Furina turned out to be an avid support role, unlike the other Gods of Genshin Impact. However, she still strikes an immense impression on players with the proof being her revenue recently. It is no coincidence that she attributes 96% of her double banner with Baizhu. Recently, many players and game reviewers have taken their time to compliment her, calling her names like the best God in Genshin Impact and the greatest Archon as of late.

Let's see the impact that Furina is offering the game, both on strategic and story sides.

Furina skill set: proved to be very useful both for exploring and combats

For those unknown, Furina can constantly heal while also boosting damage for allies without having to appear on the battlefield. With this support skill, she has proven to be one of the top powerhouses for players to overcome challenges in Spiral Abyss.

Another feature that makes Furina the best God is players find it easy to solve puzzles especially in Fontaine thanks to her elemental usage versatility. She can quickly swap between Ouisa and Pneuma alignment, letting players lessen switching up their team composition.

Furina Can Walk On The Water Surface
Furina can be very helpful both for world exploration and combats.

If we used to be afraid to swim as we could drown at anytime possible, Furina skills also make it much more seamless to travel across the map. With her active skill, players can literally walk on the water's surface.

Furina's elemental skill also has an unlimited working time even without a Constellation or artifact. This feature is useful and essential not only in Fontaine but also in other regions across Teyvat.

With all these benefits, it's easy to understand why her banner is good on sales. Players who have not pulled for her may also take the Archon into consideration before her exclusive event comes to an end.

Furina's back story: pitiful yet heroic

While most Archons in Genshin Impact feel somehow distant from their citizens and players themselves, Furina is indeed more closely related than we think. As you go deeper into the land of Fontaine, you will meet Furina as the god of the city. She first appears quite bratty and proud, only for us to find out the ugly truth behind her 500-year story.

Just like some characters suspected, Furina is indeed no god. She is the human incarnation of the actual deity - Focalors. Focalors had separated her divine and human counterparts, leaving Furina with the former form and some spotty memories. The people of Fontaine thought Furina was the real god for 500 years and she had to play that part in the opera that felt like her cage.

Furina And Focalors
Furina backstory is being praised by many players.

Afterwards, Focalors sacrificed herself and Furina is free from her curse. She can live her life as a human which is what Focalars wanted to do in the first place.

Ei also captures it perfectly in her "About Furina" statement. She draws a parallel between Furina's 500-year role and her own 500-year battle against the Raiden Shogun puppet in the Plane of Euthymia.

During the duel, Ei wielded the full might of an Archon, while Furina remained a mere human throughout her performance. Surprisingly, even the Electro Archon recognizes Furina's determination, stating that "her willpower has indeed reached the level of a god." It's hard to dispute that.

Although Nahida managed to set a new standard for Genshin Impact's storytelling, it has been pleasing to see Furina's arc match and at times even surpass it.
