Ineffa Rolls Into Genshin Impact Like a Thunderstorm

The latest addition to the last character of a version is here. Ineffa, Genshin’s first true “robot”. If you are wondering why she is a robot, but Raiden Shogun and Wanderer are both “puppets”, it’s because robot is Czech in origin, and Ineffa, being from Nod Krai, takes inspiration from that region. In terms of gameplay, Ineffa is a well-crafted character and is highly likely to be very useful later down the line. This is a trait that she shares with Kazuha, Yelan, Baizhu, and Emilie. Don’t sleep on the last 5-Stars of a version.

How Does Ineffa Work

Ineffa is a 5-Star Electro Polearm Sub-DPS who brings with her a new Elemental Reaction: Lunar-Charged.

Upgraded Fischl

Ineffa’s main gameplay is rather similar to Fischl’s. Her Skill is a long-lasting summon (Birgitta) that deals continuous Electro damage while up, and her Burst resets Birgitta’s duration (or summons Birgitta if it’s not already on the field). Her Burst also deals a decent amount of upfront damage, but that’s not important.

The upgrade to Fischl is that, unlike the stationary Oz, Birgitta will move towards enemies, so you don’t have to worry about spacing as much. Another difference is that using Ineffa’s Skill also creates an Electro Shield, which gives her some level of sustain utility.

New Reaction, Who This?

The main draw of Ineffa is early access to the Lunar-Charged reaction, which seems to be a special type of Elemental Reaction from Nod Krai. Whereas normal Electro-Charged is a DoT that arcs between nearby enemies, Lunar-Charged summons a storm cloud that periodically fires lightning bolts at enemies who are affected by both Hydro and Electro.

Also, unlike Electro-Charged, whose damage is based on the EM of the character triggering it, Lunar-Charged’s damage is based on the combined EM of all characters involved in the reaction. It can also CRIT (where Electro-Charged can) and, if the Lunar-Charged damage is direct (such as, if a character’s Skill says “This damage is considered Lunar-Charged damage”), then it will also take into account the ATK of the character.
