  2. Elemental Burst

Ineffa has a wide range of viable weapon options in this build, with her Signature weapon Fractured Halo, being her best polearm and will likely increase in value as more Electro-Charged characters are added. Other good options include a range of viable 5-Star stat sticks you can build, Deathmatch and Ballad of the Fjords. Alternatively, Favonius Lance is always a solid support option for team Energy Recharge.

None of the current artifact build options are great for Ineffa, and with Lunar-Charged being a 6.0 mechanic, there is a very good chance of having a more functional artifact set for Ineffa in 6.0. So invest wisely at the moment. At the moment it is recommended to simply build Ineffa with Gilded Dreams and Tenacity of the Millelith while holding off on investing heavily.

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

  • HP: 18,000 - 20,000
  • ATK: 1900 - 2300
  • Elemental Mastery: 100 - 200
  • Energy Recharge: 130 - 160%
  • CRIT Rate: 75 - 85%
  • CRIT DMG: 150 - 180%

Ineffa's Best Team Compositions

Ineffa is a relatively versatile Electro unit capable of supporting a range of teams. That being said, Ineffa does need at least one Hydro character for elemental reactions to activate their A1 Overclocking Circuit to enable Lunar/Electro-Charged in teams. This does not need to happen super regularly as the thunderclouds stay on-field for around 5 seconds.

5.1.

Taser Teams With Ineffa

Driver Sub DPS Support Sub DPS
Ifa Ororon Furina Ineffa
Yumemizuki Mizuki Yelan Furina Ineffa

Being an Lunar/Electro-Charged character, Ineffa is of course perfect for Taser teams. Generally utilising Anemo drivers such as Ifa, Yumemizuki Mizuki and Sucrose for high damage.

5.2.

Neuvillette & Ineffa Teams

Main DPS Support Support Sub DPS
Neuvillette Kaedehara Kazuha Furina Ineffa

Ineffa is a great boost to Neuvillette teams, being able to provide shielding for interruptions at C0, high damage and also allows Neuvillette to maintain a stack of Heir to the Ancient Sea's Authority. That being said, while Ineffa is Neuvillette's best C0 team at the time of writing this, as a Hypercarry, she does not scale as good with higher investment into Furina or Neuvillette.

5.3.

Overvape Ineffa

Main DPS Sub DPS Sub DPS Support
Mavuika Ineffa Yelan Iansan
Arlecchino Ineffa Yelan Bennett

Overvape teams can work really well with Ineffa due to her not requiring constant uptime on reactions to maintain Overclocking Circuit as long as enough reactions are taking place to keep the cloud up you're good!

5.4.

Ineffa and Electro DPS Teams

Main DPS Sub DPS Support Sub DPS
Clorinde Yelan Kaedehara Kazuha Ineffa
Varesa Furina Xilonen Ineffa

Electro Main DPS such as Clorinde, Varesa and even Raiden Shogun can benefit from what Ineffa brings to the party and generally improves this archetype although Overloaded-variants will often perform better still.

5.5.

Hyperbloom Ineffa

Main DPS Sub DPS Sub DPS Sub DPS
Alhaitham Ineffa Xingqiu Ororon

Ineffa can be a great shielder/source of Electro DMG for Hyperbloom teams especially with Alhaitham allowing reactions to take place. Double Hydro or Electro variants can be played depending on rotation, available characters and preferences.

6.5.

Ineffa's Constellations

Ineffa's C2 Support Cleaning Module is generally the one to aim for if you are looking for higher investment. C3-5 generally does not offer too much so after C2 increased vertical investment tends to come in the form of weapons or C6.

C2 Support Cleaning Module After the Elemental Burst Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator hits opponents, it will inflict the Punishment Edict status on one of those hit opponents: After a brief delay, or when this opponent is defeated, nearby opponents will take AoE Electro DMG equal to 300% of Ineffa's ATK. This DMG is considered Lunar-Charged DMG.
Additionally, when the Elemental Burst Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator is unleashed, nearby party members will gain Optical Flow Shield Barriers.
C3 Enhanced Emotion Emulator Increases the Level of Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
