Background of Faruzan

Rarity	(4-Star)
Element	Anemo
Weapon	Bow
Best Role	Dedicated Anemo Buffer
Stat Priority	ER > CRIT Rate (Favonius) > ATK
Tier	SS (For Xiao/Wanderer)

Faruzan is the "Madam" of Haravatat and the most essential support character for any Anemo DPS. She provides a trifecta of buffs: Anemo DMG Bonus, Anemo RES Shred, and Flat DMG increase. At C6, she also grants 40% Anemo Crit DMG, making her indispensable for Xiao and Wanderer.

Pros

Massive Anemo DMG Buffs (best in slot for Anemo).
Shreds Anemo RES (rare debuff).
C6 provides 40% Crit DMG and perfect grouping.
Great Tenacity of the Millelith holder (C6 only).

Cons

Extreme Energy Issues at C0 (needs 300%+ ER).
Clunky Charged Attack gameplay pre-C6.
Circle Impact (Burst moves in a triangle, can miss).
Virtually useless outside of Anemo teams.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact (C0-C5): 4pc Noblesse Oblige or 4pc Emblem (If struggling with ER).
Best Artifact (C6): 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith (100% Uptime).
Best Weapon: Favonius Warbow (Mandatory for Energy).
Alt Weapon: Elegy for the End (5⭐ - Only if ER is managed).
F2P Weapon: End of the Line (The Fish Bow) for ER.
Main Stats: SANDS: ER% | GOBLET: Anemo or ATK% | CIRCLET: CRIT Rate.
Talent Priority: Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack.
Top Team: Faruzan + Xiao/Wanderer + Bennett + Zhongli.

Pro Tip: Favonius is King. Faruzan's energy requirements are so high that running anything other than Favonius Warbow at C0-C5 is usually a mistake. Even at C6, the white particles are vital for Xiao.

Ascension & Talent Materials

Category	Material Name	Source
Ascension	Redcrest (Henna Berry)	Sumeru Desert (Cactus)
Boss Drop	Light Guiding Tetrahedron	ASIMON (Sumeru Desert)
Talent Books	Teachings of Admonition	Steeple of Ignorance (Mon/Thu/Sun)

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Wind Realm of Nasamjnin

Manifest Gale: Deals AoE Anemo DMG.
Charged Shot (Hurricane Arrow): After using Skill, her next Charged Shot creates a "Pressurized Collapse" that groups enemies.
Particle Generation: She generates ZERO particles on cast. She ONLY generates particles (2) when the Charged Shot hits. This clunky mechanic is why she needs high ER.

Elemental Burst: The Wind's Secret Ways

Cost: 80 Energy | Cooldown: 20s
Polyhedron: Deploys a "Dazzling Polyhedron" that moves in a triangular path.
The Buffs:
- Anemo DMG Bonus: Increases Anemo DMG for all party members.
- Anemo RES Shred: Decreases Anemo RES of enemies hit by 30%.
Uptime: Lasts 12s (18s at C2). Essential for maximizing Xiao/Wanderer.

Passive: Lost Wisdom of the Seven Caverns

Flat DMG Buff: When characters deal Anemo DMG, it is increased by 32% of Faruzan's Base ATK. Similar to Bennett, but for Anemo.
Significance: This encourages leveling her weapon to 90 and using high base ATK bows (Skyward/Elegy) if you can meet ER needs.

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Burst (Level 10) - Improves DMG bonus.
Elemental Skill (Level 6) - Utility.
Normal Attack (Level 1) - Ignore.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Faruzan has the most punishing ER requirements in the game at C0.

Constellation	Weapon	ER Requirement
C0 - C5	Favonius Warbow	280% - 300%+
C0 - C5	Non-ER Weapon	Impossible (Don't do it)
C6	Any	160% - 180%

Substat Priority:

Energy Recharge (Until burst is consistent - priority #1)
CRIT Rate (To trigger Favonius)
Base ATK (Weapon/Level only - artifacts don't help much)

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
4pc Tenacity of the Millelith	BiS at C6	Her C6 triggers "Pressurized Collapses" off-field, which counts as Skill DMG. This gives 100% uptime on the 20% ATK buff. Do not use pre-C6.
4pc Noblesse Oblige	BiS at C0-C5	Standard buffing set. Since she bursts every rotation (hopefully), this is reliable.
2pc Emblem / 2pc Exile	Energy Starved	If you can't reach 300% ER, ignore set bonuses and just stack ER pieces.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Favonius Warbow	ER%	S+	The only real choice for C0-C5. High ER + Particles. Essential.
Elegy for the End	ER%	S (C6 Only)	5-Star. High Base ATK boosts her passive. Team buff is great. Only viable if you have C6 to solve energy issues.
End of the Line	ER%	B	Sumeru Fishing weapon. Decent ER stick if you don't have Favonius.

Constellation Value

Faruzan has the most valuable C6 of any 4-star in the game.

C2: Overzealous Intellect - (Duration) Extends Burst by 6s. This allows the buffs to last through Xiao/Cyno's entire field time. Very important.
C4: Divine Comprehension - (Energy) Restores energy based on enemies hit. Helps slightly, but not enough to drop Favonius.
C6: The Wondrous Path of Truth - (God Tier)
• Grants 40% Anemo CRIT DMG.
• Triggers Pressurized Collapses every 3s off-field (Grouping + Particles + Tenacity Proc).
• Solves her Energy issues completely.

Verdict: C6 is a different character. Try to get it if you main Xiao/Wanderer.

Top Team Compositions

1. Wanderer Hypercarry

Main DPS: Wanderer
Buffer: Faruzan
Buffer/Heal: Bennett
Shield: Zhongli / Thoma

Why it works: Faruzan maximizes Wanderer's damage. With C6, she also groups enemies so Wanderer's Charged Attacks hit more targets.

2. Xiao FFXX

Main DPS: Xiao
Buffer: Faruzan
Plunge Support: Xianyun
Buffer: Furina

Why it works: The highest damage ceiling team in the game. Faruzan C6 + Xianyun + Furina turns Xiao into a monster.

Rotations & Combos

C0 Rotation (Painful):
Faruzan E -> Charged Shot -> Q

C6 Rotation (Smooth):
Faruzan Q (That's it. She does everything else automatically.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is she unusable at C0?
Not "unusable," but very frustrating. You spend 3 seconds on field charging a shot just to get energy. If you have 300% ER, she works fine.

Is C6 Faruzan better than Bennett?
For Anemo carries? Yes. The shred + crit damage + grouping outweighs raw ATK, though you usually run both anyway.
