Ineffa Character Profile

Ineffa Information

Character Details

• Element: Electro
• Weapon: Polearm
• Progression Bonus: CRIT Rate +19.2%

Ineffa Gameplay

Ineffa is a 5-star Electro character who uses a Polearm and works as a Sub-DPS. Her Talent turns Electro-Charged reactions into Lunar-Charged reactions, which hit harder. Her Elemental Skill creates a shield for the team and summons Birgitta, who keeps zapping nearby enemies with Electro. Her Elemental Burst boosts the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party members.

Talent Priority

Here’s how to prioritize Ineffa’s talents:

• Elemental Skill: Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency: ★★★★★ (Focus on this first)
• Elemental Burst: Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator: ★★★★ (Still important)
• Normal Attack: Cyclonic Duster: ★ (Don’t worry about this one)

Best Weapons

Since Ineffa’s a DPS who scales with ATK, weapons that boost CRIT stats or ATK are great. Her kit also relies on Lunar-Charged reactions, so Elemental Mastery (EM) matters too.

• Fractured Halo (5★)
  • Base ATK: 608
  • Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG +66.2%
  • Effect (R1): Using an Elemental Skill or Burst boosts ATK by 24% for 20s. If a shield is active, the Electrifying Edict effect kicks in, making nearby party members deal 40% more Lunar-Charged DMG for 20s.

Best Artifacts & Stats

For artifacts, Thundering Fury is the go-to for maxing out Ineffa’s damage. If you want to lean into her support role, Tenacity of the Millelith works well. For newer players, a mix of 2-piece Thundering Fury, Gladiator's Finale, or Wanderer's Troupe is a decent starting point.

Artifacts

• Thundering Fury
  • 2-PC: Electro DMG Bonus +15%
  • 4-PC: Boosts Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Superconduct, Hyperbloom, and Lunar-Charged DMG by 40%, Aggravate DMG by 20%. Quicken or other reactions reduce Elemental Skill CD by 1s (every 0.8s).
• Tenacity of the Millelith
  • 2-PC: HP +20%
  • 4-PC: Elemental Skill hits boost nearby party members’ ATK by 20% and Shield Strength by 30% for 3s (every 0.5s, even off-field).

  • 2-PC Gladiator's Finale: ATK +18%
  • 2-PC Wanderer's Troupe: EM +80

  • Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
• Sub Stats: CRIT Rate & CRIT DMG > ATK% > EM

Best Team Comps

Ineffa’s playstyle is all about Lunar-Electro reactions, which need Electro and Hydro. Her teams usually fall into two categories: supporting a Hydro DPS or an Electro DPS. You can also run an Anemo driver with Ineffa and others dealing damage off-field. Here are some solid team setups:

1. Ineffa in Hydro DPS Teams

Hydro DPS characters like Neuvillette, Ayato, Tartaglia, or Kokomi pair well with Ineffa. For Sub-DPS, you can add Furina, Ororon, Xingqiu, Fischl, Yelan, or Yae Miko. For support, Kazuha or Xilonen are great.

2. Ineffa in Electro DPS Teams

Electro DPS teams work similarly to Hydro ones.

3. Ineffa - Anemo Team

Use an Anemo character as the driver with Ineffa and others dealing damage.
