Best Teams For Flins
Popular Teams For Flins
| Team | Rating Description |
|---|---|
| ▼Premium Lunar-Charged Team | ★★★★★ - Uses 2 Nod-Krai 5-stars whose niche is Lunar-Charged (Flins and Ineffa). - Due to the unique damage calculation of Lunar-Charged, EM Buffs and Elemental Shred work better than Elemental Damage Bonus buffs. This is why Sucrose is a very good Support for Lunar-Charged. - Any Hydro Sub-DPS can be used for Hydro Application but Yelan or Aino are preferred. |
| ▼F2P Lunar-Charged Team | ★★★・・ - Lunar-Charged team options for Flins when you don't have Ineffa. - Even when F2P, Lunar-Charged is still a good team for Flins since Aino is given out for free and can enable Level 2 Moonsign effects. - Any Anemo character can be used as VV holder while the Sub-DPS can be another Hydro or Electro. |
| ▼Hyperbloom Team | ★★・・・ - A Dendro Sub-DPS can be added in Flins' teams to have Hyperbloom happening alongside Lunar-Charged. - But since it won't be focusing much on building around Lunar-Charged, this team's damage is lower than dedicated Lunar-Charged teams. - A possible team option if you don't have Ineffa but have Lauma instead. |
Flins is designed to be an On-Field Electro DPS that focuses around the Lunar-Charged reaction. While Lunar-Charged deals Electro damage, it is not affected by Electro Damage Bonuses and only uses ATK and CRIT Stats. This makes teams with Flins better overall when an Elemental RES shredder, like an Anemo character equipped with the Viridescent Venerer set, is included in the lineup since Enemy Resistances can affect the damage taken from Lunar-Charged.
Moonsign Ascendant is Important for Flins' Teams
Moonsign is a new mechanic introduced in Nod-Krai. Each Nod-Krai character increases it by 1 level and at the 2nd level, various buffs for Lunar Reactions will be activated. Aside from the buffs given, Flins' Active Skills are able to deal more Lunar-Charged Damage and his Burst gains more attacks dealt.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
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 Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main ATK% / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery |
Sucrose | Wandering Evenstar └ Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is the next best choice for Sucrose in this team for the ATK% buff. Viridescent Venerer x4Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery |
Aino (C6) | Favonius Greatsword Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Energy Recharge / EM / CRIT Rate Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate for Favonius passive 3. Elemental Mastery |
With Ineffa's shield and Lunar-Charged damage buffs, Flins will be able to deal damage comfortably. Sucrose and Ineffa both buff Elemental Mastery. Wandering Evenstar allows Sucrose to also buff ATK and boost her EM. Aino's C6 provides a direct buff to Lunar-Charged DMG, which helps to increase both Flins and Ineffa's DPS.
Rotation Of Premium Lunar-Charged Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Ineffa and use her Skill. Burst is optional, but if you want to use it, use her Burst first then Skill. |
| 2 | Switch to Aino and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Sucrose and use her Burst then Skill. |
| 4 | Switch to Flins. Use his Skill first, followed by a Normal Attack (x1), followed by another Skill then trigger his mini-Burst. Once his Skill is back up, use it again, followed by another proc of his mini-Burst. You can fill the downtime between Cooldowns and actions with a Normal Attack (x1). |
| 5 | Repeat from Step 1 once buffs expire. |
Lunar-Charged is a reaction that can easily stagger enemies so it's advised to not use Charged Attacks in Flins' rotation due to how most Charged Attacks can knock back enemies.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Ineffa | OroronFischlShinobu | - Reserve this spot for an Electro Sub-DPS. - Any of the existing Electro Sub-DPS characters can be used but Ororon and Fischl are preferred. - Kuki is better (for sustain) if you want to use Sucrose. |
| Sucrose | Lan YanXilonenKazuhaBennett | - Reserve this spot for a Viridescent Venerer holder or ATK buffer. - Lan Yan can provide shields and should be used if Ineffa is not used. She can buff ATK for Flins with Thrilling Tales or Wandering Evenstar. With C4, she can also buff EM. - Xilonen can provide Elemental RES shred and healing, but has no way of buffing EM. - Kazuha can be used but his Elemental Damage Buff will only affect non-Lunar-Charged Damage dealt by Flins. - Bennett can be used as ATK buffer and Noblesse set holder if you are not using Ineffa and is using Aino as 2nd Nod-Krai. |
| Aino (C6) | YelanCandace (C6) | - Reserve this spot for a Hydro Sub-DPS. - Yelan is a good substitute for Aino, especially if you equip her with Elegy for the End. Her DMG% buff however doesn't increase Lunar-Charged damage. - C6 Candace can apply AoE Hydro, which synergizes well with the multi-target nature of the Lunar-Charged reaction. |
Does Flins Need Ineffa?
Flins needs Ineffa for his team to be competitive with some of the top meta teams (barring Mavuika's Melt team and Skirk's Freeze), such as Varesa's Overload team. But while Flins' total team DPS is greatly improved with Ineffa due to her EM Buffs and personal damage, he can still produce decent results without her provided you use Aino with him, at the cost of significantly less damage overall.
You still need another Nod-Krai character to activate the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign Level in order for his damage to be viable into endgame content, so Aino (ideally C6) becomes mandatory without Ineffa.
| Point! | No Ineffa? Options to Consider: - Pull for Ineffa on her rerun since she's still his best teammate overall. If you aren't in a rush to get Flins, it may be better to prioritize securing Ineffa for him first. - Obtain Flins' C1, since it provides about the same damage increase as Ineffa contributing her own DPS, but doesn't compensate for her buffs and shield. Aino is still required even with his C1. - Try to get Aino's C6, if you can afford to, due to the Lunar-Charged DMG buff. Though Aino is still fine with Flins even at C0. - Consider running Lauma alongside Flins in a Hyperbloom team instead. - Wait for future characters that might have synergy with Flins. |

F2P Lunar-Charged Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Flins | Prospector's Shovel 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 |
Aino | Favonius Greatsword Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery |
Lan Yan | Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers Viridescent Venerer x4 Main ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub 1. ATK% 2. Elemental Mastery |
Fischl | The Stringless Golden Troupe x4 Main ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% 4. Elemental Mastery |
For F2P, Aino is a newly released free character that could be obtained by progressing in the Nod-Krai Archon Quest while Lan Yan and Fischl were both free in previous events. Lan Yan mainly functions as the shielder and shredder while Fischl helps deal damage and generate Particles for Flins. Aino is the 2nd Nod-Krai character for activating Ascendant Moonsign and applies Hydro for Lunar-Charged proc.
Rotation Of F2P Lunar-Charged Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Fischl and use her Burst or Skill to start applying Electro. |
| 2 | Switch to Aino and use her Burst then Skill. |
| 3 | Switch to Lan Yan and tap her Skill twice to create a shield and swirl Electro. |
| 4 | Switch to Flins. Use his Skill first, followed by a Normal Attack (x1), followed by another Skill then trigger his mini-Burst. Once his Skill is back up, use it again, followed by another proc of his mini-Burst. You can fill the downtime between Cooldowns and actions with a Normal Attack (x1). |
| 5 | Repeat from Step 1 once buffs expire. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Lan Yan | SucroseLynetteBennett | - Sucrose is still Flins' best buffer due to her EM buff and ability to hold Viridescent Venerer. Because she doesn't have any sustain, her best pairing is Shinobu in the Electro slot. - Since Lynette is permanently free, her ATK buff and shred from VV can be used as an alternative to Lan Yan - Bennett was also free from a previous event and can greatly buff Flins' ATK and provide healing as well. |
| Fischl | OroronShinobu | - Ororon is the next best Electro Sub-DPS alternative and can be used in place of Fischl. - If you plan to use Sucrose as a Lan Yan alternative in Flins' F2P team, Shinobu becomes the only other option for reliable healer unless you're willing to play without sustain options. |
| Aino | Xingqiu | - Without Aino, Flins' performance will drop since the Moonsign Level is only 1. Another character can hold Silken Moon set but without Ascendant activated, Flins' damage will be lower. - Xingqiu can be used as an alternative to Aino for Hydro Sub-DPS, but because Aino is given for free as you progress through the Nod-Krai Archon Quest, it's better to just use resources to build Aino. |
If you are replacing characters with 5-star alternatives, make sure to use the Premium team as a reference on which characters are the best in slot teammates for Flins.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Flins | Bloodsoaked Ruins Night Of The Sky's Unveiling x4 Main ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery |
Fischl | Elegy For The End Tenacity of the Millelith x4 Main EM or ATK% / EM or ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. Elemental Mastery 4. ATK% |
Lauma | Nightweaver's Looking Glass Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main EM / Dendro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. Elemental Mastery |
Kokomi | Sacrificial Fragments Deepwood Memories x4 Main HP% / HP% / HP% or Healing Bonus Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP% |
If you have Lauma but no Ineffa, you can opt into a Hyperbloom team as an alternative. The damage output should be fairly decent, but the team variations without Lauma are likely to lag behind. Furthermore, Lauma sees more value in a dedicated Lunar-Bloom team, with Flins also being better in a team centered around Lunar-Charged. This team is sub-optimal for either, but can be worth the consideration if you happen to have both Lauma and Flins.
Note that because Lauma with Flins activates Ascendant Gleam, Lauma will want to build for personal damage instead since her passive, Light for the Frosty Night, no longer allows Hyperblooms to CRIT at this Moonsign level and buffs Lunar-Bloom damage instead, which she provides through her Hold Skill.
Rotation Of Hyperbloom Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Lauma's Burst into Skill (Hold). For the very first rotation, use her Skill (Tap) version instead. |
| 2 | Switch to Aino and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 3 | Swap to Yelan then use her Skill into Burst. |
| 4 | Switch to Flins. Use his Skill first, followed by a Normal Attack (x1), followed by another Skill then trigger his mini-Burst. Once his Skill is back up, use it again, followed by another proc of his mini-Burst. You can fill the downtime between Cooldowns and actions with a Normal Attack (x1). |
| 5 | Swap back to Lauma to use her Skill (Hold) when you have 3 Verdant Dew stacks. |
| 6 | Repeat from Step 1 once buffs expire. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Lauma | NahidaBaizhuCollei | - Lauma contributes her own personal damage through her Hold Skill. Replacing her would mean a significant decrease in potential team DPS. - Nahida has decent AoE Dendro application and provides an EM buff from her Burst. - Baizhu can make for a decent sustain and Dendro source, but limits the team's capability to single-target content only. Use a different Hydro character other than Kokomi when fielding Baizhu. - Collei is a F2P option that can provide a lot of Dendro application, but has no other real value apart from being able to use the Deepwood Memories set. |
Kokomi | YelanXingqiuAino | - Yelan and Xingqiu both provide reliable Hydro application for Hyperbloom and Lunar-Charged. - Aino is especially good if you don't have Lauma to use alongside Flins, since she enables the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign Level. |
| Fischl | ShinobuRaiden Shogun | - Flins always wants to be paired alongside an Electro teammate to help him charge his Elemental Burst. - Since Shinobu already heals, you're better off swapping Kokomi in the Hydro slot to someone else. - Raiden Shogun and Shinobu will trigger a large majority of the Hyperblooms, so its better to equip them with a lot of Elemental Mastery. |
Without Lauma, a Flins Hyperbloom team is required to slot in Aino as the Hydro character in order to activate the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign Level. This limits the sustain options to either the Electro or Dendro character.
If you do have Ineffa, you can either push through with Flins' premium Lunar-Charged team where he contributes the majority of the team damage, or swap-out Lauma (and deploy her in her own Lunar-Bloom team) for a different Dendro applicator.
