When Furina is the sole Hydro character in a team, she typically requires 200% or more Energy Recharge (ER) to consistently activate her Elemental Burst.
Furina's Elemental Burst, "Grand Ballet," is crucial for her damage amplification and team-wide healing, but it has a high energy cost. In a solo Hydro setup, she is the only source of Hydro particles, meaning she generates significantly fewer particles for herself compared to teams with multiple Hydro characters. This necessitates a much higher ER stat to ensure she can burst off cooldown and maintain her valuable buffs.
Furina's Energy Recharge Requirements Overview
The exact ER needed can vary slightly depending on factors like team composition (which other characters are generating particles), enemy types, and specific rotations, but here's a general guideline for different Hydro configurations:
| Hydro Configuration | Energy Recharge (ER) Requirement |
|---|---|
| Solo Hydro | 200%+ |
| Double Hydro (1 Teammate Skill) | 180–210% |
| Double Hydro (2 Teammate Skills) | 150–170% |
| Double Hydro (Neuvillette) | 130–150% |
| Triple Hydro | 130–140% |
Understanding Why ER Varies
The substantial difference in ER requirements stems from the amount of Elemental Particles generated by the team:
- Solo Hydro: Furina generates all her own Hydro particles. Since Hydro particles grant more energy to Hydro characters, she benefits from her own generation, but it's often not enough without significant ER.
- Double Hydro: The presence of a second Hydro character, like Xingqiu, Yelan, or Kokomi, significantly increases the team's Hydro particle generation. This allows Furina to require less ER. The specific amount depends on whether the second Hydro character uses their Elemental Skill once or twice per rotation.
- Triple Hydro: With three Hydro characters, particle generation becomes abundant, drastically reducing Furina's individual ER needs.
Practical Tips for Managing Furina's ER
To ensure your solo Furina can consistently burst:
- Prioritize ER Substats: Focus on obtaining Energy Recharge from artifacts, especially on the Sands of Eon main stat if needed.
- Weapons with ER: Consider using weapons with an ER substat, such as Favonius Sword, Festering Desire (if applicable), or Fleuve Cendre Ferryman.
- Favonius Weapons on Teammates: Equip other team members with Favonius weapons (e.g., Favonius Lance on Zhongli, Favonius Bow on an Anemo character) to generate colorless particles that Furina can pick up.
- Strategic Rotations: Ensure you are consistently catching all particles generated by Furina and your teammates.
- Elemental Skill Usage: Use Furina's Elemental Skill ("Salon Solitaire") early in your rotation to generate particles throughout the fight.
Achieving the 200%+ ER threshold for solo Furina ensures she can reliably provide her powerful buffs, significantly enhancing your team's overall performance.
