Best Teams for Ineffa

Ineffa Works Best As a Lunar-Charged Sub-DPS

Ineffa is an Electro Sub-DPS who can enable Lunar-Charged reactions by converting Electro-Charged. With the addition of new Moonsign characters and artifact sets from Nod-Krai, Ineffa can be built as a Sub-DPS in Moonsign teams. Outside of Moonsign teams, she's still decent shield support whose Off-Field Electro application helps maintain specific reactions.

Activate Ascendant Gleam for More Team Buffs

Unlike other Nod-Krai characters, Ineffa does not have an ability that is dependent on the Moonsign Level of the party. However, she still benefits from having Ascendant Gleam enabled, which requires two Moonsign characters, due to the Lunar Reaction DMG% buffs it grants. So while not strictly necessary, it's still recommended for Ineffa's personal damage to have another Moonsign character in the party.

Note!	The Element-dependent buffs only adhere to one non-Moonsign character, so having more than one non-Moonsign teammate does not provide a second buff.

Pair Ineffa with Columbina for Best Damage

Ineffa's strong synergy and pull value when paired with Columbina is a combination of her being the overall best Hydro Support and Sub-DPS for all Lunar Reaction teams thanks to her multitude of buffs, as well as the fact that Lunar-Charged is generally the more flexible Lunar reaction out of the three available.

While other Lunar supports like Lauma and Linnea have better utility, Ineffa's damage potential is notably higher to compensate for her weaker buffs. So having Columbina, whose Lunar Reaction buffs are teamwide, allows Ineffa to perform even better in her intended niche.

Lunar-Charged Team Rotation

Flins wants to use his Normal Attacks in between his Special Burst usages to gain Energy to use at least 2 Special Bursts each rotation (at C0), but his combo has some room for you to dodge in between Special Bursts (instead of using Normal Attacks) if you need to, making his combo pretty flexible overall.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Flins	Neuvillette Cyno Clorinde Ifa Navia Ayaka Alhaitham	- Reserve this spot for the On-Field DPS. The most obvious choices are Electro and Hydro DPSes that can help apply the necessary elements to sustain the reaction, but you can actually pair the Ineffa-Columbina core with most On-Field DPSes that don't have strict teammate requirements (regardless of element) and find that you'll still get serviceable results.
Columbina	Aino Yelan Xingqiu	- Aino is the best Moonsign alternative to Columbina since she can activate the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign level to gain an additional Lunar reaction DMG buff. - If the On-Field character isn't Hydro, other Hydro characters that deal off-field damage are required to proc Lunar-Charge.
Sucrose	Jahoda Kazuha Xilonen Linnea Bennett	- The fourth slot is a flexible slot for almost any support that can provide buffs and debuffs. - Jahoda is able to use Viridescent Venerer, can activate the Ascendant Gleam effect, and provide healing as well. - Xilonen works great as an Elemental Shred support and healer. Her DEF scaling allows her to buff Lunar-Charged via the Ascendant Gleam effect. - Kazuha is also able to use Viridescent Venerer, and his EM scaling makes him great for buffing Lunar-Charged via Ascendant Gleam. However, his Elemental Damage buff doesn't affect Lunar-Charged DMG. - Linnea is another viable unit for her strong Off-field DPS, Moonsign benefits, and healing without interrupting Lunar-Charged from happening. - Bennett is a great ATK buffer and can buff Flins' damage while also providing healing without interrupting reactions.

The Ascendant Gleam effect works great for Lunar-Charged damage, so having at least one other Moonsign character works the best. When choosing for the sole non-Moonsign character, it's best to pick based on the Element and stat that can buff the reaction damage.

Lunar-Quickbloom Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Ineffa	Fractured Halo Aubade of Morningstar and Moon x4 Main ATK% or EM / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery
Nefer	Reliquary Of Truth Night Of The Sky's Unveiling x4 Main EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. Elemental Mastery
Lauma	Nightweaver's Looking Glass Deepwood Memories x4 Main Energy Recharge or EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery
Columbina	Nocturne's Curtain Call Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main HP% / HP% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP% 4. Elemental Mastery

Ineffa Can Work as Nefer’s Sustain

A lot of Nefer’s best team setups drop the sustain slot in favor of a strong buffer like Sucrose or Nahida. However, if you find yourself unable to play Nefer without a healer or shielder, then Ineffa is one of the better options thanks to her modest Elemental Mastery buff on her Burst.

The Dendro application in this team results in decreased Lunar-Charged frequency, however, and she functions more as a sustain unit rather than a Sub-DPS.

Lunar-Quickbloom Team Rotation

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Nefer	Alhaitham Neuvillette Cyno Clorinde	- For the On-Field DPS slot, you can use characters that can consistently apply Dendro, Hydro, or Electro to help maintain the reactions needed for Hyperbloom. Characters with strong on-field application and flexible team requirements generally work best, while those that can naturally drive the team's reactions can still provide good results alongside Ineffa.
Lauma	Baizhu Nahida	- Baizhu can be used as healer and Dendro reaction buffer as alternative to Lauma. - Nahida can be used as a Dendro Sub-DPS alternative for holding Deepwood while also providing Elemental Mastery buffing Hyperbloom damage.
Columbina	Yelan Aino Xingqiu Furina	- The fourth slot is best filled by a Hydro character who can provide consistent off-field application to help sustain Hyperbloom while working alongside Ineffa. - Aino works well as a Hydro applier who can support the team's reaction uptime while also providing additional utility. - Furina can provide strong off-field Hydro application and a teamwide DMG buff, but her HP drain can create some anti-synergy with teams that lack consistent healing, making her less comfortable than other options.

While a non-Moonsign character can buff the reaction damage, Columbina is able to buff it already. Make sure to keep at least one other Moonsign character for the Ascendant Gleam effect when replacing characters.

Lunar-Overvape Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Ineffa	Fractured Halo Aubade of Morningstar and Moon x4 Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery
Arlecchino	Crimson Moon's Semblance Fragment Of Harmonic Whimsy x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% 4. Elemental Mastery
Bennett	Aquila Favonia Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Energy Recharge / HP% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%
Yelan	Elegy for the End Emblem Of Severed Fate x4 Main HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP%

Ineffa Is a Decent Sustain Option for Arlecchino

Although Ineffa's Lunar-Charged DMG is decreased due to the existence of Pyro, she can still contribute a serviceable amount of additional damage to the overall team DPS to make this setup viable.

Furthermore, since Arlecchino's kit mechanics make it so she can't receive healing from outside sources, having a shielder is the more appropriate option in terms of sustain, which Arlecchino's playstyle definitely appreciates since it's easy for her to dip into lower HP thresholds.

Lunar-Overvape Team Rotation

Arlecchino is best used first so her Skill can give her more BoL for a longer infusion time.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Arlecchino	Hu Tao Yoimiya Cyno Ayato	- Any Pyro On-Field DPS can flex into Arlecchino's spot on the team, but you can also consider an Electro or even Hydro On-Fielder provided that you have a character that can provide the necessary Pyro application.
Bennett	Xilonen Kazuha Sucrose Durin Nicole	- Arlecchino (and other Pyro DPSes) usually get good milleage out of Bennett's generous ATK buff, but you can substitute him for other synergistic buffers such as RES shredders or, if you're using an Electro or Hydro DPS, can opt into an Off-Field Pyro applicator like Durin instead. - Nicole is also an ATK buffer with about the same value as Bennett, albeit she grants an additional shield. She is a little more effective if you have another Hexerei character in the team, however.
Yelan	Xingqiu Aino Columbina	- It's recommended to have someone with reliable and consistent Hydro application to ensure that you can still trigger some Lunar-Charged procs to enable Ineffa to function as more than just a shielder in this team setup. - Aino can be considered if you want to take advantage of the Ascendant Gleam buff, but her Hydro application is limited and is better suited alongside a Hydro DPS in this team instead.

Overload Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Ineffa	Fractured Halo Tenacity of the Millelith x4 x4 Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% (until 2,400~) 3. Energy Recharge
Klee	The Widsith A Day Carved From Rising Winds x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK%
Chevreuse	Symphonist of Scents └ Equip Favonius Lance if the team seems to be lacking Energy. Noblesse Oblige x4 Main HP% / HP% / CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance), HP% or Healing Bonus Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%
Durin	Athame Artis Celestial Gift x4 Main ATK% / ATK% or Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK%

Ineffa's Electro Application Lets Her Flex into Overload Teams

Ineffa was made to be played in a team where she can trigger Lunar-Charged for her to be able to deal direct Lunar-Charged DMG, but since Birgitta does apply Electro fairly reliably regardless, you can use her in place of other Electro Off-Fielders if you want to take advantage of the comfort her shield provides.

This type of Ineffa usage is notably effective for On-Field DPSes with low resistance to interruption and whose damage relies on Normal Attack combos, like Klee, and Klee especially appreciates Ineffa's AoE Electro application that pairs well with her own AoE attacks.

Overload Team Rotation

Ineffa can skip using her Burst since Overload doesn't benefit much from an EM buff.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Klee	Yoimiya Arlecchino Razor Clorinde	- Pyro or Electro On-Fielders that would prefer to be run with a shielder can be decent flex options for Klee's role as the On-Field DPS. - Electro options would prefer to have a teammate with reliable Pyro application.
Chevreuse	Durin	- Chevreuse is the dedicated Overload support, especially at C6, due to the amount of beneficial buffs she provides to the team, which includes Electro and Pyro RES shred and a teamwide ATK% buff. - She has no true replacement that can match her in terms of value, but you can make do with someone like Durin who does provide a bit of RES Shred himself, which is increased if he's paired with another Hexerei unit, ideally Nicole.
Durin	Pyro Traveler Mavuika Fischl Nicole	- The last slot slot can be given to Pyro or Electro teammates that add additional utlity either through RES Shredding, Pyro application if the On-Field DPS is Electro, or other meaningful buffs. - Since Klee is a Hexerei character, she'll want to be paired with another Hex unit to be able to access her character buffs and Hexerei status that will enable her to use specific equipment that want the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect active, such as the Rising Winds set.

Chevreuse Limits Teambuilding

Chevreuse's RES shred is tied to her passive that explicitly calls for a team made up of only Electro and Pyro characters; therefore, it's important to build the team with this restriction always in mind.

F2P Lunar-Charged Team

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Ineffa	Prospector's Shovel Aubade of Morningstar and Moon x4 Main ATK% or EM / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery
Ifa	The Widsith or Prototype Amber Viridescent Venerer x4 Main EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge or Elemental Mastery
Ororon	Sacrificial Bow or Favonius Warbow Noblesse Oblige x4 Main ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK%
Aino	Favonius Greatsword Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main Any / Any / CRIT Rate (for Favonius Grteatsword) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Greatsword)

Ineffa's Damage Is Good Even in F2P Setups

You can make a convincing and notably decent Lunar-Charged team with accessible 4-star characters thanks to Ineffa's overall teambuilding flexibility, where she only really wants to have a Hydro teammate that'll allow her to trigger Lunar-Charged consistently.

Ifa and Ororon are originally a synergistic Electro-Charged focus duo who got updated to work with Lunar-Charged. The damage they deal together isn't extremely impressive in comparison to Ineffa's personal damage potential, so you can opt into equipping them as buffers for Ineffa rather than trying to increase their DPS.

F2P Lunar-Charged Team Rotation

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Ifa	Sucrose Jahoda Heizou	- Anemo On-Fielders are a little more favored since they make it easier to trigger Lunar-Charged via Swirl.
Ororon	Sethos Fischl	- Sethos can be deployed as the On-Field DPS instead, where you'll pair him with an Off-Field Anemo support like Sucrose. - Fischl also fulfills the same "Sub-DPS" function as Ororon, but her contribution will be lower than what Ineffa can provide.
Aino	Xingqiu	- Xingqiu is the next best Aino alternative despite losing the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign level, since Ifa's Normal Attack-focused playstyle does enable Xingqiu's Burst to apply Hydro consistently.

Note!When replacing characters, you can choose to use a 5-star character if you have them. The DPS character can be Hydro or Electro, though Electro is preferred.
