Genshin Impact’s latest character is Ineffa, an android who is getting slightly ahead of the 6.0 versions and showing us a glimpse of what we can expect from Nod-Krai mechanically. The final patch of each version is always a big old beach episode, so filler filled with little lore nods here and there, but Ineffa is certainly bringing the hype by literally changing one of the core reactions. To get the most out of her though, you’ll need the best Ineffa build you can put together.
Genshin Impact Ineffa Best Build
Ineffa changes the electro-charged reaction into lunar-charged, which is unique (for now), in that it uses every character involved in the reaction to calculate damage, and it can also crit, which electro-charged couldn’t do. While this isn’t going to be especially well-utilised with just Ineffa, we have a feeling it’ll be more relevant when we get to Nod-Krai properly with the 6.0 patch.
Her elemental skill summons Birgittato to deal off-field electro damage, but also gives a skill based on Ineffa’s ATK. Her burst does a big old burst of damage, and also re-summons Birgitta. If you’ve been playing for any length of time, comparing Ineffa to Fischl is the simplest way to understand things. However, most of Ineffa’s power is in one of her passives, which allows Birgitta to do additional lunar-charged damage if the effect is already in play when Birgitta attacks. With all of this in mind, Ineffa is a sub-DPS with some shielding capabilities, and she could be a nice little boost to hydro and electro teams.
Genshin Impact Ineffa Best Weapon
Ineffa’s signature weapon is Fractured Halo, a polearm that boosts ATK after using the elemental skill or elemental burst, and boosts lunar-charged damage if the equipping character creates a shield during that effect. However, if you’re not using this, any of the five-star weapons can do an alright job of things, but you might be better off going with a four-star weapon if you’re not using her signature.
Kitain Cross Spear is an excellent option because it not only gives elemental mastery and boosts elemental skill damage, but it also gives Ineffa some more energy. Ineffa does need to be able to use her burst, so this weapon ticks all of the boxes you need it to, at least for a four-star option. You can also go for the Ballad of the Fjords, or the trusty Favonius Spear, because it’s good on everyone.
Genshin Impact Ineffa Best Artifacts
As of Ineffa’s release, there really isn’t a great artifact set for her. We’re expecting one to come along in the 6.0 patch, but for now, you’ve got a few options that’ll do the job. The frontrunner for us is to use a set that just fits well enough for now, which is going to often just be two two-piece sets of ATK boost, like Gladiator’s Finale.
You can also run her with Tenacity of the Millileth if you want more shield strength and more buffs, or with Gilded Dreams for boosting her damage. For stats, you basically want an ATK sands, an ATK goblet, and a Crit circlet, most likely Crit DMG as Ineffa ascends with Crit Rate. You can go for EM if you’re interested in messing around with a hyperbloom team too.
