@@cabemanis142 it's painted so that it looks glowing, i mean even if u don't do anything (not using skill/burst) it would still have that colour unlike i.e. zhognli or raiden whose clothes will flow only if they use skill/burst
Furina is not an archon but what she has done as a human no other archon can ever do. Furina is the epitome of the highest willpower that no one can possess.
@Officialbluestalien focalors split her divinity and her humanity, her humanity is Furina, or divinity is Focalors who was executed, meaning Furina is By technicality an archon without archon abilities, downside is she doesn’t know her backstory so she is by logic human
@Officialbluestalien Focalors is gone for good. She destroyed not only her divine essence but the divine throne that made her a God to begin with. She will live on as a human in Furina, but all that's left is just that -- the human Furina who Focalors always wanted to become, but never could due to her duty as an archon. There will likely never be another Hydro archon, for that authority was returned to its rightful owner -- the primordial dragon sovereign of water.
i actually felt so bad for furina and i didn't wanter her to lose her "archon title" but atlest she is free from the curse andi am happy for that she can freely live as a normal human being but still she spent 500 years to save her nation just like a archon so i really want her to be archon 🥺❤
She never lost her archon title though. She was never the hydro archon, it was always Focalors who was the hydro Archon. As they say, you cannot lose what you don't have.
In my eyes as well as the other archons, she is the hydro archon. Her resolve and everything she went through deserves more praise. Plus Focalors is technically her, so the only reason she isn’t an archon is because her divinity (Focalors) is gone.
Having an Archon title is overrated. Even the Archons themselves don't want it coz they don't want nothing to do with celestia. Let Furina be Furina, a mortal human with a vision. She doesn't have to be an Archon to be great.
genshin always has these god tier details, (spoilers from here on) like her hair only gives the illusion of glowing because of her dress (fits perfectly with the whole archon act she was forced into for 500 years), how her vision actual glows since its a real one unlike zhonglis and ventis, just everything about genshins details makes me go crazy
@@whiteangel1138Didn't Ei said that she wanted to have a duel with her reflection for centuries, in her own head like a lunatic, while Inazuma is left to its own luck? 💀. I don't think she's the one to have a word with anybody, lol.
Furina isn't the Hydro Archon but we can all agree that Furina is the only thing that remains of Focalors (just like Nahida is what's left of Rukkhadevata) and let's not talk about that absolute dedication/sense of duty trait that characterized both the divine and the human part. That is enough for me to consider her as a Honorary Archon or the "adopted child" for the memers/family trope lovers 😂
Imho, Furina is more of an archon than Focalors. Focalors did Jack shit other than sitting on her god titled ass watching Furina suffer for 500 fucking years doing what was supposed to be *FOCALORS FUCKING JOB*. So in my mind, Furina is the archon, and Focalors is a fucking pussy who just wanted to make her human half suffer alone, with no one to confide in or trust, for 500 years before unaliving herself. Would you be able to what Furina has done for 500 years, LET ALONE 100 OR 10?! I would go insane having to keep a secret like that with no one to confide in. Just look at her at the end of the archon quest. She was so done with it and everything that her whole world basically imploded on itself. Hence why furina is more of an archon than Focalors will ever be
I`m happy for her and also sad that the people of Fontain don`t know what really happened to Furina and Focalor, so that the guilt of Furina will vanish and she can enjoy her life as a human, but Neuvillette will be sad to see his companion Furina, whom his side for 500 yrs just to die of old age, and he will experience the pain that Morax endured. I may be self-centered but I want Furina to live long and be on her side with Neuvillette.
Neuvilette without furina for a long time would definitely feel the same way with morax. And i hope he would also repeat lines like "Primordial sea water tastes the same as i remember but where are those who share the memory?"
I feel like still there's something missing incomplete and the main archon quest is not over yet I feel like we'll gaet an interlude chapter Also I do feel like she's still gonna get a second story quest for some reason
@@vladianchis1580 "archon" characters always get their second chapter around the same point in a main version They always result in a new trounce domain as well. Zhongli had the quest that unlocked Azhdaha. Raiden shogun had the quest that unlocked Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto Nahida had the quest that unlocked Guardian of Apep's Oasis They all either got added in X.5 or X.6. So following this trend would indicate we'd get Furina's second story quest and a new trounce domain in about 3/4 updates.
The thing is, in the beginning furina and focalor is one. When Focalor decide to separate her divinity(means her personality)from her body and spirits, she leaving behind a non personality body and spirits thus Furina born in order to fill that piece. They are one body and one soul, but different personality. And why she didn't have the shiny hair thingy is because the power of hydro archon isn't on her. But on Focalors, and she gives it back to neuvillete. Meaning that the shiny hair color is a clue that the archon is using their power(Their original power, combined with dragon sovereign power). Then, that's why Neuvillete called every other archon besides Focalor&Furina is A power stealer.
Furina personallity didn't born after Focalors separated her divinity. Focalors describef furina as her previous self before becoming Archon. She said furina is naive as same as we were before becoming archon.
@@FireflyAr26710 so like furina is focalor’d previous naive human self but only her memories and power that furina has is only from that of her human self (before becoming an archon - focalors) ?? Sorry i ot confused from the quest
@@chilzmapewwep2671 actually no. Focalor separate her divinity from her body&spirit(Her body alrdy got turn into human). Since a body cannot survive without a personality, thus the body automatically creating Furina. Furina didn't get to know anything making her naive and bewildered as "Past Focalor" but, Furina adapt from her surroundings which is human, making her personality leaning towards human more than Focalor(since Focalor alrdy born as oceanid and got turn into human her personality isn't natural as any other human being, it's like only her body is human but her personality is still a divine being). And that's why Focalor happy when Furina is like a coward human being, because Furina is Focalor ideal human being.
Furina isn’t an archon that’s why Edit: (Spoiler) Furina was a human but then one day Forcalar aka the hydro archon in the mirror talks to her about the prophecy and that she need to pretend to be the hydro archon (for 500 years) to save Fontaine. Edit 2: Y’all I know I might be wrong in one point but this comment about me are about to explode
I guess her hair doesn't glow not because she's not an archon, but because she's just an ordinary human now. look at Neuvillette or the oceanid (human form) characters that have appeared, they are not archons but their hair can glow. So I think only elemental creatures or god-like creatures have glowing hair
Makes perfect sense why her hair doesn't glow. But will need to do the archon quest and her story quest first for it to make sense. That is actually a really neat small detail on their part to leave that out.
Furina is a mortal that acts as a god to protect her nation from calamity in the end the nation is saved and now she can freely do whatever she wants without being paranoid about secrets
She mentions that she's "not used to using a vision" and I note that she has one. Haven't played the quest yet either but it's looking like something happens to her abilities
Ppl I see on youtube are so angry they pulled for a human Furina but she is the honorary archon for her ultimate sacrifice and suffering for her people, I am glad I pulled her
Spoiler alert! We actually found out that she isnt the real archon, she just plays the role of an archon as the real archon do her job. She also experienced the same suffering both Nahida and Raiden did: loneliness. She has to keep up the act because if she became herself, her people judge her for what she is. I see alot of myself in Furina thats why she became my fav character after nahida. I know the pain when you have to keep up the act everyone wants you to be and not be yourself.
@@thetrollxd707 was she even informed about tricking celestia? All i remember is that she only knows that she has to keep her identity a secret to save Fontaine from the Prophecy. I dont remember Focalor mentioning to her that they have to trick Celestia and the reason why they have to use that method.
@@eihr267Furina was unaware of the plan. Focalors mentioned that to fool the Heavenly principles, she couldn't tell Furina the plan, otherwise they (who were looking at Furina thinking she was the actual archon) would've found out about it. In her words "in order to fool the Heavenly principles, one must fool themselves."
I SWEAR, BEFORE THE ACTUAL RELEASE, HER GAMEPLAY LEAKS MAKES HER HAIR ACTUALLY "GLOW" AND PULSE WHEN ULT IS READY. IT ALSO LOOKS BRIGHTER AND EASY TO NOTICE!
@@w3v3z "After they found out"? What, even between Hoyo employees they didnt share some info about the game to each other? Or are you implying that the recent AQ really made just a few days ago before 4.2 update?
@@vilaskatigar4080 Isn't that because MHY is well aware of the rampant leaks they somehow couldn't stop, so it would have been massive spoilers if they showed her actual state by then?
...Her hair was actually shining all the time (literally all the time she's on screen) in the archon quest till act 5 tho...Not spoiling act 5 however since everyone else in comment already did...
She’s not archon, that’s why. There is no current hydro archon And likely there won’t be another one soon Furina kinda deserves the archon title, she spent 500 years on a plan she didn’t know how to accomplish and if she failed she would ruin the nation she lives in
Focalors pretty much ended the hydro archon role from what I got, in order to give Neuvillette's power back to him. If that's the case then it means there will never be another hydro archon in Teyvat
@@frostyvoid827that’s not what happened. The title of hydro archon was destroyed, by killing herself and destroying the throne of the hydro Archon in the process, Focalors killed the Hydro Archon. And I’m not talking about the Hydro Archon as a person. No Focalors killed the Hydro Archon rank. By killing herself and destroying the throne she returned the Hydro Dragon Sovereigns powers back to Neuvilette. That doesn’t make Neuvilette a Hydro Archon because the title of Hydro Archon is no more. No it makes Neuvilette a fully fledged Hydro Dragon Sovereign. After all the original Hydro Dragon Sovereign was not an Archon either. Celestia created the Archon ranks by stealing the Dragon Sovereigns powers. So while the Hydro Archon came to be through the Hydro Sovereigns powers, that doesn’t mean, that the Hydro Sovereign is automatically an Archon.
@@frostyvoid827Focalors didn’t just kill the hydro archon (herself), the oratrice was meant to destroy the throne of the hydro archon, which means there can be no successive hydro archons. Otherwise, she would’ve just referred to the death sentence as “executing oneself”, rather than as destruction of the hydro archon’s seat of power. Besides, Neuvillette, being a dragon sovereign, cannot succeed an archon anyways due to logistical reasons. If he has absolute power over hydro, then he would be considered the hydro sovereign, not an archon; if he truly became the hydro archon, then he’d have abandoned the dragon sovereign’s seat of power, which (Assuming a dragon sovereign’s seat of power works in similar fashion to an archon’s) means that he must be dead as you can’t voluntarily stop being an archon (You can relinquish control over the nation like Zhongli/Venti but no one can take their place as they still hold authority over their respective elements given their elemental abilities). Also, the wiki refers to the hydro seat of power as destroyed and the hydro archon as nonexistent, reducing The Seven to six.
I love her burst cuz it's a stage that only she sees. It's her story, the act affects everyone, the lights shine above everybody, but nobody else knows she's acting. All the world is a stage!
If you do archon quest you understand Also if you do her story quest the '???' On her character profile will be revealed and also you understand of how she get hwr hydro powers
well i didn't do her quest yet, but I already figured it out (at the time I thought her vision is fake till i realized it was shining when her ult is full)
That's such good attention to detail- tho if you notice, there is a part of her oiufit that's still "glowing", or at least looks that way- and I love that. I also wonder if lore wise, the reason she's so powerful even as a human and not an archon, is a blessing left over from Focalor or even gifted by Neuvillete giving her her vision. As a way to say, "despite having been powerless the last 500 years, here is the power you deserved", as further compensation for what she endured alone. When she was revealed to be human, I finally noticed that unlike Raiden Shogun/Ei, who like Furina was known as the archon publicly, Furina was never displayed using her powers until she was made playable and given a vision- the attention to detail is amazing: it's also how I started to figure out of Furina was a puppet or not: puppets can have powers, clearly, when gifted by an archon who made them, no vision needed, yet Furina never used hydro. Such a small detail that was easily missed due to the chaos of th archon quests lol. Furina deserves her vision, and her unlimited water walking. She deserves even more then that. She deserves the world. I can't imagine how hard she must have fought... I wonder if the other archons will ever learn of this- and I hope they give her due respect. She deserves it.
Even on party set up, she doesnt have any special effect unlike nahida who has grass effect below her feet, zhongli with geo, venti with his wind and raiden with electrical purple ish.
In party selection menu u can see every archon has elemental particles effect around them while furina isn't already sus enough b4 doing archon quest biggest hint there
Furina changing hair length is absolutely a different level which have 2 forms, the black one " Ousia " and the white one " Pneuma " , and both of em have different elemental skill mechanics is just- PERFECT.
Spoiler ahead Her divine form, or the “real focalors” traded her divinity (and her life) for a vision for Furina while completing her mission (you’ll know what that is in the newest story quest) making Furina no longer an archon therefore no hair glow. Her hair instead simulates glowing like an archons by being bright because she always tried to act as an archon for her people, pretty neat character design. One unique thing about her though is that if you use Furina to jump out of the water she will have a trail of sparkles behind her
why does everyone always thinks Furina isn't the real Hydro Archon? it has been explained in the story that Furina is the Hydro archon (by technicality) since before becoming human, Focalors was one person... then she split herself Her divine self [Focalors] and her Human self [Furina]
They are debating so much, but furinas situation is that she is the very human version of focalor. I love to think that the “divinity” thats left on focalors body is the divinity’s conciousness and not the true focalor whom wishes she just became a human. I believ that focalor wish to become a true human came true when she became the archon by creating furina. Focalor may have not imported her memories to furina as she wants to furina to have no touch of any divinity.
I mean that is true, technically Furina was the Hydro Archon when Furina and Focalors used to be one but after Focalors split her divinity from Furina’s humanity, Furina has become a human. So she isn’t an Archon anymore after Focalors split herself from Furina.
Not everyone has had the time to play the latest Archon quest yet since it hasn't even gotten to the weekend as of time of writing. Also, there are apparently people that skip dialogue.
She is not though. The Hydro Archon no longer exists and never will, that was the point of the Quest. Her hair doesn't glow because she isn't the one who possesses the highest Authority over her Element. It belongs to Neuvillette. And, by the way, I'm not talking about the Gnosis. The highest Elemental Authority, has been stolen from Dragon Sovereigns and given to Archons. The Gnoses are remains of the third descender. The two are distinctly different from eachother. That's why the other nations' Archons still have glowing hair: the highest Authority over their element is still with them.
I think she deserved to treated like an archon. Even if she is not, she worked so hard for her people for years. I love furina ❤ THIS GIRL DESERVES THE BEST UNLIKE THE ARCHON WHO KILLED HER OWN PEOPLE
she is not the archon , how would you expect A HUMAN to have shiny hair.... THE DIVINE FOCALOR is DEAD and furina is now a NORMAL HUMAN BEING out of her curse, if you play her story quest SHE WILL GET HER VISION in that so yeaa she is now a vision holder human being
His hair glows only when you activate his passive, otherwise it's just normal mode. And another thing, I don't think it is his hair? But I don't know exactly what it is, it's kinda like a horn but bent? 😅😅😅 Also, part of his clothing is glowing too when he activates his passive
So many idiots spoiling in the comments yet they can't even spoil properly 😂. Furina IS the Hydro Archon, by technicality that is, as she is the human part of Focalors who herself is basically the divinity. Focalors split herself into two, the divinity and the human part with her naming the human part Furina. Focalors dies and the Hydro Archon throne is now completely gone, making Furina the last one of sorts despite having no powers.
She technically wasn't ever the hydro archon. Only focalors was the hydro archon. Furina is just her "humanity" with a regular human body that was cursed until focalors died
Focalors: I placed Furina to play a part in pretending she's an Archon. You: Furina is the Archon!! The last to be the Hydro Archon ever is Focalors not Furina. Furina is as you said just a human being and not even an Archon in the first place. She's actually her own person
You're the idiots here💀, Furina NEVER became an archon when Focalor make her in the first place, she only got the role of an archon but doesnt have any archon related power. Plus Furina and Focalor both have their own consciousness so thats why Furina isnt an archon since Focalor died with her full archon power and with her own consciousness. So basically Furina is just a normal human being with her own consciousness in the first place💀
Our current playable Furina isn't archon Focalors; she's a human. I've repeated this several times in other sections: think of it Focalors is the oceanid,, and Furina is the mimic creature. Or closer example, if you plant tomatoes by cutting their stems, new plants would still be tomatoes but NOT the original source tomatoes anymore, there's a possibility that they wouldn't look exactly the same or taste the same either, they would probably have different traits.
SPOILERS AHEAD: For people saying "Furina isn't an Archon": Neither is Venti nor Zhongli. Raiden technically isn't the one ruling Inazuma either, a physical vessel is. When you pull for Raiden, her playable unit is the Vessel, not the Archon. The only real playable Archon is Nahida, the rest are either retired and gnosis-less, or don't have a body of their own. Furina is the human expression of Focalors, and guarded over Fontaine for years. She's as much of an Archon as Venti, Zhongli and Raiden's Vessel are. Furina also isn't "a regular human", she's literally a gnosis-free version of Focalors, is not like she was a random girl from a working family, that Focalors found and asked for a favor, lol; she is of divine origin, she is a part of Focalors. Not to mention she does have a vision and is capable elemental manipulation, like the current "Archons" are. It should be clear by now that the story in Genshin revolves around the idea Archons falling one by one, and being stripped of their former glory. Focalors becoming Furina, and erradicating her divine half is in line with this.
Brother, she is 100% human now. She "was" not a regular human before, she was focalors "humanlike" part (remember focalors was oceanid before godhood, then just like oceanid could mimic and breed creatures, she was able to make a humanlike part of her). Then focalors died, furina now is a completely separated entity, a true fontainian human being, free of immortal curse and original sins after neuvilette releases all fontainians from sins (furina's included). Then she acquires the vision, something she actually deserves. Now, compared to our playable archons, they already have the elemental power before archonhood, and what we are playing with right now are their vessels, which are not a separated human entity (unlike furina which is a true human with visions). I agree with the fall or archons idea though.
Delusional💀 Furina NEVER became an archon in the first place. She was the human ver of Focalor only when Focalor was still alive and now when Focalor died she has became a different person and a normal human being who has no relation to Focalor
@@aiko-channie You can write it on bigger caps if you need to cope. Furina for all intents and purposes assumed the role of, was recognized as, and was the human form of, the Hydro Archon. If it bothers you, that's a you problem.
@@DamianHunter-nx2gm not you being blind and delusional when hoyoverse already stated that Furina was never an archon and shes just only playing as an fake archon💀 she was the human ver of Focalor in the past but now shes just a normal human being with her own consciousness and doesnt have any archon power💁♀️
@@DamianHunter-nx2gm and wdym my problem when the actual story and fact r like that💀 more like a you problem since you're turning a blind eye and being delulu🥺💁♀️
Furina isn't and archon, apparently she is just a mere human which i think was created by focalor (the real hydro archon), but i am not sure about that
She is not "created" she is literally Focalor's human body and soul. Focalors herself is just the divinity, she separated herself and named the human part Furina.
Focalors was ORIGINALLY one person until one day she thought of a way to save Fontaine. She IS the Hydro Archon, but she had separated her divinity (the god Focalors) with her humanity (Furina) hence why Furina's burst isn't special bcs she's just like everybody else
Neuvillette has shiny hair when you do his attacks. Though Furina isn’t the Hydro Archon, she endured 500 years of torture, with willpower unattainable by most.
Fun fact : I was looking at the character archive and looked on the side where it shows her b-day and desc and job or whatever and where it shows most characters (or in this case gnosis) visions it dosn't show she has a gnosis and same with Neuvillette and his vision so MY theory (prob not true so don't get excited) is that Hoyo wants a little surprise this archon quest and Neuvillette is the real hydro archon and not furina idk tho I haven't played the archon quest and I started playing after the sumeru quest was released so idk if it has happened before or not so I can't comfirn. Just a theory tho and have a nice day/night!
An explanation of sorts (very SPOILERy, so be aware) Furina's hair doesn't glow because she doesn't have the Elemental Authority over Hydro, she never did. Her powers come from her vision only (she was unable to use hydro at all before getting said vision, so it is a fact). Said Elemental Authority currently belongs to Neuvillette, and before was within the Hydro Archon, Focalors. Now, it is very important to note that Elemental Authority is NOT Gnosis. Elemental Authorities were taken from the Dragon Sovereigns and given to Archons. Gnoses are remains of the Third descender and are alien to Teyvat. Which is why the Archons of previous nations have glowing hair: although they gave up their Gnoses, they still possess their respective Elemental Authorities. They are still Archons.
@@Axell-_she’s technically still the archon, even if she is a puppet. Ei did create her anyway and made the shogun take her place so.. )Scara glows too. Not his hair but he has an electro symbol on the back of his neck iirc that glows during his elemental skill and/or burst, so ig it’s a ei puppet creation thing)
*SPOILER* . . . . . Curious how a nation that was so established by having their archon living among them now is an archonless nation (Neuvillette might take the highest spot now in Fontaine but he's not an Archon)
Didn’t Focalors technically doom Fontaine by killing herself and the Hydro Archon title? I mean because of that Fontaine became a godless nation. And we all know what Celestia does to godless nations.
@@Starberry7kanriha or what ever it is was a nation that didnt belive in any god fontaine still belive in the hydro archon (and also dont forget neuvillette being there )
@@fxer2103 that doesn't change the fact that Fontaine is now a godless nation. They can't exactly worship a dead God because said God is dead. How do you worship something that doesn't exist?
@@fxer2103 but they DON'T have a god. The god is literally dead. So there is no god they can even have to begin with. There is no god to worship, love, hate or even just ignore. There is no Hydro Archon. It's not even like with Mondstadt where everyone knows that there is an Archon but no one has seen the Archon in centuries. No it's completely different in Fontaine because they DON'T have an Archon anymore. No active Archon like in Sumeru, nor an absentee one like in Mondstadt. There is absolutely no !Archon in Fontaine. Your comment makes no sense.
Even though she's just a human , in everyones hearts, she is the hydro archon. Even if her divinity is gone , I wouldn't be surprised if she again ascends to godhood just because what she did for her people.
well yes and no yes being: personality & divinity wise they are different no being: Focalors and Furina were once one person before she decided to split her divinity and humanity
You know when we all git excited cuz finally another archon. But the hydro archon died and we only got her (ideal self but not actually her and is human) I felt like hoyo scammed us😂.. No archon features in visual. No voice lines related to other archons (she doesn't know them😭). In other word its like we just pulled for some other 5star character-like kokomi/nilou. I'm happy with her kit though. She really has an archon type kit that is very unique but when you already know the whole truth about archon quest, it's kinda uh... Idk how to explain. It literally has a psychological effect 😂. Anyways I guess hydro chars (some of them) already possessed some unique skill, (mona-can sprint, kokomi, can walk water even its limited, then here's furina, can switch alignment and can also walk on water) they're already special. Imagine if we really got Focalors. She might be op🤔. No wonder why hoyoverse killed her.
i think furina is like the shogun situation, not the archon itself but someone that was meant to take the role of it so then we play with it (except the electro archon still alive😭)
Her hair was glowing during I think 4.0 Archon Quests, but now… Neuvillette’s “hair” otherwise is glowing when he gains the full stacks; of his passive…
They abolished the title of hydro archon, it doesn’t exist anymore that’s why furina nor Neuvillette have glowing hair or the element effect in the team menu
Focalor did say that she separated her divinity from her body and spirit which we know who to be Furina. It seems having this "divinity" is what makes the other archons' hair glow.
She is better then any archon anyway. While Raiden is my main and always in my heart Furina just hits differently. This precious human being must be protected from all those haters that were bulying her for such a long time. Shame on them. She is best character story wise and any other way
