Academic research isn't some kind of fad, topics don't just go in and out of fashion. Madam Faruzan's life started more than a hundred years ago and her story covers as much ground as some major academic publications.
What do you think? Got any interest in becoming my student? Eeeh? What did you say? I'm old now, so every other phrase escapes my ears. Try calling me "Madam Faruzan," and I'll see if I can pick that up.

Faruzan is a professor of the Sumeru Akademiya and a member of the Haravatat Darshan. She recently returned to the Akademiya after solving a puzzle and escaping the ruins that trapped her a century ago.
Despite being a Haravatat scholar, Faruzan specializes more in the Kshahrewar studies, being highly knowledgeable in machine mechanics and language. She's highly respected in the Kshahrewar school for her contributions, but she still remains a Haravatat scholar and refuses any attempts to join Kshahrewar. Due to technically living longer than others in part due to the King Deshret ruins she had been trapped in, she self-identifies as a senior despite her youthful appearance and demands respect from them. However, she struggles to get it in part due to many of her peers seeing her thesis and points being outdated.
- Normal Attack: Parthian Shot
- Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive shots.
- Charged Attack: Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased Damage. While aiming, mighty winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow will deal Anemo Damage.
- Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, hitting enemies along the path and dealing AoE Damage upon impact.
- Elemental Skill: Wind Realm of Nasamjnin
Too late for regrets.
Dare to mess with me?
We'll see about that.
Faruzan deploys a polyhedron that deals AoE Anemo Damage to nearby enemies. She will also enter the Manifest Gale state.
While in the Manifest Gale state, Faruzan's next fully charged shot will consume this state and will become a Hurricane Arrow that contains high-pressure currents. This arrow deals Anemo Damage based on the Damage of a fully charged Aimed Shot from Normal Attack: Parthian Shot.
Pressurized Collapse
The Hurricane Arrow will apply a Pressurized Collapse effect to the enemy or character hit. This effect will be removed after a short delay, creating a vortex that deals AoE Anemo Damage and pulls nearby objects and enemies in. If the Hurricane Arrow does not hit any enemy or character, it will create a Pressurized Collapse effect at its point of impact.
The vortex Damage is considered Elemental Skill Damage.
- Elemental Burst: The Wind's Secret Ways
Gears of the storm!
Have fun with this gift!
Truth repeats its course.
Faruzan deploys a Dazzling Polyhedron that unleashes a Whirlwind Pulse and deals AoE Anemo Damage.
While the Dazzling Polyhedron persists, it will continuously move along a triangular path. Once it reaches each corner of that triangular path, it will unleash 1 more Whirlwind Pulse.
Whirlwind Pulse
When the Whirlwind Pulse is unleashed, it will apply Perfidious Wind's Bale to nearby enemies, decreasing their Anemo Resistance.
The Whirlwind Pulse will also apply Prayerful Wind's Benefit to all nearby party members when it is unleashed, granting them an Anemo Damage Bonus.
- 1st Ascension Passive: Impetuous Flow
When Faruzan is in the Manifest Gale state created by Elemental Skill: Wind Realm of Nasamjnin, the amount of time taken to charge a shot is decreased by 60%, and she can apply Elemental Burst: The Wind's Secret Ways' Perfidious Wind's Bale to enemies who are hit by the vortex created by Pressurized Collapse.
- 4th Ascension Passive: Lost Wisdom of the Seven Caverns
When characters affected by Elemental Burst: The Wind's Secret Ways' Prayerful Wind's Gift deal Anemo Damage using Normal, Charged, Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, or Elemental Bursts to enemies, they will gain the Hurricane Guard effect: This Damage will be increased based on 32% of Faruzan's Base ATK. 1 instance of Hurricane Guard can occur once every 0.8 seconds. This Damage Bonus will be cleared after Prayerful Wind's Benefit expires or after the effect is triggered once.
- Utility Passive: Tomes Light the Path
Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Sumeru Expedition for 20 hours.

This Cooldown is shared between all party members. |
This part is about what Faruzan thinks about the other characters in Genshin Impact.
Sometimes, she'll lower her head and keep her distance when she sees me. However, she's all smiles and greetings at night... I don't quite get her. Anyway, most kids in Rtawahist are geniuses. A quirk or two isn't anything to concern myself with.
I remember her; she's a courteous girl. I've only been to the Grand Bazaar a few times, but she's already remembered my name and face, and she's even tried to get the others to stop arguing with me. She really gets it! All youngsters should be more like her.
Knowledge is naturally something that cannot be limited or restrained. It's like how Kshahrewar can utilize Haravatat's research findings. All scholars will be grateful to Lesser Lord Kusanali for releasing the Akademiya— no, the entire City of Wisdom from the shackles of selfish desires. All who thirst for knowledge are now afforded the opportunity to search for treasures in the vast sea of knowledge.
Kaveh's a good kid with great potential. I had a casual chat with him once about some principles of mechanism construction. Hmm, how should I put it... He's too much of an artsy romantic, but at least he has some original ideas, which is rare nowadays. I've heard that he's fallen on some hard times, so I'm planning to invite him out for a good meal once my funding gets approved. It'll happen soon, promise.
Ah, Collei... She's respectful toward her elders, diligent, and has a hard-working attitude — truly the perfect student! Children like her deserve all the affection and praise. Tighnari really has no reason to be as strict as he has been. Hmph... I need to find a way to win her over... Ahem! What I meant to say was, as a senior scholar, I should find ways to improve the learning environment of younger students.
One of my favorite projects is researching rainforest ruins. Ah right, I should ask Tighnari to come with me next time. It's always fun to travel with the living copy of the Rainforest Survival Guide. I must say, even though I've been around for more than a hundred years, he's seen far more varieties of fungi than I've had the chance to taste...
Cyno's jokes are composed using modern words and language patterns, but I still struggle to decipher any hidden meaning from his grammar and prose... Huh? It's all just literal meanings and homophones? Really...? Then, those jokes don't have any substance at all...
Oh? You mean the new arrival? Yes, didn't he show up at the perfect time! I still don't know which Darshan he belongs to, but I seem to run into him all the time these days: out on the streets, in shops, at restaurants... It's like he's everywhere at once. The way he nods his head when he talks, it's like... oh, I don't know, like... a little puppy, yes. Eloquent young fellow, too. Seems like a good egg. Anyway, are you acquainted with him? You must encourage him to enroll in my classes. Tell him Madam Faruzan will take good care of him.
