5th	Ballad Of The Fjords	Get from Battle Pass - CRIT Rate and Elemental Mastery stat stick. - Needs at least 3 Elements in the team to activate the Elemental Mastery buff for her so you'll need an Anemo character along with the Hydro and Electro required for Electro-Charged/Lunar-Charged.

Any EM set Any ATK% set	★★★ ・・ - Best 2-pc set effects for Ineffa if you are still farming for her set.

For Sub-Stats, Focus on ATK and CRIT stats then EM

Ineffa is built like a standard Sub-DPS but she needs to have enough ATK before aiming to build her Elemental Mastery. This is to ensure she is able to deal damage while increasing the damage of Lunar-Charged.

Best Team Comp Ineffa

Taser Team Comp for Ineffa

Sub-DPS	Driver	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Ineffa	Ifa	Xingqiu	Ororon
Details
- Ifa and Ororon duo for Electro-Charged works the best with Ineffa since Ifa can increase the damage dealt by the reaction while Ororon can proc his Hypersense Off-Field attack often with Ifa as the On-Field Driver. - Xingqiu works best with Ifa as Off-Field Hydro compared to Furina and Yelan since Furina's HP drain can't be offset by Ifa's healing and Yelan's damage buff doesn't have much of an effect in Taser. - Ineffa's shield and Xingqiu's interruption resistance can provide sufficient protection in case of ranged enemies being able to hit Ifa.

The best Electro-Charged duo is best as Ineffa's teammates since Electro can be easily applied and Lunar-Charged also receives the buff from Ifa's Passive. Xingqiu can be switched for Yelan and as solo Hydro, a Favonius weapon is preferred over support weapon.

Other Team Comps For Ineffa

Hyperbloom Team Comp

Team		Detail
Ineffa	Alhaitham	- Ineffa can be built with more EM for Hyperbloom damage. But building both EM and ATK is ideal for Lunar-Charged. - Dendro Resonance can help in achieving the EM needed for Lunar-Charged's increased damage. - Ineffa might struggle to use her Elemental Burst each rotation but it's not too important since it refreshes Birgitta's duration which is already lengthy.
Baizhu	Yelan

Free To Play Team Composition For Ineffa

Team		Detail
Ineffa	Lan Yan	- F2P Taser team comp for Ineffa. - While Ineffa's best Taser team using Ifa, Xingqiu and Ororon only has 4-stars aside from Ineffa herself, only Ororon and Xingqiu can be considered F2P. - Ororon is the best Electro Sub-DPS for Lunar-Charged and was free during the Tournament Of Glory In Bloom event. Barbara is given for free after completing the Mondstadt Archon quest. - Among the Liyue 4-stars that can be obtained during Lantern Rite events, Lan Yan and Xingqiu are compatible for Lunar-Charged. Beidou could also be used but her role would overlap with Ororon's.

Best Teams For Ineffa

Team Rotation of Ineffa and Combos

Team Rotation of Support Ineffa

Basic Rotation Of Ineffa
1. Use Elemental Skill then Elemental Burst to summon Birgitta and buff her teammates' EM 2. Switch to other characters. 3. Switch back to Ineffa to refresh her buffs using any of her active Skills.

As an Off-Field character, Ineffa's field time is only used for summoning Birgitta and buffing her teammates. If you are unable to use Ineffa's Elemental Burst when she's switched in, having Birgitta's duration refreshed is sufficient.

Basics of Using Ineffa (Beginner Guide)

Enabler for Lunar-Charged, the upgraded Electro-Charged

Ineffa's Passive converts Electro-Charged triggers into Lunar-Charged by just being in the team. This allows Electro-Charged reaction to deal CRIT Damage and has increased damage based on all characters contributing to the reaction. This reaction gains increased damage based on Ineffa's ATK.

Use Elemental Burst to buff Elemental Mastery

Lunar-Charged inherits Electro-Charged's feature of Elemental Mastery being used for increasing its damage. Ineffa's Elemental Burst can buff Elemental Mastery of the party based on her ATK.

Elemental Skill and Burst can summon Birgitta for Off-Field Electro Application

In addition to being the enabler of Lunar-Charged, Ineffa is able to apply Electro Off-Field. Even though this makes triple Hydro teams with Ineffa a possibility, using a 2nd Electro can still help out in Energy requirements and Lunar-Charged procs.

Elemental Skill can Create a Shield

Aside from summoning Birgitta, Ineffa's Elemental Skill creates a shield based on her ATK. Similar to Electro-Charged, Lunar-Charged is likely to be able to damage controlled characters. Ineffa's shield can help out a lot in preventing Lunar-Charged from damaging allies and shielding from enemy hits.

How To Use Ineffa?

How To Use?

▼ An Electro Support & Sub-DPS for Lunar-Charged
▼ Use Elemental Skill or Burst for Off-Field Electro Damage
▼ Biggest Source of Damage is from Passive
▼ Amazing Sustain & Buffing Capabilities
▼ Reach 2000 ATK for her Passive to Increase Lunar-Charged Damage

An Electro Support & Sub-DPS For Lunar-Charged

Ineffa is an Electro Support and Sub-DPS that enables Lunar-Charged. With her in the team, all Electro-Charged reactions turns into Lunar-Charged which deals more damage based on the team's Elemental Mastery and can CRIT.

The damage of Lunar-Charged has a special calculation that considers the stat of all characters involve in the reaction and not just the one triggering the reaction.

Calculation for Lunar-Charged of Ineffa

Damage Per Character
Base Damage of Lunar Charge × Passive (14%) × Elemental Mastery Percentage × CRIT × Resistance of Enemies
Damage If Done by 2 Characters
High Lunar-Charged Damage + (Low Lunar Charge Damage ÷ 2)

Use Elemental Skill Or Burst For Off-Field Electro Infliction

Birgitta Quick Guide
How To Summon	- Use Elemental Skill - Use Elemental Burst.
Effect	- Deals AoE Electro DMG every 2 seconds. - Duration 20 sec. & Cooldown 16 sec.

Both of Ineffa's Active Skills can summon Birgitta who deals Electro Damage and can exist Off-Field. This allows Ineffa to continuously trigger Lunar-Charge with no downtime.

Biggest Source of Damage is From Passive That Serves As Lunar-Charge

When the cloud from Lunar-Charge reaction exist when the attack from Birgitta attack, Overclocking Circuit activates dealing an additional attack that is considered Lunar-Charged Damage. This attack is the biggest source of damage fro Ineffa.

Passive: Overclocking Circuit
- When the thundercloud from Lunar-Charge exist, Birgitta will deal additional attack. - Additional attack deal Electro damage equal to 65% of Ineffa's ATK. - Is considered as Lunar-Charged Damage.
[Calculation for Additional Damage] Ineffa's ATK × 0.65 × Lunar Charge Damage Calc.

Amazing Buff & Sustain Capabilities As Well

Buffs	- Elemental Mastery Buff based on ATK (6%) 　└ Affects Ineffa and on-field Character. - Buff for Lunar-Charge (Max +14%)
Sustains	- Shield durability scales from ATK

Ineffa does not only provide damage but she can also have decent support capabilities from her Elemental Skill and Burst. She provides shield with Elemental Skill that scales from ATK and Elemental Mastery from Elemental Burst. This allows Ineffa to be a top-class support and sustain while being a top-tier off-field DPS.

Important to Get At Least 2000 ATK

Ineffa's 3rd Passive can increase the Lunar-Charged Damage dealt by 0.7% based on every 100 ATK Ineffa has and caps at 14%. To reach the max value, you will need 2000 ATK on Ineffa. Since the sturdiness of shields and damage of Ineffa scales from ATK and she does not use DMG Buff from Goblet, it is okay to invest greatly on ATK even when exceeding 2000.

Should You Pull for Ineffa's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Prioritize Fractured Halo

Signature VS Constellation
Fractured Halo > C1

Fractured Halo is Better than C1 for Lunar-Charged Damage

While Ineffa's C1 increases Lunar-Charged Damage as well, her Signature Weapon can increase her CRIT DMG, ATK and Lunar-Charged Damage. It lowers the ATK needed from her Artifacts, allowing for more Elemental Mastery built to reach the needed amount for Lunar-Charged's Reaction damage increase.

C1 is a Good Stopping Point

If you want to improve the Lunar-Charged damage dealt, Ineffa's C1 is enough for it. Her other Constellations only give a Shield to Co-Op teammates and additional attacks that deal Lunar-Charged Damage.

Ineffa's Constellations & Effects
