ain't as consistent as Xingqui. XQ is the best in hydro application since the rainswords from his E that surrounds you applies hydro too so his super consistent Hydro application ain't ideal in Quickblooms, While Yelan's alright for both Quickbloom or Vape teams. For Furina she's just very inconsistent with her summonlings that each have different attackspeeds.
2. Baizhu is a limited character not everyone has him lol thus makes Furina a Luxury unit too. Plus you literally run Shinobu in quickblooms a healer but since she ain't enough to efficiently maximize Furina's buff that's why people use proto amber on Nahida. This is why Furina is so good in quickblooms since most people is using Shinobu afterall.
3. Applicator and applier is just the same LMAO
4. Yelan easy to slot in, can group light enemies and a better hydro applicator than Furina. Buff dmg and can group light enemies which XQ cant.
5. Tho I agree that this is efficient farming but Yelan dont need emblem to work you can just use 2pc mix. With Yelan you don't need to build new units for her just to work that will also cause resources and resins.
6. Fav is a free weapon lil bro LMAO.
@@S3tsuna1Furinas summons last 30s and don’t need Normal attacks to apply hydro or er which opens many more teams than yelan and she has big buffs for the whole team so adding one healer doesn’t hurt she more than makes up for it. The only characters that somewhat prefer yelan is hu Tao or arlecchino. Most teams in the game want a healer anyway so your complaining about an issue that doesn’t exist for majority
Broooo
She just came out
No even owns her yet 😂
I feel it is way premature to say Furina is the best character in the game, or even the best Hydro character. This is primarly because Furina is relatively weaker in Dendro teams (her bonus damage from her burst does not apply to the cores since they are transformative reactions and her party self damage makes surving core explosions harder).
However she is probaly a top 5 unit even at C0. We have to probably wait for things to settle down and more Fontaine units to come out before making a final determination.
If she is this strong, then how come this isn't being discussed as a terrible thing?
Probably because she has the archon pass lol
@@VarsVerum
She's as Archon as Hat Guy...☠️
Because it's so conditional. Unless you have her at C2. Even then you really want a full team healer. Using single target healer doesn't work as well. If she buffed just as much without needed a healer she'd be far too broken of a character. Her being tied to a healer to maximize her Buff is what makes her balanced.
The mad man actually did it.
Lol Furina had a lot of people to surpass and genshin was ust like f this we gonna give her amazing dmg, good off field hydro application, dmg boosts and healing. shes literally xinque, yelan and kokomi combined inot 1 broken AF character. ALL THIS AT C0 TO. ive always been someone who supprts archons being strongest of their elements but this is just ridiculous.
Yes! And the best part is that rather than powercreeping, she also can synergize and be used to boost them with her buff (the rise of mono hydro is amazing lol) 😭
Best part about her, she throws out every single meta core in the game out of the window and makes your mediocre damage dealer into gigachad. Bennet kazuha for raiden hyper no go Furina jean. Morgana ? No replace Mona and kazuha for Furina and jean, you lose cc but that doesn't matter if they are all dead.
Hutao you already explained. She single handedly Finnally after 3 years of genshin being out made the 5 godly 4 stars not necessary for meta. I love Furina and nothing is better than having such utility on an archon also funny how in 4.4 cloud retainer is supposed to be released who is a anemo unit, imagine she is a healer and a cc.
It’s ok to live in your own delusion, but drag others into it
She basically only fits into 4 teams that actually end up performing well
Let's remember a very important thing about Furina. For her to have a useful burst needs to use a healer, specially a party wide one. That is most of the time something that hurts DPS. She is great, but with kaviats
I think this is probably the first time we’ve gotten a balanced character thats pretty good
Jean is not the only teamwide party healer. Have we forgotten about Baizhu, as well as Charlotte? They're literally running right now alongside her. Plus Mika, Barbara, Sayu, as well as some on field healers like Barbara, Kokomi, Qiqi, Yaoyao, heck, even NOELLE. So yeah, don't worry, Furina HAS options other than Jean...
I dont think she power creeps in that she is a replacement for anyone. She is more like a ShenHe for Healers, but also really buffs almost any team at the same time. She is just the first character that might be better then BENNY
The only problem I see is that in many teams benny acts as the buffer and healer himself so if you switch him for Furina you maybe will need to re-work the team and switch some charcters
@@nadaaqui7407u can just use benny on ur second team during abyss
Jean was my first 5 star and my main for the first few months, then she was my healer support, and then i stopped using her for good. I will GLADLY use Jean Again!!! Long live the Hydro Archon, long live Furina!!!
she just came out literally no one is using her rn
Correction in the video: Her DMG bonus isnt elemental DMG bonus its additive damage bonus. Additive damage bonus comes at the beggining (BaseDMG * BaseDMGMultiplier) + Additive Damage Bonus (75% c0 max fanfare) ; elemental damage bonus is the one after it * (DMGbonus - DMG reduction of the target) Whether is better or worse than elemental damage depends on what/who ur using it. Nevertheless huge damage increase but there is still a difference!
I don’t think I ever said elemental damage bonus :o
Oh never mind I see what you’re getting at. Thanks for the clarification!
Vars, I love your vids, but making a video on why "everyone" Plays Furina when the char literally just dropped for a few minutes is stretching it
Only early birds would remember when this video was called "Why Everyone Will Play Furina"
7:30 You actually do need to worry about snapshotting, but in the reverse direction. If you use a snapshottable move before Furina gets her stacks, the attack will still behave without Furina's buff.
EDIT: Seems Furina Fanfare is special and does affect moves even after they've been snapshotted.
the uno reverse on snapshot people, lol
from what i've seen, this is just false? characters like fischl can take full effect of fanfare stacks even when the skill was cast before furina's burst iirc, esp since yelan's buff doesn't get snapshot either
No it doesn't lol. Even a "snapshotable" ability can take some dynamic buff. Her buff is dynamic just like raiden and yelan buff
