Base Stats

Faruzan is a 4-star Anemo character that wields a Bow in Genshin Impact. She is an off-field Anemo character who can provide support by providing damage buffs. Lore-wise, Faruzan is a Haravatat scholar, who is highly knowledgeable with machines and ancient language.

Faruzan's Tier & Rating

What Kind of Character is Faruzan?

In battle, Faruzan is a 4-Star Anemo Off-field Support for Anemo DPSes She can shred Anemo RES with her Burst or Charged Attack (through her passive), and increases her teammates' Anemo DMG Bonus after using her Burst. After using her Skill, her Charged Attacks become Hurricane Arrows that trigger a suction effect after hitting an enemy or area, while also generating Energy.

Faruzan is a core piece of most Anemo DPS teams due to her buffs. Her best team is now Stellar Swirl with Vesna and Odette, where her C6 CRIT DMG buff applies to the Anemo side of Vesna's Stellar Swirl DMG. She is niche, but fills her designated role in a team very well.

Roles & Playstyle Of Faruzan and Her Strengths and Weaknesses

Anemo Buffer for Anemo DPSes

Faruzan is the uncontested best support for On-Field Anemo DPSes who deal a majority of their damage as Anemo, such as Wanderer, Xiao and Venti after finishing his Witch's Homework. She also supports Vesna in Stellar Swirl teams. Her buffs help these DPSes reach their full potential, with her C6 being especially impactful in her best teams.

Pros and Cons of Support Faruzan

Best Build for Faruzan

Faruzan will always want as much Energy Recharge as possible across all of her teams. See below for recommendations:

Weapon	Elegy for the End └ Favonius Warbow is the best F2P option, and Breezeborne Refrain is best in Stellar Swirl teams.
Best Artifact	Tenacity of the Millelith (C6) └ Noblesse Oblige at C5 or lower, or Viridescent Venerer in PECH teams like Stellar Swirl.
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: Energy Recharge (ER) Goblet: Anemo DMG% or ATK% Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Priority Sub-Stat	Energy Recharge > CRIT Rate or DMG > ATK%
Recommended Team

Stat Goals For Off-Field Support Faruzan

Always look to prioritize Faruzan's Energy Recharge as a stat, even if you have to resort a mix of 2-piece sets. This is because, at the end of the day, her utility as a Buffer is tied entirely to her Elemental Burst, and her usability drops if you can't trigger her Burst consistently.

Best Weapon for Faruzan

Faruzan will prefer to have a weapon that can help her easily meet her high Energy requirements. See below for the recommendations:

Premium Weapons for Off-Field Support Faruzan

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Elegy for the End	Get from Limited Banner - Her best support weapon. Its ER secondary stat helps her meet her high Energy requirements. - Its passive gives the whole party an EM and ATK% buff when her Skill or Burst hits enemies. - Works best if you can use her Burst every rotation comfortably, which is easier at C6.
2nd	Breezeborne Refrain	Get from Limited Banner - Her best weapon in Stellar Swirl teams. Its passive grants the party a 24% Stellar Glimmer Reaction DMG buff after her Skill or Burst hits enemies 3 times, even while she is off-field. - Also gives 20% Energy Recharge, but its CRIT Rate secondary stat doesn't help her Energy, so it's better at higher refinements.
3rd	Favonius Warbow	Get from Banners - A great Energy-based weapon thanks to its Energy Recharge secondary stat and its passive providing Energy after the equipping character hits a CRIT. - CRIT Rate Circlet and some CRIT Rate sub-stats are recommended in order to reliably trigger the passive. - Best at R5.

Most Off-Field Supports with high Energy requirements will prefer weapons Energy Recharge as a secondary stat. All the Favonius weapons are typically going to be the best in this category, and will often even beat premium options with more buffing power.

Free To Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Off-Field Support Faruzan

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P	Favonius Warbow	Complete Archon Quest Prologue 3 Quest - You can get 1 free copy of the Favonius Warbow after completing the quest titled 'A Long Shot' in the Archon Quest Prologue. - The best Energy-based weapon thanks to its Energy Recharge Secondary stat and its passive providing Energy after the equipping character hits a CRIT. - CRIT Rate Circlet and some CRIT Rate sub-stats are recommended in order to reliably trigger the passive.
2nd	Rainbow Serpent's Rain Bow	Reward From Past Event - High Energy Recharge secondary stat helps her charge her Burst. - Its passive raises her ATK after her attacks hit enemies while she is off-field, which only works well with C6 Faruzan.
3rd	End of the Line	Get from Fishing - ER secondary stat again can help Faruzan get her Elemental Burst charged up every rotation. - The passive isn't useful for Faruzan, so this weapon is simply a stat-stick until you manage to get something better.
4th	Fading Twilight	Reward From Past Event (Perilous Trail) - Secondary stat is ER, so it's good enough for Faruzan if you happen to have it. - It's passive is more DMG oriented, which Faruzan will typically not have much of. - Like the End of the Line, this weapon should be treated as a temporary choice until you can secure a better weapon for Faruzan. - No longer obtainable if you didn't participate in the event.

For Free-to-Play options, the free copy of Favonius Warbow is still the preferred option over other weapons, simply due to the extra Energy you get from it's passive. Even at R1, the value you get from the weapon is going to feel better on Energy-hungry Supports like Faruzan.

Faruzan Best Artifacts

Faruzan's Artifacts depend on how many of her Constellations you've unlocked and which team she's in. See the recommendations below:

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Tenacity of the Millelith	★★★★★ - Assuming you have her C6, giving Faruzan this set adds another layer of utility to her kit by letting her buff the party's ATK. - Set doesn't help with Energy, so pre-C6 Faruzan will favor a different set. - All the On-Field Anemo DPSes scale with ATK, so you don't need to switch off of this set if you happen to use multiple Anemo DPSes.
Noblesse Oblige	★★★★★ - The most stable choice for C5 or lower Faruzan, since Tenacity isn't reliable without her C6. - Gives the party an ATK buff when she uses her Burst. Make sure she still has enough Energy Recharge from her other stats.
Viridescent Venerer	★★★★★ - Use this set in PECH teams (teams that deal Pyro, Electro, Cryo, or Hydro DMG), such as Stellar Swirl, since its RES Shred boosts the Element Faruzan Swirls. - Also good when you want to boost Off-Field damage dealers like Odette. - It doesn't help Anemo DPS characters, so use another set in Anemo DPS teams.
Emblem of Severed Fate	★★★・・ - The Energy Recharge 2-piece effect makes it easier to reach her ER goals. - Its 4-piece effect boosts Burst DMG, but the 2-piece is enough on its own. Pair it with any pieces that have high Energy Recharge rolls.

Recommended Artifact Stats

	Main: Flat HP Sub: CRIT Rate / Energy Recharge%
	Main: Flat ATK Sub: CRIT Rate / Energy Recharge%
	Main: Energy Recharge% Sub: CRIT Rate
	Main: Anemo DMG% or ATK% Sub: CRIT Rate / Energy Recharge%
	Main: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Sub: CRIT Rate / Energy Recharge%

Energy Recharge Is Her Most Important Stat

Faruzan's buffing power is limited to her Burst as previously stated. It's important for her teams to get her to use her Burst every rotation, so prioritize getting her ER stat to its required threshold over anything else, even if you need to sacrifice set bonuses for it. Aim for 230%+ Energy Recharge at C5 or lower, or 200%+ at C6.

Best Team Comp Faruzan

Stellar Swirl Faruzan Team

Support	DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Faruzan	Vesna	Odette	Vodyanitsa
Details
- Faruzan's C6 CRIT DMG buff applies to the Anemo side of Vesna's Stellar Swirl DMG. - Faruzan and Vodyanitsa together shred a large amount of Anemo RES, and Faruzan's Breezeborne Refrain raises Stellar Glimmer DMG for the whole party. - Odette supplies the Cryo for the Stellar Swirls, while Vodyanitsa heals the team.

This team assumes C6 Faruzan. Below C6, her buff doesn't add enough to Stellar Swirl, so use Cryo Traveler in her slot instead.

Other Team Comps For Faruzan

Anemo DPS Support Team

Team		Detail
Faruzan	Venti	- Faruzan's Anemo DMG buff and Anemo RES Shred boost an Anemo DPS like Venti, Xiao, or Wanderer. - Durin shreds Anemo RES in his White Flame form, while Nicole buffs the party and shields the Anemo DPS. - Durin and Nicole are Hexerei characters, so Hexerei: Secret Rite stays active with any Anemo DPS.
Durin	Nicole

Varka Team

Team		Detail
Varka	Faruzan	- Faruzan fills the second Anemo slot Varka needs and buffs his Anemo hits. - Varka's second claymore deals Pyro DMG in this team, which Faruzan's buffs don't affect, so Prune and Venti are stronger picks for him. - Varka, Durin, and Nicole are all Hexerei characters, so Hexerei: Secret Rite stays active.
Durin	Nicole

Team Rotation of Faruzan and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for Off-Field Support Faruzan

When forming a rotation, you typically want to deploy the supports with longer ability durations before the shorter ones. Most of the time Faruzan will be the very first one to execute her combo or near the middle, just before the support with the shortest duration. This is especially true if you have her C2, which increases her Burst's duration.

Basics Of Using Faruzan

Faruzan is the dedicated Off-Field Anemo Support of most typical On-Field Anemo DPSes She lowers the enemy's Anemo resistance while also increasing the Anemo DMG Bonus of all party members using her Elemental Burst, greatly enhancing her party members' damage potential.

Apply Buffs Using Burst

Most of Faruzan's innate buffs, which are Anemo RES shred and additional Anemo DMG bonus, are applied once she activates her Elemental Burst. She needs 80 Energy to deploy her Burst, which is considered pretty high for an Off-Field Support. Because of this, Faruzan naturally wants a lot of Energy Recharge (ER) so she can continuously use her Burst without downtime.

Gain Energy Through Skill and Charged Attack

Faruzan can gain Energy by using her Skill and by hitting a Charged Attack while in her Manifest Gale state. Since her Charged Attack, which is an important part of her comb, can often miss, her gameplay can feel a little clunky and time-consuming.

Equipping her with an Energy weapon, having a lot of ER on her artifacts, pairing her with two Anemo teammates or having Faruzan's C6 all help to mitigate the issue with the high Energy cost for her Elemental Burst.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Faruzan

How To Use Faruzan's Skills & Passives

Core Anemo Support for Anemo DPS

Faruzan wants to use at least 1 Charged Attack every rotation to reliably get enough Energy to use her Burst every rotation. Her gameplay loop is extremely simple otherwise.

Elemental Skill Activates Manifest Gale State

Icon

Elemental Skill Summary

Wind Realm of Nasamjnin

- Faruzan deploys a polyhedron, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and entering Manifest Gale state. - In Manifest Gale, her next fully charged shot becomes a Hurricane Arrow, consuming the state and dealing Anemo DMG based on a fully charged Parthian Shot. Pressurized Collapse: - Hurricane Arrow applies Pressurized Collapse, which detonates after a short delay into a vortex. - The vortex deals AoE Anemo DMG and pulls in nearby enemies and objects. - If no target is hit, the effect triggers at the arrow’s impact point. - Vortex DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.

Faruzan enters Manifest Gale state after activating her Skill. This gives her Charged Attacks a suction effect after it collides with an enemy or surface, which is called Pressurized Collapse. The Pressurized Collapse is the focal point of one of her passives and some of her Constellations as well.

Elemental Burst Shreds Res and Buffs Party

Icon	Elemental Burst Summary
The Wind's Secret Ways	- Faruzan deploys a Dazzling Polyhedron, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and releasing a Whirlwind Pulse. - While active, the Polyhedron moves along a triangular path, unleashing an additional Whirlwind Pulse at each corner. Whirlwind Pulse Effects: - Applies Perfidious Wind’s Bale, reducing enemies’ Anemo RES. - Grants nearby party members Prayerful Wind’s Benefit, increasing Anemo DMG Bonus.

Faruzan's Elemental Burst is where she applies the Anemo RES shred and Anemo DMG bonus for her teammates, so she needs to be built around it. This ability has an 80 Energy cost, so her ideal Energy Recharge stat is naturally higher than other supports, so its best to focus getting artifacts pieces that can meet these requirements.

Passives Increase Her Utility

Icon	Passive Summary
Impetuous Flow	- While in Manifest Gale (from Skill), Faruzan’s charged shot charge time is reduced by 60%. - Opponents hit by the Pressurized Collapse vortex will also be affected by Perfidious Wind’s Bale (Anemo RES shred).
Lost Wisdom of the Seven Caverns	- When characters affected by Prayerful Wind’s Benefit (Anemo DMG Bonus buff) deal Anemo DMG (via Normal, Charged, Plunging Attacks, Skills, or Bursts), they trigger Hurricane Guard. - Hurricane Guard increases that DMG based on 32% of Faruzan’s Base ATK. Can trigger once every 0.8s. - The DMG Bonus is removed after it triggers once or when Prayerful Wind’s Benefit expires.

Her passives help enhance her usability as a support. The first passive makes using her enhanced Charged Attack after using her Skill faster and more rewarding, since it applies her Anemo RES shred. The second passive provides a small DMG bonus whenever any party member deals damage.

Best Paired With Anemo DPSes

Anemo DPSes that can use Faruzan
Wanderer	Xiao	Venti	Heizou

Faruzan's best niche is being a dedicated buffer for Anemo DPSes whose DPS is primarily Anemo DMG. Because of this, she has limited use-cases, but she also has no real competition as a result. Most of the above DPSes greatly appreciate Faruzan in their teams if they want to maximize their damage potential, especially if you have her C6.

Constellations Help Lower Energy Requirements

Icon	Constellation Summary
Overzealous Intellect	The duration of the Dazzling Polyhedron created by The Wind's Secret Ways is increased by 6s.
Divine Comprehension	- Pressurized Collapse vortex restores Energy to Faruzan based on enemies hit. - Hitting 1 opponent restores 2 Energy. Each additional opponent hit restores 0.5 additional Energy. - Can restore up to 4 Energy per vortex.
The Wondrous Path of Truth	- Characters affected by Prayerful Wind’s Benefit (Anemo DMG Bonus buff) gain additional 40% CRIT DMG when dealing Anemo DMG. - When the active character deals DMG while affected, they apply Pressurized Collapse to the target. - This effect can trigger once every 3s and the cooldown is shared across the party.

The value provided by her Constellations ranges from easing her Energy Requirements, increasing her Burst duration, as well as provide a CRIT DMG buff to her party members that deal Anemo DMG, after using her Burst.

While C0 Faruzan is usable, C6 Faruzan is a significant boost for your Anemo DPS, so it's best to try and aim to get as much Faruzan Constellations as possible, with the goal being to get her to C6.

Should You Pull for Faruzan's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Clunky to use When Below C6

Faruzan is a top-class character at C6. However, below it you may face Energy issues and clunkiness when setting up her Anemo buffs. We recommend C2 first, since it extends her Burst by 6s, and C6 as the ideal goal. C6 gives Anemo DMG a 40% CRIT DMG buff, which is also what makes her strong in Stellar Swirl teams.

Who Is Faruzan?

A Century-Old Scholar of the Haravatat

Faruzan was one of the Akademiya's most outstanding scholars a hundred years ago, and one of the founders of the Akademiya's department of classical mechanisms. Although she belongs to the Haravatat, she became famous across Sumeru for her deep knowledge of mechanisms. However, her achievements were forgotten by time before she was.

She knows ancient languages and old mechanisms well, and she is always looking for students, though she rarely manages to get any.

Voicelines About Faruzan

Voicelines About Faruzan
Tighnari	Madam Faruzan possesses an extensive wealth of knowledge. I often invite her to inspect the mechanisms in the rainforest. The next time she's in Gandharva Ville... *sigh* I hope she doesn't sneak Collei more food. Nutrition is like medicine: moderation is key.
Collei	Um... To be honest, I don't really know how to handle people like Madam Faruzan... She's always saying that I'm a hardworking student and eager to learn, but that's because I have to be! I'm a slow learner, so I have to put in the extra effort. Oh, there was a time when I accidentally saw her research journal — only for a second, though. It was all written in old script, and I couldn't even make out half of it... Definitely the scariest book in Teyvat!
Cyno	I've carefully browsed through the case files regarding Faruzan's disappearance. At the time, I thought maybe she had been conducting some kind of dangerous research, but once I met her in person, I completely abandoned that idea. Though it might be a little hard for me to get along with her, she mostly reminds me of a kindly and chatty parent. She is considerate of others, and would never do anything imprudent.
Layla	Has Professor Faruzan managed to get any students? People from the Haravatat Darshan say that she always has difficulty getting funding for her projects, so it's hard for her to attract students, too. sigh...
Kaveh	Madam Faruzan doesn't mince her words, so I can understand why some students at the Akademiya are afraid of her. She doesn't have any bad intentions, though — all she wants is to devote herself completely to the research that interests her. Some people say that all Haravatat scholars are hard to get along with, and uh... heh, I'll let you be the judge of that. I assume she's already asked you to be her student? She sure is a little intense when she's doing the hard sell, huh... But she can walk the walk too. She really does know her stuff.
Sethos	It's so rare to meet someone even more chummy than me! One minute I was taking a stroll near the Akademiya, the next minute she'd taken me on as a student, and was insisting on giving me a tour. She gave me a real fright, though, because she said that if I joined Haravatat, I'd get the 20-tongues language-learning package, mastery of all 100% guaranteed... I asked around, and it seems like that's just an in-joke among Akademiya students — there is no 20-language graduation requirement after all. But I don't get it... how is that funny? It's only gonna put people off studying there.
