Best Teams for Aino
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| ▼ Lunar-Crystallize with Aino | ★★★★★ - Aino's Elemental Burst applies an ample amount of Hydro to allow for constant Lunar-Crystallize triggers, which help maintain the Moondrifts. - The premium Zibai variant of this team is one of the strongest meta teams as of the current version, even when Aino is the Hydro source. |
| ▼ Nefer Lunar Bloom with Aino | ★★★★☆ - While her application and overall Burst range can be very limiting for Nefer, she's still one of the better Hydro supports for the team, more so if you have her C6 that increases Lunar Bloom DMG%. |
| ▼ Lunar-Charged with Aino | ★★★☆☆ - The Lunar-Charged reaction doesn't require a lot of Hydro to function, and both dedicated Lunar-Charged DPSes, Flins and Ineffa, still produce decent results with Aino as the Hydro source regardless if her Burst is stationary. |
Aino is a character who provides off-field Hydro infliction with her Elemental Burst. However, without other Moonsign characters, the AoE and frequency are fairly slow. Her personal damage is on the lower side, so focusing on increasing her support capabilities with artifacts and a supportive weapon is better for the team than focusing on her damage.
Shines At Constellation 6
At C6, Aino buffs the damage of Lunar Reactions, making her an amazing F2P option for Lunar Reactions team.
Lunar-Crystallize Team with Aino
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Aino | Favonius Greatsword Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main ER or EM / Elemental Mastery / CRIT Rate (for Favonius Greatsword) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Greatsword) |
Zibai | Lightbearing Moonshard Night of the Sky's Unveiling x4 Main DEF / DEF / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. DEF 3. Energy Recharge |
Illuga | Favonius Lance Silken Moon's Serenade x4 └ Requires C2 for him to reliably trigger the 4-piece effect. Equip Wanderer's Troupe x2 and Gilded Dreams x2 for the EM instead for pre-C2 Illuga. Main Energy Recharge or EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery |
Linnea | Golden Frostbound Oath Aubade of Morningstar and Moon x4 Main DEF% / DEF% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. DEF% 3. Energy Recharge |
Zibai's team can make room for Aino as the Hydro Support, if Columbina is in another team, and still perform decently in a lot of endgame content due to the high baseline DPS between Linnea and Zibai.
Rotation Of Lunar-Crystallize Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Aino. Use her Skill, then Burst. |
| 2 | Deploy Illuga's Skill before following it up with his Burst. |
| 3 | Swap to Linnea. Use her Skill once. Burst is optional if you need the healing. |
| 4 | Switch to Zibai. Use her Skill, do a few Normal Attacks while waiting to activate her special Skill. You can do this several times. End the combo with her Burst, then Skill again. |
| 5 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Zibai | NaviaArataki IttoNoelleColumbinaNeuvillette | - Zibai is the premiere Lunar-Crystallize DPS who is designed to take advantage of all the related Lunar-Crystallize supports like Illuga and Linnea. - Other Geo DPSes can be deployed in a Lunar-Crystallize team, but expect the performance to be significantly worse than Zibai's due to their lack of direct Lunar-Crystallize damage. - With Linnea, you can also make use of a Hydro On-Fielder as a driver or in a quickswap setup where they share field time with Linnea, who uses her triple-tap Skill. |
| Illuga | GorouXilonenZhongli | - Illuga's buffs are highly appreciated in a Zibai Lunar-Crystallize team, but Gorou can compete if Illuga isn't C6. - For other DPSes, you can opt into slotting in any other synergistic support here, such as Bennett for Navia. |
| Linnea | GorouIneffaZhongli | - Linnea contributes her own personal damage and some Geo RES Shred, but other characters that can provide some manner of usuable buffs for Zibai can be flexed into the last slot. |
Nefer Lunar Bloom Team with Aino
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Aino | Favonius Greatsword Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main ER or EM / Elemental Mastery / CRIT Rate (for Favonius Greatsword) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Greatsword) |
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. Elemental Mastery |
Lauma | Nightweaver's Looking Glass Gilded Dreams x2 Wanderer's Troupe x2 Main Energy Recharge or EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery |
| Sucrose | A Thousand Floating Dreams └ Equip Prototype Amber for the modest HP recovery effect if you have trouble staying alive. Deepwood Memories x4Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Elemental Mastery |
The last slot in Nefer's team doesn't have a fixed best-in-slot since most of them have their own caveats. You can consider a sustain option like Shinobu, or a buffer like Sucrose in a more offensive approach.
Nefer's highest DPS teams don't typically include a healer, so if you want her to reach her peak potential, you might need to find other means of fitting in sustain (like acquiring Lauma's C1, having Prototype Amber in the party, etc.) or play well enough to take advantage of Nefer's abundant Invincibility Frames (I-Frames) found in her special Charged Attacks and Burst to dodge.
Rotation Of Nefer Lunar Bloom Team
| 1 | Start with Aino. Use her Skill, then her Burst. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Switch to Lauma and use her Skill, then Burst. |
| 3 | Use Sucrose's Skill. |
| 4 | Switch to Nefer to execute her Charged Attack combos. You will usually use her Skill first, then do Charged Attacks into a dash cancel. You'll do this process twice since she has two skill charges. End the combo by using her Elemental Burst. |
| 5 | Repeat from step 1 after you're done with Nefer's combo. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Sucrose | NahidaKuki Shinobu | - Sucrose is the go-to option for the highest DPS due to her short animations and Elemental Mastery buff, which still applies in the team regardless if she can only Swirl Hydro. - Nahida also has an EM buff, but her longer animations make her a sidegrade to Sucrose unless you have Constellations on her. - Kuki Shinobu is the most accessible real healer or sustain option in the team since she's able to let Nefer trigger a few Spreads here and there, which does contribute a bit to the total DPS. |
| Lauma | NahidaIneffa | - Replacing Lauma in Nefer's team will result in a significant damage loss due to her buffs being a big reason for this team's high baseline performance. - Your options could range from including Ineffa to help make up for the DPS dip through her personal damage, or try to supplement Lauma with Nahida, which should still be serviceable, just not up to meta standards. |
| Nefer | Columbina | - Nefer is the dedicated Lunar Bloom On-Field DPS, and due to how Lunar Bloom doesn't deal damage by itself, only Columbina can come close to being a suitable replacement. - While you can deploy Lauma in a Nilou Bloom team, Aino usually has no place in that setup since you want Lauma to be the only Nod-Krai character there to enable her passive that allows the Blooms to CRIT. |
Lunar-Charged Team with Aino
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Aino | Favonius Greatsword Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main ER or EM / Elemental Mastery / CRIT Rate (for Favonius Greatsword) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Greatsword) |
Flins | Bloodsoaked Ruins Night Of The Sky's Unveiling x4 Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery |
Ineffa | Fractured Halo Aubade of Morningstar and Moon x4 Main ATK% / ATK% or EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% 4. Elemental Mastery |
Sucrose | Wandering Evenstar Viridescent Venerer x4 Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery |
While Columbina does raise the DPS potential of this team, you can still make do with Aino (and especially with her C6) since the team doesn't need a lot of Hydro to get everything going.
Rotation Of Lunar-Charged Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Ineffa and use her Skill. Burst is optional. |
| 2 | Switch to Aino. Use Skill into Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Sucrose and use her Skill or Normal Attack (x1) into Burst. └ If you're using Wandering Evenstar, do Normal Attack into Burst instead so you can use her Skill at the end of the rotation. |
| 4 | Switch to Flins. Use his Skill twice and then his Special Burst whenever it's up. └ His ideal combo will be: Skill (x2) -> Normal Attack (x3), dash -> Normal Attack (x4) -> Special Burst -> Normal Attack (x4) -> Skill -> Special Burst -> Normal Attack (x3) |
| 5 | Swap back into Sucrose to re-use her Skill. |
| 6 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Flins | IneffaColumbinaClorinde | - Flins is essential to getting the most out of a true Lunar-Charged team, but he's one of the more replaceable characters in the team since Ineffa enables the reaction by herself and does contribute a good chunk of personal DPS. - You can On-Field a Hydro or Electro DPS, or even build a team around Ineffa as the main damage source. |
| Ineffa | OroronFischlShinobu | - Replacing Ineffa does create a noticeable dip in total team damage output, but you can still get serviceable results with other Electro Off-Field Sub-DPSes. - You will always want to include a second Electro character to generate Energy for Flins since a lot of his damage is condensed into his special Bursts. |
| Sucrose | Lan YanXilonenKazuhaBennett | - The last slot should ideally be an Elemental RES shredder. Sucrose is the most accessible and popular option due to her short animations and EM buff that benefits both Flins and Ineffa. - Other options won't be as potent as Sucrose due to longer animations or less useful buffs. |
