In Genshin Impact, Sidzhvin is a 5-star character belonging to the Hydro element and using a bow in battle. In a squad, she can play the role of a support/healer, and under certain conditions, a full-fledged sub-DD. In this guide, you will learn about her best builds, weapons and artifacts, as well as the most optimal teams with her
Note: Nurse of Meropid's Fortress has not yet been officially released, so the data presented here is based on information received as part of the beta testing. If necessary, we will update the guide when the heroine appears in the game.
Main features of Sijwin
How to get Sijwin
In the second phase of update 4.7 (starting June 26), the Head Nurse from the Meropid Fortress will appear in the banner, which will increase the chance of her dropping. In the future, it will be possible to obtain this character only with the help of Prayers. Unfortunately, HoYoverse has never held an event where the reward would be a 5-star fighter, so you definitely won’t be able to get an archer for free.
Progression Sijwin's characteristics
The table below shows how the heroine's basic parameters change as her level increases.
| Level< /th> | Base HP | Base Attack | Base Defense | HP Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1039 | 15 | 39 | 0% |
| 20 | 2695 | 39 | 101 | 0% |
| 40+ | 5999 | 87 | 225 | 7.2% |
| 60 | 8659 | 125 | 324 | 14.4% |
| 80 | 11777 | 170 | 441 | 21.6% |
| 90 | 13348 | Â 193 | 500 | 28.8% |
The standard indicators of critical damage and critical hit chance are 50% and 5%, respectively.
Advantages and disadvantages of Sijwin
Using her unique abilities, this heroine can support (heal) her allies, and cause Hydro damage to enemies. Its advantages also include:
- A good healer who can heal from the pocket with an elemental skill, and therefore she does not need to accumulate energy to heal allies with her ult. Despite the relatively low healing multipliers, the heroine can still restore a large amount of health, since the skill works 5 times. In addition, HP regeneration occurs immediately for the entire squad.
- Able to independently restore additional energy, incurring a life debt.
- Has a relatively high base health, plus this parameter increases with elevation. All main abilities depend on HP, so collecting Sidzhwin is extremely simple, since it is enough to increase her only one characteristic.
- Perfectly combined with sub-DDs who deal damage from the pocket using their elemental skills, so how she can increase this damage.
- Perhaps she is the best support for Furina, as she gradually restores the health of the entire squad absorbed by the abilities of the former Hydro Archon, and strengthens the offensive version of the swordswoman's skill.
- Capable of inflicting Hydro damage with her elemental explosion and elemental skill from the pocket, therefore, with proper leveling, she can even serve as a secondary damage dealer.
- Has partial crowd control, since her bubbles can capture weak enemies, which allows reducing damage received and make it easier to destroy nimble opponents.
- Much simplifies battles underwater, since one of her passives provides periodic healing in underwater locations.
- Even without constellations, it can perform its main task well – healing allies.
However, it is definitely impossible to call Sijwin an ideal character, since she has there are serious disadvantages:
- The healing, although significant, is however extended over time, which in some situations may be inferior to abilities that can instantly heal a large amount of health for the entire squad.
- Only the signature weapon is completely suitable for the heroine, since besides it there are only 3 -star Recurve Bow is able to increase HP with its secondary stat.
- It is indeed possible to turn Sijwin into a sub-DD, but this will require a significant investment. In addition to the signature, you will definitely have to knock out C4 and C6 in order to at least slightly increase the benefit of the ult. You will also have to pay more attention to crits and energy recovery, which will complicate the selection of artifacts.
- If you level up the heroine only as a healer, then her elemental explosion becomes completely useless, since it will only take time away from the main DD without causing significant damage to enemies.
- The bonus to damage from the elemental skills of allies is relatively low, so it’s definitely not worth taking Sijwin into the squad just for the sake of it.
- It has a low Hydro application, since the E-Shki Hydro’s damage is significantly spread out over time and attacks are carried out a limited number of times, and the ult has a short duration of action. For this reason, in teams on Steam, for example, it will be of little use. However, Sijwin can be taken into squads playing through Catalysis, where frequent applications are not required.
Sijwin's Abilities
When performing a normal attack “Targeted Therapy”, the heroine makes up to 3 x consecutive shots, and a falling strike shoots out a hail of arrows that deal area damage when the character lands.
When you hold down the charged attack button, the head nurse fires a targeted shot with increased damage. While aiming, the arrow begins to accumulate a Hydro charge. Once fully charged, Sijwin begins to periodically release slow-flying Bubbles of Compassion at the enemy, which inflict Hydro damage. When fired, an arrow imbued with the power of streams will cause Hydro damage when it hits the target.
Explanation: Low base attack and low multipliers prevent normal attacks from being used to do any damage. significant damage, so you won't use them often. But they can release beautiful bubbles in the shape of hearts.
After using the elemental skill “Jumping Hydrotherapy”, the heroine releases an Invigorating Balm Bubble, which moves between nearby enemies and deals Hydro damage to them (if there is none, then it simply jumps nearby), proportional to her maximum health. When it bounces, it restores hit points to all allies. The amount of healing depends on the nurse's HP. After making 5 jumps, the ball disappears, restoring Sijwin’s health. You can only summon one balm bubble at a time.
A long press will activate a targeting mode where the archer will charge a bubble, releasing a larger, stronger version of it. There are 2 levels of growth depending on the duration of holding the skill button. Each of them increases the healing and damage dealt by the ball by 5%. After the rebound, the bubble loses one level of growth, then turning into a regular bubble. A large bubble can enclose weak enemies, preventing them from moving.
When this skill is activated, 2 source drops appear near the nurse, and when consumed, each of them receives Life Debt equal to 10% of her maximum health. After removing the debuff, for every 2000 units of it, it restores 1 unit of energy. Maximum Sijwin can restore up to 5 units of energy. Let's add that the Blade of Turbulent Waters falls on enemies hit by the balm-bubble, causing damage to Usia.
Explanation: The bubble bounces from one enemy to another 5 times (or hits the same enemy if there is no one else nearby) every 2 seconds. If you long press E, the first bounce will damage and heal allies by 10% more than usual, and the second – by 5%. The large bubble can immobilize small enemies for 2 seconds.
The main task of the skill is only to heal the entire team, since it does little damage, and its Hydro application does not have enough stars from the sky – for 5 bounces it imposes Hydro status only 3 times (if all attacks hit 1 enemy). The benefit of a long press is small, so you will lose little if you use a regular or 1-level E-shka.
The explosion of the element “Super-saturated injection” allows the heroine to cause periodic Hydro damage to the area directly in front of her in the amount , proportional to her maximum health. When using an ult, it automatically collects up to 2 drops of a source located nearby.
Explanation: Over 2.5 seconds, deals Hydro damage in front of you, making 6 attacks. With 60,000 health and ult level 10, this attack will deal approximately 76 thousand damage and will inflict Hydro status only once. In this case, the ultimate itself, along with the animation, will take 5 seconds from the main damage dealer. So using an elemental explosion without C4 and C6 only makes sense in a revolver squad.
The mechanics of absorbing drops are quite convenient, since you don’t have to run after them yourself. In theory, these drops can make it easier for you to gain energy for your ultimate, given the lack of energy recovery in artifacts, but it is unlikely that 5 units will significantly speed up energy gain.
It is also impossible not to point out the extremely useful passive talents of Melusine. The first is called “Required Full Rest” and, after activating an elemental skill, gives Sijwyn a Semi-Forced Rest status for 18 seconds, during which she is given an 8% bonus to Hydro Damage and 10 stacks of Recovery. When elemental skills inflict damage on inactive heroes, 1 level of Recovery is spent, and the damage itself increases by 80 units for every 1000 units of health exceeding 30,000 of the nurse’s maximum HP. Maximum damage can increase by 2800 units.
Explanation: To get the maximum increase, you need to bring the heroine's health to 65,000 units. The bonus does not apply to other people's heroes in co-op mode. You should also remember that 10 levels are not given to each character, but to the entire team, so if you need the group member with the most powerful E-shank to receive the buff, then under no circumstances activate other pocket skills. However, you shouldn’t rush too much with this passive, since over 10 levels it can give a maximum of 18,000 direct damage. Even if you take Furina, ideal for Sijwin, without constellations with average crits, she will be able to receive an increase in damage in the amount of 45-55 thousand units, which, of course, is pleasant, but will not radically affect the battle.
Second passive – “Meticulous diagnosis and treatment” – increases the outgoing healing of the nurse by 3% for every 1000 units of Life Debt on all characters. The maximum bonus amount cannot exceed 30%.
Explanation: To get the greatest buff, you need to collect 10,000 units of Life Debt. You can do this without any problems by picking up 2 drops of the source if Sijwin's health is at least 50,000 units (quite easy to collect if you take everything on HP). So the nurse herself can activate this passive without any outside help – this will significantly boost her healing abilities, so we highly recommend that you pick up the drops.
The last passive talent is called “Emergency Dosage” and allows you to heal the active hero for 2.5 seconds if his health is below 50% underwater. Healing is proportional to 50% of his maximum HP. Plus, resistance to all types of damage is reduced by 10% for 10 seconds. This bonus can work once every 20 seconds.
Sijwin Constellations
To open them, you need to accumulate the character's Luck, which is issued when duplicates of the heroine appear, which, of course, is random. Given the low chance of getting 5-star heroes, you will need to spend a lot of time and money to unlock all constellations. However, even without them, Sidzhvin can serve as a healer quite well.
If you still decide to try your luck, then we recommend that you stop at C1 and C2, which will significantly increase the effectiveness of the elemental skill, because it will not only be able to heal better and deal more damage, but will also provide a strong shield and reduce the Hydro resistance of enemies. Let us add that if you have a choice between a signature weapon and the 1st Constellation, then we recommend taking the second option.
Here is the full list of constellations:
- Do the happiest souls know anxiety? – gives 3 additional bounces to an elemental skill, and during the first 3 jumps the bubble does not decrease in size. In addition, each bounce now gives 1 level of Recovery, that is, there are 18 of them in total. Moreover, every 1000 units of health exceeding 30,000 units of the heroine’s maximum HP increases the damage from allies’ pocket skills by 100 units. Maximum it can increase by 3500 units.
- Can the most merciful of souls defeat their enemies? – when using a skill and an ult, a bubble shield appears, the strength of which is 30% of the heroine’s maximum health. It absorbs Hydro damage with 250% efficiency. When a Bubble Balm or Ultimate hits enemies, their Hydro Resistance drops by 35% for 8 seconds.
- Can the healthiest of souls cure heat? – the skill level increases by three. Maximum level: 15th.
- Can the most beautiful of souls stop withering? – increases the duration of the ult by 3 seconds.
- Can the most joyful of souls deliver from torment? – Ultimate level increases by three. Maximum level: 15th.
- Will the brightest of souls offer prayers for me? – when healing characters, the critical damage and critical hit chance of her ultimate increases by 2.2% and 0.4%, respectively, for every 1000 units of the heroine’s maximum health. The bonus lasts 15 seconds. Maximum crit. damage can increase by 110%, and crit chance by 20%.
The first constellation only slightly increases the damage from the E-shka, so it won’t make a full-fledged sub-damage out of a nurse. Signature weapons, C4 and C6 can significantly increase the damage from her ultimate. In this case, it will make sense to use Super Saturated Injection every rotation.
How to play as Sijwin
If you plan to use Sijwin only as a healer/buffer, then her gameplay will be as easy as possible. You will simply need to activate Melusine's elemental skill, then go into your pocket. Balm bubbles will bounce off enemies, healing all your characters. At C1, the duration of the E-shka will be 16 seconds, that is, it will be able to work almost constantly, because the cooldown of the skill is 18 seconds.
Don’t also forget about the bonus from the “Requires full rest” passive, which, with C1 open, gives a significant increase to the pocket elemental skills of allies. For this reason, E-shku Sijwin should be activated before using the skills of your secondary damage dealers.
When you open all constellations and receive signature weapons, you should add an elemental explosion to your rotation, as it will begin to cause significant damage to enemies and provide additional shield. In general, the optimal rotation for the heroine will look like this:
- Use an elemental skill with a long press, however, it is not necessary to gain the 2nd level of the bubble – the 1st level will be enough. The main thing is that 2 drops of the source appear, the collection of which will increase the effectiveness of healing.
- Activate the pocket abilities of all your sub-dampers or only the secondary damage dealer whose skill you consider the most powerful, so that only it receives the buff from Sijwin's passive .
- Switch to the main damage dealer and start damaging enemies within 10-16 seconds. Then use the Melusine skill again. If the nurse is a full-fledged sub-detonator, then you can activate her elemental explosion before this.
Best builds for Sijwin
Best weapons
When choosing a bow, priority should be given to those options that increase health and energy recovery, and also provide any bonuses to the team. If you managed to make the heroine a sub-DD, then you can also look at options that enhance crits, elemental skills and ultimate. The table below presents the most interesting options.
| Name and rarity | Characteristics (level 1 -90) | Passive ability |
|---|---|---|
Heartstrings of Rain (5 stars) | HP: 14.4%~66.2% Base attack: 44~542 | A character equipped with this bow gains the ability to accumulate up to 3 levels of the Blessing effect. The first level is given for 25 seconds after using an elemental skill. The second level is activated for 25 seconds after increasing life debt. The last third level of Blessing is given for 20 seconds after healing any other characters. These conditions can be met in any order. The health of the owner of a bow with 1/2/3 levels of Blessing increases by 12(24)%/24(48)%/40(80)%. In addition to all of the above, when a character accumulates 3 stacks of Blessing, his chance of a critical hit with an ultimate increases by 28-56%, but as soon as the levels drop below three, the buff on the critical chance will disappear within 4 seconds. Â Â Sijwin's signature, which perfectly adapts to her rotation: use the E-shka with a long press, collect drops of the source, and after the skill ends, you receive the maximum level of Blessing and activate the ultimate, which deals increased damage. This weapon is suitable for both healer and sub-dealer. However, again, if you choose between C1 and this bow, we recommend knocking out the constellation. |
Recurve bow (3-star) | HP: 10.2%~46.9% Base attack: 38~354 | When defeating enemies restores 8 percent of health. Unfortunately, with the exception of the signature, this is the only bow that increases health with its secondary characteristic. Excellent for a healer, as it increases the effectiveness of treatment and the buff from the first passive talent of the nurse. But it only drops out of chests in Mondstadt, so if you managed to take it apart, then all you have to do is wait for the Port of Thorns to come out. |
Elegy of Perdition (5-star) | < p>Energy recovery: 12%~55.1% Base attack: 46~608 | Increases elemental mastery by 60 points. When you hit an enemy with an elemental skill or an elemental explosion, a talisman of memories appears. If you receive 4 talismans, they are reset, causing the Farewell Hymn effect, which increases the elemental mastery of all team members by 100 units and the attack indicator by 20 percent. Talismans begin to appear again only after 20 seconds. It can be called a universal weapon for buffers, as it increases the elemental mastery and attack power of allies. Increasing energy recovery will allow you to use your ultimate more often, which will help you gain Memory Talismans faster. This bow will perform best in Dendro Reaction teams. |
Aqua Simulacrum (5-star) | Critical damage: 19.2%~88.2% Base attack: 44~542 | Increases HP by 16 percent. If there are opponents nearby, it increases the damage inflicted by the hero by 20 percent. The bonus is issued even if the character is not on the battlefield. The only bow other than the signature that increases the owner's health in the passive mode. This allows you to increase Melusine's healing and buffing abilities, but it is still best suited for sub-detonation, as it increases crit. damage and general damage. We advise you to focus on increasing the critical hit chance in artifacts. |
Favonius War Bow (4-star) | Energy recovery: 13.3%~61.3% Base attack: 41~454 | When critical strikes are dealt, there is a 60% chance of creating elemental particles that restore 6 units of energy. The effect occurs once every 12 seconds. Another universal bow for supports, allowing you to fill the entire team with energy. However, the passive requires the owner to be on the battlefield and have a high crit chance (50-60%; you will have to gain it through the lower stats of artifacts), which is not very necessary for Sidgwin. The easiest way to activate this bow is through the ult, since in this case you will not need many crits. |
Stringless (4-star) | Elemental Mastery: 36~165 Base attack: 42~510 | Increases damage from elemental skills and elemental explosions by 24 percent. A good option for Sidzhvin as a sub-DD, which will further strengthen her E-shka and ultimate. Elemental mastery will only be useful in teams for Catalysis, since, again, due to the weak application, it will rarely participate in closing reactions. |
Fading Twilight (4-star) | Energy recovery: 6.7%~30.6% Base attack: 44~565 | The bow has three states: Dusk, Fog and Dawn, which increase damage dealt by 6, 10 and 14 percent respectively. To change mode you need to hit enemies. The state changes no more than once every 7 seconds. Gives the required amount of energy to use the ult upon completion of the cooldown, has a good basic attack and increases damage from an elemental explosion. In general, a good option for a sub-DD. True, it could only be obtained during the event of patch 2.7. |
Best artifacts
As with bows, we recommend taking artifacts that can increase HP and outgoing healing, as well as give buffs to the team or create additional source of damage. The table below shows the best options.
< /table>
As for the choice of the main characteristics of artifacts, an hourglass should be taken for HP%, a cup (bowl) for HP% or a healing bonus (Hydro damage bonus for sub-DD), and a crown (hat) for HP% (critical damage/chance) critical hit at a ratio of 2 to 1 for sub-DD). Among the additional parameters, priority should be given to HP%, HP, energy recovery, crits (for sub-DD or when using the Favonius bow).
If we talk about the optimal indicators of the heroine’s attributes, they look like this:< /p>
- Health: from 50000 to 65000 (this indicator is important for both the healer and the secondary damage dealer).
- Energy recovery: 100% (healer) or 130-150% (sub -DD ​​for more frequent use of the ult).
- Critical hit chance: 50-60% (when using the Favonius bow or playing as a sub-DD).
The best teams for Sijwin
If you plan to use Sijwin only as a healer, then you can take her into absolutely any squad, regardless of Melusine’s elements and buffs. If you want to maximize the benefit of a nurse for your squad, we advise you to add her to packs that contain sub-damages capable of causing long-term damage with pocket skills. These, for example, include Albedo, Fischl, Yae Miko, Nahida and Tiori.
Note: Let's highlight Furina separately, since Sidzhvin is an ideal support for her, because she will not only heal the squad “affected” by the ult of the former Hydro Archon, but will also be able to strengthen the actress's already powerful E-class.
A weak Hydro application does not allow her to be used effectively in teams playing through such a reaction as Steam. In this field, she loses dry to Kokomi. She will work more or less tolerably in squads on Catalysis. The table below shows all the optimal packs with a nurse.
| Artifacts | Bonuses | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
Sea Dye Clam | 2 parts: increases the healing bonus by 15 percent. 4 parts: when healing allies, the hero will begin to create bubbles of sea paints, which record the restored health points, and then explode, causing damage to opponents in the amount of 90 percent of the calculated amount of healing. The bubble can appear once every 3.5 seconds and record up to 40 thousand regenerated HP. Only one bubble can exist at a time. It occurs even when the character is not on the battlefield. | The optimal option for Sijwin, which not only enhances the heroine’s healing abilities, but also provides an additional source of damage to the team, which will work almost constantly. |
Song of Old Times | 2 items: 15% buff to healing. 4 items: When the equipped hero heals allied units, the “Aspiration” effect is activated for 6 seconds, remembering the entire amount of healing received (but not more than +15 thousand to HP). After the timing, the effect is transformed into “Waves of Old Times”: absolutely any attacks of the active hero receive a buff of 8% of the total amount of previously calculated healing. The enhancement lasts up to 5 times or disappears after ten seconds of use. The “Aspiration” state does not stack, but is able to remember the heal of several allies at once and does not require the hero equipped with the set to be on the battlefield. | It is a good alternative to the previous option, which, however, does not create an additional source of damage, but strengthens the active hero, so you should not take it into revolver packs. It is best suited for teams with a strong main DD. |
Beloved young maiden | 2 parts: increase the hero's healing by 15%. 4 pieces: increases the healing received by all team members by 20% for 10 seconds after using an ult or an elemental skill. | This set will maximize Sijwin's healing abilities. When playing with Furina, it will give the most levels of Fanfare. Old-timers have probably accumulated a lot of these artifacts with good stats, so they can be used as a temporary option until the above sets are knocked out. |
Millelith's Fortitude | 2 parts: increases health by 20%. 4 parts: increases the attack of all heroes on the team by 20 percent, and their shield strength by 30 percent. The effect lasts for 3 seconds (it occurs every 0.5 seconds). Artifacts work even if the character equipped with them is not on the battlefield. | It will enhance Sijvin’s healing and attacking capabilities, and will also give a good buff to the team if the damage of the damage dealers depends on the strength of the attack. It will perform best if there is a shieldman in the squad or C2 in the nurse. |
< /p> Millelite's Fortitude/Vurukasha's Radiance | 2 parts: increase health by 20%. | If you are not yet able to collect complete sets with good stats, then you can combine the specified sets with each other. The healing bonus will increase healing, and the increase in HP will increase the buff from the first passive – choose for yourself what is more important to you now. |
Clam of Sea Colors/Song of Old Times/Beloved Young Maiden | 2 parts: increases the hero's healing by 15%. |

Upgrading Sijwin
How to improve your skills
You have to look for and collect many different materials, namely:
- Teachings, instructions and philosophies about “Equanimity” – obtained on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays in the “Pale Forgotten Flower” dungeon.
- Outsea Pearl, Alien Fragment and Xenochrome Crystal – drop from Fontmer aliens, purchased for star shine or created using Alchemy.
- Dark Eye of the Vortex – drops from the weekly boss All-Devouring Narwhal.
- Crown of Epiphany – can be obtained during events, as well as by leveling up the Sacred Sakura, the Eternal Tree permafrost, the Tree of Dreams and the Lyusin Fountain.
As for the priority of leveling up abilities, first of all level up the E-shka, which is necessary for healing the squad. Then you can increase your ult if you plan to use it. Normal attacks don't need to be upgraded.
How to elevate your character
Get ready to search and collect a large number of different materials. Their list and methods of extraction are indicated below.
You can get Varunad lapis lazuli from Oceanid, Dvalin, Ancient Geovishap, Hydro Hypostasis and Azhdhi. They are also sold in the souvenir shop. Water that does not reach the transition falls out of the Hydrotulpa. Romary is a local specialty of Fontaine. We indicated its location in a separate guide.
