Ifa is a 4-star Anemo character who wields a Catalyst in Genshin Impact. His gameplay focuses on flexible Anemo support and sustained healing. By using his Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks, he generates "Nightsoul" points that activate "Nightsoul's Blessing," a special state where he floats in midair, fires Anemo projectiles, heals allies on hit, and enhances reaction-based damage, especially Swirl and Electro-Charged, based on his Elemental Mastery. His Elemental Burst, "Compound Sedation Field," gathers enemies with a vortex, dealing continuous Anemo damage and creating more opportunities for elemental reactions. Lore-wise, Ifa hails from the Flower-Feather Clan in Natlan and is a compassionate saurian veterinarian. Often found alongside his friend Ororon, he dedicates his time to caring for injured creatures and helping others, even bearing scars from past struggles that speak to his devotion and bravery.

What Kind Of Character Is Ifa?
Ifa is a Swirl reaction driver that has good synergy with Electro-Charged. He can be used as Burst sub-DPS/support if wanting to make use of his Crowd Control in his Burst. He is best paired with one (1) other Natlan character if using him as on-fielder so he can increase the damage of his own Swirls.
Roles & Playstyle Of Ifa and Its Strengths and Weakness
On-Field Driver Ifa
Ifa is best used as an On-Field Driver that provides buffs to his teammates. While his own damage and healing may be lackluster, his ability to boost the damage dealt by Taser teams is great.
Pros and Cons of On-Field Driver Ifa
| Pros |
|---|
| - Greatly increases the damage dealt by Swirl and Electro-Charged reactions if the condition of his Passive is met. |
| - Compatible with Normal Attack-proc sub-DPS like Xingqiu, Furina, and Yelan since Ifa deals Normal Attack DMG during his Nightsoul state. |
| - Hovering in air allows him to prevent attacks from melee-only enemies as well as give him an easier time positioning. |
| Cons |
| - Has very weak healing that using Furina in his teams will require having a dedicated healer as well. |
| - Reliant on a 2nd Natlan character with at least 70 Nightsoul points to max out his Damage buff. |

For On-Field Reaction Driver Ifa, Build EM
As on-field driver, Ifa needs EM because it is the only stat that can boost his Swirl damage. Energy Recharge then Attack is the priority order after EM since his Burst can provide Crowd Control for him while attack can boost his own attack's damage.
For Burst Sub-DPS Ifa, Build Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge should be prioritized if using Ifa as a Crowd Control support. This is to allow him to use his Burst every rotation. Elemental Mastery or Attack can be prioritized next if wanting to increase his damage.
