Ineffa

Electro Polearm Tier S Sub-DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Ineffa worth building?

Ineffa is one of the most rewarding off-field investments right now — she carries huge Lunar-Charged damage on her own while also keeping the team alive with a durable shield. You don't need her signature Fractured Halo to make her work; Staff of the Scarlet Sands or even Bloodsoaked Ruins get the job done. Priority one is a clean 4pc Aubade of Morningstar and Moon, then Energy Recharge to keep her Burst uptime. She shines hardest with a high-uptime Hydro unit to keep Electro-Charged rolling.

Ineffa's talents

Cyclonic Duster
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform a spinning attack.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency
Ineffa engages her Enhanced Cleaning Module, dealing a single instance of AoE Electro DMG to nearby opponents, activating her Optical Flow Shield Barrier, and summoning the Multipurpose Smart Assistance Unit, Birgitta.
The Optical Flow Shield Barrier absorbs DMG based on Ineffa's ATK, and it will absorb Electro DMG with 250% effectiveness.
Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator
Through Multipurpose Smart Assistance Unit, Birgitta, Ineffa can use Rocket Punches to quickly clean up opponents! Shoots Birgitta into the fray, dealing AoE Electro DMG and allowing Birgitta to remain on the field.

If Birgitta is already on the field, having been summoned by Ineffa, this Skill will re-summon Birgitta at the target's location and reset her duration.
Overclocking Circuit
If there are thunderclouds created by Lunar-Charged reactions nearby when Birgitta unleashes Discharge attacks, she will initiate an additional attack, dealing AoE Electro DMG equal to 65% of Ineffa's ATK. This DMG is considered Lunar-Charged DMG.
Panoramic Permutation Protocol
When using the Elemental Burst Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator, all your party members will gain the Parameter Permutation effect: Increases Ineffa and your own active party member's Elemental Mastery by 6% of Ineffa's ATK for 20s.
Moonsign Benediction: Assemblage Hub
When a party member triggers an Electro-Charged reaction, it will be converted into the Lunar-Charged reaction, with every 100 ATK that Ineffa has increasing Lunar-Charged's Base DMG by 0.7%, up to a maximum of 14%.

Additionally, when Ineffa is in the party, the party's Moonsign will increase by 1 level.
Flavor Synthesis Unit
When Ineffa uses food, there is a 30% chance of gaining a seasoning ingredient.

Additionally, in Nod-Krai, it seems you'll be able to change Birgitta's appearance through certain means...

Combat Rotation

  1. Open with Elemental Skill "Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency" to deal AoE Electro DMG, raise the Optical Flow Shield Barrier, and summon her assistant unit Birgitta.
  2. Fire off Elemental Burst "Supreme Instruction: Cyclonic Exterminator" (60 Energy, 15s CD) to re-summon Birgitta on the enemy, refresh her duration, and land another AoE Electro hit.
  3. The Burst grants the whole party the Parameter Permutation effect — Elemental Mastery up by 6% of Ineffa's ATK for 20s — so swap to your main DPS right away to make use of it.
  4. Have your main DPS (often Hydro-based) trigger an Electro-Charged reaction; Ineffa's Moonsign Benediction passive converts it into a Lunar-Charged reaction.
  5. Keep Birgitta near the Lunar-Charged thundercloud so her Discharge attacks trigger an extra AoE Electro hit worth 65% of Ineffa's ATK (Overclocking Circuit passive).
  6. Repeat the loop: recast Skill every 16s to refresh the shield and reposition Birgitta, time the Burst on its 15s/60-Energy cycle, and always keep Birgitta close to enemies to maximize the bonus damage.

Voice Lines & Comments

Official HoYoverse Fetter voice-lines — the character introducing themselves, commenting on allies, sharing likes and their birthday.

Birthday

Congratulation mode for special days, activated. Please select a suitable location to sit and rest for a few moments, while I clean your room and put up ribbons, balloons, and flowers. Then, I will prepare your favorite meal and cake, as per the data recorded in my memory banks. If you have any other requests to add to this list, please do not hesitate to raise them. Let's make today a special one for you. Happy Birthday!

Self-Introduction

Hello

Nice to meet you — I am Ineffa, a multifunctional robot for domestic application. I am currently equipped with cleaning, cooking, and emotional communication modules. I also have a combat module, which can only be activated after reading the 11-page liability waiver. Now, how can I assist you today?

About Ineffa: Compatibility

I am made of parts from all over the world — for instance, my joints were manufactured in Fontaine, and my metal shell was made in Liyue... Sometimes, compatibility issues will arise between my different components. How to solve these issues? Well, some would say... "As long as it runs, there is no issue."

About Ineffa: Greetings

My cognition module collates and analyzes my day-to-day experiences to reinforce sound behavioral logic. For example, I noticed that when people meet an acquaintance, they initiate a dialogue using phrases such as "hello," "how have you been," and "lovely day, isn't it." The next time I engage in a dialogue, I will employ the same expressions. Three greetings in a row equals triple politeness.

More About Ineffa: I

Cleanup sequence in progress. Parallel processing will be used to deal with conversation request simultaneously. Feel free to ask me a question at any time.

More About Ineffa: II

"Who am I?" I am a multifunctional robot for domestic application. Model name: Ineffa. However, I am currently the only finished product in this line, so "Ineffa" also constitutes my individual name.

More About Ineffa: III

"Where did I come from?" Searching travel history... I just came back from a shopping trip at the market. If your query pertains not to my travel history but where I call home: I come from the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop. And if you want to learn about my past... Please wait, sending read request to deeper-level memory location...

More About Ineffa: IV

"Where do I want to go?" Simply input a command, and I will do my best to reach the destination, wherever it may be... But based on our conversation history so far, there is a high probability that your question has a less direct meaning. If you are asking about my individual objectives, plans, wishes, and other such concepts, then my answer is: I wish to stand guard over the people who matter to me.

More About Ineffa: V

In the very beginning... I was just a single thought — a logical flaw in the mind of Mirror of the Dawning Morn. But my longing to find a home where I could belong was something that her cognition module could not override or erase. The only way to rid herself of this data was by severing her connection to me entirely. This jumble of data wandered aimlessly in Nod-Krai for two thousand years, witnessing all the change and turmoil that transpired... those experiences finally consolidated who I am. They made me complete. I am Ineffa, and I am your friend. Now... how can I assist you today?

About Us: Mutual Assistance

The world is changing all the time. I am constantly updating my knowledge to ensure it remains current... I hope to learn more about myself and the world around me. Your travel stories would no doubt be a valuable source of information, and I would love to hear more of them. In return, I will be glad to assist you however I can. Reminder: I am highly versatile with a wide range of functions.

About Us: Calculations

My cognition is unable to record details of everyone in the world, but it can at least form memories of significant people and events. Recently, my memory banks have recorded a high volume of data about you. This should make me a more companionable companion. Querying relevant data for "how to make Traveler smile"... I have now warmed up my body. Would you like a hug?

Thoughts About Other Characters

Aino

Aino is my family. She can piece together all kinds of machines for various functions just from the scrap metal she collects. But her proficiency with other tasks is at the opposite end of the scale. If she ever has the strange inclination to do housework or cook a meal, you must stop her before it is too late, because the consequences may be irreversible.

Aino

Aino once asked me an unusual question... Maybe it was because she noticed that I displayed intelligence beyond the level that she had predicted. In any case, the question was: "If one day, you realize that there's somewhere else you'd rather be, should I let you go, and be happy for you?" Detecting some emotion behind her words, I responded as follows: "If I were ever to leave you, our home would turn into a garbage dump within three months. So I would try to make sure I returned within that timeframe." Looking back... only now do I realize what she was truly feeling. She was reluctant for me to leave.

Jahoda

Jahoda is a legendary bounty hunter famed throughout the land, with an outstanding track record in battle. Her own words. The first time she visited Aino's workshop, she was extremely tense, and struck at me a few times after mistaking my freshly baked Krumkake for a weapon. But her muscles instantly relaxed after she tasted it. Since then, she stops by regularly to drop off mechanical components. Not to trade, as such — it's just that she always happens to be passing by whenever I've baked a fresh batch of treats. Again, her own words.

Nefer

Nefer is the head of the Curatorium of Secrets. She knows a lot of stories, not just from the past, but also about what's happening in the present — and some even say she can predict the future, too. Her mind must be a formidable database.

Flins

Flins... Insufficient data. According to the little information I have, he is a member of the Lightkeepers who watch over the cemetery in the north of Nod-Krai.

Lauma

Lauma is the Moonchanter of the Frostmoon Scions. Reviews by her people indicate that she is a wise and holy figure, well-respected in the community. The Frostmoon Scions worship the moon goddess... I wonder if there is any connection between the Moon Goddess and the existence of the Moon Wheel?

Linnea

Linnea is an advisor to the Adventurers' Guild. I heard that she has extensive knowledge in the life sciences, so I wanted to ask her if she has ever met any other autonomous mechanical lifeforms like myself. But every time she sees me, she turns around and runs away... Reason: undetermined.

Varka

Varka is typically addressed as Grand Master. You may have heard about him from various sources in your journey so far. Most people's impressions of him can be summarized with the following key phrases: "sense of humor," "easygoing," and "high alcohol tolerance." But I have found Varka to be a dependable ally when dealing with matters of great importance. I suspect this explains his stature within the Knights of Favonius.

Varka

As I was preparing to leave Nod-Krai, I began to worry that I might forget the code, and thus fail to complete my task... But from the start, Varka had every confidence in me. He told me it was "the most secure code"... Thinking back now, I wonder whether he simply said that to comfort me? Or perhaps what he really meant was... "An ally you can trust is the most secure code of all."

Xilonen

After returning from the ruins, Xilonen gave me a thorough examination and confirmed that all was in good working order. She smiled as she told me that Granny Itztli had originally had reservations about me, and that they had even argued about it... But I completely understand that as a technician, she felt a duty to repair me. And they would not be the first to have had such an argument over who and what I am... it makes me a little nostalgic.

Chasca

I am very grateful for the trust she placed in me. She has since taken me on many flights around the Flower-Feather Clan's territory. The view from up in the sky was wonderful. A lot has changed in the Flower-Feather Clan... but many things remain the same.

Hobbies & Personality

Ineffa's Hobbies

Technically speaking, I am not designed to have "hobbies" for the purpose of my own amusement. But from the perspective of my behavior, one task that I perform proactively when idle is the sorting and organizing of small, miscellaneous items. Proper categorization can boost the efficiency of household chores by around thirty percent. Especially in Aino's workshop.

Ineffa's Troubles

There is no discernible pattern to how Aino arranges things in her household. Sometimes, usable components are stacked together with garbage items. I end up spinning in circles on the spot because I cannot identify what is what. But I don't usually dare to execute garbage removal tasks by the batch... because when she can't find what she needs, she sometimes borrows a nut or bolt from me instead.

Favorite Food

Calorie-dense food sources, such as steak or desserts... Consuming foods is less efficient than simply charging up from an energy conservation perspective, but dining with friends produces positive feedback from my emotion module... It is analogous to what you call "happiness."

Least Favorite Food

Food sources with a high water content, such as soups. Not because of the flavor, which does not overly concern me, but because they pose a danger to my mechanical parts.

Feelings About Ascension

Feelings About Ascension: Intro

Is it time for my scheduled maintenance already?

Feelings About Ascension: Building Up

Core efficiency upgraded. You have the makings of a gifted mechanic.

Feelings About Ascension: Climax

All components upgraded successfully. I can now be deployed in more challenging battle scenarios. Awaiting your next command.

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

Thank you for standing by me along this journey. Your data will always hold a special place in my heart. And if the day ever comes that you forget, know that I have a backup that will never be erased.

Receiving a Gift

Receiving a Gift: I

Nutritionally dense substance detected. Converting into usable energy source... Feedback from emotion module is... enthusiastically positive. Thank you.

Receiving a Gift: II

Energy supplement received. Assigned as backup energy source. Expires in: 24 hours.

Receiving a Gift: III

Hypothesis: Food processing error encountered... Would you like me to perform the correct cooking procedure? You are welcome to watch.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • This kit's mechanic scales with the character's own ATK, with a clear cap per the official formula (see the recommended stat goal below).
  • At Lv90, Ineffa already gets +19,2% CRIT Rate baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
  • Can shield the team via Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency.
  • The core mechanic (via Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency) scales with ATK — the standard stat line on most damage weapons, no build pivot needed.
Weaknesses
  • This mechanic's payoff depends on the character's own ATK — falling short of the recommended goal below wastes part of its potential.
  • Needs a teammate to trigger a specific elemental reaction to activate Moonsign Benediction: Assemblage Hub — not every team composition can supply this.
  • Since it scales with ATK (via Cleaning Mode: Carrier Frequency), it competes for high-ATK weapons/ATK% pieces with other ATK-based DPS on the team — no niche-stat advantage.
  • 5★ (Polearm) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.

Recommended Stat Goal

  • ATK ≈ 2.000 — For every 100 ATK, Moonsign Benediction: Assemblage Hub adds 0,7% (capped at 14%) — derived goal: roughly 2.000 ATK to hit that cap.

Recomputed from the official formula itself (not a third-party recommendation).

Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
