Flins's Stat Priority
Flins is a Lunar DPS however Lunar damage does not scales from DMG % bonuses making an Electro DMG goblet a terrible option. Only Lunar damage bonus alongside CRIT, Attack % and EM are viable substats for Flins.
You always want to have around 120-130% Energy Recharge as Flins' entire gameplay revolves around his Elemental Burst and ensuring you have a consistent uptime. This can be further reduced if you have energy recharge weapon.
Recommended Stats for Flins
Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Flins's best free to play weapon, Prospector's Shovel. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.
Flins's Talent Priority
Flins's most important talents to level are her Elemental Burst and then Elemental Skill. Flins Basic Attacks can be ignored for the most part.
How to Play Flins
Flins is a Main DPS whose playstyle revolves primarily around his Elemental Burst. He has two different Burst states: a low-cost Mini Burst with a 30 Energy cost, and his standard Burst with an 80 Energy cost.
In most situations, you will want to prioritize using Flins’ Mini Burst. This state is accessed by tapping his Elemental Skill, Ancient Rite: Arcane Light, which temporarily replaces his Skill with the special Elemental Skill Northland Spearstorm. Activating this replaces his standard Burst with the Mini Burst, Thunderous Symphony.
Flins’ basic rotation is very straightforward. Cast his Elemental Skill, then cast it again to enter the Mini Burst state. Use his Burst to activate Thunderous Symphony, then continue dealing damage until the cooldown ends. This cycle has a 6-second cooldown by default, which is further reduced to 4 seconds when Flins has his C1.
