COMPLETE INEFFA GUIDE! Best Ineffa Build - Artifacts, Weapons & Teams | Genshin Impact 5.8

Ineffa is a 5-star Electro Polearm character set to debut in Genshin Impact Version 5.8, bringing a revolutionary approach to Electro-Charged reactions with her unique Lunar-Charged mechanic. As the first character from Nod-Krai, Ineffa combines futuristic design with powerful off-field support capabilities, making her a valuable addition to electro-reaction-based teams. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about building and utilizing Ineffa effectively.

Ineffa features a mechanical and futuristic design with blue hair, a bodysuit with metal parts, and a distinctive aesthetic that blends elegance with advanced technology. Her kit revolves around her Multipurpose Smart Assistance Unit, Birgitta, which provides consistent off-field Electro damage and enables her to excel as a sub-D.P.S. or support character.

Ineffa’s Normal Attack, Cyclonic Duster: Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes. Ineffa’s Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to perform a spinning attack. Ineffa’s Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing A.O.E. damage upon impact.

Ineffa’s Elemental Skill, Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency: Ineffa initiates her Enhanced Cleaning module, dealing A.O.E. Electro damage to surrounding enemies while deploying an Optical Flow Shield Barrier and summoning Birgitta. The shield's damage absorption scales based on Ineffa's attack and has 250% absorption against Electro damage. Birgitta moves to nearby enemies every two seconds, performing discharge attacks that deal A.O.E. Electro damage.

Ineffa’s Elemental Burst, Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator: Ineffa launches Birgitta like a rocket punch, dealing A.O.E. Electro damage and leaving the summon on the field. If Birgitta is already present, it will be resummoned at the target location with its duration reset. This allows for consistent off-field Electro application and damage.

Ineffa’s Passive Abilities: Ineffa introduces a new reaction called Lunar-Charged. When Electro meets Hydro, instead of triggering standard Electro-Charged, it creates a thunderstorm effect that summons an Electrocloud above affected enemies. This deals continuous Electro damage that scales with Ineffa's Attack, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and the triggering character's Elemental Mastery. Additionally, Ineffa can convert a portion of her attack into Elemental Mastery for the active character. For Ineffa, the recommended talent leveling priority is one level ninety, two Elemental Skill, three Elemental Burst and four Normal Attack.

This priority focuses on maximizing her off-field damage potential through Birgitta and her shield strength, which are her primary contributions to the team.

Ineffa’s Best Polearm 5-Star Options: Ineffa’s signature polearm is Fractured Halo. This 5-star polearm is Ineffa's best-in-slot weapon, with 608 base attack and 66.2% critical damage as its secondary stat. Its passive increases attack by 24% for 20 seconds when using an Elemental Skill or Burst, and if the character creates a shield while this effect is active, nearby party members deal 40% more Lunar-Charged damage for 20 seconds.

A second five-star polearm that Ineffa can use is Vortex Vanquisher, which increases shield strength by twenty percent, and hitting opponents increases attack by 4% for 8 seconds. Vortex Vanquisher may not actually be good for Ineffa, so be wary.

A third five-star polearm that Ineffa can use is the Staff of Homa, which provides critical damage and attack bonuses that benefit Ineffa's damage scaling.

Ineffa’s Best Polearm 4-Star Options: The best four-star polearm for Ineffa is Favonius Lance because critical hits have a sixty percent chance to generate a small amount of elemental particles, which regenerates 6 energy for her.

A second four-star polearm that Ineffa can use is The Catch. It is an excellent free-to-play option that provides Energy Recharge and increases Elemental Burst Damage and Critical Rate.

A third four-star polearm that Ineffa can use is the Prototype Starglitter. It offers Energy Recharge and increases Normal and Charged Attack Damage after using Elemental Skill, which complements Ineffa's kit.

Ineffa’s Best Artifacts 4-Piece Sets: The Emblem of Severed Fate is the best overall. The 2-piece provides 20% Energy Recharge, while the 4-piece increases Elemental Burst Damage by 25% of Energy Recharge, with a maximum 75% bonus. This set is ideal for Ineffa, as it helps with her energy needs and boosts her burst damage.

An alternative artifact set that Ineffa can use is 4-piece Noblesse Oblige.

Another alternative artifact set that Ineffa can use is 4-piece Thundersoother, which can be effective in Electro-focused teams where enemies are consistently affected by Electro.

Ineffa’s Best Artifacts 2-Piece Set Combinations: 2-piece Emblem of Severed Fate and 2-piece Thundering Fury combine Energy Recharge with Electro Damage Bonus for a balanced approach.

Ineffa’s Artifact Main Stats: For Ineffa’s Sands, use either Attack Percent or Energy Recharge Percent. Attack percent is generally preferred for maximizing her damage output since her abilities scale with attack. Energy Recharge percent is a viable alternative if you need help with Burst uptime or are using Emblem of Severed Fate for the additional Burst damage.

For Ineffa’s Goblet, use either Electro Damage Bonus or attack percent. Electro Damage Bonus is the optimal choice to maximize her Electro damage output. Attack percent can be a temporary substitute if you have excellent substats.

For Ineffa’s Circlet, use either Critical Rate percent or Critical Damage percent. Choose based on your overall critical ratio, aiming for a one-to-two ratio of critical rate to critical damage. If using Fractured Halo, which provides critical damage, prioritize critical rate percent.

Ineffa’s Artifact Substats Priority: First prioritize Energy Recharge percent until requirements are met. Second, prioritize both critical rate percent and critical damage, maintaining a one-to-two ratio. Third, prioritize attack percent. Fourth, prioritize Elemental Mastery, which benefits her Lunar-Charged reaction. Lastly, prioritize Flat Attack.

Ineffa’s Best Team Compositions: Ineffa excels in Electro-Charged teams and can function as either a sub-D.P.S. or support character. Here are some recommended team compositions: Electro-Charged Team 1: Ineffa, Yelan or Xingqiu, Fischl or Ororon, and Flex. Yelan and Xingqiu provide consistent Hydro application for Lunar-Charged reactions. Fischl and Ororon offer additional off-field Electro damage and energy generation. The flex slot can be a healer, shielder, or another sub-D.P.S. based on needs. I would recommend Lan Yan.

Electro-Charged Team 2: Ineffa, Neuvillette, Furina, and Kazuha.

Electro-Charged Team 3: Ineffa, Kokomi, Beidou, and Venti.

Electro-Charged Team 4: Ineffa, Furina, Clorinde, and Lynette.

Cope Hyperbloom Teams: Ineffa, Nahida or Dendro Traveler; Xingqiu or Yelan; and Flex. Dendro character enables Hyperbloom reactions when combined with Hydro and Electro. Hydro character provides the necessary application for both Hyperbloom and Lunar-Charged. The flex slot can be a main D.P.S., a healer or another support character. I would recommend Varesa, Clorinde, or Alhaitham.

Ineffa’s Constellations: While Ineffa is effective at Constellation Zero, her constellations provide significant improvements to her kit. Notable constellations include increased shield strength, enhanced Birgitta damage, and improved Lunar-Charged reaction bonuses.

Ineffa brings a fresh approach to Electro-Charged teams with her unique Lunar-Charged reaction and consistent off-field damage through Birgitta. By focusing on Attack, Critical stats, and Energy Recharge, you can maximize her potential as a powerful sub-D.P.S. or support character. Her shield scaling with Attack and her ability to enhance elemental reactions make her a versatile addition to many team compositions. With the right build and team synergy, Ineffa can significantly enhance your team's damage output while providing valuable utility through her shield and reaction enhancements.
