One player of Genshin Impact has made an interesting observation regarding Furina, a new playable character set to be introduced in version 4.2 of the game. Currently appearing as an NPC in Chapter 4 of the Archon Quest, Furina possesses a captivating backstory based on leaked information. Rumored to be a five-star Hydro character, her primary weapon of choice is a sword.
With each update, Genshin Impact consistently introduces new playable characters for players to unlock through various means such as using Intertwined Fates or completing specific quests. The most recent addition in version 4.0 is the twin brothers Lyney and Lynette, who have been included in the current banner. Apart from these Fontaine-based characters, Teyvat will reportedly see the debut of Charlotte, Dainsleif, and Furina later this year. As the release of version 4.1 approaches, the game's subreddit is expected to unveil further leaks concerning their weapons and abilities.
A Reddit user named Maxwell_Adams, who is a player of Genshin Impact, has made an interesting observation regarding Furina. They believe that the glowing objects attached to her hair are actually Oceanid fin fingers. This detail suggests that Furina may be one of the influential Archon characters, as all Archons have highlights in their hair corresponding to their respective elements. If this theory is true, it would imply that Furina belongs to a distinct race in addition to possessing her own powers. However, it is also possible that these sparkly features are simply decorative design choices.
Many commenters agreed with this theory in the comments section, referring to Furina, also known as Focalors, as one of Genshin Impact's Archon characters. Some speculated that her hair only sparkles when she performs specific abilities. Others pointed out that these shiny objects are actually part of a twin-tail hairstyle.
Archons are supernatural beings responsible for governing the realm of Teyvat in Genshin Impact. They play a significant role in the ongoing Archon storyline and are aligned with specific elemental forces such as Anemo, Geo, and Electro. Notable deities like Nahida, Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, and Venti possess versatile abilities that make them valuable additions to various team compositions.
In recent Genshin Impact leaks, it has been hinted that Furina, the present vessel for Focalors, will become the Hydro Archon character. Although this information lacks confirmation, the upcoming 4.2 version banners are expected to showcase Furina alongside Ayato. Furthermore, leaks suggest that she will possess a five-star rarity, similar to other characters of her caliber.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is also in development.
