Genshin Impact: 7 Best Buffers

Playing a game like Genshin Impact can be tiresome at times, especially when players are keen to finish every piece of content in the game. Since most of Genshin’s combat content is time-related, players need to create teams that can clear these stages within the given time limit.

To do so, including buffers and debuffers in the team is a must since they’re the ones who can take the DPS to the next level. For players who are looking to enhance their teams with some top-notch Supports, here’s a list of the best buffers in Genshin Impact.

7 Faruzan

Boosts Anemo DPS Significantly At C6

There are many grounds that Faruzan covers when it comes to buffing Anemo units in Genshin Impact. Starting from her Elemental Burst that buffs her team’s Anemo DMG by up to 38%, to debuffing enemies’ Anemo resistance by 30%. Additionally, her fourth Ascension passive has a slight ATK buff based on her Base ATK to the character that is currently affected by her Elemental Burst.

Faruzan has all these amazing buffs before entering the realm of her Constellations in Genshin Impact. Her C2 is one of her best Constellations since it increases her Elemental Burst duration by six seconds, which increases the occurrence of her Anemo DMG buffs and Anemo Res debuffs. However, Faruzan C6 takes the crown as the best Anemo buffer with her 40% CRIT DMG increase on top of all other Anemo buffs.

Ranking this low on this list with all these buffs surely creates a very heated competition for the characters yet to come. The funny part is all these buffs and debuffs are present with unbuilt Faruzan. You can still build her with supportive artifact sets and weapons, which will further improve her role as a buffer. For example, having Faruzan wield Elegy for the End while rocking 4pc of Noblesse Oblige (or Tenacity of the Millelith at C6) is another 40% ATK increase to her buffing.

6 Shenhe

Big Cryo Damage

Although Shenhe’s buff is mostly dedicated to Cryo users in Genshin Impact, she’s still part of one of the most popular Meta in the game. Many characters give value to Freeze teams, but no one can do it like Shenhe. Her Elemental Skill notably buffs her team’s Cryo DMG, while her Elemental Burst debuffs enemies’ Cryo resistance by up to 15%. Additionally, Shenhe has the ability to further buff her team’s Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG if she uses her tap Skill, and Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG if she uses her hold Skill.

While it’s restricting to use Shenhe with characters other than Cryo, she still delivers a strong buff complemented by her CD, which makes it easy for her to keep re-applying her massive buff.

5 Mona

For Social Media Showcase

Although she’s a bit outdated and suffers from her low Hydro application, Mona is still considered one of the best buffers, mostly because of her relation to Freeze teams in Genshin Impact. Once Mona unleashes her Elemental Burst, she opens possibilities for the DPS in her team to deal a huge amount of damage. Even after years, using Mona’s Burst is still one of the best methods to make any character release some unrealistic flashy numbers.

Since her Elemental Burst is the only useful Talent she has, Mona needs to keep unleashing her Ultimate every single time she joins the field during her team’s rotation. However, that should not be a problem for most Mona users since she has a notable synergy with Energy Recharge, and stacking that stat on her is super beneficial.

4 Nahida

Effortless Buff

There are quite a lot of things Nahida can do in Genshin Impact. One of her best Talents is her ability to follow up every Elemental reaction with a Dendro hit that ensures she keeps applying Dendro off-field. She buffs her own Kit through her Elemental Burst based on her team’s Elements. Finally, her fourth Ascension Passive grants her Crit Rate and damage buff scaling with her Elemental Mastery.

As for her team, when casting her Elemental Burst, Nahida’s first Ascension Passive will buff the active character’s Elemental Mastery by up to 25%, which can be insane in the right hands. Matching her with DPS units that rely on Elemental Mastery creates a beautiful, strong synergy between her and most units in Genshin Impact.

3 Kazuha

Swirl Best Friend

Without a doubt, Kazuha was and still is one of the best buffers in the game. As an Anemo user in Genshin Impact, Kazuha’s buffs and debuffs exclude Dendro, Geo, and Anemo units from benefiting from what he has to offer. Simply because Kazuha has to Swirl with his target to unleash his abilities, and Swirl is only triggered with Electro, Hydro, Cryo, and Pyro.

When the DPS is one of the Elements that Swirl with Anemo, Kazuha instantly becomes a top contender to Support them in their team. Not only Kazuha can Crowd Control most enemies in one area, but he can also debuff the enemy’s RES to the Swirled Element by using Viridescent Venerer.

2 Bennett

Still Not Powercreeped

If there’s a character that has been breaking the game’s scale of damage since its release, it’s Bennett. Since the majority of characters scale with ATK when they deal damage, Bennett can grant a flat ATK bonus that exceeds 1000 points through various sources. Additionally, Bennett’s Elemental Burst has a strong, fast healing capability that ensures any unit within the circle is well protected. These fantastic abilities allow Bennett to be considered one of the best Supports in Genshin Impact.

1 Furina

Crazy Buff But With Conditions

The Hydro Archon is no stranger when it comes to buffing allies in Genshin Impact. Not only is she a tremendous off-field Sub-DPS, but Furina also enjoys an excellent buff that benefits her and all her off-field and on-field allies. What’s limiting about Furina’s buff is its unique mechanics that rely on her and her team’s HP status.

While Furina can slowly maximize her buff with her Elemental Skill, since it can reduce or increase her allies’ HP status, it’s better to include a healer in her team (or units that self-heal) to speed up the process of generating Fanfare points. By increasing any character’s damage regardless of their Element or the stat they scale with, Furina is surely the best buffer in Genshin Impact.
