Faruzan
Faruzan is a near-mandatory piece for any Anemo DPS like Wanderer or Xiao — her Anemo buff is strong enough to nearly double the team's damage. The one thing to nurse is ENERGY: prioritize Energy Recharge above all, usually 220–240% with two Anemo. The Favonius Warbow, free from a story quest, is her best early weapon. Push to Ascension 6 so her buff never drops; only after C6 should you pivot toward CRIT and damage pieces.

Teams for Faruzan
Faruzan's talents
Parthian Shot
Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, mighty winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow will deal Anemo DMG.
Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, hitting opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Wind Realm of Nasamjnin
While in the Manifest Gale state, Faruzan's next fully charged shot will consume this state and will become a Hurricane Arrow that contains high-pressure currents. This arrow deals Anemo DMG based on the DMG of a fully charged Aimed Shot from "Normal Attack: Parthian Shot."
Pressurized Collapse
The Hurricane Arrow will apply a Pressurized Collapse effect to the opponent or character hit. This effect will be removed after a short delay, creating a vortex that deals AoE Anemo DMG and pulls nearby objects and opponents in. If the Hurricane Arrow does not hit any opponent or character, it will create a Pressurized Collapse effect at its point of impact.
The vortex DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
The winds of truth buffet the spirits of those who seek truth, dispersing the miasma of preconception.
The Wind's Secret Ways
While the Dazzling Polyhedron persists, it will continuously move along a triangular path. Once it reaches each corner of that triangular path, it will unleash 1 more Whirlwind Pulse.
Whirlwind Pulse
·When the Whirlwind Pulse is unleashed, it will apply Perfidious Wind's Bale to nearby opponents, decreasing their Anemo RES.
·The Whirlwind Pulse will also apply Prayerful Wind's Benefit to all nearby party members when it is unleashed, granting them an Anemo DMG Bonus.
One must have respect for the unknown wisdom that one might find hidden in ancient ruins.
Impetuous Flow

Tomes Light the Path
Combat Rotation
- Open with Elemental Skill (Wind Realm of Nasamjnin): it deploys a polyhedron that deals AoE Anemo DMG and puts Faruzan into the Manifest Gale state; the Skill's CD is only 6 seconds so it can be reused very quickly.
- While in Manifest Gale, fire one Charged Shot to consume the state and turn it into a Hurricane Arrow, dealing damage and applying Pressurized Collapse which pulls nearby enemies together.
- Unleash Burst (The Wind's Secret Ways) for 80 Energy, lasting 12 seconds: the Dazzling Polyhedron moves along a triangular path and each Whirlwind Pulse decreases enemy Anemo RES by 30% while granting the whole party an Anemo DMG Bonus.
- Right after the Burst goes off, swap to your main DPS (ideally an Anemo character or one that benefits from Anemo-driven grouping) to take advantage of the fresh Anemo DMG buff and RES shred.
- Let the main DPS unleash their combo for the full 12-second duration of Faruzan's Burst to maximize damage inside the buff window.
- Once the main DPS combo ends or the Burst buff is about to expire, swap back to Faruzan and use her Skill again (now off cooldown) for extra chip damage and enemy grouping if needed.
- Repeat the cycle: every 20 seconds (Burst CD) swap into Faruzan to reapply the Burst support, and weave in the Skill whenever it's off cooldown thanks to its short 6-second CD.
- Faruzan is a support/sub-DPS whose job is to buff Anemo DMG and shred RES, not a main carry, so keep her on-field time minimal — just enough to fire Skill/Burst before handing the field back to the main DPS.
Faruzan constellations
Faruzan can fire off a maximum of 2 Hurricane Arrows using fully charged Aimed Shots while under the effect of a single Manifest Gale created by Wind Realm of Nasamjnin.
The duration of the Dazzling Polyhedron created by The Wind's Secret Ways is increased by 6s.
Increases the Level of Wind Realm of Nasamjnin by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
The vortex created by Pressurized Collapses will restore Energy to Faruzan based on the number of opponents hit: If it hits 1 opponent, it will restore 2 Energy for Faruzan. Each additional opponent hit will restore 0.5 more Energy for Faruzan.
A maximum of 4 Energy can be restored to her per vortex.
Increases the Level of The Wind's Secret Ways by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Characters affected by The Wind's Secret Ways' Prayerful Wind's Benefit have 40% increased CRIT DMG when they deal Anemo DMG. When the active character deals DMG while affected by Prayerful Wind's Benefit, they will apply Pressurized Collapse to the opponent damaged. This effect can be triggered once every 3s. This CD is shared between all party members.

Birthday
Happy birthday! Here's a small toy for you. It's an assembly of a number of miniature puzzle mechanisms — you can find a button and lever here, as well as a roller to the side. Just play with it however you want, and I'll take care of it if it breaks. Hmph, and don't think I'm treating you like a child. Everyone, regardless of age, could use a moment of happiness and relaxation.
Self-Introduction
Hello
Here's the Akademiya's Distinguished Scholar Award, this is the Sumeru Puzzlers' League Lifetime Achievement Award, and there's something from the Synopsium on Ruin Mechanisms... What do you think? Got any interest in becoming my student? Ahem, just as a note, I am from the Haravatat Darshan. You'll get lost if you try to find me in the halls of Kshahrewar.
About Faruzan: Senior Scholar
What is it that you'd like to learn more about? Different forms of pressure-based puzzle mechanisms? The base layer design of Elemental Monuments? Huh, wait... Did you forget to call me "Madam Faruzan" just now when you asked your question?
About Faruzan: A Mentor's Struggles
I want my students to truly enjoy the study of ancient texts. If I can't find anyone like that, then I just won't take on any students! Ah, right, about finding someone to help me with my work... It's pretty reasonable for students to help their mentors when they have some free time, right? I mean, even I did that back in the day...
More About Faruzan: I
Interested in my story? Well, Madam Faruzan's life started more than a hundred years ago, and her story covers as much ground as some major academic publications. Still curious? Good, willingness to learn is an indispensable trait for scholars. You've got one foot in the door.
More About Faruzan: II
Solving a truly ancient mechanical puzzle requires deciphering a deluge of ancient texts. I don't mean to boast, but they're probably on a completely different level from the ones you've solved on your adventures. Oh? Don't believe me? Then why don't you pick out some of the hardest ones you've done and show them to me? If I spend more than a half hour on any of them, it's your win.
More About Faruzan: III
If I didn't accidentally lose myself in that King Deshret ruin, I could have contributed even more to Sumeru... Thankfully, my manuscripts and treatises were still put to good use. Those freeloading Kshahrewar used them to establish the fundamentals of the study of mechanisms. Haha, I'm not called "Madam Faruzan" for nothing, you know.
More About Faruzan: IV
As a scholar, I should have the courage to accept failure and shoulder all of its consequences. I never wanted anyone to pity me, whether it be back then or right now. Also, don't forget that I eventually managed to solve that final puzzle by my own power, and freed myself from that accursed place... Instead of pity, shouldn't people feel encouragement and inspiration from my story?
More About Faruzan: V
My field of study is nowhere as esteemed as it used to be, and Haravatat has refused me funding more than once. Every now and then, Kshahrewar will try to invite me to teach under their banner, and the conditions they've offered me are truly out of this world. More students, a higher spending limit... I still turned them down, however. No matter what, someone has to keep studying niche topics, so we can expand the frontiers of humanity's knowledge.
About Us: Student Recruitment
Serious question: why don't you become my student? I'll tailor research topics to your needs and thoroughly explain everything you need to know. We can focus on practical ways to unlock modern-age puzzle mechanisms, and build on that with some work on the deciphering of associated texts. I've walked the walk, so I can promise you that everything you'd learn would be a great boon for your future adventures. There's no reason not to trust me!
About Us: Solving Puzzles
When I was trapped, I spent so long solving puzzles that I became numb to even the flow of time. Now that I'm free again, I no longer have to face the puzzles of the world all on my own. Maybe we'll be able to spend some fun times together copying inscriptions, deciphering runes, and solving puzzles... Every minute should be savored.
Thoughts About Other Characters
Tighnari
One of my favorite projects is researching rainforest ruins. Ah right, I should ask Tighnari to come with me next time. It's always fun to travel with the living copy of the Rainforest Survival Guide. I must say, even though I've been around for more than a hundred years, he's seen far more varieties of fungi than I've had the chance to taste...
Collei
Ah, Collei... She's respectful toward her elders, diligent, and has a hard-working attitude — truly the perfect student! Children like her deserve all the affection and praise. Tighnari really has no reason to be as strict as he has been. Hmph... I need to find a way to win her over... Ahem! What I meant to say was, as a senior scholar, I should find ways to improve the learning environment of younger students.
Cyno
Cyno's jokes are composed using modern words and language patterns, but I still struggle to decipher any hidden meaning from his grammar and prose... Huh? It's all just literal meanings and homophones? Really...? Then, those jokes don't have any substance at all...
Layla
Sometimes, she'll lower her head and keep her distance when she sees me. However, she's all smiles and greetings at night... I don't quite get her. Anyway, most kids in Rtawahist are geniuses. A quirk or two isn't anything to concern myself with.
Kaveh
Kaveh's a good kid with great potential. I had a casual chat with him once about some principles of mechanism construction. Hmm, how should I put it... He's too much of an artsy romantic, but at least he has some original ideas, which is rare nowadays. I've heard that he's fallen on some hard times, so I'm planning to invite him out for a good meal once my funding gets approved. It'll happen soon, promise.
Nilou
I remember her; she's a courteous girl. I've only been to the Grand Bazaar a few times, but she's already remembered my name and face, and she's even tried to get the others to stop arguing with me. She really gets it! All youngsters should be more like her.
Sethos
Oh? You mean the new arrival? Yes, didn't he show up at the perfect time! I still don't know which Darshan he belongs to, but I seem to run into him all the time these days: out on the streets, in shops, at restaurants... It's like he's everywhere at once. The way he nods his head when he talks, it's like... oh, I don't know, like... a little puppy, yes. Eloquent young fellow, too. Seems like a good egg. Anyway, are you acquainted with him? You must encourage him to enroll in my classes. Tell him Madam Faruzan will take good care of him.
Hobbies & Personality
Faruzan's Hobbies
Some greedy merchants and mercenaries try to hawk "antiques" of unknown origin in Port Ormos at exorbitant prices, but their goods are nothing more than secondhand trash. Hmph, I bust their scams whenever I catch sight of one. My skill in antiques appraisal is probably second only to the gods of the Seven.
Faruzan's Troubles
A hundred years ago, my greatest source of frustration was my inability to decipher the information engraved on ruin monuments. Now, nothing irritates me more than the struggle to get funding. Ugh, it's making my head hurt again...
Favorite Food
You can improve the aroma of batter several times over if you bake it in the oven. Next time we're in the kitchen, I'll make some for you so you can get a taste of the flavors from my time. Since it'll be my super secret ancient recipe, I bet you won't find anything like it in the whole Grand Bazaar.
Least Favorite Food
There's a new dessert that they call Padisarah Pudding. Who decided to create it? Shouldn't puddings be made with rice? These culinary innovations are really getting out of hand. Thank you, but there's really no need to share it with me, even if you made it yourself.
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
Ha, aren't you an energetic youngster? So enthusiastic, even about collecting materials.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
Oh? Have you unlocked some kind of mechanism? A continuous current of power is streaming in.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
Huh, you're really putting a lot into this... Don't worry, it's my responsibility as your senior to guide and protect you. I won't let you go astray.
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
The past one hundred years have only afforded me the glimpse of a spindrift floating upon the endless sea of wisdom. As for the fields and puzzles that remain to be studied and explored... It'll be up to you and I to reveal their secrets.
Receiving a Gift
Receiving a Gift: I
*munch* This is tastier than the food at most historic establishments. Could it be that the culinary arts haven't stopped improving?
Receiving a Gift: II
The appearance, smell, and taste of this dish are all excellent. Do you read a lot of professional cooking books?
Receiving a Gift: III
Hm? This indescribable taste... Are you trying to get me to figure out what this is?

Strengths & Weaknesses
- The core mechanic (via Lost Wisdom of the Seven Caverns) scales with ATK — the standard stat line on most damage weapons, no build pivot needed.
- 4★ (Bow) — obtainable via the standard wish/banner, no need to pull on a limited banner.
- The Normal Attack (via Parthian Shot) already deals innate Anemo DMG from the start — no need to wait on the Elemental Skill to apply the element.
- Since it scales with ATK (via Lost Wisdom of the Seven Caverns), it competes for high-ATK weapons/ATK% pieces with other ATK-based DPS on the team — no niche-stat advantage.
- The ascension stat is just plain ATK% — no built-in CRIT/EM/DMG Bonus advantage like many other characters, everything has to be rolled from scratch on artifacts.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
