Teams

Builds

Off Field DPS
Physical DPS

Off-Field DPS Build

The main way you'll want to play Fischl. Oz's damage and Fischl's A4 talent imply that you won't need Fischl on the field to do a lot of damage.

Talent Priority

Skill > Burst
Oz's damage comes from the Skill. The Burst is mostly used for increasing Oz's uptime but its damage should not be ignored.

Stat Priority

Main stats: ATK/Electro/Crit
Substats: Crit/ATK/ER
Fischl wants some ER but its not worth running ER sands or weapon to fill it.

Weapons

5★ bows are very good and usually outperform any 4★ weapons, Polar Star shines above the others but for Fischl's case not by much.

Polar Star

CRIT Rate

Daylight's Augury

Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12~24%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48~20/40/60/96%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.

Good stats and great passive for her. At R5 this weapon competes for Fischl's best weapon.

Alley Hunter

ATK

Oppidan Ambush

While the character equipped with this weapon is in the party but not on the field, their DMG increases by 2~4% every second up to a max of 20~40%. When the character is on the field for more than 4s, the aforementioned DMG buff decreases by 4~8% per second until it reaches 0%.

Weapon Variations

A great ATK stat stick that also helps with both Crit Rate and DMG. An overall solid option for every Bow user, and Fischl makes no exception.

Skyward Harp

CRIT Rate

Echoing Ballad

Increases CRIT DMG by 20~40%. Hits have a 60~100% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 4~2s.

Requires High Investment

One of Fischl's best weapons on release, the issues it has comes from its EM substat. While Fischl does share some reactions, it really requires her to be at max ascension to make it competitive with other weapons.

The Stringless

Elemental Mastery

Arrowless Song

Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 24~48%.

F2P Option

Its passive is very good especially at high refines, making it very competitive with most of Fischl's weapon options.

Prototype Crescent

ATK

Unreturning

Charged Attack hits on weak points increase Movement SPD by 10% and ATK by 36~72% for 10s.

2.7. Event weapon that gives ER% and buffs Fischl's damage. Good at R5 especially.

Fading Twilight

Energy Recharge

Radiance of the Deeps

Has three states, Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze, which increase DMG dealt by 6%/10%/14%~12%/20%/28% respectively. When attacks hit opponents, this weapon will switch to the next state. This weapon can change states once every 7s. The character equipping this weapon can still trigger the state switch while not on the field.

F2P Refinement 5 Weapon gained through Fishing in Sumeru. Mostly ER% stat stick.

End of the Line

Energy Recharge

Net Snapper

Triggers the Flowrider effect after using an Elemental Skill, dealing 80% ATK as AoE DMG upon hitting an opponent with an attack. Flowrider will be removed after 15s or after causing 3 instances of AoE DMG. Only 1 instance of AoE DMG can be caused every 2s in this way. Flowrider can be triggered once every 12s.

Battlepass option

Being able to group enemies makes it worth the extra field time for Fischl. That and Crit Rate is a good substat to have.

The Viridescent Hunt

CRIT Rate

Verdant Wind

Upon hit, Normal and Aimed Shot Attacks have a 50% chance to generate a Cyclone, which will continuously attract surrounding opponents, dealing 40~80% of ATK as DMG to these opponents every 0.5s for 4s. This effect can only occur once every 14~10s.

Early Game

A good stat stick while looking for 4★ weapon choices (Rust,Prototype Crescent,Stringless,Alley Hunter)

Slingshot

CRIT Rate

Slingshot

If a Normal or Charged Attack hits a target within 0.3s of being fired, increases DMG by 36~60%. Otherwise, decreases DMG by 10%.

Artifacts

While set bonuses contribute good damage, unless you're specifically building Fischl it is better to farm sets for other characters and reserve the very good pieces for Fischl.

Thundering Fury

2 Electro DMG Bonus +15%.

Gladiator's Finale

2 ATK +18%.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence

2 ATK +18%.

Vermillion Hereafter

2 ATK +18%.

Echoes of an Offering

2 ATK +18%.

Artifact Variations

Niche Option

Fischl can use this set, but you sacrifice her impressive damage for a small amount of utility. If you happen to have the pieces, its fine but its not recommended to farm for this set for Fischl. Generally your team benefits more from Fischl's raw damage than the 20% ATK buff.

Tenacity of the Millelith

2 HP +20%.

4 When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the ATK of all nearby party members is increased by 20% and their Shield Strength is increased by 30% for 3s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field.

Physical DPS Build

Fischl's first two hits in her Normal Attack sequence have animation-cancelling techs. A fun build for those looking to master Genshin's bow-mechanics.

Talent Priority

Skill = Normal Attack > Burst
Fischl's normal attack is the heart of this build. That does not mean you can neglect raising the Skill.

Stat Priority

Main stats: ATK/Phys/Crit
Substats: Crit/ATK/ER Even in a Normal Attack centric build you still value Oz's uptime so having enough ER to burst really does help.

Weapons

Best Weapons

5★ bows are very good and usually outperform any 4★ weapons, Thundering Pulse being the best option while having Skyward Harp is an excellent stat-stick that you might not benefit from better weapons.

Thundering Pulse

CRIT DMG

Rule By Thunder

Increases ATK by 20~40% and grants the might of the Thunder Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, the Thunder Emblem increases Normal Attack DMG by 12/24/40~24/48/80%. The character will obtain 1 stack of Thunder Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Skill (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack's duration is calculated independently.

Skyward Harp

CRIT Rate

Echoing Ballad

Increases CRIT DMG by 20~40%. Hits have a 60~100% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 4~2s.

Weapon Variations

Signature weapon

Fischl's personal weapon. Its passive synergizes well with Fischl, especially in this build.

Mitternachts Waltz

Physical DMG Bonus

Evernight Duet

Normal Attack hits on opponents increase Elemental Skill DMG by 20~40% for 5s. Elemental Skill hits on opponents increase Normal Attack DMG by 20~40% for 5s.

Best 4★ weapons

The recommended choice for this build.

Rust

ATK

Rapid Firing

Increases Normal Attack DMG by 40~80% but decreases Charged Attack DMG by 10%.

Crit Rate substats makes building easier while the passive is just generally useful

The Viridescent Hunt

CRIT Rate

Verdant Wind

Upon hit, Normal and Aimed Shot Attacks have a 50% chance to generate a Cyclone, which will continuously attract surrounding opponents, dealing 40~80% of ATK as DMG to these opponents every 0.5s for 4s. This effect can only occur once every 14~10s.

F2P Options

The passive is hard to pass up, even though it somewhat conflicts with what you go for in this build.

Prototype Crescent

ATK

Unreturning

Charged Attack hits on weak points increase Movement SPD by 10% and ATK by 36~72% for 10s.

Attack speed is hard to evaluate in terms of damage but it makes the playstyle feel easier to pilot.

Compound Bow

Physical DMG Bonus

Infusion Arrow

Normal Attack and Charged Attack hits increase ATK by 4~8% and Normal ATK SPD by 1.2~2.4% for 6s. Max 4 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s.

Artifacts

Best Sets

The best set for Physical DPS Fischl is a combination of these differents set. Use the ones with better substats and balanced crit ratio.

Pale Flame

2 Physical DMG Bonus +25%.

Bloodstained Chivalry

2 Physical DMG Bonus +25%.

Gladiator's Finale

2 ATK +18%.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence

2 ATK +18%.

Echoes of an Offering

2 ATK +18%.

Vermillion Hereafter

2 ATK +18%.

Artifact Variations

Other options

The 4pc effect can't be activated consistently but if you really have great substats, then it's worth using.

Pale Flame

2 Physical DMG Bonus +25%.

4 When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, ATK is increased by 9% for 7s. This effect stacks up to 2 times and can be triggered once every 0.3s. Once 2 stacks are reached, the 2-set effect is increased by 100%.

Fischl can take advantage of its 4pc and it'a also resin efficient to farm, however sticking to 2pc combinations is less time consuming and requires less investment and dedication.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence

2 ATK +18%.

4 When casting an Elemental Skill, if the character has 15 or more Energy, they lose 15 Energy and Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 50% for 10s. This effect will not trigger again during that duration.

Early Game

DPS Fischl is very good in early game. Equop this set to her and she'll turn into a solid damage dealer.
