Overview

  • Anemo damage buffer
  • Anemo RES shred

Faruzan exists to make Anemo damage dealers hit harder. Her Elemental Burst sends a polyhedron along a triangular path, and each pulse lowers enemy Anemo RES and grants the party an Anemo DMG Bonus. Her passive then adds flat damage to the next Anemo hit based on her Base ATK. Her Skill fires a Hurricane Arrow whose vortex also applies the RES shred and pulls enemies together.

Her Burst is expensive and she produces little Energy on her own, so Energy Recharge is the stat that matters most. Get enough to cast the Burst every rotation, then add whatever helps the team, such as a team-wide buff set.

Weapons

Best first. Every bow on this list links to its page.

  1. Favonius Warbow ★★★★

    The most practical choice. Lots of Energy Recharge, and its extra particles help fix her Energy problems.

  2. Elegy for the End ★★★★★

    Energy Recharge plus a team buff to ATK and Elemental Mastery. A good fit if you already own it.

  3. Sacrificial Bow ★★★★

    Energy Recharge and a chance to reset her Skill, which gives you extra particles.

  4. End of the Line ★★★★

    A free 4-star from fishing with a high Energy Recharge substat. Fine if you lack the others.

Artifact sets

  1. Tenacity of the Millelith 4-piece

    Her Skill hit triggers a team-wide ATK buff, which stacks with what her Burst already gives.

  2. Noblesse Oblige 4-piece

    Another team-wide ATK buff, triggered by her Burst. Use it if nobody else in the team carries this set.

  3. Emblem of Severed Fate 4-piece

    Energy Recharge on the 2-piece makes reaching her requirement easier. Pick this if you still cannot cast her Burst every rotation.

Teams

  • Xiao hypercarry

    Faruzan's shred and Anemo bonus boost every plunge, Xianyun makes the plunges stronger and heals, and Furina adds damage and a buff from off the field.

  • Wanderer hypercarry

    Bennett adds ATK and Pyro so Wanderer's passive gets an extra boost, and Zhongli keeps him safe.

  • Budget Xiao

    A cheaper version: Bennett buffs ATK and heals, and Layla's shield keeps Xiao's plunges going.

Tips

  • Without enough Energy Recharge her Burst will not be ready, and most of her value comes from the Burst. Check this first.
  • A Favonius weapon only procs on crits, so a CRIT Rate circlet often works better than an ATK circlet in that case.
  • Her Hurricane Arrow charges faster in the Manifest Gale state. Use the Skill, then fire one fully charged shot before swapping.
  • She only helps Anemo damage. In teams without an Anemo damage dealer, another support will do more.

Other character guides recommend Faruzan as a teammate in these teams.

Talents

Normal Attack Parthian Shot
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow. Charged Attack Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, mighty winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow will deal Anemo DMG. Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, hitting opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill Wind Realm of Nasamjnin
Faruzan deploys a polyhedron that deals AoE Anemo DMG to nearby opponents. She will also enter the Manifest Gale state. While in the Manifest Gale state, Faruzan's next fully charged shot will consume this state and will become a Hurricane Arrow that contains high-pressure currents. This arrow deals Anemo DMG based on the DMG of a fully charged Aimed Shot from "Normal Attack: Parthian Shot." Pressurized Collapse The Hurricane Arrow will apply a Pressurized Collapse effect to the opponent or character hit. This effect will be removed after a short delay, creating a vortex that deals AoE Anemo DMG and pulls nearby objects and opponents in. If the Hurricane Arrow does not hit any opponent or character, it will create a Pressurized Collapse effect at its point of impact. The vortex DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
Elemental Burst The Wind's Secret Ways
Faruzan deploys a Dazzling Polyhedron that unleashes a Whirlwind Pulse and deals AoE Anemo DMG. While the Dazzling Polyhedron persists, it will continuously move along a triangular path. Once it reaches each corner of that triangular path, it will unleash 1 more Whirlwind Pulse. Whirlwind Pulse ·When the Whirlwind Pulse is unleashed, it will apply Perfidious Wind's Bale to nearby opponents, decreasing their Anemo RES. ·The Whirlwind Pulse will also apply Prayerful Wind's Benefit to all nearby party members when it is unleashed, granting them an Anemo DMG Bonus.
Passive talent Impetuous Flow
When Faruzan is in the Manifest Gale state created by Wind Realm of Nasamjnin, the amount of time taken to charge a shot is decreased by 60%, and she can apply The Wind's Secret Ways' Perfidious Wind's Bale to opponents who are hit by the vortex created by Pressurized Collapse.
Passive talent Lost Wisdom of the Seven Caverns
When characters affected by The Wind's Secret Ways' Prayerful Wind's Benefit deal Anemo DMG using Normal, Charged, Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, or Elemental Bursts to opponents, they will gain the Hurricane Guard effect: This DMG will be increased based on 32% of Faruzan's Base ATK. 1 instance of Hurricane Guard can occur once every 0.8s. This DMG Bonus will be cleared after Prayerful Wind's Benefit expires or after the effect is triggered once.
Passive talent Tomes Light the Path
Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Sumeru Expedition for 20 hours.
