[Guide] Genshin Impact – Faruzan Kit and Build Overview

Faruzan, the Enigmatic Machinist, is a 4-star Anemo Bow character featured in the first half of 3.3 Update in Genshin Impact.

Much like how Shenhe brings Cryo teams to the top with her kit, Faruzan does the same with Anemo and she is also the only one capable of Anemo shredding at base Constellation.

FARUZAN KIT

Her Elemental Skill is “Wind Realm of Nasamjinin”, dealing AoE Anemo Damage and entering her into the Manifest Gale state.

Manifest Gale changes her fully Charged Shot into Hurricane Arrow that will apply Pressurized Collapse on the point of impact. After a short delay, the effect will be removed and deals AoE Anemo Damage and pulls enemies into the vortex.

Her Elemental Burst is “The Wind’s Secret Ways”, deploying a Dazzling Polyhedron that casts Whirlwind Pulse and AoE Anemo Damage.

The Dazzling Polyhedron will move along in a triangle shape and for each corner it stops at, it’ll cast another Whirlwind Pulse.

The Whirlwind Pulse decreases the Anemo RES to nearby opponents and gives bonus Anemo Damage to nearby allies.

FARUZAN PASSIVE

Her first passive “Impetuous Flow” decreases the charge time for her Hurricane Arrow and reduces the Anemo RES of enemies hit by the vortex from Pressurized Collapse.

Her second passive “Lost Wisdom of the Seven Caverns” gives the Hurricane Guard to allies affected by the buff from her Elemental Burst, giving even more Anemo Damage Bonus scaling with her Base Attack.

Her Adventure Skill is the same as Cyno, giving more rewards when dispatched on a Sumeru Expedition.

ARTIFACTS

Main Stats

Set

Artifact	Set Bonuses
Noblesse Oblige
	2-Piece: Elemental Burst DMG +20%
	4-Piece: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack.

Noblesse Oblige is the best choice since you would be playing Faruzan as the prime Anemo support using her kit. The multiplier on her Burst is also pretty massive for a support which complements the 2-piece bonus of Noblesse Oblige.

Artifacts	Set Bonuses
Emblem of Severed Fate
	2-Piece: Energy Recharge +20%
	4-Piece: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way.

Emblem of Severed Fate works if you are playing Faruzan as an off-field DPS, providing support for your on-field DPS through her Burst that is now buffed from the 4-piece bonus of the set.

Artifacts	Set Bonuses
Viridescent Venerer
	2-Piece: Anemo DMG Bonus +15%
Gladiator's Finale
	2-Piece: ATK +18%.

Mixing VV and Gladiator is for the odd choice of using Faruzan as a DPS. The bonuses from the two sets work well since you’ll be playing around her Charged Attack and Elemental Skill for Anemo Shredding.

WEAPONS

Weapon	Rarity	Substat	Passive	Comments
Elegy for the End	5★	Energy Recharge	A part of the “Millennial Movement” that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by 60. When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field. When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the “Millennial Movement: Farewell Song” effect for 12s. “Millennial Movement: Farewell Song” increases Elemental Mastery by 100 and increases ATK by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s. Of the many effects of the “Millennial Movement,” buffs of the same type will not stack.	For a full support Faruzan focusing on buffing her team as she can stack up on the Sigils of the bow since her Elemental Burst stays for quite a duration even when she is off-field.
Amos' Bow	5★	Attack %	Increases Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 12%. After a Normal or Charged Attack is fired, DMG dealt increases by a further 8% every 0.1s the arrow is in the air for up to 5 times.	Perfect bow for DPS Faruzan with its passive increasing the total damage from her Charged Attack synergizing with her Anemo Shredding.
Fading Twilight	4★	Energy Recharge %	Has three states, Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze, which increase DMG dealt by 6%/10%/14% respectively. When attacks hit opponents, this weapon will switch to the next state. This weapon can change states once every 7s. The character equipping this weapon can still trigger the state switch while not on the field.	Works well with off-field DPS Faruzan since the multiplier of her Burst is already huge, if you paired it up with the bow’s passive, you’ll get damage comparable to 5-star DPS
Favonius Warbow	4★	Energy Recharge	CRIT Hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12s.	The choice if you are going to use Faruzan as a battery for your Anemo DPS since her Burst can also crit to activate its passive.

TEAMS

Faruzan is solely for an Anemo focused team as she not only brings Bonus Anemo Damage but also Anemo Shredding both in her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.

STRENGTH

As mentioned before, Faruzan is the Anemo support much like how Shenhe is the Cryo support. Anemo DPS like Xiao and Wanderer will benefit greatly having her in their team since she is one of the few characters with Anemo Shredding, the other being Jean which is locked behind C4.

WEAKNESS

Being an Anemo supporter means she would not be a viable option in other teams much like how Shenhe only works best in the Cryo team. Even if you use her for the Anemo Swirl, she has nothing to increase the output from the Swirl she does. Sucrose does much better at Swirls between the two.

SHOULD YOU PULL

If you are pulling for Wanderer, then it would not hurt to try harder to pull for her. Having her at C6 would be the ideal since she provides a whopping 40% Crit Damage to Anemo DPS on her Burst.

Outside of Anemo however, she is very lacking. Usually, you play support Anemo characters for their swirl but Faruzan is unreliable for that job. Her Burst follows a set path so going for a consistent Swirl with it would require you to constantly position yourself and your enemies to the position of her Burst.

If you like seeing your Xiao to deal 100k per plunge attacks however, do roll for her as she will be your prime Anemo support until another Anemo shredder comes.
