Summary
With the new Arkhe energy mechanics, underwater exploration, and other puzzles throughout the Fontaine region inGenshin Impact, players once again have their work cut out for them in finding all the hidden treasures this region has to offer. However, one character in particular makes exploringGenshin Impact’s new Fontaine region a much more approachable task.
Players looking to fully explore Fontaine should consider unlocking thenew 5-star character Furinawhile she’s available in the event Wish banner. Otherwise, it might be a while before players get another chance to obtain Furina or a character who is equally as useful for exploration inGenshin Impact.

Furina is Top-Tier For Exploration-Teams in Genshin Impact
Furina is an off-field healer and source of Hydro applications, who is also capable of providing a damage buff to nearby players. Furina’s damage buff comes at the cost of reducing nearby players’ maximum HP, although cycling through both of her Elemental Skills allows players to consistently heal nearby characters after activating the damage buff.
Furina’s Talents Explained
How Furina’s Talents Apply to Exploration
The fact that Furina can swap between Ouisa and Pneuma alignment is a game-changer. Because of this, players can complete most of theopen-world puzzles in Fontainewithout constantly switching up their team composition. Beyond exploration, Furina also proves equally useful for combat encounters. Specifically, when fighting the new Clockwork Mech enemy type, players can often use one of the two Arkhe Energy types to stun these enemies, which is why Furina’s ability to change her alignment is great. This character is also great to have on a team when exploring underwater since one of her passive talents makes underwater abilities recharge faster.
Another noteworthy quality of this character is that while either one of Furina’s Elemental Skills are active she can walk on the surface of water. Since Furina’s Elemental Skill can have a permanent uptime even without any character constellations or artifacts equipped, this character can essentially walk on water for an unrestricted amount of time. Not only is this ability particularly helpful in Fontaine, but it’s also helpful for a handful of puzzles in the otherregions throughout Teyvat inGenshin Impact.
Since Furina’s Elemental Burst and both of her alternate Elemental Skills scale off of her maximum HP, she’s a reliable off-field support character for any combat scenario. Also, due to her wielding both Ouisa and Pneuma energy, and her ability to walk on water, she’s a game-changer for exploration teams even outside of Fontaine. Players who haven’t gotten this character yet should strongly consider doing so while she’s still available in the Wish banner duringGenshin Impact’s 4.2 Update.
