Furina: Salon, Fanfare, and the Heal You Must Bring

Tap Elemental Skill to summon the Salon Solitaire. Three members attack with her and deal Hydro based on her max HP. They also drain the party's HP over time. Hold the skill instead and you get the Singer of Many Waters, who heals the on-field character. You cannot have both modes at once. Combat Furina almost always wants the Salon. The healer mode is for when the team has no other heal and someone is about to fall.

Elemental Burst, Let the People Rejoice, lasts about eighteen seconds. It does not buff you by itself. Fanfare stacks when party members lose or gain HP. The Salon creates the loss. A healer's burst creates the gain. Both count. Her normal attack is a short sword combo and is not the reason you field her.

Furina skill, Furina burst, then the healer's burst, then the on-field damage dealer. Jean's burst is the clean version: it heals the whole party at once, so Fanfare jumps in one cast. A single-target healer still works, but you have to let the ring tick. Do not heal before Furina's burst is up, or the HP gain happens while the counter is off.

Neuvillette is the other easy partner. His charged attack spends and restores his own HP, so he feeds Fanfare even between healer ticks. If the party is already at full HP and nobody is losing any, the Salon has nothing to drain and the burst looks weak. Let the HP bar move.

Level her skill and burst together. The Salon is the Hydro application and a real part of the damage. The burst is the reason the rest of the team hits harder. An energy-recharge sword matters more than a crit sword if her burst is late. Fleuve Cendre Ferryman is the craftable one. Her signature is the upgrade, not the requirement.

Four-piece Golden Troupe if she is off the field, which she should be. Sands can be energy recharge until the burst is reliable, then HP percent. Goblet HP percent. Circlet crit if the Salon is hitting, or HP percent if you are still short on HP. She does not want an attack goblet. Attack barely moves her numbers.
