Shared Team Members
With Charlotte
Charlotte's 'Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation' Burst provides an instant, team-wide heal that immediately generates a large amount of Fanfare stacks for Furina. This allows Furina's DMG buff to reach its maximum potential early in the rotation. The Cryo application from Charlotte also helps trigger Freezes, providing extra control while Furina's Salon Members deal damage.
With Mika
Mika provides steady team-wide healing through his 'Skyfeather Song' Burst, which helps Furina maintain and stack her Fanfare bonus over time. His ATK Speed buff also increases the frequency of Furina's Salon Member attacks, leading to higher Hydro application and damage. This synergy is particularly strong in physical or cryo-focused teams where Mika's other buffs are utilized.
