Genshin Impact Version 3.3 has introduced Faruzan, the Enigmatic Machinist, to the game, introducing another powerful Anemo Support character to the playable roster. Faruzan's Elemental Skill, using the power of technological polyhedrons and geometry, is able to deal Anemo damage in an area and enhance her next Charge Attack. For her Elemental Burst, she creates a Dazzling Polyhedron, which deals Anemo damage, while decreasing enemy Anemo resistance and increasing the party's Anemo damage.
The best role for Faruzan, according to Game8, is as a Support character, using her powerful buffs and debuffs to massively increase the party's damage, while consistently decreasing the enemy's Anemo resistance. Alternatively, players can focus on using her abilities to create Swirl reactions and high levels of AoE damage. Both of these builds are perfect for any player, especially those with a powerful Anemo main-DPS like Genshin Impact 3.3's character The Wanderer.
Genshin Impact: Faruzan's Best Weapons, Artifacts, & Constellations
When leveling talents, for both builds, Faruzan should prioritize her Elemental Burst, as it provides an increase to her Anemo buff percentage, leading to a large increase in damage. After, Genshin Impact players can choose to level either her Elemental Skill or Normal Attack, as both increase her damage and support capabilities equally, though players looking to use her Swirl build may want to start with her Elemental Skill. Due to her role as a Support, Layla should usually be played off-field, though her enhanced Charge Attack may force her onto the battlefield longer than expected. This would make any levels in her Normal Attack valuable as well.
Faruzan's best weapon for her buff Support build is the Skyward Harp, one of the best bows in Genshin Impact. This bow increases Crit Rate and Damage, as well as giving attacks the chance to deal AoE damage, echoing the already massive amounts of AoE she already has. For a build focusing on Elemental Reactions, the Elegy for the End, will help increase her Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge by a massive amount. This will allow for more powerful, and frequent Swirl procs, making Faruzan a strong prospect for any Swirl team.
Moving to Artifacts for Faruzan, players will want to build Genshin Impact's Noblesse Oblige set for Faruzan's buff Support build. This will cause her Elemental Burst to increase the party's damage by a huge amount. For her Swirl build, the Viridescent Venerer Artifact set helps shred enemy resistances and increase the power of Genshin Impact's Swirl reactions. Finally, any player looking for specific stats should prioritize Energy Recharge, Anemo Damage, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage. These stats, though fairly standard, will allow Faruzan to deal large amounts of damage both with and without needing to set up Swirl reactions, adding some much-needed combat versatility to the character.
Faruzan works well without any Constellations, though her C6, which allows her to buff her team's Crit Damage, will fully unlock her capabilities as a support. This Constellation also opens up some freedom in her build, allowing Faruzan to have a little more versatility when it comes to Artifact sets and stat distributions. Overall, any player looking for a strong Anemo Support character should definitely consider her for their party. Through massive buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies, Faruzan should find herself at home in any Genshin Impact team with more than one Anemo character.
