Finina: A Guide to the Star and Diva

Introduction

Hey everyone! It's Seevi Fontaine's main star and diva, Finina, here to finally make her debut as a playable character. I'm here to give You all the juicy details about Finina, her unique kit, and how she can spice up the genin's meta.

Overview of Finina's Kit

Finina is an HP scaling Hydro unit with a stacked kit that combines the roles of a buffer, damage dealer, applicator, and healer. Her playstyle revolves around her HP draining ability, which works alongside her buffing utility. This unique mechanic introduces interesting considerations for team building and synergies.

Let's take a look at Finina's kit in more Detail.

Normal Attacks and ARCA Alignment

Finina's normal attacks are not meant to deal significant damage, as they are still attack scaling and have no innate Hydro infusion. However, they are the source of her ARCA attacks, which deal small Numa or Usia-aligned Hydro damage with a cooldown of 6 seconds. Her ARCA alignment determines the effects of her skill.

Skills and HP Draining Mechanic

Finina's skill, "Sea Version," summons three Salon solitary guests - the Octopus Usher, the Seahorse Shival, and the Caleta. These pets follow her around and attack nearby enemies, prioritizing her Current target. They last for 30 seconds with a 20-second cooldown, allowing for a 100% uptime.

As her pets hit enemies, they generate Hydro particles every 3 seconds. This particle generation, combined with her high Hydro application uptime, makes Finina a reliable source of energy for her team.

Burst and Fanfare Stacks

Finina's burst, "Singer of Many Waters," deals AOE Hydro damage and triggers the "Fanfare" state for all party members. Every 1% change in HP generates one Fanfare stack, up to a maximum of 300 stacks at C0. These stacks provide team-wide damage and healing buffs, with the buffs scaling based on Finina's Talent level.

The Fanfare stacks have a ramp-up time, depending on how fast HP changes occur. When the burst ends, the accumulated stacks are cleared, requiring players to reaccumulate the stacks with each cast. It's essential to manage your HP and have a reliable healer to maximize the Fanfare stack accumulation rate.

Ascension Talents

Finina's Ascension talents enhance her skills and overall performance. Her Ascension 1 passive triggers a heal for all party members when the active character gets overhealed by someone other than Finina. This heals 2% of their Max HP every 2 seconds within the next 4 seconds, helping generate Fanfare stacks faster and improving team survivability.

Her Ascension 4 passive provides additional bonuses to her skill based on every 1,000 Max HP. It can reach up to 28% damage bonus for her Salon members and up to a 16% decrease in healing intervals for her singer. This encourages players to build high HP on Finina to maximize her damage and support capabilities.

Her exploration passive reduces the cooldowns of Cocchromatic Finarant abilities by 30%, making underwater combat and exploration more convenient.

Artifact and Weapon Builds

In terms of artifact builds, Finina benefits from the four-piece Golden Troop set, which provides a total of 70% skill damage bonus while she is off-field. This set synergizes well with her playstyle, as her skill is her main damage source. Alternatively, the two-piece combinations of HP Golden Troop, Hydro, or ER sets can be used temporarily to meet specific stat requirements.

For main stats, Finina's sand artifact can either focus on HP or ER, depending on her energy recharge needs. Her goblet generally favors HP, while her circlet can prioritize crit rate or crit damage to achieve a good crit ratio.

In terms of weapon options, players can choose ER, HP, or crit-focused weapons. The Festering Desire is a highly recommended ER weapon, offering high ER substats and damage and crit rate bonuses for her skill. Other viable options include the Flute and the Skyward Blade for their skill-specific Perks.

Team Compositions and Synergies

Finina's team compositions can vary depending on elemental synergies and healing needs. Having a capable healer is crucial for maximizing her damage output and ensuring team survivability. Healers can be categorized as single-target or AOE healers.

Vaporize teams can benefit from Finina's Hydro application, especially in reverse vaporize setups where she becomes the solo Hydra applicator. Combining her with pyro units that have controlled pyro application allows for effective vaporize reactions. On the other HAND, forward vaporize teams aim to trigger vaporize with Finina's Hydro attacks. These setups require faster pyro application, and another source of Hyrda application may be required.

Freeze teams can utilize Finina's Hydro application to prolong the freeze effect. Pairing her with cryo or Hydro units creates a powerful and crowd-controlling team. Additionally, Finina's pets' AOE attacks can contribute to freezing enemies, limiting their damage output.

For Electro-Charged and Thundershock teams, Finina can enhance the team's damage output with her Hydro application. Including an Electro unit, another Hydro unit, and a flexible slot for an Anemo unit allows for effective elemental interactions and damage amplification.

Monohydro teams focus on maximizing Hydro application and particle generation. Having more Hydro teammates helps generate particles, allowing Finina to aim for a lower ER stat and focus more on HP and crit stats.

Hyper Bloom and Dendro teams benefit from Finina's Hydro application, although she may not generate cores as quickly as other Hydro units. Including a strong Dendro DPS applicator improves core generation, while Finina buffs the team's damage with her Fanfare stacks.

Neu Bloom teams require careful management of Finina's HP draining and NieR's self-damage from Bountiful Cores. Including Dendro, Hydro, or Cryo units that mitigate the Pyro Aura can help in maintaining stability.

Finina can also serve as a general support for various DPS carries, regardless of their element. As long as there is sufficient healing to keep up with her HP drain, she can greatly enhance the team's damage output.

FAQ

Q: Can Finina work as a solo DPS character? A: While Finina can deal considerable damage, she is more suited as a support character for DPS carries due to her unique buffing abilities and HP draining mechanic. Solo DPS players may find her HP drain uncomfortable to manage.

Q: Is Finina worth pulling for? A: It depends on your team composition, playstyle, and available resources. Finina adds new mechanics and synergies to the game, making her a valuable addition to some team setups. However, players should consider their existing roster and whether they enjoy playing characters with HP-related mechanics.

Q: Should I prioritize ER, HP, or crit stats for Finina's artifacts and weapons? A: The priority of these stats depends on Finina's energy recharge needs. If she requires high ER to maintain her burst uptime, prioritize ER stats. Otherwise, focus on HP and crit stats to boost her damage output.

Q: Can Finina replace a dedicated healer on the team? A: While Finina has some healing capabilities, her HP draining mechanic necessitates a reliable healer on the team to keep party members' HP above 50%. Healing is crucial for maximizing her damage output and the effectiveness of her Fanfare buffs.

Q: Which constellations enhance Finina's performance the most? A: Finina's C1 and C2 constellations are significant upgrades that boost her damage and Fanfare stack accumulation. C6 provides additional benefits to her auto attacks. However, Finina's kit is entirely complete at C0, and players should not feel pressured to pull for constellations unless they are dedicated fans of the character.
