IS FARUZAN BROKEN? Complete Faruzan Guide & Review [C0 vs C6] - Best Build & Teams | Genshin Impact 

As an Anemo main, I both LOVE and HATE this character lmao I love how she buffs my Wanderer/Xiao's dmg... but I hate that a LOT of her potential is locked behind C6 (and the insanely high ER requirement at C0)... What are your thoughts? Small Edit: i wanna emphasize that in 3 anemo comps (w/ sucrose TTDS or Venti) Faruzan even C0 or especially C2 can be good with Xiao and a worthwhile slot in certain Xiao teams if you have enough energy generation (with her becoming rly insane with Xiao at c6, as mentioned --- like actually xiao + faruzan c6 is INSANE).

appreciate the honesty in this video. too many genshin content creators don't account for how the constellation system is designed annoyingly at times. thanks

She needs Raiden levels of ER. That's a problem. I agree that they put way too much power at c6. They should have spaced it out.

If you currently don't have Faruzan C6, ZyOx's recommendation is correct: You need to focus just on ER to get her Burst up since it's what buffs your Anemo DPS's DMG. Here's a quick tip on how you can build 300% ER on Faruzan: - Weapon: Favonius Warbow (lv90/+61.3% ER) - Artifact set: 2pcs Exile 2pcs Emblem (+40% ER). - Artifact stat: + Flower and Feather: 2pcs Exile + Sands: ER% (Emblem/51.8% ER) + Goblet/Circlet: 1 of 2 is Emblem. So without counting Artifact stat, you already have 100 (base ER) + 61.3 + 40 + 51.8 = 253.1% ER. You will need 46.9% ER from the 4 artifact pieces (not Sands), which is ~11.7% ER (2/3 artifact rolls with 5* artifact or 3/4 rolls with 4*). This is definitely doable and you can potentially get more to find your comfortable ER spot. You can go with the full 4pcs Noblesse/Viridescent but it will be a bit tougher to reach 300% ER, and your support like Bennett may run Noblesse already. Remember that any seconds you don't have Faruzan's Burst back after the 20-second cooldown ends means you are losing DPS. Overall, great video :)

I spent two days using faruzan at c5 and I was crying the whole time doing it. After getting her C6 I was so angry when I realised how easy to use she becomes with her last constellation. It shouldn’t be this way

Cannot wait to use her with Xiao when his rerun comes out, her burst will finally have recharged

TLDR these new 4 stars are c6 gacha locked unlike the first release 4 stars at c0 Truly a hoyoverse moment

I have her at c6 and yeah, she's much stronger, also I've noticed that her damage is pretty good too, I've seen her burst hit for 40k before which is kinda nutty for a support meant to buff teammates.

I love being able to run 300% er then die trying to funnel

What do Candace, Collei, and Faruzan have in common? Their usability at C0

I love how her ascension stat is atk% which is almost useless on her instead of er%, so fun for all the family!

I wont be surprised if every 4 star released after Faruzan is constellation dependent and clunky (maybe), considering how much harder it is to get 4* than 5* . I'm even surprised it took them this long to do this kind of aggressive monetization, though they did do this for some characters like C1 Hu Tao (which shouldn't have existed in the first place, and was Cleary a "create the problem sell the solution" type of scheme).

I got her c4 somehow in 50 wishes and built her to 70 and was so unimpressed. Sure she gave a great damage buff but it was actually impossible to play her with xiao who already has his own energy problems. I bit the bullet and pulled till her c6, got wanderer in the process, and my god she became a 5* support immediately. No character should have that much power locked behind one constellation

Her C1 made her look like Ganyu imo. Her E skill almost didn't have a downtime, enough for me to use charged atks continuously.

I became a Xiao main like from 1 and half year ago. And I was looking forward for a support for him. Finally they added an artifact set that’s really hard to get what you want on him and a support that needs her constellations to be broken. I wished they at least gave her the C1 and 3 energy particles on her skill on the house. That would fix the problem. Also they could at least make The Vermillion Hereafter artifact set less RNG for the exact sets that Xiao needs, I’m literally getting multiple healing bonus circlets everyday. I’m starting to think mihoyo hates Xiao or Xiao mains.

I see Faruzan as being designed to just make Hoyo more money.... everyone that wanted Wanderer/Scara likely experienced FOMO if they didn't put until they got her to C6. They gated her worth behind a pile of primo's (potentially your hard earned bucks) to just squeeze more money out of her. Smart? Slimy? or a bit of both... you decide. I saw through this more or less immediately and decided to not pull on this banner entirely.

Wow, this guide is very helpful and very easy to understand. I wonder if this Genshin Impact Content Creator is very calm and collected in his streams!!1 Surely I will learn more about this game because of this very intelligent, respectable, tall individual named Zy0x and I am proud to say I am now one of the no-Ls, PogO, Gayge, and sanest Zy0x viewers, true.

What can Hoyoverse easily do in this situation? Just decrease her burst energy cost. That'll fix half of her problem.

We should not expect change but it important for everyone to be aware that we can leave feedback in game by selecting the feedback option in the Paimon menu.

I managed to get her C6 and the difference that one constellation makes is absolutely absurd. No joke C6 adds: - Anemo Crit DMG - Consistent and decent grouping - Anemo battery - 100% uptime on anemo resistance shred (A1 passive synergy) - No need to ever use a charge shot. - Pretty much no need to ever use skill either. So you now just press Burst, swap out and get all the benefits, then you're ready to go again with nearly 100% uptime.

I personally like this video and find it really really helpful. I especially like the comparison between c2 and c6 in every section, coz let's face it, not everybody can hit c6 immediately. Some might be stuck in c4 or c5 (like me) So it helps to know what max dmg i can deal with her in c2, but also get an idea on "how will this be different in c6?" Thanks man

Keep up the great work man 💖👍👍

ive been waiting for this, Thank you!

Thank you for this! Helped a lot ♥️

Sucrose build really changed when using an elemental or battery team. Genshin needs to add some kind of class setups to switch between builds asap

At C6 4pc tenacity becomes a very viable choice for her since the vortexes deal elemental skill damage so you'll have 100% uptime on the atk% buff while her burst is active.

This was actually very helpful, best faruzan guide i've seen

thank you for all your guides!

At C0, truly one of the sumeru 4*’s out there.

I don’t know why they didn’t spread out the 3 things in her c6 throughout her other constellations like c2 and c4

LETS GO, WAS WAITING FOR IT

Been waiting for this one

faruzan truly is one of the characters in genshin... she's definitely a character ever added to the game! such an impact

as a xiao main saving for alhaitham, thanks so much! this really helped me make my decision not to pull for her (risking my high pity) and use other supports for my xiao instead. nothing better than best advice from the best xiao main :)

Thank you! This video is very helpful! Especially now with the re release of Wanderer banner and Faruzan now on both banners I managed to get a c6 Faruzan without trying.

such a calming video, just like your stream

hii zy0x love your videos, any chance you could make another best teams video or atleast abyss guides??

Who is Zyox? In math my solution, in history my king, in art my canvas, in science my oxygen, in geography my world, in artifact RNG my crit rolls

Thanks for the video. I've been waiting for you to do her complete guide. Think I'm going to try to get her C6 since I main Xiao and Wanderer. Btw, can you do videos about TCG? I'm so addicted to it. Wanna know your thoughts on it, your playing style, guide etc.

one point worth mentioning on the VV set on faruzan. she only swirls with the special effect of her charged shot and with the initial hit of her ult. not with the subsequent explosions. so at anything other than c6 she would swirl really few times. at c6 the effect procced by teammates would swirl constantly making her even better yet lol

Let’s go! Just 3500% ER and I’m good!

See me personally I'd change up her C6 constellation: we keep the Crit DMG buff to fall in line with Gorou C6 (at max value) and Sara C6, while the other remaining parts of that existing constellation get transferred to either other parts of her constellations or just flat-out apart of her C0 kit. The real winner for her C6 would be that her burst moves either based on the position of the most recently damaged enemy or it tracks your character's movement while still maintaining that (weird) triangular formation. Both sound good, so I put them there. Thoughts?

I got her c6 only because I had been saving for Wanderer and Kokomi and their banners came together. So I got tons of Faruzan copies. This video reallly helps figure out how to build her after c6, thanks!

Many-many thanks for a guide!

Can’t wait to use her in 2 years.

By the way, another benefit of c6: you are no longer tied to your ult so hard, because the actual anemo buff part of her ultimate has nahida ultimate radius, so you pretty much have it all the time. And with c6 when you fire skill arrow, it shreds anemo which doesnt stack with ulti, so you dont care if ult hits enemyes.

Thanks for the video, some very insightful comments. I always watch your guides before deciding if I want to pull or not. Not sure if it's just me but this video in particular I had to slow down to 0.9x speed just to understand the words.

FINALLY u posted her guide

This is definitely one of the Zyox guides of all time

As a Xiao main, I think she’s great. I was surprised as how well she buffs him. Hoping to get her c6. So far 200er has been enough.

Thanks for this video, i understood well

Good guide Mr. Socks, very cool

In all honestly I'm running Xiaoden with Faruzan. I don't have Albedo anyways and Faruzan can hold Elegy + 4p VV for Raiden, plus Raiden actually likes her high burst cost. Not sure how viable this team is but it's fun at least

So I just got c6 today and now I’m here

Hi mr socks, ty for the video. I will now wait for your streams which are also very calm and composed.

this channel is my always Go-to whenever I am to research for a character. I mean, I might get faruzan on 3.6.

I don’t even have the character, I just love watching Zy0x videos lol

that 80 energy cost on her burst is literally the worst nerf on her. Either way, I'm still getting her because of her 5* design.

Rlly good, seen tiktok clips so skipped me a long AESS vid 🤩

Waiting for this vid to drop 😭

She’s only bearable with Heizhou with his low energy requirement and decent energy part drop

imagine being early in the game, pulling for Itto or wanderer and you get nothing but these extremely niche supports.

I never even noticed the energy problem- I run her in a team with Zhongli who is on Fav and herself also of Fav with 230 ER (emblem, I just assumed I would want her burst as often as possible) so it really just... never occurred to me. Heck I had more problems with Wanderer's recharge than Faruzans. But looking at the stats, it really does makes sense that she's got an energy problem. Huh. Nice to know.

was listening to this guide while walking out in the dark and my phone fell out of my pocket into the snow. it was a very weird experience searching for my phone using the disembodied voice of zyox lmao.

rewatching this now that i have c6....

I imagine faruzan mains will be a true menace in co-op

A damage showcase with and without her would've been nice, like you did for shenhe

I have c1 Faruzan currently. I will try using this comp, Wanderer, Faruzan, Benny (Noblesse) and Tankfei (Prototype amber and ESF+Tenacity). Though, there will be a downtime in shield of 5s.

I usually run C6 Faruzan with Elegy and an Atk sands and have enough ER but maybe I should change it to an ER sands to run less ER and more offensive substats on my other artifacts. My Wanderer currently hast 4x Viridescent because the substats are better than with 2x Atk% sets xD but I’m farming for the new set

What if BROKEN but not actually in a good way (like Xingqiu) but in a way that needs a lot of FIXING? I guess she is one of those characters. And since she is Anemo Gorou, unless you use either Wanderer or Xiao, there is no point in using her...

Also having a team member with 4 piece Scholar Set on your team can Generate Energy for Faruzan aswell, since she is a Bow User she benefits greatly from the effect making her more efficient to boost your main Anemo. 😉

I only just used Bennett a few months ago and raised him to level 90 + C1, and many people say "don't activate his C6, because that stops reactions from happening". I just got Faruzan today from the Sumeru event, and looks like I'm gonna have to beat up "Light Guiding Tetrahedron" 20 times to get Faruzan to level 90, then do a lot of talent grinding for her and then get an artefact set for her. That's gonna take a while. And I still haven't started using Sucrose yet, and Sucrose is at C3.

i love your takeys

Unplayable at c0. Got it.

i always feel constellated after watching a zy0nix video

Tbh running 3 anemos would be more bearable if there was a good option for single target: Like, Wanderer/Heizou triple anemo with Venti works really well, but is not the same case against bosses or when you run Xiao, who already has good AOE, the only thing that comes remotely close is Heizou. I wouldn't be mad if they just released an anemo Fischl/Albedo, where you have more than 100% uptime off field, but no AOE, would synergize well with Faruzan to the same degree Albedo and Gorou work well, and also work with units that have lots of field time like Cyno or Xiao.

It took me 150 wishes just to get C2 Faruzan. I'll be like at C3 Scara by the time I manage to get C6.

My friend challenge me to pull everytime i hear "c6" and "energy recharge" while watching this video, i took it, and now i have c17 faruzan.

I never watched you stream on twitch but I’m dying too

Most zyoxx video ever

It seemed like Mihoyo likes creating more and more unusable characters. The only usable 4-star character that seemed usable is Layla for her shield. Collei has dendro application problem. Candice requires a lot of uptimes. Dori needs to move in circles to apply electro. And Faruzan has energy, crowd control & charge shot problem. The only last awesome 4-star character is Kuki. With dendro hyperbloom, she really shines as a 4-star on par with Bennett, Xiangling & Xingxiu. My Kuki at level 77 with 794 EM can deal 17k damage per hyperbloom seed.

Not a xiao main, but you guys deserved better ...

Her c6 pull looks really fun to play with. If i had her on c6 i would probably mess around with some random fun teams. Maybe plop her in a nilou nahida team to see how that pull combos with that for example.

I just got Faruzan today and I remembered that the community is talking about 'Zyox Xiao' here and there whenever Xiao or anemo support is mentioned

I've got C3 Faruzan and Scaramouche on the first day of their banner, but because I have no self control (and I saved for him for a long time) now I have C6 Faruzan and C2 Scara. And yes, unfortunately the difference with her constellations is very noticeable. I think she's overall comfortable to use (excluding ER issues) even at C0 but C1 and C2 really enhance that comfort. And then of course C6 is like a patch to her whole kit. I use her with my ER cracked Noblesse that gives 136 on its own and, since I have C6, I could switch Fav for Fading Twilight for more dmg (and because my Fav bows are already used by multiple characters and FT was rotting uselessly). Now I have ~260 ER and next Abyss I'm gonna test if it's not an overkill

another thing abt faruzan is that she's actually a pretty good support for heizou!

I have Faruzan, she’s at c6. So I will build her soon. Once I’m happy with my build on Wanderer. Also, I got her first at c5 while pulling for wanderer. Then a few days after I said eh let’s try and one pull she what I get and got her c6

I had C6 Yanfei before this banner and got like 5-6 more of her and a bunch of Fav Greatswords. Only wound up with C2 Faruzan and I'm done with this banner so I don't accidentally get C1 Wanderer. These goofily C6 weighted 4-stars wouldn't be such an issue if you didn't waste rolls on characters you already maxed (2 to 5 starglitter is hardly adequate compensation).

I have a C6 Faruzan (and C6 Scara so his damage is higher too but anyways-) but I used her at C0 before I unlocked her cons and the difference in her damage as well as the damage coming out of Scara from the buffing was INSANE. It's a shame that newer 4*'s are becoming increasingly constellation dependent because not everyone has the capability to spend money just to have a usable support and character in general. Definitely a love/hate relationship lol I agree with you there

I don't even care about the 40% crit dmg increase. Her main biggest problem is her burst energy cost or her particel generation

Just pulled her along with nahida and was wondering if I should build her but i guess i will have to go without an anemo chara for a while longer. Nice video 👍 👍 👍 👍

As we go further more & more char's be built around those requirement - either heavy cons depended or support including 4 star

I see a lot of the content creators say that she's good at C0 and that's not true. Yes Sara and Gorou is good at C0 since their base kit works fine with inconvenience but faruzan is an another level. She also need so much investment to be viable unlike Sara or Gorou.

Faruzan is definitely a support.

Will you do guides for Candace or Collei?

I've been trying to use her with Xiao and so for the rest of the team done Jean and Bennett for the sake of having extra anemo particles, plenty of healing for Xiao and the Benny buff

she’s like the sara to raiden, but both need c6 💀

The only way Hoyo gonna "fix her" is either a Weapon event or Artifact set catered to her

My faruzan (C2, 253% ER) usually has her burst after one rotation with a team of wanderer, raiden and yelan. Guess it depends who’s on your team as raiden and yelan are both er depending characters

From personal experience I suggest running her with fav bow and yun Jin with fad lance it helps with energy a lot and I only have 180 er rn
