1. I think its safe to assume that furina is gonna use both ousia and pneuma energy, based on her design she seems very into that duality idea

2. i believe her kit will be related to the new 4.0 artifact set.
   emblem shimenawa 2.0 -> raiden 2.1
   gilded deepwood 3.0 -> nahida 3.2
   BIS artifact always release first

3. Keqing but better, then Yelan but better… hoping his skill are transformative > Oceanid or summon them and any attack of the summon made are count as skill damage while burst become the Oceanid itself but cooler for a set period of time so we can get Oceanid and cooler oceanid also unique mechanic (summon) with taunt, hydro aplication as support role bot her and the summon and idk, maybe you guys can continue the rest of her speculated kit

4. Hmm thinking of skipping Yelan again but for Furina this time 🤔

5. Wouldn’t it be so silly fi she consumes your teammates’ hp to power herself up

6. Your speculation is so far off base lol. Furina is going to be all of the above: An applicator, a buffer, a healer and a DPS. She obviously has a HP scaling and a HP sacrifice mechanic and off field hydro application. Her application won't be tied to basic attacks either and that is going to sink both Xingqui and Yelan into irrelevance.

7. My simple brain is telling me that team wide she drains the HP of everyone, to in turn buff everyone's dmg. Like yelan. Archons tend to be supportive, so Furina being a dps is unlikely. Regardless I think she will be awesome. Hoyo wouldn't kill this good Fontaine momentum with a bad archon.

8. Furina is more or less going to work like Honkai Star Rails' Blade. Sacrifice Healing or HP for an absurd amount of damage.

9. She will drain HP and apply off field hydro to enemy but unlike yelan. The mechanic have very high scaling but short period of time so it didnt buff normal attack. I have feeling her mechanic will buff char burst like Eula, yoimiya, diluc

10. Instead of upgrade version of traveller i think her kit going to have similarity with fontaine weapon and artifact
    Looking at the 2 former archon, their kits is kinda similiar to their respective craftable weapo.

    Ei = allies uses ult to empower raiden's ult and raiden's ult restore allies energy.
    Inazauma weapon = drain energy to get back more energy

    Nahida = the first character that have double scalling (atk/em)
    Sumeru weapon = buff either em or atk.

    For furina i think her kit going to be resolves around "Bond of Life". Maybe her e/q will place oratrice (placeholder) on-field and it will absorbs heal. Oratrice will buff crit and if character have more than 100% crit the excess crit will be crdmg instead

11. Honestly it seems Furina might bring something unique to the table! Which is Hp fluctuations. With Fontaine units and HMC taking their health for power she might bring give something unique to a units hp as a support.

12. Idc what she does. I'm pulling for the goated design

13. max HP increase hasnt been done before it would be cool for nilou and yelan teams if she could do that

14. Where tf do the traveler and archon share anything?

15. Imagine a main dps healer. I would love that

16. we just have to wait 30 days aprox to see her leaked gameplay

17. Probably a healer that absorbs damage and scale that as part of her healing while off-field and adds damage when on-field.

    Basically Kokomi with crits.

18. Big off-field dmg from her skill and burst with the taunt and some team buffs for good measure. I like that combination. She ends her burst with a toodle-oo! I'm really looking forward to seeing this gremlins kit in action.

19. She summons a hydro eidolon to taunt apply hydro and do dmg. We know those bastards can hit hard in certain cases.

20. Here's an ultimatum, furina's personality gets a L that is why Neuvillette is the real archon for me and imma pull for him.
    As for hydro archon, well archons keep getting reruns every once in 6-8 months

21. There is no hydro character which applies hydro with charged atk. That's why xingque and yelan are useless with dehya or charged atk diluc.

22. I think she might be able to swap to pneuma and ousia with low cooldown. With different skills like Childe swapping weapons.
    that would be really helpful in the overworld like the other archons
    maybe there's going to be a some sort of buff/debuff after she causes an annihilation reaction with a quick element swap… that would be too convenient. Since it seems like she's bipolar, maybe she swaps ousia-pneuma and vice versa only when you switch character

23. We all know who the true Hydro Archon is, hehe

24. Water, by nature, has a duality to it. Its “softness” allows us to float in it. But it can also be as hard as concrete if you fall into it from high altitude. It can flow gently, or it can decimate everything in its path in a wild torrent. Water erodes rock over time and can cleave massive stones in half. I would use the word mercurial to describe Furina – meaning she is prone to massive mood swings, almost as if she’s bipolar. In Chinese and Japanese, the planet Mercury is written as “water star”, so it would make sense that she would be aligned with the planet and its characteristics. I think she’s like a great sea, calm on the surface, but hiding a turbulent current underneath.
