Genshin Impact Ineffa build and teams

A good Genshin Impact Ineffa build might seem intimidating thanks to the Nod-Krai character's demanding stat requirements. Careful team planning and a bit of Artifact luck mean you can focus just on one or two stats with Ineffa's weapon, though, and the returns are solid even if you don't have the perfect number for every necessary stat.

Our Genshin Impact Ineffa build breaks down Ineffa's best weapons, Artifacts, and teams, with an extended explanation of how Lunar-Charged works.

Genshin Impact Ineffa weapons

Ineffa's signature, Fractured Halo, isn't essential, but it does help give her the stats she needs when she needs them and takes the pressure off your Artifact stat rolls. Fractured Halo has crit damage as its secondary stat, and it gives the equipping character an attack buf of 24 percent for 20 seconds when they use their skill or burst. The second part of the passive effect has party members deal 20 percent more Lunar-Charged damage if the equipping character has a shield, which Ineffa frequently will.

Ineffa can use several other 5-star polearms, if you have them. Staff of Scarlet Sands is helpful, since it increases the user's crit rate and buffs their attack based on elemental mastery, which leaves you free to focus on mastery and crit damage as your main stats. Shenhe's Calamity Queller makes hitting Ineffa's ideal attack stat much easier and provides a decent all-element damage bonus. We're not sure how that fits into Lunar-Charged damage at this point, since it seems like an extra-elemental reaction, but having Ineffa dish out more Electro damage is never a bad thing.

Ballad of the Fjords is Ineffa's best 4-star option, though you can only get it from reaching tier 30 on Genshin's battle pass. It increases the user's crit rate, and, when the party has three or more elemental types in it, everyone's elemental mastery goes up by 120. Ineffa's best parties always have three elemental types, so that's a free and easy 120 mastery buff just because.

If you have Missive Windspear from a previous event, it also works well for Ineffa, even if the timing is a little wonky. Its secondary stat raises attack, and after the user causes an elemental reaction, their attack increases by 12 percent and elemental mastery by 48. Ideally, you want those buffs before Ineffa triggers Lunar-Charged, but it still works if you trigger again after activating the buff.

Genshin Impact Ineffa Artifacts

Since Ineffa should be well set in the attack department with whatever weapon you give her, Artifacts are the best and easiest way to bump up her elemental mastery if you're concerned about increasing that stat. The best set for the job is Gilded Dreams.

• Two-piece effect: Increases elemental mastery by 80
• Four-piece effect: When an elemental reaction occurs, the party receives an attack buff of 14 percent for each member whose elemental type matches the wearer's and an elemental mastery buff of 50 for each member whose type is different.

If mastery isn't a concern, Thundering Fury might be a better choice.

• Two-piece effect: Increases Electro damage by 15 percent
• Four-piece effect: Increases Electro-Charged, Overloaded, Superconduct, and Hyperbloom damage by 40 percent and increases aggravate's damage bonus by 20 percent

Neither of these is Lunar-Charged-specific, of course, though it's possible HoYoverse will introduce a new set in a future update that suits Ineffa's abilities more closely.

Genshin Impact Ineffa stats and Lunar-Charged damage

Ineffa is a bit of an unusual case as far as stats go. Being an elemental reaction-focused character, you'd think she needs elemental mastery – and she does. Just not that much. The most important thing to do for Ineffa is to get her attack up to 2,000, so you get the full 14 percent damage buff for Lunar-Charged reactions from her first passive talent. (It increases Lunar-Charged damage by 0.7 percent for every 100 attack Ineffa has, to a maximum of 14 percent.)

Based on what dataminersLunar-Charged as a reaction, it works rather differently from your usual reactions. Rather than having its damage based solely on elemental mastery, Lunar-Charged combines several stats, including the character's level and their crit damage potential. The highest stat has the biggest influence on the final damage, so focusing primarily on Ineffa's attack won't put you in a disadvantageous position.

This method is, reportedly, how Genshin determines whether Lunar-Charged will result in a critical hit. If the highest damage dealt when the reaction occurs is crit damage, that's when Lunar-Charged deals crit damage of its own. That's also why it's a good idea to ignore elemental mastery in favor of treating Ineffa like a standard DPS, with crit rate of 75 percent or higher and a crit damage number that's double that or higher, so at least 150 percent.

The short version of all that is:

• Attack: 2,000
• Crit rate: 75 percent or higher
• Crit damage: 150 percent or higher
• Elemental mastery: 150-ish before Ineffa's second talent buff

For your Artifact stats, that translates to:

• Sands: Attack
• Goblet: Attack or elemental mastery
• Circlet: Crit damage or crit rate

Elemental mastery, crit rate, and crit damage are your ideal substats, too.

Genshin Impact Ineffa teams

Ineffa exists to create Lunar-Charged reactions. She doesn't have to be the one who triggers it, and Lunar-Charged calculates all party members' stats when dealing damage. However, if you're building her with the idea of maximizing her talents' benefits and using her stats to bump up Lunar-Charged damage, you'll want to make sure she causes the reaction that activates it.

That means Ineffa will be on-field most of the time and benefits from off-field Hydro applicators. These include:

• Furina
• Kokomi
• Yelan
• Xingqiu
• Barbara
• Mona

Neuvillette, built as he is for dealing high damage, is a good substitute for this arrangement who can take advantage of Ineffa's Electro to cause the reaction that turns into Electro-Charged.

If you want another Electro character to make up for when Ineffa's abilities are on cooldown, you could use:

• Fischl
• Ororon (bonus points for him, since he buffs Electro-Charged damage)
• Raiden Shogun
• Yae Miko
• Kuki Shinobu

Finally, it's a good idea to have an Anemo character on hand to cause Swirl and reduce enemy resistance to Electro or Hydro, just to help bump your damage numbers up even higher. One who also provides elemental mastery buffs is ideal, if possible.

• Kazuha
• Sucrose
• Chasca
• Ifa

What tier is Ineffa in Genshin Impact?

Ineffa launches in a funny state in Genshin 5.8, one that'll likely change after Nod-Krai characters start showing up. As it stands, she has no perfect Artifacts or teammates, and Electro-Charged teams are few and far between. That said, you can easily put one together with free or common characters, which is a bonus in her favor. While Ineffa's stat requirements are demanding and unusual, you can augment what you're missing with her teammates and Artifacts and focus primarily on attack as her main stat.

So, with all that in mind, we're putting Ineffa at the top of our A-tier.
