Furina changes so much when it comes to building a team comp & choosing artifacts (and sometimes weapons) on all of your characters. Here's Why...

BONUS: I also wanted to mention that in contrast to Furina making you squishier, Xingqiu gives you a lot of defensive utility (healing & dmg reduction) which makes him a very comfy option to be ran alongside her, or in a different team. Note that when comparing Furina and Xingqiu, keep in mind that one needs a lot of healing, while the other helps you with defensive utility. Xingqiu, Yelan, and Furina are ALL amazing, in case you're wondering :D

AINTNOWAY Bro is trying to justify his addiction to vermillion 💀

[Bat]

We SERIOUSLY need the ability to create and save hot swappable artifact sets in Genshin, it's sort of wild that this hasn't been done yet, it would make utilizing multiple sets for characters easier, and would make switching between characters so much smoother.

[Kanemoto]

I loved when Furina used her burst, allowing everyone else to gain the atk bonus from vermillion and the characters said "It's Vermillion time" and vermillioned all over the enemies. Truly a character of all time

[LookGently]

Such a calm and collected youtuber. Feels like someone who won't waste resin farming vermillion..

[kacchan]

Dusted off old healers like Jean and Qiqi, makes the Marechausse Hunter set universal for all dps that scales crit and allow the use of a mainstat goblet (hp% or atk%) instead of the classic elemental damage goblet. If this character isn't game changing, no one is

[tintedplot]

the biggest strength I found in Furina is her flexibility, not in terms of teams but in how now it becomes easier to play hyper carries of similar supports in abyss at the same time

[weeepweeep]

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Furina. I try to play Ayato. My Furina deals more damage. I try to play Mona, Mademoiselle Crabaletta deals more damage. I try to play Cyno my Furina deals more damage. I want to play Yelan Her best team has Furina. I want to play Neuvillette, Jean - they both want Furina. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I bake for her. I give her the Fleuve Pipé. She isn't satisfied. I pull Jade cutter. "I don't need this much crit rate" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Charlotte and forces her to throw herself off enemies. "You just need to give me more fanfare stacks. I can deal more damage with Splendor and C4." I can't pull for Splendor or cons, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the prophecized end." She grabs Superintendente Chevalmarine. She says "It's Salon'in time, salon all over them." There is no hint of hydro in her eyes. Nothing but pure, off field hydro damage. What a cruel world

[alitrias]

Oh my god Zyox. Not only did I know that you were already normal, normal, normal, normal, normal, and just... normal overall, that you made this guide, but now, I really can see... you being normal for once, when every other time you've been normal

[xdrustyy]

Furina really deserves the best and I’m happy that she is so meta defining, we really do need to make sure to shower her with lots of praise and hugs

[vfighter]

Since Furina is the paragone of human virtue without equal past or present, she is most resplendent in love, tributes and accolades. Waking or sleeping, I must not forget Furina's great boon and in order to return her favour by day and by night, I should only think of fulfilling my loyalty.

Who is Furina?

For the blind, she is their vision. For the deaf, she is their music. For the mute, she is their voice. For the anosmiac, she is their aroma. For the numb, she is their feeling. For the atrophied, she is their muscle.

For the starved, she is their sustenance. For the thirsty, she is their water. For the exhausted, she is their energy.

For the depressed, she is their happiness. For the disillusioned, she is their hope. For the pessimistic, she is their optimism.

For the disadvantaged, she is their champion. For the marginalised, she is their justice. For the oppressed, she is their salvation.

For the righteous, she is their symbol. For the enlightened, she is their muse. For the erudite, she is their education.

If Furina speaks, I listen. If Furina questions, I answer. If Furina orders, I obey.

If Furina opines, I agree. If Furina fears, I assure. If Furina hopes, I dream.

If Furina is happy, I am jubilant. If Furina is angry, I am apoplectic. If Furina is sad, I am disconsolate.

Furina is my ideal, Furina is my romance, Furina is my passion.

Furina is my strength, Furina is my compass, Furina is my destination.

Furina is my language, Furina is my culture, Furina is my religion.

Furina is my ocean, Furina is my mountain, Furina is my sky, Furina is my air, Furina is my sun, Furina is my moon, Furina is my world.

Furina is history, Furina is present, Furina is future.

If Furina has a million fans, I am one of them. If Furina has a thousand fans, I am one of them. If Furina has a hundred fans, I am one of them. If Furina has ten fans, I am one of them. If Furina has only one fan, that is me. If Furina has no fans, I no longer exist.

If the whole universe is for Furina, then I am for the whole universe. If the whole universe is against Furina, then I am against the whole universe.

I will love, cherish, and protect Furina until my very last breath; my successors will love, cherish and protect Furina until their very last breath.

What I like about Furina is she didn't make many good characters better but instead pulled out the dead healers from the grave and made them a competitive option. True Justice indeed. 🎉

[TekkatV]

I honestly am so happy with how Furina made so many units viable now. Mika went from zero to hero and Noelle revived from the grave lol.

Marechaussee Klee with XQ Furina Jean is an insane team as well.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of exploration, Furina is the most compatible character for Fontaine? Not only she can apply Arkhe of your choice on a low cooldown for puzzles but she can also walk on water indefinitely. Furina is also of the medium female model, this means she’s large enough to be able handle walking and swimming at a decent speed, and with her impressive Base Stats for HP and access to healing, you can tank some hits with her. Due to her water based Salon Solitaire, there’s no doubt in my mind that Furina would be incredibly good at applying wet, so wet that you could easily have elemental reaction for hours without getting blocked by energy needs. She can also learn the talent The Sea Is My Stage, so it’d be incredibly easy to get you in the mood for diving. With her summoned Singer of Many Waters, she can easily recover from fatigue with enough time. No other character comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you use charge attack, you can make your Furina's clothes turn white. Furina is literally built for Fontaine exploration. Ungodly abilities+high HP pool+exploration talents means it can take overworld combat all day, all terrains and puzzles and still go for more.

Hey Zy0x, today is my first anniversary watching your streams.
I must say you are one of the best knowledgeable and effortlessly hilarious individual I have ever seen (unironically). It has been a pleasure to be a part of your amazing community. You have sort of been my lucky charm all year. Your streams were the only thing that made me excited to watch and play genshin and star rail. I wish you amazing success and much love for the coming future. I hope you continue streaming and never get bailu again.
Xoxo

P. S. Are you planning to make a HuoHuo guide? Om

[MtchndraLrd]

I’ve always been into healer impact as a kokomi fan so seeing the emphasis on healers in the meta instead of just have zhongli shield again is so nice

[Asteroux]

Speaking of healers, with the advent of Furina and her HP manipulation-related buff, I wonder if they'll release more healers onward with team healing. It would be interesting to see an off-field Geo or Electro team-wide healer, though...

[Dingle.Donger]

I am finally playing Jean again. She's my first 5 star and it's so nice to see her on my team again after 3 years.

[alvin]

She is definitely a game changer...Even some characters that are rarely used suddenly become Great

[eff-fume]

Crazy how my benched Jean is now my fav flexible healer now and use her everywhere. I love when they do this. You can see the clear Benefit in a char like Jean, Baizhu and others now over others in these comps, and even tho these chars are not new at all, it gives them an entirely new and fresh feeling. Love it.
