Genshin Impact Ineffa Guide: Kit Explained

Ineffa is a powerful 5-star off-field Electro sub-DPS and shielder who brings consistent damage, energy generation, and support to teams that include Hydro characters. Her Elemental Skill summons a robot named Brigitta, who deals AoE Electro damage every two seconds and automatically targets enemies.

Brigitta stays on the field even when Ineffa is swapped out and has a very strong uptime. The skill also generates a shield that scales with Ineffa’s ATK, offering decent protection, stronger than many weaker shielders but not quite on the level of top-tier ones.

Ineffa’s Burst deals AoE Electro damage and resets Brigitta’s duration. Importantly, it also provides an Elemental Mastery (EM) buff to both Ineffa and the current active character. The amount of EM given scales with her ATK (6% of her ATK), so with 2000 ATK, it gives a 120 EM buff. This boosts both Lunar Charge and other elemental reactions your team may be triggering.

Much of Ineffa’s damage comes passively through a special mechanic where Brigitta releases Thunderclouds that trigger Lunar Charge damage. These thundercloud discharges scale with her ATK and are considered Lunar Charge reactions, making them capable of critting and ignoring enemy DEF. The actual damage numbers are surprisingly high due to a hidden multiplier, making this the core of Ineffa’s personal damage output.

New Elemental Reaction: Lunar Charge

Lunar Charge is a new elemental reaction introduced by Ineffa. It transforms the traditional Electro-Charged (Electro + Hydro) reaction through one of Ineffa’s passive talents. Unlike Electro-Charged, which scales fully with Elemental Mastery and triggers every 0.5 seconds, Lunar Charge has a longer internal cooldown of 2 seconds but can crit and has a special damage formula.

Instead of only the last element applier determining the damage (like in Electro-Charged), Lunar Charge calculates contributions from all characters involved in the reaction. The one doing the most damage contributes fully, the second character adds half of their damage, and if there’s a third, their portion is divided by 12.

This makes the reaction more stable and reliable in terms of damage output. Plus, through one of Ineffa’s passives, she can increase the base damage of Lunar Charge by up to 14% based on her ATK, further enhancing its effectiveness.

In short, Lunar Charge is slower but stronger and more consistent than Electro-Charged, especially when your team isn’t built around stacking Elemental Mastery. It’s a great fit for crit-focused teams and off-field damage dealers like Ineffa.

Genshin Impact Ineffa Build Guide: Constellations

C1	Her C1 is one of the best, giving your entire team a significant Lunar Charge damage boost. It increases Lunar Charge damage by 2.5% per 100 ATK after she activates her shield, capping at 50% if she has 2000 ATK, which she usually will by default. This is a big and consistent boost that scales with future Lunar Charge-focused team comps, making it a strong long-term investment.
C2	Her C2 adds a burst-follow-up attack that deals 300% ATK as AoE Electro damage, which also counts as Lunar Charge damage. It even gives you a shield when using her Burst, not just from her Skill, which improves comfort and survivability. This constellation is another solid bump in personal damage, roughly matching C1 in impact.
C3	C3 boosts her Burst talent level
C4	C4 is a quality-of-life constellation that helps her regenerate 5 energy every 4 seconds when triggering Lunar Charge. This drastically reduces her Energy Recharge needs, helping you build more damage stats instead of focusing on ER.
C5	C5 is a skill talent level boost.
C6	Finally, C6 adds yet another Lunar Charge-triggered AoE attack (135% of her ATK) that can happen once every 3.5 seconds as long as C1’s effect is active, which, again, it usually will be. This adds even more consistency to her off-field damage output.

Overall, Ineffa has strong and practical constellations, especially C1 and C2, which significantly improve her output. C4 is great for comfort and team building, and C6 adds more firepower if you’re going all-in. That said, she’s already very good at C0, and none of her constellations are mandatory for her to perform her role well.

Genshin Impact Ineffa Guide: Best in-slot weapon

Fractured Halo (5*)	Her best-in-slot is her signature weapon, Fractured Halo, which provides 66% Crit DMG and buffs Lunar Charge damage by 40% for the entire team when she generates a shield. This buff applies to all Lunar Charge sources, not just Ineffa’s, making it valuable now and potentially even more so if future characters also scale with Lunar Charge. Even at present, this weapon performs about 30% better than most four-star options and is the top pick for maximizing her output.
Staff of the Scarlet Sands (5*) Calamity Queller (5*) Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (5*) Staff of Homa (5*) Vortex Vanquisher (5*)	Staff of the Scarlet Sands, Calamity Queller, Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, Homa, or Vortex Vanquisher. Scarlet Sands is especially useful if you’re building EM, as it converts EM into ATK.
Ballad of the Fjords (4*) Deathmatch (4*)	Battle Pass polearms like Ballad of the Fjords and Deathmatch are top-tier picks. Ballad tends to edge out slightly, especially at higher refinements. Both give Crit stats and solid passive effects that support Ineffa’s off-field role.
Kitain Cross Spear (4*) Missive Windspear (4*) Tamayuratei no Ohanashi (4*)	Kitain Cross Spear stands out as an excellent stat stick, offering high base ATK, some EM, and bonus Elemental Skill damage plus energy generation. Missive Windspear and Tamayuratei no Ohanashi are also viable, though slightly weaker.
Favonius Lance (4*)	If you prefer a more supportive build, Favonius Lance is a great utility option. While it sacrifices some personal damage, it helps generate energy for the entire team, making rotations smoother and allowing other units to focus more on offensive stats.

Genshin Impact Ineffa Build Guide: Artifacts to use

Tenacity of the Millelith	You’ll want to go with Tenacity of the Millelith if you’re using her more as a support, since it boosts her shield and gives your whole team a 20% ATK buff.
Gilded Dreams	If you want to focus more on her damage, Gilded Dreams is your best bet because it gives her Elemental Mastery and ATK, both of which boost her unique Lunar Charge reaction. In Hyperbloom teams, Gilded becomes even more valuable.

As for her Main Stats and Sub-Stats:

• Timepiece: ATK%
• Goblet: ATK%
• Circlet: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG (depending on weapon & substats)
• Sub-stat: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, ATK%, Elemental Mastery, and Energy Recharge.

Best Team Comps for Ineffa in Genshin Impact

Ineffa’s best team comps revolve around at least one Hydro character to consistently trigger Lunar Charge, but her flexibility means you’re not locked into building fully around that mechanic. 

She fits especially well in Taser-style teams where she pairs with a Hydro unit like Kokomi, Ayato, or Neuvillette and an Anemo driver such as Sucrose, Wanderer, or Faruzan to swirl and amplify Electro-Charged (now Lunar Charged) reactions. These teams benefit greatly from her off-field damage and built-in shielding, offering both comfort and high DPS. 

Teams	Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4
Lunar Charge	Ineffa	Hydro Unit	Anemo Unit	Healer
Hyperbloom	Ineffa	Dendro Unit	Xingqiu	Raiden Shogun

She also shines in Neuvillette teams, either enabling strong team-wide damage or even becoming a part of some of Neuvillette’s highest-performing comps by boosting his survivability and contributing her consistent reaction-based damage. 

Additionally, Electro carry teams, such as ones led by Raiden Shogun, Cyno, Clorinde, or Yae Miko, can slot Ineffa in as a strong sub-DPS that enhances their Electro-Charged output, giving them a new playstyle variation. 

Outside of that, Ineffa can function well in Hyperbloom and Quickbloom hybrids, often alongside Dendro units like Nahida or Alhaitham and flexible Hydro/Electro picks to manage both reaction uptime and survivability. 

She also performs solidly in Overvape teams (mixing Vaporize, Overload, and Lunar Charge), especially with Pyro units like Hu Tao or Arlecchino and a fast Hydro applier. Finally, Ineffa’s synergy with characters like Sucrose, who offers teamwide elemental mastery, makes her a great fit in many reaction-centric flex teams, and while not always optimal, she can even work in offbeat comps like Navia or Chevreuse overload teams where her shield and EM scaling still bring value.

Is Ineffa worth pulling in Genshin Impact

If you’re looking for a versatile off-field sub-DPS who brings both strong damage and consistent shielding, Ineffa is worth considering. Her Lunar Charge mechanic enables unique team flexibility, and she fits smoothly into taser, hyperbloom, vape, and even more experimental team comps with just a reliable Hydro trigger.

While we’ll need to see how she performs in the upcoming NDC Cryo meta, Ineffa already holds her own as a powerful unit across many existing teams. Whether you’re building around a Hydro or Electro core or just want a dependable unit that scales well with future characters, Ineffa offers value that’s hard to ignore.
