As the first character to be released from Nod Krai region, she is sure to pique interest among players, whether you’re looking for a versatile Electro shielder, have outgrown your Fischl or just feeling interested in robotic characters that you haven’t had the ability to play in Fontaine. Here’s everything you need to know about Ineffa’s leaked information for patch 5.8, including her kit, ascension and talent materials, recommended weapons, builds, and optimal team compositions.
Genshin Ineffa Kit Overview
Ineffa is a 5-star Electro Shielder and Sub-DPS with impressive AoE capabilities. If you’ve always wanted a Fischl with more survivability built into her kit or a Lan Yan with significantly more damage, this character is just for you. These are her abilities:
Normal Attack – Cyclonic Duster. A 4-hit spear combo, a stamina-consuming spinning attack, and an aerial plunge that deals area-of-effect damage on impact.
Elemental Skill – Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency. Ineffa activates her Enhanced Cleaning Module to deal AoE Electro damage, generates a shield that scales with her ATK and summons her support unit Birgitta which follows nearby enemies and deals AoE Eelectro damage every 2 seconds.
Elemental Burst – Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator. Ineffa launches Birgitta to deal huge AoE Electro damage and deploy her on the field, re-summoning and resetting Birgitta’s duration if she is already active.

Best Weapons for Ineffa
Fractured Halo – Ineffa’s signature weapon. With high base attack of 608 and 66% Crit DMG bonus this weapon will easily be her best in slot, especially considering the fact that Ineffa gains 19.2% bonus Crit Rate during her ascension to level 90. In addition to this, the weapon will provide a 24% ATK bonus upon using Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst for 20s. This will make the weapon a great generalist option for other characters as well.
Calamity Queller – A weapon that gained new life with Escoffier’s release is even more useful now, becoming an excellent replacement, should you not have Ineffa’s signature weapon. With very high base attack of 741 and ATK% substat, this weapon is ideal for a polearm wielder which scales off ATK. 12% Elemental DMG bonus is a welcome addition and Ineffa will also make great use of its Consummation status, as she is able to deal damage off-field with the help of her support unit Birgitta, stacking up to 38.4% extra ATK after 6 seconds on Refinement level 1.
Missive Windspear – The premier F2P option. High base attack of 510, 41% ATK bonus substat and a powerful effect which will increase your ATK by a further 24% and Elemental Mastery by 96% with consistent uptime, as Ineffa can trigger elemental reactions while off-field.
Optimal Ineffa Builds
When it comes to building Ineffa, you should decide whether you want to build her as a Sub-DPS, by focusing on her personal damage or build her in a support role – to provide stronger buffs and shields to your other team members. This will affect the choice of the artifact set that you want to use.
4-piece Golden Troupe is her best artifact set in a Sub-DPS role. With a massive 70% boost to Elemental Skill damage, it will enable her sidekick Birgitta to dish out large amount of damage on a consistent basis at a level comparable to that of Escoffier or Furina.
4-piece Tenacity of the Millelith is the best artifact set for Ineffa’s support builds. As Birgitta unleashed using her Elemental skill attacks every 2 seconds, this enables her to have essentially permanent uptime of 4-piece effect of this set, buffing all of your party members attack by 20% and strengthening the shield she provides by a further 30%.
Ineffa’s Best Teams and Synergies
Ineffa’s best teams will be those, in which Fischl, Lan Yan and Yae Miko previously shone the brightest. While her raw damage numbers will not exceed those of Fischl, the extra utility she brings to the team with her shield and ability of her summon to follow enemies, will make teams in which Fischl played a key part, much more relaxing and enjoyable to play.
Recommended Ineffa Overloaded team:
Clorinde – Alternatively, you may use Raiden Shogun, however, considering she already has great AoE and interruption resistance built into her kit, she gains less in this team from switching out Fischl or Yae Miko. Meanwhile, Arlecchino would prefer a bit more healing in her teams.
Ineffa
Chevreuse
Bennett
Recommended Ineffa Electro-Charged team:
Neuvillette
Ineffa
Ororon – Iansan will also do, assuming you like moving around with your Neuvillette to max out her buff.
Furina
All Ineffa Constellations
When it comes to her constellations, they’re not necessary for her kit to function unlike some characters like Wriothesley. However, if you do decide to go for them, C2 is a good stopping point which provides extra AoE damage and shield uptime. Here’s all the constellations that are available to Ineffa:
C1 – When Ineffa activates her Shield, all nearby party members will gain the Carrier Flow Composite effect: Increases Lunar-Charged DMG by 2.5% for every 100 ATK that Ineffa has, up to a maximum of 50%.
C2 – When the Elemental Burst hits opponents, it will inflict the Punishment Edict status on one of those hit opponents: After a brief delay, or when this opponent is attacked, nearby opponents will take AoE Electro DMG equal to 400% of Ineffa’s ATK. This DMG is considered Lunar-Charged DMG. Additionally, when the Elemental Burst is unleashed, nearby party members will receive her Shield.
C3 – Increases the Level of Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency Elemental Skill by 3.
C4 – When your own party members trigger Lunar-Charged reactions, recover 5 Elemental Energy. This effect can occur once every 4s.
C5 – Increases the Level of Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator Elemental Burst by 3.
C6 – When Ineffa is affected by the Carrier Flow Composite effect, she will deal AoE Electro DMG equal to 200% of her ATK to opponents in the current active character’s vicinity after nearby thunderclouds release bursts of lightning at opponents. This DMG is considered Lunar-Charged DMG. The aforementioned effect can trigger once every 3.5s.
