The flamboyant Hydro Archon, Furina, has received her first Genshin Impact banner in Version 4.2! With Furina's extravagant entrance in the Fontaine Archon Quest, accompanied by her stunning splash art and unique ability kit, her popularity has only been propelled to greater heights.
On top of that, out of the 18 new Fontaine characters, Furina distinguishes herself with gameplay that mirrors her dual nature, allowing her to harness both Ousia and Pneuma. Given her status as the Hydro Archon, it's no surprise that Furina’s abilities will revolutionise the prevailing Hydro meta.
For those eager to start gathering Furina's Ascension and Talent Materials, look no further. Our comprehensive Furina materials farming guide has got you covered!
Furina release date
Furina is an incredibly versatile unit: a 5-star Hydro Sword Sub-DPS/Buffer/Healer capable of both on-field and off-field play, tailored to suit your preferred playstyle.
You’ll get the chance to invite Furina to your roster in Version 4.2, which was released on 8 November 2023.
Furina Ascension materials
With the launch of Version 4.2, all of Furina's materials have been unlocked. There are plenty of materials that you must farm to fully ascend the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, so let's get right to it!
Varunada Lazurite
As is customary for the Hydro units of Genshin Impact, Furina requires Varunada Lazurite crystals for ascension.
You can obtain Varunada Lazurite crystals by defeating Genshin Impact bosses such as the Rhodeia of Loch and the Hydro Hypostatsos. Additionally, you can convert crystals of other elements into Hydro crystals using the Crafting Table and some Dust of Azoth.
In order to fully ascend Furina, you will need to farm the following:
- Varunada Lazurite Sliver x1
- Varunada Lazurite Fragments x9
- Varunada Lazurite Chunks x9
- Varunada Lazurite Gemstones x6
Whopperflower drops
Interestingly, Furina requires drops from Whopperflowers for Ascension, perhaps because they both share a penchant for masquerading as something they're not.
Whopperflowers are a common enemy found throughout Teyvat, spanning Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru. They have a knack for mimicking the appearance of other plants, such as Sweet Flowers, Small Lamp Grass, and even Mint.
In each region, you'll frequently encounter Whopperflowers in specific locations: Galesong Hill in Mondstadt, Minlin in Liyue, Seirai Island in Inazuma, and Vanarana in Sumeru.
To reach level 90 with Furina, make sure to accrue the following:
- Whopperflower Nectar x18
- Shimmering Nectar x30
- Energy Nectar x36
Water That Failed To Transcend
This azure crystal, "Water That Failed To Transcend", is a material obtained from the new World Boss called Hydro Tulpa. The "Water That Failed To Transcend" shares similarities with the forging material, Crystal Chunk, featuring a turquoise hue and a textured, spiked surface.
The new open-world normal boss, Hydro Tulpa, made its debut in the Version 4.2 update.
- In order to fully ascend Furina, you will need to acquire 46 of Water That Failed To Transcend

Lakelight Lily
Resembling a dewdrop, the Lakelight Lily is the local speciality used for Furina's Ascension. Currently, you won't come across any Lakelight Lilies in the accessible areas of Fontaine.
Lakelight Lily has become harvestable with the 4.2 update, found mainly in the Erinnyes Forest area.
- To fully ascend Furina, you'll need to gather 168 of these blue dewdrop flowers.
