by Today we are going to analyze Faruzán , a four-star character from the Sumeru region in Genshin Impact who stands out for being a tremendous support for the characters belonging to the Anemo Element.
It is a character that provides impressive support: it lowers the Anemo Resistance of enemies, it can create attractive vortexes, it provides Anemo Elemental Bonuses for teammates, it has a small buff from its base attack and with its last Constellation it even provides Damage Critical.
The downside, as always, is that it is a character that will exclusively serve to empower Elemento Anemo characters, as is evident, it follows a bit the line of Gorou with the Geo characters or Sara’s with the Electro characters (plus they all increase Critical Damage , but only with C6). Although I think he is a pretty good character within his field, Supports as versatile as Bennett or Kazuha are missed .
FARUZAN’S STATS
Faruzán ‘s statistics are mediocre and are practically identical to those of Kujou Sara, here we can see the statistics that our Faruzán will have when he promotes it to level 90:
- Base Life: 9,570.
- Base Attack: 196.
- Base Defense: 627.
- Attack Bonus %: 24%.
She really doesn’t stand out in any area and is quite similar to other 4-star archers, although I find it a bit worrying that even Amber or Diona have more Base Attack than her.
By ascending her we will gain Attack% , even in the statistic that she gains through ascension she coincides again with Kujou Sara.
TALENTS OR SKILLS
Let’s see their talents or abilities.
NORMAL ATTACK: CHILDBIRTH SHOT
Pretty much the same as always, only the Normal Attack combo is a little shorter and his Charged Attack will have additional effects after using his Elemental Ability.
- Normal Attack : A combo of 4 quick hits with the bow that deal physical damage.
- Charged Attack : We will launch an arrow imbued with Anemo.
- Descending Attack : We will hit the ground causing quite high physical damage.
ELEMENTAL SKILL: WINDY SKY OF THE NASAMJÑIN
- TdE: 6 s.
- Incarnation of the Gale Duration: 18 sec.
- Skill Damage: 267.84% (level 10).
- Storm Takedown Vortex Damage: 194.4% (level 10).
When using this Elemental Skill, Faruzán will make a quick blow that will generate Anemo Damage in an area and will enter the state « Incarnation of the Gale » , this will allow us to execute a Charged Attack that upon impact will consume this effect to create a vortex that will attract enemies and will generate Anemo Damage, this vortex in turn is considered an effect called « Storm Takedown » .
Basically this Elemental Ability works like Kujou Sara ‘s (who also needs a Charged Attack after her elemental to activate her Tengu Curses), we first execute the elemental and perform a Charged Attack quickly so that the effect is consumed and a vortex is generated; Even if we miss the shot and hit the ground, the attractive vortex will be activated in the same way.
ULTI: PATH OF ASCENT
- Energy Cost: 80.
- TdE: 20 s.
- Duration: 12 sec.
- Skill Damage: 679.68% (level 10).
- Anemo Resistance Reduction: 30%.
- Traitorwind Curse duration: 4 sec.
- Anemo Damage Bonus: 32.4% (level 10).
- Sacredwind Blessing Duration: 4 sec.
With this Ultimate Ability Faruzán will create a polyhedron that will move autonomously across the battlefield releasing waves that will generate Anemo Damage; Hitting enemies with these waves will activate the ” Traitorwind Curse ” which will lower their Anemo Resistance by 30% and releasing the wave if we are close to it will activate the ” Sacral Wind Blessing ” which will grant us an Anemo Damage Bonus .
The truth is that this ult is tremendous since it gives us everything: passive damage, a fixed Anemo Resistance reduction of 30% (it will always be this amount regardless of the level the talent is at) and a quite Anemo Damage Bonus. decent.
But it’s not all good, as his Elemental Energy cost is too high and we have to make sure we always have his Ulti in order for Faruzan to be profitable. Other negative points are the short duration of this Elemental Skill (but it can be fixed with Constellations) and the short time that the Elemental Resistance drop and the Anemo Damage Bonus last, although these are reset every time the polyhedron releases energy.
PASSIVE 1 – IMPETUOUS BURST
When Faruzán executes his Elemental Skill it will reduce the charge time of his next Precise Shot by 60%, by generating the vortex with this Precise Shot we will activate the Ulti curse that lowers the Anemo Resistance of the enemies by 30% .
It will be useful to speed up the process of creating the elemental’s attracting vortex, but the drop in Anemo Resistance will be very brief and we will hardly be able to take advantage of it.
PASSIVE 2: WISDOM OF THE PAST
When a character is still under the effects of Faruzan’s Elemental Ability (which lasts 18 seconds) and deals Anemo Damage with a Normal, Charged or Descending Attack, they will receive increased damage proportional to 32% of Faruzan’s Base Attack.
This passive is not very interesting, since this buff will only apply to a single hit and it is not a spectacular damage increase either.
PASSIVE 3: DAZZLING KNOWLEDGE
Increases rewards received from 20-hour expeditions in Sumeru by 25%.
This talent is the same one that Yelan has (only that she applies it in Liyue), we will obtain somewhat more abundant rewards instead of reducing the time it takes for expeditions as Bennett and Fischl do .
CONSTELLATIONS
These are the benefits that Faruzán is obtaining through his Constellations:
- C1 – Truth Quest : After using his Elemental Ability, Faruzán can now shoot two hurricane arrows instead of one with his Precise Shot (wow, that allows us to create the vortex twice).
- C2 – Wisdom Report : Increases the duration of the Ulti polyhedron by 6 seconds.
- C3 – Tranquility in the Garden : Increases Elemental Skill by 3 levels, can be increased up to 15 levels.
- C4 – Divine Understanding : When we generate a vortex when performing a Precise Shot after using the Elemental Skill, Faruzán will regenerate 2 Elemental Energy points when hitting an enemy and an additional 0.5 for each additional enemy hit (we can only recover 4 points of Elemental Energy in this way for each vortex generated).
- C5 – Plane of Reflection : Increases Ultimate Ability by 3 levels, can be increased up to 15 levels.
- C6 – Essence of Truth : When a character receives the Anemo Damage Bonus from Faruzán’s Ulti, he hits an enemy causing Anemo Damage, he also receives a 40% bonus to Critical Damage and additionally an attractive vortex will be created like that of his Elemental Skill; this effect can be activated every 3 seconds and its TOE is shared with all party members.
Faruzan’s Constellations are pretty good in general but I definitely have to highlight C2, since it’s very important that his ult duration be extended so that he can give decent support to characters that take up a lot of field time and obviously his C6 It is wild since it not only gives us Critical Damage, but also creates additional attractive vortices that the enemies will bring us together.
BEST BUILD FOR FARUZAN (SUPPORT DPS)
Faruzán is a character that stands out for giving very good support to the Anemo characters through Anemo Damage Bonuses and drops to the same element for the enemies; he also has some potential to control enemies but is much inferior in this regard to characters like Venti or Kazuha (although his enemy pull is greatly improved on his C6).
Therefore, we are going to build it looking for the most efficient way to support the Anemo characters that accompany it and so that it can provide some kind of bonus to the group.
BEST WEAPONS FOR FARUZAN
These are some bow options that we recommend for Faruzán:
- Elegy of the End ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Provides a fairly high amount of Energy Recharge and with the passive we can activate effects that will increase the Attack and Elemental Mastery of the group.
- Heavenly Wings ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Provides a good balance between Critical Chance and Critical Damage that will allow us to increase the damage of Faruzán’s abilities and also has a very high Base Attack that we can take advantage of for the small buff that she can give with his passive.
- Favonius Bow ⭐⭐⭐⭐: It will be one of your best options since it is the bow that gives you the highest Energy Recharge, we can also recharge the group’s ultis more efficiently thanks to the passive of this weapon.
- Last Chord ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐: We will be interested in this bow in the event that we have it in a fairly high refinement, since what we are mainly interested in is the increase in damage to the Elemental Ability and the Ultimate Ability that the passive of this provides bow.
- Fading of Twilight ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐: Another weapon that gives us a large amount of Energy Recharge that also provides us with increased damage with its passive, the best thing is that it is free because it was a reward for an event.
BEST ARTIFACTS
As for stats on artifacts:
- Helmet or Crown : Critical Damage or Critical Chance.
- Clock : Energy Recharge.
- Chalice : Anemo Damage Bonus.
Substats you are looking for:
- Priority: Energy Recharge, Critical Chance, Critical Damage and Attack %.
And as for the Set of Artifacts we have two options:
- Fate Emblem :
- 2 Pieces : +20% Energy Recharge.
- 4 pieces : Increases the damage of the Ulti by an amount equal to 25% of the Energy Recharge of the character wearing the set up to a maximum of 75%.
Faruzán’s main role is to lower the Anemo Resistance of the enemies and give Anemo Damage bonuses to the sync pairs of the team, so it is essential that his ult is always ready or else this character will be of little use to us.
The cost of his Ultimate Ability is 80 Elemental Energy points and it will be quite difficult to recharge; It is for them that Emblem of Destiny is one of your best options, since the two-piece set will provide us with 20% Energy Recharge and the four-piece set will increase the damage of the ult based on 25% of the Recharge of Energy of Faruzán.
In this way we will make sure that Faruzán is always ready to provide the corresponding bonuses and resistance drops and we will also increase the damage of his ulti.
- Emerald Green Shade :
- 2 Pieces : +15% Anemo Damage Bonus.
- 4 Pieces : Increases the damage dealt by Whirlwind by 60% and also reduces the elemental resistance of enemies to the element that Whirlwind has by 40% for 10 seconds.
This option will increase his Anemo Damage Bonus with which he will increase the damage of his abilities and with the four pieces we will increase the damage of his Whirlwind Elemental Reactions and also with this Faruzán will not only lower the Elemental Resistance of Anemo, now he will also be able to do it with Electro, Pyro, Cryo and Hydro.
This option is designed to be used in teams where she continues to act as a booster for an Anemo DPS (in this case Globetrotter or Shikanoin Heizou) and the rest of the team are DPS Supports that spam a lot of passive damage like Xiangling or Yelan , since they The goal of this set is to lower the resistance to the other elements.
In the event that you want to boost Xiao with Faruzán, do not take this set, since its best asset for team composition consists of two characters from Anemo and another two from Geo in which Emerald Green Shadow will obviously not be useful, since there won’t be any additional Elemental Resistance we can lower.
BEST TEAMMATES
These are some of the characters that have synergy with Faruzán:
- Anemo Characters : We will need to accompany him with characters of this element to get his potential, since their main role is to lower Anemo Resistance and give Anemo Damage Bonuses to increase the damage caused by characters that belong to this element.
- Globetrotter : The drop in Anemo Resistance and the Anemo Damage Bonus provided by Faruzán will come in handy to cover the time we are giving basics while we are in the state granted by the Globetrotter’s Elemental Skill and to increase the damage of his ulti.
- Xiao : His ulti generates tremendous damage and is quite durable, if we have Faruzán’s C2 we can maintain the Anemo Damage Bonus for Xiao at the same time that we lower the Elemental Resistance to Anemo to the enemies covering the entire duration of his ulti.
- Shikanoin Heizou : Just like Wanderer, he hits very quickly and all his blows always generate Anemo Damage, so Faruzán is ideal to boost him and further increase the damage of that devastating Elemental Skill that he has.
- Jean : Although it is not a Main DPS, the damage of Jean’s abilities is quite good by itself and they can be greatly benefited by Faruzán, also with her we can cover the position of Healer in the team.
