The Hydro Archon Furina may come out in Genshin Impact 4.2. Though update 4.1 has been started recently, many F2P players started to save Primogems for her banners. Here are five reasons why you should save Primogems and Intertwined Fates for her banner.

#1. Furina Can Move On Water Surface With Skill

Furina is the best character at moving on the water surface in Genshin Impact. Ayaka needs to freeze the water surface and create a frozen path in water bodies to walk on. Both Mona and Ayaka consume lots of stamina to move on the water surface in Genshin Impact. Sangonomiya Kokomi has to use the elemental burst to walk on the water which cannot last long.

Unlike these characters, Furina can walk on the water with her elemental skill. The duration of this skill is also longer than elemental bursts. It makes the Hydro Archon an ideal character for open-world exploration trips in Fontaine and Teyvat.

#2. Her Damage Scales On Max HP

Her output damage scale on her max HP. Therefore, you should save Primogems for an HP-buff weapon, such as her signature weapon Splendor of Still Waters. The damage rate of the character is worth expecting. You can make Furina stronger by upgrading her elemental skill, burst, passive talents, and Furina C2 and C6.

#3. Impressive Supportive Ability

Furina is also good at supporting her team in many aspects. In the Pneuma phase, the Hydro Archon can heal her allies with her elemental skill. Besides, her elemental burst can buff damage for her allies and heal HP for them. In short, she is one of the most versatile supporters in Genshin Impact who can apply Hydro element, heal, and buff allies.

#4. Possess Both Ousia And Pneuma

Most of the Fontaine characters possess either Ousia or Pneuma energy. Furina is a special character who has both the Ousia and Pneuma phases. She can easily switch between these two phases after using her charged attacks. Moreover, her outfit and hairstyle also change when she switches between the Ousia and Pneuma phases. Therefore, she is very useful for the exploration trip in the world of Fontaine.

#5. Be An Archon In Teyvat

As one of the Seven Archons in Teyvat, Furina is one of the most expected characters in Genshin Impact. Her story and ability are attractive. She can play many roles, especially the supportive role. Moreover, the Hydro element never goes out of the meta. Therefore, she is a worth-pulling character in Genshin Impact.

Water That Failed to Transcend will be a drop from the Hydro Mimic Humans. This novel overworld boss will appear in version 4.2.

The Hydro Archon Focalors or Furina will be released in Genshin Impact 4.2. You can start to farm materials for this powerful character now. Here are three things you should prepare for the Hydro Archon before her official release now.

I. Energy Recharge Weapon

Furina will play as an off-field DPS with her powerful elemental burst at CM0. Therefore, Splendor of Still Waters is not the best weapon for Furina C0. But she needs tons of Energy for her burst. Therefore, you may need 200% Energy Recharge and pick Energy particles for her elemental burst. Here are three recommended weapons for Furina CM0 in update 4.1.

• Festering Desire (4-star): Besides ER, this sword also buffs Elemental Skill - the main source of damage. The base ATK stats do not matter as it doesn't make a huge change at CM0. Normal attacks at CM0 are usually too weak to focus on.

• The Dockhand’s Assistant (4-star): It's a new 4-star weapon in Neuvillette's weapon banner. It provides HP and recharges 2-12 energy points based on the level of refinement.
• Favonius Sword (4-star): It's one of the most preferred weapons when Genshin Impact players need to boost Energy Recharge for their characters. This 4-star sword also creates many energy particles on the ground when she stays on-field.

Her 5-star signature sword Splendor of Still Waters is more useful at CM2. Therefore, you should save Primogems for Furina CM2 before pulling this weapon. These three 4-star weapons are great options for the Hydro Archon of F2P players who can't afford either Splendor of Still Waters or Furina CM2.

II. A Goblet With An HP Buff

The Hydro Archon at CM0 is prone to the role of an off-field DPS, so the Golden Troupe is the best option for a 70% Elemental Damage buff. But you should get a goblet with an HP buff instead of a Hydro damage buff. Here are the reasons.

• Furina's ability scales on HP

Firstly, all skills and attacks of Furina scale on HP, except for her normal attack. Therefore, a goblet with %HP is more beneficial than any other status. In addition, Furina also heals her teammates better and buffs the Fanfare, which will boost the output damage of the whole team massively. Furina CM0 with level-10 elemental burst buff her team with 99% output damage.

• Because of her second passive talent

The second passive talent of the Hydro Archon buffs her elemental skill damage by 28% and reduces the interval between two healing times by 16%. But you need 40,000 HP to get these insane buffs.

As an off-field DPS, her elemental burst is a must to produce a huge output damage. Therefore, you need a weapon and other artifacts for her energy recharge stats. That's why a goblet with HP buff is better than the one with Hydro elemental damage buff.

• Beneficial for Furina CM2

If you all-in your Primogems to get Furina CM2, this HP-buff goblet is also beneficial for normal attacks. It raises the output damage of Furina's normal attacks by 15%, scaling on her max HP. With 40,000 HP, each slash of Furina gets a 6,000 DMG bonus excluding Crit Rate and reaction buffs. Try to obtain and maximize the level of your Golden Troupe HP-buff goblet for the Hydro Archon now.

III. Golden Troupe Or Marechaussee Hunter

Both Golden Troupe and Marechaussee Hunter are excellent for Furina in different ways. Let's check out which is better for her here.

• Golden Troupe is a perfect option for Furina CM0 in the role of an off-field DPS.
• Marechaussee Hunter is better for Furina CM2 with a 36% Crit Rate bonus.

Boosting the Crit Rate and Crit DMG makes the Hydro Archon become an overwhelming DPS unit. At level 90, her Crit Rate reaches 24.2%. With a 36% Crit Rate bonus from the Marechaussee Hunter artifact set, you get a 60.2% Crit Rate for this character. It's an ideal status for the main DPS character who relies mainly on the elemental burst.

It's still a long way from the official release of the Hydro Archon - Furina. But we can start to save Primogems, weapons, and materials for this highly-anticipated character now. One of the best 4-star weapons for Furina CM0 is available to roll in the current weapon banner.
