Best characters for Splendor of Tranquil Waters in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact's upcoming 4.2 update is set to introduce a multitude of things to the game, including new characters, weapons, map expansion, and more. Amongst these new entries, fans are highly excited about the Hydro Archon, Furina, and her leaked signature weapon, the Splendor of Tranquil Waters. Both are expected to be of the 5-star rarity, with a probable release date of November 8, 2023.

Although owning a 5-star weapon isn't a requirement in HoYoverse's RPG, often times they are the best-in-slot (BiS) option for most characters. As such, Furina fans may find it tempting to pull for her upcoming signature sword, Splendor of Tranquil Waters.

In this article, we will cover the leaked information regarding this new 5-star sword, alongside discussing who are the best characters to make use of Furina's sword, Splendor of Tranquil Waters, in Genshin Impact.

The Hydro Archon, Furina, aka Focalors, is amongst the most-awaited characters in Genshin Impact. Owing to her status as the God of Justice, a lot of players are eager to pull for her; she is expected to be released on November 8, 2023.

It is believed that she will be featured alongside her signature 5-star sword, Splendor of Tranquil Waters. As per leaks, its stats are as follows:

Base ATK	542
Secondary Stat	88.2% Crit DMG

This sword is a high Crit DMG stat stick, with a passive effect tailor-made for Hydro Archon Furina. It buffs the user's Elemental Skill, while also providing them with additional HP. While both these effects may appear to be decent buffs, there are only a handful of units in the game that can make use of Focalor's weapon.

Best characters for Splendor of Tranquil Waters in Genshin Impact

1) Furina

Furina is the most natural choice for the Splendor of Tranquil Waters in Genshin Impact. The Hydro Archon's leaked kit revolves around her HP, and the additional boost to it that can be obtained via this weapon's passive is very good for her.

Aside from that, she has an extremely versatile Elemental Skill, which may allow her to either deal off-field Hydro DMG to enemies or heal the active character. Since that's the most important part of her gameplay, her BiS weapon is capable of buffing its damage.

2) Lynette

Lynette is a 4-star Anemo character from Fontaine. Similar to other units from the region, her kit allows her to increase and decrease her HP. She can do so via her Elemental Skill, which makes her a viable candidate for the Splendor of Tranquil Waters.

However, players must note that Lynette's best ability is her Elemental Burst, and as such, they won't often rely on her Elemental Skill as the source of damage.

3) Kuki Shinobu

As a 4-star Electro unit from Inazuma, Kuki Shinobu has been in Genshin Impact for quite some time now. Although she wasn't considered to be good initially, the introduction of Dendro made her quite relevant in the meta.

Kuki Shinobu is generally used to apply off-field Electro damage and heal characters via her Elemental Skill in Hyperbloom and Aggravate team compositions. Her skill also reduces her HP when it is used, and then periodically recovers it based on her max HP. Therefore, both of these effects can allow Shinobu to make efficient use of Furina's weapon in Genshin Impact.

4) Nilou

Nilou is another 5-star Hydro character that scales off max HP in the game. Her kit focuses on her Elemental Skill, and she can make good use of the additional HP from the Splendor of Tranquil Water's passive.

However, it is important to note that she is traditionally used in Bloom teams and Dendro Cores do not Crit. Therefore, the 5-star weapon's Crit DMG stat will not be able to influence the main source of damage in her teams.
