Ineffa brings a fresh spin to Electro reactions with her Lunar‑Charged mechanic and consistent off‑field contribution. Between her shield, EM buff, and summonable robot Birgitta, she combines flexibility, safety, and high damage potential, making her a great pick whether you’re crafting future‑proof comps or just having fun running new Nod‑Krai content.

What Makes Ineffa Special

Ineffa’s kit lets her convert Electro‑Charged into Lunar‑Charged, a reaction that can crit and scales with the stats of everyone involved. Her Elemental Skill shields and summons Birgitta, dealing passive Electro damage every two seconds. Her Elemental Burst re‑summons Birgitta and boosts Elemental Mastery for all party members based on her Attack. Thanks to her A1 passive, she also gets extra AoE Electro damage if thunderclouds (Lunar‑Charged) are active nearby, making her both a support powerhouse and a reliable damage source.

Talent Upgrade Priority

1. Elemental Skill (Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency) – strongest scaling and shield uptime.
2. Elemental Burst (Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator) – EM buff and burst-based shield reset.
3. Normal Attack (Cyclonic Duster) – lowest priority since the kit uses Botanical tools off-field most of the time.

Artifact Recommendations

• BiS Set: 4‑Piece Gilded Dreams
  Great synergy with her ATK + EM scaling and Lunar reaction buildup
• Alternative: 4‑Piece Thundering Fury
  Provides Lunar‑Charged DMG bonus if you trigger reactions often

Main Stats:

• Sands – ATK% or Energy Recharge until you meet burst needs
• Goblet – ATK% or EM
• Circlet – CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG

Substats in order: Energy Recharge (to burst every cycle) → CRIT Rate/DMG → ATK% → Elemental Mastery

Ideal builds target 130‑160% ER, around 75‑85% CRIT Rate, 150‑180% CRIT DMG, and ATK 1900‑2300 with EM ~100‑200.

Best Weapons for Ineffa

• Fractured Halo (Signature BiS)
  At R1 it gives +24% ATK and a 40% Lunar‑Charged damage buff for teammates when you shield.
• Staff of the Scarlet Sands
  Excellent for EM/ATK hybrid builds where you’re on-field longer. Its EM‑to‑ATK conversion pairs well with her passive buffs.
• Missive Windspear / Deathmatch / Ballad of the Fjords (4★ options)
  Don’t underestimate these—they give solid EM and ATK in rotations where she’s mainly off-field.
• Other 5★ standards like Calamity Queller, Kitain Cross Spear, and Deathmatch also work if you lack options.

Lunar‑Charged Core Teams

• Furina + Ineffa + Electro/Sub‑DPS + Anemo (e.g. Sucrose/Xingqiu + Raiden/Neuvillette)
  Furina or Yelan as Hydro drivers ensures Electro+Hydro auras and allows Ineffa’s Lunar‑Charged reaction to trigger every two seconds. Anemo units can swirl for extra EM or reaction uptime.

Hyperbloom / Quickbloom Alternatives

• Comps like Ineffa + Ifa + Dendro carries or Pyro DPS plus Hydro support work well, especially if you’re building Dendro or Electro infusion teams. Ineffa adds EM and shielding in these quieter setups.

Complementary Electro Supports

• Fischl, Raiden, Cyno, or Clorinde are valuable if you need an extra off-field Electro unit, especially if longevity or particle generation is important. These combos still let Ineffa shine.

Example Rotation

1. Cast Elemental Skill to generate shield and summon Birgitta
2. Switch to Hydro driver or Anemo to trigger Lunar‑Charged reaction
3. Swap back to Ineffa for Elemental Burst if needed for refresh or buff
4. Let Birgitta tick every two seconds and keep Electro‑Hydro double auras active
5. Repeat the cycle aligned with rotation cooldowns

Final Thoughts

Ineffa is a standout Electro Sub‑DPS ideal for Lunar‑Charged strategies. With the right weapon, artifacts, and rotation discipline, she offers shield safety, team-wide EM buffs, and solid reaction-based damage. She’s easy to play but rewards thoughtful builds and synergy.
