Key Takeaways

  • Fischl is a 4-star Electro user who wields a bow as her primary weapon.
  • Fischl holds the self-appointed regal title of “Prinzessin der Verurteilung” translating to “Princess of Condemnation” and can also summon Oz, a raven that aids her in combat.
  • The best sub-DPS build for an Electro user like Fischl focuses on increasing her Elemental Skill damage and Elemental Mastery or Crit Rate.
  • Polar Star is a 5-star bow and the best weapon for Fischl as its passive ability enhances her Normal and Charged attacks, but Slingshot and Stringless are good F2P options. 
  • Gilded Dreams is the best artifact set for Fischl as it can increase both her Elemental Mastery and ATK% based on your team comp. Thundering Fury is also a viable alternative.

Fischl specializes in dealing Electro damage as a sub-DPS with the help of her raven Oz. She is exceptionally powerful despite being a 4-star character and allows for some fun reaction-based team comps.

Fischl is currently one of the best Sub-DPS characters in Genshin Impact (You can check out our Sub-DPS Tier List here)

Introduction Fischl

Fischl is an adventurer in Mondstadt known for her eccentric personality. She speaks of herself in a verbose manner, requiring her Familiar Oz to translate most of her statements to the people around her. In battle, she can summon Oz, a raven that aids her in combat and deals Electro damage to her enemies.

The best build for any sub-DPS depends upon your available team comps and artifact sets. However, for a sub-DPS Electro user like Fischl we recommend a build that raises her Elemental Skill while maximizing her Electro DMG and Crit Ratios.

Best 5 Star Weapon

Fischl Polar Star

Polar Star

The Polar Star is a powerful 5-star bow, best suited for characters like Fischl who deal increased amounts of Elemental damage as its passive ability enhances their attacks. 

This weapon aims to increase Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 12% while raising the CRIT Rate by 7.2% as a bonus stat. 

Best F2P Weapon

Fischl the Stringless

The Stringless

Another excellent option for her is the 4-star bow The Stringless. Not only does it boost her Elemental Master by 165, allowing for powerful Elemental Reactions, it also boosts both her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage by 24%. You can refine this weapon fairly easily too.

This make the Stringless one of the best weapons to get the most sub-DPS damage output from Fischl.

Slingshot

Slingshot is a good F2P option for increased damage-dealing characters like her as it visibly increases CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG at high levels while also raising Normal Attack DMG by 36%.

This powerful bow can be an excellent budget option for players who may not have access to higher rarity bows.

Fischl Best Artifacts

Fischl Gilded Dreams Artifact Set

Gilded Dreams

Set PiecesSet Piece Bonus
2-Piece BonusElemental Mastery +80
4-Piece BonusWithin 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and EM is increased by 50 for every member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field.

The best artifacts set for Fischl should focus on increasing the damage that Oz can deal while Fischl is off-field. For this, we want to maximize our Elemental Mastery and ATK%.

Gilded Dreams increases her Elemental Mastery by +80, which makes her Elemental Reactions a lot more potent. It can provide up to 150 more Elemental Mastery or a 14% ATK increase for every Party Member with a different Elemental Type.
