Flins Guide and Best Builds for Genshin Impact

Strengths

• Uses several 4-Star supports which are much less contested giving you more team flexibility in endgame modes.
• High DPS with room to grow further as more Nod-Krai supports are released.

Weaknesses

• Ineffa is key to Flins's teams, offering major DPS causing a large difference in performance without Ineffa.
• Most team comps only have shielding leaving Flins vulnerable to chip damage or corrosion.

Flins is a 5-Star Electro Main DPS focused on dealing the majority of his damage through Lunar-Charged reactions.

Flins best weapon is as expected their signature Bloodsoaked Ruins, with there being a great range of build options such as the listed however other good 5-Star options include Fractured Halo, Lumidouce Elegy and Primordial Jade Winged-Spear to name a few. Prospector's Shovel is Flin's best F2P weapon and a good baseline for Flins.

Flins best artifact set is Night of the Sky's Unveiling which is further enhanced by having multiple Nod-Krai character as well as increasing Lunar Reaction DMG by 10% if a support is using another Nod-Krai artifact set.

Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Flins's best weapon. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.

• HP: 18,000 - 20,000
• ATK: 2100 - 2500
• Energy Recharge: 110 - 150%
• CRIT Rate: ~65-70%
  • +15/30% with Night of the Sky's Unveiling
• CRIT DMG: 175 - 200%

With Flins, it is incredibly important to consider the Crit Rate buffs granted with Night of the Sky's Unveiling so that you do not overcap on crit while building.

Flins generally has low Energy Recharge requirements as you generally do not use his full burst. Additionally, if you have C1 Part the Veil of Snow, Flins will actually want more energy recharge because he will be able to burst more in each rotation.

The best teams for Flins require at least 1 more Nod-Krai character to activate Ascendant Gleam. Flins also has 2 very important requirements while team-building:

• An Electro unit to act as a battery/resonance.
• A Hydro character for Lunar-Charged reactions.

The final slot then has a lot more room for flexibility but this mainly comes in the form of more RES Shred.

Ineffa is often a very important part of any Flins team. While Ineffa isn't required, they have a lot of synergy and teams without Ineffa generally see a 20-30% decrease in DPS.

At the moment, Aino is the recommended Hydro option in Flins teams, providing short rotations, EM Buffs and Lunar-Charged buffs however Yelan and Furina are both competitive. For support options, Sucrose is generally your best option because being a catalyst means they can bring weapons such as Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers as well as RES Shred from VV and EM buffs. Other non-sucrose options include Kaedehara Kazuha/ Xilonen for the RES Shred but even Venti/ Lynette are valid options.

Without Ineffa in your party, your best Flins teams will almost certainly involve Aino as the only other Nod-Krai support currently available at the time of writing. While Fischl is generally the best Electro option, Iansan and Ororon are other good options.
