‍

The Ultimate Guide to Fischl: Best Builds and Team Comps

‍Fischl's Core Abilities and Strengths

Elemental Skill: Nightrider

Oz Summoning

‍Fischl summons Oz, her raven, to attack enemies with Electro damage.

Oz remains on the field, attacking independently, even when Fischl is switched out.

Oz’s continuous Electro attacks provide a steady stream of damage, making Fischl effective in prolonged battles.

‍

Elemental Burst: Midnight Phantasmagoria

Resummoning Oz

‍Fischl briefly transforms into Oz, dealing AOE Electro damage upon activation and reactivation.

This ability also redeploys Oz, ensuring his constant presence on the battlefield.

At her fourth constellation, Fischl’s Elemental Burst provides additional AOE Electro damage and heals her, enhancing her survivability.

‍

Ascension 4 Passive - Lightning Smite

When an active character triggers an Electro-related Elemental reaction, Oz reacts by dealing additional Electro damage.

This ability has no internal cooldown, allowing for rapid reapplication of Electro and frequent reaction damage.

‍

Fischl's Talent Prioritization

Elemental Skill

Oz, summoned through her Elemental Skill, is the centerpiece of Fischl's kit, consistently dealing Electro damage.

As Oz stays active even when Fischl is off-field, upgrading this talent enhances her supportive capabilities in triggering Elemental reactions.

‍

Elemental Burst

This talent is less crucial but still valuable for its initial Electro AOE damage and for repositioning or resummoning Oz.

While not as consistently impactful as her Elemental Skill, it's beneficial when Oz's duration needs to be extended or when Fischl needs a quick escape.

‍

Normal Attack

Only prioritize if Fischl is used as a primary damage dealer, which is less common.

In a support role, Fischl rarely uses normal attacks, focusing instead on Oz's Electro damage.

‍

Optimal Artifacts for Fischl

Golden Troupe Set (Best for Electro Support/Sub-DPS)

Increases Elemental Skill damage by a significant margin.

Maximizes Oz's Electro damage output, making this set a top choice for Fischl when used primarily to support and trigger Electro reactions.

‍

Thundering Fury Set (Alternative for Reaction-Based Teams)

Boosts Electro damage and reduces Elemental Skill cooldown upon triggering Electro-related reactions.

Particularly effective in teams focusing on Electrocharge reactions.

‍

Mixed Sets (Versatile Option)

2-Piece Thundering Fury and 2-Piece Gladiator's Finale or Shimenawa's Reminiscence for a balance between Electro damage and overall ATK boost.

Offers a balanced approach, suitable for various team compositions.

‍

Gilded Dreams Set (Aggravate/Spread Teams)

Provides Elemental Mastery, strengthening reaction damage in Dendro-based teams.

Ideal for teams where Fischl plays a role in triggering Aggravate or Spread reactions.

‍

Main Stats Priority

• ‍Sands: ATK% or Elemental Mastery (for reaction-focused builds).‍
• Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus to maximize her Electro damage output.‍
• Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, aiming for a balanced CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio of 1:2.

‍

Sub-Stats Priority

‍Focus on CRIT Rate/DMG, ATK%, Elemental Mastery (for reaction-based roles), and Energy Recharge if needed for Burst uptime.

‍

‍

Synergistic Team Compositions

Electro-Charged (Taser) Teams

Core Team: Fischl, Hydro DPS (e.g., Tartaglia, Xingqiu), Anemo support (e.g., Sucrose, Kazuha), and a Flex slot.

Fischl and Hydro DPS create frequent Electro-Charged reactions, increased by Anemo's Swirl and Elemental Mastery buffs.

Can be filled by a healer like Barbara for sustainability or another Electro character like Beidou for enhanced Electro reactions.

‍

Overload Teams

Core Team: Fischl, Pyro DPS (e.g., Hu Tao, Klee), Anemo support, and a healer or utility character.

Combines Fischl's Electro application with Pyro for powerful Overload explosions.

Anemo character can spread and strengthens the reactions.

‍

Superconduct Teams

Core Team: Fischl, Cryo DPS (e.g., Ganyu, Rosaria), Physical DPS (e.g., Razor, Eula), and a healer/utility.

Ideal for physical DPS characters.

Superconduct reduces enemies' Physical RES, allowing the Physical DPS to maximize damage.

‍

Aggravate/Spread Teams (Dendro)

Core Team: Fischl, Dendro character (e.g., Tighnari, Collei), Electro DPS (e.g., Raiden Shogun), and Anemo/Healer.

Fischl aids in setting up Aggravate/Spread reactions with Dendro, enhancing overall damage output, especially with Raiden Shogun as an Electro battery.

‍

Energy-Recharge Teams

Core Team: Fischl, Energy-hungry DPS (e.g., Razor, Beidou), Anemo support, and a healer.

Fischl serves as an excellent battery, particularly beneficial for characters with high Energy demands.

‍

Sub-DPS in Mixed Reaction Teams

Core Team: Fischl, Main DPS of a different element, Support character for additional reactions (e.g., Xiangling for Overload), and a healer.

Versatile team comp that can adapt to different scenarios.

Fischl provides additional damage and reaction opportunities.

‍

Constellations Overview

C1: Gaze of the Deep

When Fischl hits Oz with a fully charged Aimed Shot, Oz brings down Thundering Retribution, dealing AoE Electro DMG equal to 152.7% of the arrow's DMG.

Increases AoE Electro damage potential but is generally less impactful for her usual support role.

‍

C2: Devourer of All Sins

When Oz is on the field, characters' Electro-related reaction DMG is increased by 80% for 10s.

Significantly boosts the damage of Electro-Charged and other Electro-related reactions, enhancing Fischl's support role.

‍

C4: Her Pilgrimage of Bleak

When Midnight Phantasmagoria is used, it deals 222% of ATK as Electro DMG to surrounding enemies.

When the skill duration ends, Fischl regenerates 20% of her HP.

Adds more AoE damage potential and a self-heal mechanism, offering more survivability.

‍

C6: Evernight Raven

Increases Oz's duration by 2 seconds.

Additionally, Oz attacks with the current character when present, dealing 30% of Fischl's ATK as Electro DMG.

This constellation is a game-changer. It not only increases Oz's uptime but also adds significant extra Electro DMG whenever the active character attacks.

‍

Advanced Strategies and Tips

Maximizing Oz’s Uptime and Damage

Snapshot Mechanic‍

Understand that Oz’s damage snapshots Fischl’s stats at the moment he is summoned.

This includes buffs from food, potions, or abilities from other characters.

‍

Ability Rotation‍

Summon Oz using Fischl’s Elemental Skill, switch to your main DPS, and then bring Fischl back to re-summon Oz with her Elemental Burst when he's about to disappear for near-constant uptime.

‍

Electro Reaction Optimization

Electro-Charged Teams‍

Pair Fischl with Hydro characters like Xingqiu or Tartaglia for consistent Electro-Charged reactions.

Fischl's C2 enhances this synergy.

‍

Overload Compositions‍

Team up with Pyro characters for Overload reactions.

Ideal in scenarios requiring AoE damage and knockback.

‍

Energy Recharge Balance

ER Management: While Fischl doesn’t heavily rely on Energy Recharge, maintaining a balance ensures more frequent use of her Elemental Burst for additional Oz summoning.

Favonius Warbow Usage: If Fischl’s CRIT Rate is high, using Favonius Warbow can turn her into an efficient energy battery.

‍

Positioning and Field Awareness

Oz Placement: Position Oz strategically using Fischl’s Elemental Skill or Burst to ensure maximum enemy coverage.

Reactivate Oz: You can reposition Oz by reactivating the Elemental Skill or using her Burst, making it versatile for dynamic battle situations.

‍

Constellation Usage

C6 Synergy: If you have C6 Fischl, synchronize her with characters that have fast attack rates to maximize the additional Electro damage.

C4 Healing: Use her C4 for a self-sustain, especially in longer fights or when Fischl is used as a main DPS.
