More about Ineffa

Ineffa's Elemental Skill creates a shield and summons a robot (Image via HoYoverse)

Ineffa is a 5-star Electro character from Nod-Krai, and her weapon type is Polearm. Her kit will introduce a new Elemental reaction called the Lunar-Charged, which is a variation of Electro-Charged, and can trigger critical hits. When Ineffa is in the party, all the Electro-Charged reactions triggered by her party members will convert to Lunar-Charged reactions.

After Ineffa uses her Elemental Skill, she creates a shield and summons a robot that periodically deals AoE Electro DMG, making her a good off-field damage dealer. When she casts her Elemental Burst, she launches her robot at her enemies to deal AoE Electro DMG. Furthermore, after dealing the damage, her robot stays on the field to continue dealing damage at intervals.

Ineffa's kit looks pretty interesting, and the new Lunar-Charged could become a popular reaction in the upcoming Genshin Impact updates.
