Why This Build Works

Floating normal attacks let him ignore ground mechanics while dealing fast Anemo damage, and Faruzan multiplies that damage substantially.

Key Stat Threshold

ATK 2,000+. CRIT 70/160+. Faruzan is effectively mandatory, and a shielder is required in difficult content.

Current Meta Status

Strong Anemo carry with a high ceiling — but only when Faruzan and a shielder are both present.
