The latest beta build for Genshin Impact has introduced significant changes to the character Ineffa. Her abilities have been weakened, while a newly enhanced Elemental Reaction called Lunar-Charged has been added.
As the game gears up to transition from Natlan with Version 5.8, players can expect the debut of a permanent Summer Event zone, alongside a prologue for the next Archon Quest Chapter. Ineffa is a 5-Star Electro Polearm character from Nod-Krai and plays a crucial role in connecting various storylines within the game.
Though Ineffa does not belong to prominent groups such as the Hexenzirkel, Knights of Favonius, or the Fatui Harbingers, she will introduce players to the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop. The character shares thematic elements with figures like Wanderer and Albedo, while her gameplay is similar to Emilie and Fischl.
In terms of balance, recent updates to Ineffa’s abilities have reduced her personal damage output, though her overall contribution to team dynamics is expected to remain stable. The nerf to her Elemental Skill is notable, but the damage multipliers for the Lunar-Charged reaction have been buffed.
This change positions Lunar-Charged as a clear upgrade over Electro-Charged, which should foster new team compositions in the game. Looking ahead, players are advised to plan their character pulls strategically.
Ineffa is anticipated to pair effectively with upcoming characters, notably a 5-Star Geo female who may introduce Lunar-Crystallize. Meanwhile, those with Electro or Hydro hypercarries will benefit from including Ineffa in their teams.
As Genshin Impact approaches its next update scheduled for July 30, 2025, players are encouraged to explore the expansive world of Teyvat, filled with elemental mysteries and diverse allies.
