Summary
Results from an interestingGenshin Impactteam competition have once again proven that Furina is one of the best supports in the game.Genshin Impacthas a fairly simple combat system that requires players to use different characters in their team composition and combine their abilities to trigger various elemental reactions.
While most gacha games rely heavily on DPS units to handle most of the damage dealing against different types of enemies,Genshin Impact’s supports are often the main assets in many parties. When it comes to supportive units, Archons are usually considered S-tier due to their versatility and ability to fit into most team compositions.
A Reddit user named tracer4b shared an interesting chart showing results from a recent competition called the Whale DPR Cup, where players competed to achieve the fastest time in defeating an enemy with over 20 million HP. The competition had a few simple rules: players were not allowed to break the enemy’s shield, use macros or mods, or employ any pre-stacking mechanics likeGenshin Impact’s Bond of Life. The fastest time featured a team composition with Mualani, Furina, Xilonen, and Xiangling. These four characters managed to maintain an impressive average DPS of 1.14 million. This team composition relied primarily on one elemental reaction, Vaporize, triggered by combining Hydro and Pyro.
Genshin Impact’s Furina Is Extremely Powerful
The most interesting aspect of the results is that all the top eight teams featured Lady Furina, also known as the Hydro Archon. Since her release, Furina has been one of themost popular characters inGenshin Impact, thanks to her Archon Quest, which many consider the best story arc in the game so far. Additionally, Furina is likely the most powerful Hydro support in the game due to her versatile kit.
She is the only character who can swap between the Pneuma and Ousia energy types, allowing her to constantly shift between offensive and defensive playstyles. Unfortunately, players who want to get Furina on their roster will have to wait a couple of months since she was recently featured on a Limited Character Banner. Many fans hope thatGenshin Impact’s upcoming Natlan Archonwill have similar characteristics to Fontaine’s leader.
Several comments have also pointed out that the recently released Xilonen has a high presence in the competition’s top-performing team compositions. Many players regard Xilonen’s release as a new era forGeo users inGenshin Impact. Unlike most Geo characters, Xilonen’s kit allows her to adapt perfectly to her party members, applying various buffs while simultaneously reducing enemies' resistance.
