neffa is a new 5-star Electro character coming in the Genshin Impact 5.8 update. She is a maid robot and the first playable character we will meet from Nod-Krai. While Nod-Krai is set to release in Genshin Impact 6.0, players can learn some things about the region through Ineffa’s voice lines and character kit.
Ineffa is the first Genshin Impact character to use Lunar reactions. With her in your party, normal Electro-Charged reactions become Lunar-Charged. Unlike regular Electro-Charged reactions, Lunar Electro-Charged can critically hit and consider the stats of all characters involved in the reaction. To put it simply, Ineffa makes Electro-Charged reactions stronger and is a great pull for players interested in reaction-based gameplay.
Like every character, Ineffa needs good weapons to perform well in Genshin Impact. Since she is a polearm user, there are plenty of good options. Below, we’ve discussed the best weapons for Ineffa in Genshin Impact, including options for both P2W and F2P players.
What Are the Best Weapons for Ineffa in Genshin Impact?
Ineffa has many weapon options in Genshin Impact. With polearm characters being among the more popular types, HoYoverse has released many useful polearms over the years. Let’s start with the best 5-star polearms for Ineffa:
Best 5-Star Ineffa Weapons in Genshin Impact
1) Fractured Halo
Without question, Fractured Halo is the best-in-slot weapon for Ineffa in Genshin Impact. Since it’s her signature weapon, this chainsaw-lookalike polearm has a tailor-made passive for none other than Ineffa. Fractured Halo gives a 20% ATK boost when Ineffa uses her skill or burst. Moreover, upon creating a shield, the weapon increases all Lunar-Charged damage by 40%.
All of this is just the passive. We’re yet to talk about weapon stats. Fractured Halo comes with a decent base ATK of 608 and 66.8% Crit DMG as its secondary stat. Since Lunar Electro-Charged can crit, Crit DMG isn’t a wasted stat for Ineffa.
Outside of Ineffa, Fractured Halo can be a good stat stick and is also useful for buffing Lunar-Charged DPS characters by using a different polearm character who can make shields. Other than Ineffa, that’s just Zhongli and Thoma.
2) Staff of the Scarlet Sands
The Staff of the Scarlet Sands is arguably not one of the best polearms in Genshin Impact (sorry, Cyno fans), but in Ineffa’s case, it can come in clutch. Since Lunar Electro-Charged reactions consider EM, ATK, and Crit stats, the Staff becomes a viable option. It converts EM from Ineffa’s artifacts to ATK% and provides a massive 44.1% Crit Rate. It does have a low base ATK of 542, but that’s not a huge drawback for reactions. You still need ATK for her Moonsign Benediction: Assemblage Hub passive.
3) Symphonist of Scents
The third-best 5-star weapon for Ineffa is Symphonist of Scents, Escoffier’s signature weapon. Even if Ineffa can’t fully benefit from its passive, the high base ATK of 608 along with 66.8% Crit DMG automatically makes it a strong weapon for her. The passive gives an unconditional 12% ATK boost and another 12% when she goes off-field. If you have this polearm and nobody to use it on, feel free to give it to the maid robot.
4) Calamity Queller
Calamity Queller is the best polearm for Ineffa if you want to maximize her Moonsign Benediction: Assemblage Hub passive, which boosts her Lunar-Charged DMG. As this passive scales with ATK%, you want as much ATK on her as possible. Calamity Queller comes with the highest base ATK of 741 and 16.5% ATK as its secondary stat.
On top of that, it gives a 12% DMG boost and even more ATK% after Ineffa uses her skill and goes off-field. Since Ineffa isn’t an on-field DPS, this works perfectly.
These were the top 5-star polearms for Ineffa in Genshin Impact. If you have none of them, feel free to use the following weapons:
- Staff of Homa: Decent stat stick. Gives an ATK buff based on Ineffa’s HP.
- Lumidouce Elegy: Only good as a stat stick.
- Primordial Jade Winged-Spear: Good stat stick with high base ATK.
- Skyward Spine: Standard weapon with high base ATK. Gives Energy Recharge for smoother rotations.
Best 4-Star Ineffa Weapons in Genshin Impact
We’re now done with the best 5-star polearms. Let’s look at the best 4-star options:
1) Ballad of the Fjords
The battle pass polearm, Ballad of the Fjords, is the best 4-star weapon for Ineffa. It has a decent base ATK of 510 and 27.6% Crit Rate as its secondary stat. The best thing is its passive: when there are three different elemental types in your team, Ineffa gains 120 Elemental Mastery, very useful for Lunar Electro-Charged reactions. This condition is easy to meet, as her best teams often include Anemo, Hydro, and Electro.
2) Deathmatch
Unfortunately for F2P players, the second-best 4-star polearm is also a battle pass weapon—Deathmatch. It has a low base ATK and high Crit Rate for a 4-star. The passive gives a 16% or 24% ATK buff depending on how many enemies you’re fighting.
3) Missive Windspear
Is Missive Windspear a good weapon for Ineffa? The answer is a big yes! Missive Windspear is a completely free-to-play option and should be available to most players who got it from its limited-time event. At Refinement Rank 5, it increases Ineffa’s ATK by 24% and Elemental Mastery by 96 upon triggering a reaction. It comes with a base ATK of 510 and 41.3% ATK as its secondary stat.
4) Kitain Cross Spear
If you missed the event with Missive Windspear, your next best option is the craftable Kitain Cross Spear. This 4-star Inazuman weapon comes with a high base ATK of 565 and 110 Elemental Mastery as its secondary stat. The passive provides an Elemental DMG Bonus and helps with Energy Recharge.
If you don’t have any of the 4-star weapons mentioned above, then these can be your last options:
- Tamayuratei no Ohanashi: Free event weapon with Energy Recharge and 40% ATK.
- Favonius Lance: Ineffa doesn’t need tons of energy herself, but this can help her teammates by generating more energy particles.
