Stat Goals For DPS Flins

When building Flins as a DPS, his current best set is the Night of the Sky's Unveiling. This is due to his unique gameplay of spamming Elemental Bursts to deal Direct Lunar-Charged Damage.

He also doesn't need Electro DMG Bonus for a mainstat since Lunar-Charged isn't affected by it. The stats you need to build on him is ATK, CRIT Stats and Energy Recharge. Elemental Mastery is also amazing for Flins but he has a passive that increases Elemental Mastery through ATK Stat and his teammates can provide Elemental Mastery.

Flins' Talent Priority

Best Weapon for Flins

Flins' scaling on ATK means his best weapons are CRIT and ATK stat sticks. For both Lunar-Charged and Electro DPS builds, his weapon options are the same for Premium and F2P weapons.

Premium Weapons for Flins

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Bloodsoaked Ruins	Get from Limited Banner - Flins' Signature Weapon that has a CRIT Rate secondary stat. - Increases Lunar-Charged DMG after using Elemental Burst. - Also provides additional CRIT DMG and Elemental Energy after Flins uses his Elemental Burst. - A strong and synergistic weapon that gives Flins all the stats he typically wants.
2nd	Staff Of The Scarlet Sands	Get from Limited Banner - Signature Weapon of Cyno that's obtainable when his Banner is available. - While Flins scales on ATK for his damage, building Elemental Mastery is recommended for him since it can help reach the needed EM for Lunar-Charged's damage bonuses.
3rd	Fractured Halo	Get from Limited Banner - Signature Weapon of Ineffa that's obtainable when her Banner is available. - Since Flins does not create a shield, this weapon serves mostly as a CRIT DMG and ATK stat stick for him.
4th	Lumidouce Elegy	Get from Limited Banner - Signature Weapon of Emilie that's obtainable when her Banner is available - Good stat stick for CRIT Rate and ATK.
5th	Staff Of Homa	Get from Limited Banner - Signature Weapon of Hu Tao that's obtainable when her Banner is available. - Stat stick for CRIT DMG and Attack. The extra HP% is welcome since Flins is an On-Field DPS who may have to take hits when failing to dodge or when the shield breaks.
6th	Primordial Jade Winged-Spear	Get from Banners - Standard Weapon banner that can be obtained from Limited Weapon and Standard Banners. - Mostly acts as a CRIT Rate stat stick and has a ramping ATK buff. - Needs multiple hits on enemies to activate the Damage Dealt buff.
7th	Deathmatch	Get from Battle Pass - CRIT Rate stat stick that can increase Flins' Attack greatly depending on the amount of enemies are on the field.

Flins' best weapon is his Signature Weapon due to the amount of offensive stats it offers from the external CRIT stats and the buff to Lunar-Charged damage, as well as the additional Energy refund after using his Elemental Burst. His other Premium Weapon options are going to gravitate towards CRIT and ATK% stat sticks.

Free To Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Flins

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P	Prospector's Shovel	Nod-Krai Forgeable (Craftable) Weapon - ATK% secondary stat is great for Flins since a lot of his abilities scale with attack. - Increases both Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged damage. - If the party has the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign level (2 Nod-Krai characters), further buffs Lunar-Charged damage. - Best at R5.
2nd (Event)	Tamayuratei No Ohanashi	Get from Limited Event - Obtained from Version 5.4's flagship event. - Energy Recharge stat is good for more Elemental Bursts cast to deal more Direct Lunar-Charged Damage.
3rd (Event)	Missive Windspear	Get from Limited Event - Obtained from Version 3.1's flagship event. - Greatly increases ATK and Elemental Mastery. - For Electro DPS build, this weapon is better to use compared to Tamayuratei No Ohanashi.

The F2P weapon options for Flins are ATK or Elemental Mastery Stat Sticks for increasing his damage dealt. The Nod-Krai craftable Polearm is a decent boost to his personal damage and is readily obtainable for newer Travelers as soon as you are able to access Nod-Krai.

Flins Best Artifacts

Since Flins primarily scales with ATK% as an On-Field DPS, it's easy to see that the Artifact Sets good for him are ATK and damage boosting sets. When played as a Lunar-Charged DPS, he does not need Electro Damage bonuses, but in the Electro DPS build, Flins will need it. See the recommendations below:

Lunar-Charged DPS Electro DPS

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Night of the Sky's Unveiling	★★★★★ - 2-piece effect gives Elemental Mastery, which is ideal for better Lunar-Charged damage. - Gives extra CRIT Rate depending on the party's Moonsign level, with Ascendant Gleam (2 Nod-Krai characters) providing the most CRIT. - Lunar Reaction DMG is also slightly buffed when another Nod-Krai character (Off-Field support) in the party equips and activates the 4-piece effect of the Silken Moon's Serenade set.
Any ATK% set Any ER set	★★★★・ - Flins' playstyle looks to be that of an Elemental Burst spammer similar to Varesa and having both ATK and ER boosting Artifacts can help in boosting two stats he needs in order to deal more Direct Lunar-Charged Damage.
Gilded Dreams	★★★・ ・ - 2nd Best Set for boosting Flins' ATK and EM for Lunar-Charged Damage.
Any ATK% set x2 Any ATK% set x2	★★・ ・ ・ - 2nd Best 2-pc Artifact Sets for Flins. - While having too much Attack can be detrimental, Electro Damage doesn't boost his Lunar-Charged damage and it's recommended to focus more on his ATK instead of Elemental Mastery since Flins can boost his EM with his Attack stat.

Recommended Artifact Stats

	Main: ATK% Sub: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Energy Recharge / Elemental Mastery
	Main: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Sub: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / ATK% / Energy Recharge

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

While Energy Recharge is important on Flins due to his playstyle of spamming Elemental Bursts, he still needs ATK and CRIT Stats to boost his damage. Additionally, Flins is an Electro character and Electro Resonance gives him more Energy gained so you can focus on his other stats first before Energy Recharge.

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Night of the Sky's Unveiling	★★★★★ - 2-piece effect gives Elemental Mastery, which is ideal for better Electro-Charged damage. - Gives extra CRIT Rate depending on the party's Moonsign level, with Ascendant Gleam (2 Nod-Krai characters) providing the most CRIT.
Gilded Dreams	★★★★・ - 2nd best generalist set for boosting Flins' damage as Electro DPS. - Additional EM boosts Lunar-Charged Damage (if there is a Hydro Sub-DPS on the team) and normal Electro Reaction Damage.
Marechaussee Hunter	★★★★ ・ - 3rd best set for Flins if using Furina on the team. - Can have better performance than Gilded Dreams since Furina can boost Flins' Normal/Charged Attack damage.
Thundering Fury	★★★ ・ ・ - Electro DPS generalist set that is decent on Flins but is outdone by direct stat boosting sets.

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

When building Flins as an Electro DPS, it's best to focus on his ATK and CRIT Stats then his Elemental Mastery. Flins' Elemental Burst deals Lunar-Charged Damage which is noticeably weaker since it only scales on his Attack and CRIT Stats so Energy Recharge can be on a lower stat priority.

Best Team Comp for Flins

Lunar-Charged Team Comp for Flins

DPS	Shielder	Support	Sub-DPS
Flins	Ineffa	Sucrose	Xingqiu
Details
- Flins can be paired with Ineffa since Ineffa can boost Lunar-Charged Damage dealt by the team. - Sucrose is the best Anemo Support for Lunar-Charged due to her EM buff and ability to hold VV to shred the Elemental Resistances of enemies. - Xingqiu can generate a lot of Energy Particles and hold Favonius Sword to ensure his Burst uptime even as solo Hydro.

As a dedicated Lunar-Charged Support who can also provide Shields, Ineffa is one of Flins' best slot-in for his teams. She can also contribute to the team's damage since she is also a Sub-DPS character. Sucrose is the best VV holder for Lunar-Charged since her teamwide Elemental Mastery buff can greatly alleviate the EM requirements for the team. Xingqiu can be switched out for Aino for Hydro Sub-DPS.

Basics of Using Flins (Beginner Guide)

DPS for Lunar-Charged and Enables Lunar-Charged Reactions

Flins is a DPS that can deal Direct Lunar-Charged Damage through his Elemental Burst. Just like Ineffa, he converts the team's Electro-Charged Reactions into Lunar-Charged.

Use Elemental Skill to Infuse Flins' Normal/Charged Attacks with Electro

Flins' Elemental Skill infuses his Normal and Charged Attacks with Electro, making him a Reaction Driver as well. Assuming based on the trend of other Infusion characters, Flins' multipliers for his Electro Infused Attacks might be in his Elemental Skill instead of his Normal Attack Skill.

Elemental Skill also Changes his Elemental Burst

A similar character with this ability is Varesa who can change her Elemental Skill when you achieve the conditions needed. It appears that Flins changes his when his Elemental Skill is cast and the special Elemental Burst has fewer Attacks but a shorter cooldown.

Elemental Burst Deals Direct Lunar-Charged Damage

Flins' Elemental Burst deals Lunar-Charged Damage directly without needing the reaction. This makes any Lunar-Charged damage boosting Skills or Equipment able to boost it aside from Flins' own ATK stat.

Special Elemental Burst Has Fewer Hits But Lower Cost & CD

Flins changes his Elemental Burst after using his Elemental Skill. The special Elemental Burst has a lower Energy Cost and lower cooldown as well. However it has a lower amount of hits, making it weaker but more spammable.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Flins

How To Use Flins' Skills & Passives?

Electro DPS For Lunar-Charged

Flins is an Electro DPS who can deal Direct Lunar-Charged Damage. His ability to infuse his Attacks with Electro also make him a great Reaction Driver for Lunar-Charged.

Use Elemental Skill To Gain Infusion And Change Elemental Burst

Flins' Elemental Skill infuses his Normal/Charged Attacks with Electro and changes his Elemental Burst. The Special Elemental Burst has lower Energy cost and lower CD but also has fewer hits dealt to enemies.

Special Elemental Burst For Direct Lunar-Charged Damage

Flins' Special Elemental Burst should be the one used instead of the Normal version since it's an instant cast and does not take up time in rotations. Additionally, it can be used more frequently and has a lower Energy cost, allowing Flins to deal more Direct Lunar-Charged Damage.

Also Enables Lunar-Charged Reactions Like Ineffa

Flins shares a similar Passive with Ineffa that converts all Electro-Charged Reactions triggered to be changed into Lunar-Charged. This makes him the second character to enable Lunar-Charged.

Use A Viridescent Venerer Holder Instead Of A Scroll Set Holder

Due to how Lunar-Charged works, Electro Damage buffs doesn't affect its damage but the Enemy Resistance to Electro does. As such, a Support with Viridescent Venerer should be used instead of a Scroll set holder to boost Lunar-Charged damage.
