Talents

Normal Attack: Pocztowy Demonspear

• Up to 5 spear strikes.
• Charged Attack: Uses Stamina to toss the spear forward.
• Plunging Attack: Drops from the air, dealing AoE damage on impact and along the path.

In Manifest Flame (from his Skill), Normal and Charged Attacks deal Electro DMG (can’t be overridden) and count as Lunar-Charged DMG.

Elemental Skill: Ancient Rite: Arcane Light

• Enters Manifest Flame mode: Normal/Charged Attacks turn to Electro DMG, gain interruption resistance, but can’t Plunge.
• Switches the Skill to Northland Spearstorm: Unleashes a spear flurry for AoE Electro DMG and swaps Burst to Thunderous Symphony for 6s.
• Base CD: 6s (fixed).
• No Energy Cost mentioned (on-field driver).

This skill sets Flins up as a main DPS, enabling consistent Electro application for reactions.

Elemental Burst: Ancient Ritual: Cometh the Night

• Deals initial AoE Electro DMG, then 2 middle-phase and 1 final-phase AoE Electro DMG, all Lunar-Charged.
• Energy Cost: 70.
• Thunderous Symphony (Special Burst): Triggered after Northland Spearstorm. Costs 30 Energy, deals one AoE Electro Lunar-Charged hit. Nearby thunderclouds (from Moonsign) add an extra hit.
• Includes Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam for bonus DMG under specific conditions.

The special Burst is great for quick-swap teams with lower energy needs, perfect for Flins DPS build.

Passive Talents

• Symphony of Winter (1st Ascension): Buffs based on party’s Moonsign (Nod-Krai mechanic).
• Whispering Flame (4th Ascension): Boosts EM by 8% of ATK (max 160). C4 bumps it to 10% (max 220).
• Moonsign Benediction: Turns Electro-Charged into Lunar-Charged reactions, boosting DMG. Flins’ Lunar-Charged reactions deal +20% DMG.
• A Light in the Dark (Utility): Shows nearby Nod-Krai specialties on the mini-map.

These passives make ATK stacking key for EM and reaction damage, great for Flins reaction build.

Constellations

• C1: Part the Veil of Snow - Drops Northland Spearstorm CD to 4s. Party Lunar-Charged reactions restore 8 Energy to Flins (5.5s CD).
• C2: The Devil's Wall - Post-Northland Spearstorm, next Normal Attack deals +50% ATK as AoE Electro (Lunar-Charged). Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam cuts enemy Electro RES by 25% for 7s on Electro hits.
• C3: Stranger in the Night - Burst level +3 (max 15).
• C4: Night on Bald Mountain - +20% ATK. Boosts Whispering Flame to 10% ATK-to-EM (max 220).
• C5: Exile's Shadow - Skill level +3 (max 15).
• C6: Songs and Dances of Death - +35% DMG to Flins’ Lunar-Charged reactions. Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam adds +10% Lunar-Charged DMG to party.

C1 and C6 are huge for energy and damage. C4 is solid for EM scaling, making these key for Flins constellations guide.

Best Weapons

Flins works best with weapons boosting CRIT, ATK, or Energy Recharge (ER) to support his ATK/EM scaling and Burst uptime. Here’s a Flins weapon guide.

Ranked Options:

1. Bloodsoaked Ruins (5★ Signature) - CRIT DMG substat. Boosts Lunar-Charged DMG and refunds energy, perfect for 6s rotations.
2. Staff of the Scarlet Sands (5★) - CRIT Rate. Converts EM to ATK, matching his passives.
3. Staff of Homa (5★) - CRIT DMG. HP-to-ATK boost, though less ideal.
4. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (5★) - CRIT Rate. ATK stacks on hits.
5. Deathmatch (4★) - CRIT Rate. ATK/CRIT in combat.
6. Prospector's Shovel (4★ F2P) - New Nod-Krai weapon; good ER and DMG.
7. Ballad of the Fjords (4★) - ER for Burst spam.
8. The Catch (4★ Free) - ER, +Burst DMG/CRIT Rate.

Focus on CRIT weapons; aim for ~140% ER with signature (lower with C1).

Best Artifacts

Flins relies on ATK for damage and EM via passives, so prioritize ATK% mains with CRIT/EM substats. The new 6.0 set is his best. This is crucial for a Flins artifact guide.

• Night of the Sky's Unveiling (4pc) - New domain set. 2pc: +80 EM. 4pc: Likely enhances reactions/Lunar-Charged.
• Gilded Dreams (4pc) - 2pc: +80 EM. 4pc: EM/ATK buffs on reactions.
• 2pc ATK% + 2pc ATK% (e.g., Gladiator's Finale + Shimenawa's Reminiscence) - +36% ATK for early farming.

Main Stats:

• Sands: ATK%
• Goblet: ATK% (Electro DMG if ATK is high)
• Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG (1:2 ratio)

Substats Priority:

1. ER (~140-160%, lower with C1/refunds)
2. CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
3. ATK%
4. EM (passives help, but more is good)

Target 2,200+ ATK for max C4 EM bonus.

Talent Priority

1. Elemental Burst - Main damage source, especially the special version.
2. Elemental Skill - Sets up infusion and rotation.
3. Normal Attack - For on-field DPS, less critical for quick-swap.

Level Burst first for max damage in your Flins talent priority.

Best Team Compositions

Flins shines in Lunar-Charged teams with Hydro for Electro-Charged triggers. Nod-Krai characters add Moonsign buffs (e.g., +Lunar-Charged DMG with 2+ Nod-Krai). Rotation: Skill > Attacks > Northland Spearstorm > Special Burst > Swap. Here’s a Flins team composition guide.

• Premium Team (Nod-Krai Synergy): Flins (Main DPS), Ineffa (Hydro Sub-DPS/Support), Aino (Support/Healer, free 4-star), Sucrose (Anemo VV/EM Buffer).
  Ineffa/Aino enable Hydro reactions and Moonsign stacks. Sucrose groups and shreds RES.
• F2P-Friendly Team: Flins (Main DPS), Yelan or Xingqiu (Hydro Sub-DPS), Fischl (Electro Battery/Sub-DPS), Sucrose or Kazuha (Anemo VV).
  Yelan/Xingqiu for off-field Hydro. Fischl for energy.
• Quick-Swap Variant: Flins (Sub-DPS/Burst), Ineffa (Hydro), Furina (Hydro Buffer), Kazuha (Anemo).
  Focus on Special Burst spam with low ER.

More Nod-Krai characters may unlock new synergies.

Playstyle Tips

• Rotation (On-Field DPS): Kick off with supports’ skills/Bursts for Hydro and VV shred. Use Flins’ Skill for Manifest Flame, hit Normal/Charged Attacks for Electro reactions, then Northland Spearstorm into Thunderous Symphony. Repeat every ~6-20s.
• Reaction Focus: Pair with Hydro for Lunar-Charged reactions (boosted Electro-Charged). Stack Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam for extra Burst hits and buffs.
• Energy Management: Hit ER threshold; C1 and signature weapon ease this. Use Fischl for battery if needed.
• Cons Tips: C0 is solid for F2P. C1/C6 improve energy and damage.
• Weaknesses: Needs Hydro teammates and setup for reactions; short field time.
