A Fischl Guide by KQM

Updated for Version 4.5

“I, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, descend upon this land by the call of fate an— Oh, you are also a traveler from another world? Very well, I grant you permission to travel with me.”

Introduction

Fischl is a versatile 4-star Electro Bow character with a multitude of uses. The Prinzessin der Verurteilung has cemented herself as one of the game’s premier off-field Electro damage dealers for her strong off-field damage, great battery capabilities, and consistent Electro application. This Fischl guide examines Fischl’s best builds, weapons, artifacts, teams, combos, and more!

Why Play Fischl?

FAQ

“I, Fischl, have roamed the galaxy and traversed countless worlds. I have learned the fate of ten thousand universes and have had revealed unto me the destiny of every living soul.”

It is a common misconception that Fischl only serves as an off-field DPS. In reality, Fischl does much more than that.

Character Overview

Playstyles

Off-Field Fischl

Off-field Fischl centers around Oz and his ability to deal high off-field damage while contributing Energy Electro application. As an off-field DPS, Fischl only swaps in to summon or refresh Oz with her Skill and Burst.

On-Field Fischl

On-field Fischl emphasizes the use of her Normal Attacks. There are three primary variations of Fischl’s on-field playstyle: Oz-oriented Electro, Oz-oriented Physical, and C1-oriented Physical. In any variation, Fischl benefits greatly from teammates with strong off-field damage or support capabilities.

This playstyle is only briefly covered in this guide. Stay tuned for future updates for more information on Fischl’s on-field playstyle!

Talents

Constellations

Fischl provides a lot of utility, which includes her damage, particle generation, and Electro application. While Fischl does see a significant damage increase from C0 to C6, she is already a strong unit with a complete kit at C0. Her best Constellations are her C3 and C6, which improve her personal damage and Electro application.

ICD, EGT, and DMG Type

Below is a convenient table for identifying the Elemental Gauges, ICDs, and DMG types for each of Fischl’s attacks. If you are unfamiliar with the concepts of Elemental Gauges and ICD, you can visit the KQM TCL pages on Elemental Gauge Theory and ICD.

	DMG Type	Gauge	ICD	ICD Shared with
Normal Attacks	Normal Attack DMG	N/A	N/A	N/A
Aimed Shot	Charged Attack DMG	N/A	N/A	N/A
Fully-Charged Aimed Shot	Charged Attack DMG	1U	None	None
Oz Summon	Skill DMG	1U	None	None
Oz Attacks	Skill DMG	1U	4 hits/5s	C6
Burst	Burst DMG	1U	4 hits/5s	C4
A1	Charged Attack DMG	1U	None	None
A4	Skill DMG	1U	None*	None
C1	Normal Attack DMG	N/A	N/A	N/A
C4	Burst DMG	2U	4 hits/5s	Burst
C6 Triggers	Skill DMG	1U	4 hits/5s	Oz Attacks

*Fischl's A4 has a 0.5s trigger cooldown.

Mechanics

“Oz's full name is Ozvaldo von Hrafnavins. Where I hail from, he holds dominion over star and sky across three universes, and the souls of the mighty, fallen in battle, rest in the shadow of his wings.”

Oz

Oz is an integral part of Fischl’s kit: he is the source of Fischl’s particle generation and represents a significant portion of her damage even when Fischl is built as a Physical damage dealer. Oz’s uptime is also a requirement to trigger Fischl’s A4 Passive, which allows her to become an effective Electro enabler and high damage dealer in teams that take advantage of her kit.

Deploying Oz and Snapshotting

There are two ways to deploy Oz: Fischl’s Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst. 

When summoned through Fischl’s Elemental Skill, Oz snapshots on cast. Oz will also re-snapshot stats when resummoned by recasting Fischl’s Elemental Skill. 

When summoned through Fischl’s Elemental Burst, Oz snapshots when Fischl leaves Oz’s form (either by letting it naturally expire or forcefully ending it via swapping to another character). As such, it is important to deploy Oz within an area where buffs may be applied onto him (such as within Bennett’s Burst).

Note that Additive and Transformative Reactions do not snapshot EM and their damage is calculated using Fischl's current EM instead.

Oz and Range 

Fischl’s Talents have different ranges depending on the type of attack and the character used to activate them. 

• Oz has an attack range of 11m (~4.3 Abyss tiles) in a sphere around him. 
• Fischl’s A4 has a longer range of 15m (~5.9 Abyss tiles) and is affected by the attack range of the trigger character. Thus, Bow characters are better at activating Fischl’s A4.

A4 Range

Fischl’s A4 range is not completely understood. The current understanding is that it is centered around the active character rather than Oz. When the character’s attacks trigger an Electro reaction outside of said range, Fischl’s A4 fails to trigger. The following properties are also known:

• The range is based on the range of the character’s attacks and is generally larger for attacks with larger auto-targeting ranges.
• Abilities such as Beidou’s Burst or Oz affect the range radius centered around the player.

This is described in slightly more detail in the corresponding entry in the KQM Theorycrafting Library (TCL).

Oz and Geo Constructs

Oz’s attacks (from C1, C6, and his turret attacks) can be physically obstructed by certain Geo constructs, in particular Geo Traveler’s boulder and Zhongli’s pillar.

Oz’s Targeting Mechanics

Oz’s targeting is divided into two categories: manual targeting and auto-targeting.

Manual Targeting

Manual targeting influenced by the player is significantly less technical and complicated compared to how Oz determines to auto-target enemies. The two known ways of influencing Oz’s targeting manually are via Fischl’s A1 and C6. 

• Fischl’s C6 targets the enemy the player is attacking and causes Oz to change targets to said enemy. It is a huge QoL improvement that allows the player to attack specific enemies on demand.
• Fischl’s A1 targets the enemy closest to the player and causes Oz to change targets to said enemy. Given that this can be difficult to control and comes with additional downsides, it is not recommended to rely on this part of Fischl’s kit.

A4 Targeting

Fischl's A4 Talent targets the entity closest to the active character, not necessarily the enemy on whom the Electro reaction was triggered. Hyperbloom presents an issue for A4 targeting, since there is a possibility for the passive to target Dendro Cores if they are closer than enemies. Check out this Genshin Wiki article for details.

Particle Generation

Fischl’s particle generation is defined as a turret — that is, she generates particles over time rather than instantly. Oz has a 67% chance of generating one Electro Particle per attack, resulting in an expected 0.67 particles per second.

Note that Fischl can generate less Energy than expected on average due to RNG. For this reason, it is helpful to build more Energy Recharge than what Energy Recharge calculators estimate, or to use the “safe mode” option on the calculator.

Electro Reactions

Fischl provides a high, sustained rate of Electro application and can enable and trigger many Electro reactions. Elemental Reactions are key to Fischl’s role in a majority of her teams. Understanding the role Elemental Reactions play is key to teambuilding with Fischl.

For more in-depth information about reactions, the KQM Theorycrafting Library is an excellent place to learn about their intricacies. 

For more details on teams, check out the Teams Section.

Off-Field Builds

“To condemn the guilty, to sanctify the just, and to draw all castaway dreams into the embrace of the infinite Immernachtreich. This is the birthright of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, and her burden. None may gainsay it.” 

This section covers Fischl’s desired builds for both off-field and on-field playstyles. To keep things concise, the recommendations assume the player is preparing for Spiral Abyss, with playstyle information catered to a broad range of Abyss content.

Level and Talent Priority

≥ >>

Skill > Burst >> Normal Attack

Oz scales with Fischl’s Skill level, regardless of how he is summoned. As such, Fischl’s Skill has the highest leveling priority for her off-field playstyle. Additionally, it is still recommended to level her Burst to Talent Level 6 due to the cheap resource cost for extra damage. 

Note that if Fischl is in an Aggravate team, Level 90 is a significant damage increase from Level 80.

ER Requirements

While Fischl’s ER requirements are typically low, running some additional ER is generally recommended unless you only cast your Burst every other rotation. 

	Solo Electro	Double Electro
C0 — Skill + Burst Every ~40s	120–140%	100%
C6 — Skill + Burst Every ~40s	110–125%	100%
C0 — Skill + Burst Every ~25s	130–170%	100–125%
C6 — Skill + Burst Every ~25s	120–155%	100–115%

If you are unsure of how much ER you need, consult the Energy Recharge Calculator or GCSIM.

Artifact Stats

Sands	Goblet	Circlet
ATK% or EM (Aggravate)	Electro DMG Bonus	CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG

Stat Priority
Aggravate: ER% (until requirement) > CRIT > ATK% = EM 
Non-Aggravate: ER% (until requirement) > CRIT > ATK%

Fischl prefers a 1:2 CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio, so pick the CRIT Circlet that fits best. In Aggravate teams, EM and ATK% Sands perform similarly; ATK% can pull ahead with EM buffs or weapons and EM can perform better with ATK buffs or weapons.

Prioritize meeting ER requirements. Afterwards, CRIT stats are the most valuable, followed closely by ATK%, with Flat ATK being worth about half of that. EM becomes a good stat and is comparable to ATK% in Fischl’s Aggravate teams. Otherwise, it's only a minor buff to Transformative Reactions, which make up a small percentage of her damage.

ATK% Goblets are not recommended as they are often a downgrade from Electro DMG% Goblets. See the FAQ for a detailed explanation.

We recommend using Genshin Optimizer along with a multi-opt config to compare your actual artifacts.

Artifact Sets

Artifact Set Overview

The following 4pc artifact sets are not listed in order of strength.

4pc Golden Troupe (GT)	4pc Golden Troupe is Fischl’s best artifact set in a majority of teams, as it provides a 70% Skill DMG Bonus when off-field (which applies to Oz, her A4, and her C6). It performs 15–20% better than her alternatives for Fischl’s personal damage, so you should farm this set even if you already have other builds. Furthermore, 4pc Golden Troupe and 4pc Marechaussee Hunter are high in demand for many units, so the Domain is generally valuable to farm.
2pc Mixed Sets	2pc Bonuses: ATK%, ER%, EM, Skill DMG%, Electro DMG% Combinations of any 2-piece sets that boost Fischl’s damage are welcome and often optimal for players without usable Golden Troupe artifacts. Sets worth considering include any providing ATK%, ER%, or EM, 2pc Golden Troupe, and 2pc Thundering Fury.
4pc Thundering Fury (TF)	While Thundering Fury provides a good 2-piece effect for Fischl, the 4-piece set is typically not recommended as the cooldown reduction only applies to the on-field character. The DMG Bonus provided by 4pc TF is significant in Aggravate teams, but it is still not enough to top 2pc TF + 2pc ATK%. Nevertheless, 4pc TF’s cooldown reduction can shorten Fischl’s rotation time to 22–23s, or even 20s when she has more field time. This can be useful to sync Fischl’s abilities with those of her teammates.
4pc Gilded Dreams (GD)	4pc Gilded Dreams is a strong option for Fischl in Dendro teams. Its downside is that the buff requires triggering a reaction to activate. Using Burst first and hitting an enemy will trigger a reaction, but this method is inconsistent due to ping dependency and the time spent to hit an enemy. This means Oz may not snapshot the ATK% buff in the first rotation or in other circumstances without re-summons. Fortunately, Aggravate is calculated dynamically, meaning Fischl always benefits from the EM bonus, putting it on par with 2pc TF + 2pc ATK%.
4pc Tenacity of the Millelith (TotM)	While TotM’s 2-piece set effect is useless on Fischl, she is good at activating its 4-piece effect, which provides a decent teamwide ATK% buff. In theory, 4pc TotM may outperform other sets depending on how team damage is split towards other characters, such as with Eula. It is possible to recast Oz for the buff if you have rotation time. Use the Strongbox if you want to farm TotM unless you are also farming 4pc Pale Flame.
4pc Thundersoother (TS)	4pc Thundersoother is a decent option for off-field Fischl due to a strong 35% DMG Bonus against enemies affected by an Electro aura.  A good amount of Aggravate teams have high Electro aura uptime, since both Quicken and Electro auras can coexist. In teams with Nahida, high Electro application from an Electro teammate is necessary to maintain a simultaneous Electro aura, since Nahida has very strong Dendro application.

Artifact Set DPS Comparison

Weapons

Weapon Overview

Polar Star	Polar Star is off-field Fischl’s Best-in-Slot weapon, as it provides valuable CRIT Rate and unconditional Skill and Burst DMG% buffs. It is best to perform a Normal Attack before summoning Oz to snapshot an extra stack of the ATK% buff; otherwise, it performs slightly worse than usual.
The First Great Magic	The First Great Magic is a strong Bow for Fischl, as most of her teams run her with a second Electro unit (as do all the teams used for these calculations), which stacks the passive’s ATK% buff in addition to its CRIT DMG secondary stat. In some cases, it even outperforms a zero-stacked Polar Star. The First Great Magic decreases in effectiveness if Fischl is the only Electro unit in the team, which can make it lose out to other 5-star options.
Hunter’s Path	Hunter’s Path is a very strong option due to its high CRIT Rate secondary stat and its unconditional Elemental DMG% buff. Note that this weapon performs slightly worse outside of Aggravate without external Flat ATK buffs due to its lower Base ATK.
Aqua Simulacra	Aqua Simulacra provides a hefty CRIT DMG secondary stat and a great DMG% passive that can be maintained by sticking close to enemies. Note that this weapon performs slightly worse outside of Aggravate without external Flat ATK buffs due to its lower Base ATK.
Thundering Pulse	Thundering Pulse is another great CRIT DMG Bow, this time with an unconditional ATK% increase. While it performs slightly worse than the above options, Thundering Pulse gets bonus points for having the best drip.
Skyward Harp	Skyward Harp has a high Base ATK and a decent CRIT Rate secondary stat. Apart from its unconditional CRIT DMG buff, the damage from its passive is overall mediocre due to Fischl’s low field time. Nevertheless, Skyward Harp remains a solid option.
Amos’ Bow	Amos’ Bow has okay ATK% stats but a passive that is useless on off-field Fischl. Other 4-star Bows perform better than Amos in Aggravate teams or in teams with many external ATK% buffs. Despite this, Amos remains an overall decent option.
Elegy for the End	Elegy for the End allows Fischl to buff her team with a substantial 20% ATK and 100 EM, but this comes at the cost of decreasing her significant personal damage. While Oz is quite good at triggering Elegy’s passive, he only benefits from the EM buff in certain teams. Furthermore, the passive’s 20s downtime may desync with rotations, leading to a DPS loss. If you work around these considerations and use Elegy in a team that benefits from the EM buff, it can be quite good — such team archetypes include Quicken, Overvape, and Hyperbloom. In teams with multiple damage dealers such as Alhaitham Spread, it can even be Fischl’s BiS. However, you should consider if another character could make better use of Elegy, such as Yelan in Overvape.
Blackcliff Warbow	Blackcliff Warbow provides useful CRIT DMG through its secondary stat, but its passive’s ATK% buff is unreliable and inconsistent. A decent option for Fischl if you have it, but not worth buying from the Shop otherwise.
Scion of the Blazing Sun	Scion has a decent CRIT Rate secondary stat, but off-field Fischl cannot utilize its Charged Attack DMG% buff. It can be purchased through the Battle Pass.
The Viridescent Hunt	Viridescent Hunt provides useful CRIT Rate via its secondary stat and is available through the Battle Pass. The cyclone generated by its passive deals negligible additional damage but has niche uses for grouping and causing fall damage.
Alley Hunter	Alley Hunter is a strong 4-star option with a passive that offers a large amount of DMG%. The passive is stacked by being off-field, which synergizes well with Fischl’s off-field playstyle. It is only available through the Weapon Banner.
The Stringless	Stringless is Aggravate Fischl’s strongest 4-star Bow due to its good stats and excellent passive, which boosts Skill and Burst DMG%. Outside of Quicken, other options outperform it. Note that the performance of Stringless is more dependent on its refinements compared to other weapons.
Range Gauge, Song of Stillness	Song of Stillness is a Fontaine craftable weapon while Range Gauge is limited to Weapon Banner only. Both Bows provide valuable buffs that apply even off-field. Range Gauge brings Elemental DMG% and ATK% and Song of Stillness gives DMG%, and the longevity of these buffs sets both Bows apart from other ATK% options. As their buffs are reliant on Fischl being healed, Fischl should run with a healer if equipped with either weapon. Note that Fischl’s C4 self-healing from her Burst happens after the snapshot, and cannot be used to stack the passive unless Oz is resummoned.
ATK% Bows	Mouun’s Moon, Hamayumi, Ibis Piercer, King’s Squire, Prototype Crescent, Rust, Royal Bow General ATK% weapons with passives that do not benefit off-field Fischl. Hamayumi, Prototype Crescent, and King’s Squire are all craftable weapons, while Ibis Piercer was freely obtainable during a past event. Mouun’s Moon and Royal Bow are only available through the Weapon Banner and the Starglitter shop, respectively. Prototype Crescent requires Fischl to hit enemy weak points to benefit from its passive — a feat that is impractical in regular combat. Note that the passive does not require a fully-charged shot and can be triggered by an uncharged Aimed Shot. If you do not hit enemy weak points with Prototype Crescent, it ties with Rust. While Royal Bow’s passive appears useful, it is not worth spending time building up stacks due to the inconsistency of knowing when to stop and the time taken. It is definitely not worth the Starglitter to purchase.
Fading Twilight	Fading Twilight is a 4-star Bow freely obtained during an event in Version 2.7. It is the recommended free option if you have it and do not want to craft Prototype Crescent. It has a good passive and gains value if you need extra ER% stats.
Windblume Ode	An old event weapon, Windblume Ode provides EM through its secondary stat and a decent ATK% buff through its passive. It performs decently in Quicken but falls off otherwise.
Favonius Warbow	While Favonius Warbow provides nothing for Fischl’s personal damage, its Energy particle generation lowers the ER needs of her teammates, allowing them to build more offensive stats. There is usually a better teammate to equip a Favonius weapon on, but should players lack other Favonius weapons, Favonius on Fischl is serviceable though underwhelming.
Sharpshooter’s Oath, Slingshot	Both Bows are accessible 3-star options that can serve as decent transitory gear for players with no better weapon options.

Weapon Comparison

Off-Field Gameplay

Fischl is a popular pick for an off-field character due to her ease of use and low field time requirements. However, she often fulfills more important roles than people realize. This section covers fundamental mechanics of Fischl’s kit that help you better understand her utility and functionality.

Fischl is the premier Electro Particle generator, having strong synergy with other Electro units. Fischl also lowers ER requirements for non-Electro units, although the reduction is less pronounced and those units may prefer other dedicated batteries of the same Element.

Electro Application

Fischl is an excellent Electro applier. However, there are some important mechanics to consider in order to maximize her potential.

Rate of Electro Application

Fischl’s Electro application rate depends on multiple factors. It varies widely from team to team and affects her own damage as well via the frequency of A4 procs. There are three key sources of Electro application in Fischl’s kit: Oz, Fischl’s C6, and her A4 Passive.

• Oz and Fischl’s C6: Oz fires one attack per second and applies 1U Electro with a 4 hit/5s ICD. He is a reasonable source of Electro application on his own. Since Oz’s turret shots share ICD with Fischl’s C6 (i.e., C6 hits effectively count as Oz’s shots for Electro application purposes), Oz’s Electro application is significantly enhanced by her C6 in conjunction with fast-attacking characters.

• A4: Triggers whenever the on-field character triggers an Electro reaction, with a 0.5s cooldown. Fischl’s A4 procs apply 1U of Electro without ICD. This is what allows Fischl to keep an Electro aura up indefinitely in many teams. However, if the Electro aura is cleared, it may become difficult to re-establish a new Electro aura, which plays a significant role in Overloaded teams.

Elemental Shield Break

Fischl’s high rate of Electro application can be used to break certain shields. Even though there is often a more efficient Element or character for breaking any given Elemental shield, using Fischl’s A4 Electro application by having her on-field is serviceable if without other options. You may read the KQM Theorycrafting Library or the Genshin Impact Wiki for more information on Elemental Gauge Theory.

Buffing

Although Fischl herself does not have buffing in her base kit, her synergy with various supportive weapons and artifacts can let her buff her teammates nonetheless. 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith provides a 20% ATK buff to the rest of the team, and Fischl can maintain practically 100% uptime thanks to Oz. It is only recommended to farm this set using the Artifact Strongbox (unless you are also farming for Pale Flame).

Elegy for the End, a 5-star Bow, is a solid buffing option in Overvape and Quicken teams if you have access to it.

Rotations

As mentioned before, Fischl’s Burst has a 15s cooldown while her Skill has a 25s cooldown, which can greatly limit rotation options.

The time gap between Fischl’s Skill and Burst casts usually depends on her teammates’ field time needs. For teams without strict rotations, Fischl can use her Elemental Skill off cooldown and alternate between casting her Skill and Burst, making her personal rotation 25s long.

For teams with strict rotations, Fischl’s personal rotation must be at least 25s long. You have two options to achieve this:

1. Extend the team’s rotation to 25s. This is generally a good idea only if the rotation is already very close to 25s (e.g., Xiangling or Ayato rotations where they use their Skill twice or many Neuvillette rotations).
2. Extend Fischl’s personal rotation beyond 25s without adjusting the team’s rotation (Fischl’s personal rotation will be either a standard 1 Skill per 1 Burst rotation, or she will start with her Burst, refresh Oz with her Skill, and end with her Burst before repeating). Fischl’s personal rotation length should be the next highest multiple of the team’s rotation length. For example, in a Hu Tao team whose team rotation is 21s, Fischl uses a 42s personal rotation, either alternating between Skill and Burst in separate 21s intervals or using Burst every rotation and only using her Skill every other. Read the following section for more explanation.

Casting Burst Early

Because Fischl's Burst has a 15s cooldown and the ability to extend Oz's uptime, one might think that it is possible to shorten her total rotation time. However, Fischl’s Skill cooldown is still 25s, which is unaffected by the Burst. This means that potential rotations look a bit like:

Burst > Skill > Burst > Burst > Skill > Burst > …

This pattern allows Fischl to fit into rotations shorter than 25s. Generally speaking, Fischl uses her Burst every rotation and fills some of her downtime with Skill casts. This is preferred with on-field Raiden, who wants Fischl to Burst every rotation for Resolve stacks and is able to provide Fischl with the Energy to do so. However, in other cases, Fischl would need to build enough Energy Recharge to refill her Burst in consecutive rotations, which is generally only viable in Double Electro teams.

Skill and Burst Order

When extending Oz’s uptime, it is generally not ideal to overwrite her Elemental Skill with her Burst. However, if the team’s rotation demands that Fischl can only take the field within 10s (or 12s) of her previous swap-in, then it is important to use her Burst to overwrite her Elemental Skill, since she cannot do so the other way around.

Outside of extending Oz’s uptime, starting with Fischl’s Elemental Skill or her Elemental Burst depends on the duration of the battle. It is not a good idea to end a fight using Fischl’s Elemental Burst, as she will start the next fight without enough Energy to use her Burst when she needs it. This is especially important in Abyss floors where enemies can avoid Oz’s attacks, as that prevents Oz from generating Energy and leads to a significant Energy deficit.

Synergies

“Should this world, like a beast prowling in the night, covet your dreams, then I, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, shall fell it with my ensorcelled arrows of judgment!” 

Fischl has synergy with a wide range of characters, which makes her a great pick in a variety of reaction-based team compositions. Note that even if a synergy isn't highly rated or included, that doesn’t mean it can never be considered; it is highly recommended to experiment with Fischl’s large variety of uses.

Teams

This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect its power level.

Quicken

Fischl is a core member of many Quicken teams due to her A4 Passive’s high synergy with Quicken. As her A4 procs lack ICD, Fischl can trigger Aggravate every time the on-field character triggers an Electro-related reaction, up to once every 0.5s. Since Quicken makes every instance of Electro application trigger Aggravate, Fischl triggers an immense amount of Aggravate reactions with an Electro or Anemo driver.

Note: Running Nahida with an Anemo flex unit makes Swirling Electro more difficult due to Nahida’s 1.5U Dendro application. You can try to apply an Electro aura by using Normal Attacks to proc Fischl's C6 and A4 Passive, but even then it can be difficult maintain.

Hyperbloom

Fischl provides great supplemental damage in Hyperbloom teams, since Oz inconsistently hits Dendro Cores. This allows another Electro unit to take ownership of Hyperbloom or an Anemo character to Swirl Fischl’s Electro application and trigger Hyperbloom. In teams with a slow Hydro applier, you sometimes have a leftover Quicken aura, leading to “Quickbloom” teams that maintain higher Quicken uptime while still allowing Bloom.

Example Teams

Rotation

Fischl’s high Electro application can maintain an Electro aura for Sucrose to Swirl — these Electro Swirls can then trigger Hyperbloom on any Dendro Cores in range.

Rotation
Fischl E > Traveler EQ > Xingqiu EDQ N2 > Sucrose (Q) E 3[N3D] > Traveler E > Fischl Q > Sucrose combo

This team has a fairly flexible rotation. You use abilities off cooldown and drive with Sucrose.

Electro-Charged

Electro-Charged teams typically include Fischl, a Hydro unit, and an Anemo unit. Anemo drivers are more beneficial in AoE scenarios where their Swirls do more damage and they have higher ownership of Electro-Charged. In single-target scenarios, other drivers such as Raiden perform better.

Example Teams

Overloaded

Fischl can pair with a Pyro unit (typically Bennett) to form an Overloaded core. These teams focus more on raw Electro and Pyro damage and treat Overloaded reactions as nice additional damage, so Fischl does not build EM.

Overvape

Fischl is the premier Electro unit in Overvape teams with a Pyro DPS unit. When Fischl and a Hydro unit trigger the Electro-Charged reaction, both Electro and Hydro auras can coexist on the enemy. A single instance of Pyro application triggers both the Overloaded and Vaporize reactions, hence the name “Overvape.”

Example Teams

Rotation
Fischl E N1 > Xingqiu Q N1 > Bennett N1 Q E > Xiangling N1 Q N1 ED > Bennett N1 E > Xingqiu ED N2 > Fischl N2 Q > Bennett N2 E > Xingqiu N2 > Bennett N5 E > Xiangling N2 ED N1 > Bennett N2 E > Xiangling N2

Bennett should be on 4pc Thundering Fury. Regarding his combo, Bennett should continuously perform Normal Attacks and Skills until Xingqiu’s Burst ends. This is Bennett’s general rotation regardless of whether he is C6 or not.

Rotation
Xingqiu EDQ N1 > Bennett E N1 Q > Fischl N2 Q > Lisa Q > Bennett combo> Fischl E N1 > (Lisa hE) > Bennett E N1

Anemo Overvape

A subclass of Overvape teams, Anemo Overvape mixes Electro, Hydro, Pyro, and Anemo together to trigger many reactions (such as Electro-Charged, Overloaded, Vaporize, and Swirl). Fischl is the best enabler for the Electro reactions in Anemo Overvape teams.

Example Teams

Rotation
Ayato Q > Fischl E > Kazuha tEP > Ayato E N15 > Bennett EQ > Fischl Q > Kazuha tEPQ > Ayato E N15

See the Ayato Extended Guide for more details.

Note that this team, informally referred to as “Sukokomon,” has a unique, mechanically-intensive playstyle. See its entry in the KQM Team Compendium for more information before playing it.

Rotation
Fischl E > Kokomi E > Xiangling E > Sucrose N1 E N2 E N1 > Xiangling Q > Kokomi Q N2C N2D N2C > Fischl Q > Xiangling E > Sucrose N1 E N1 Q 5[N3D]

Physical DPS Support

Fischl’s off-field Electro application, when paired with a Cryo unit, enables Superconduct to decrease enemy Physical RES for a Physical DPS. If no other teammate holds 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith, it becomes Fischl’s BiS artifact set in Physical teams when facing multi-target content.

Example Teams

Rotation
Fischl E/Q > Rosaria E > Diona 1–2[hE] > Eula E > Rosaria Q > Eula Q N4 hE N4 > Rosaria E > Eula N4D N4

See the Eula Extended Guide for more details.

Geo DPS Support

Fischl’s off-field Electro application allows Geo units to consistently trigger Crystallize and consequently activate Geo Resonance without needing Zhongli. Navia also makes great use of Crystallize shards to empower her Elemental Skill. 

Example Teams

Rotation
Zhongli hED N1 > Navia Q > Bennett tEQ > Fischl E/Q > Navia 2[E N3D N2] > Bennett tE N1
