Ifa build guide · GenGuru: Your guru for Genshin Impact

Overview

Anemo reaction support
Healer

Ifa is a catalyst user who rides on Cacucu in the Nightsoul's Blessing state. While hovering, his Normal Attacks become Supporting Fire, firing Tonicshots that deal Anemo damage and heal the whole party. His burst pulls enemies together and marks those affected by Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro. His real value is the Field Medic's Vision passive: it turns the party's Nightsoul points into Rescue Essentials, which raise the Swirl, Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged damage of every nearby party member.

Build him almost entirely for Elemental Mastery. It raises his Swirl damage and the healing from his Tonicshots, so you do not need to chase crits. A little Energy Recharge helps keep his burst ready, and Viridescent Venerer lets him lower enemy resistance for the team.

Weapons

Best first. Every catalyst on this list links to its page.

Sunny Morning Sleep-In ★★★★★
A very good fit. It has Elemental Mastery on the stat line and grants even more after he triggers Swirl, which he does constantly.
A Thousand Floating Dreams ★★★★★
Elemental Mastery on the stat line plus a bonus that depends on the elements in your party. Strong in reaction teams.
Wandering Evenstar ★★★★
The best 4-star for him. Elemental Mastery on the stat line, and its passive shares some ATK with the team.
Sacrificial Fragments ★★★★
A large Elemental Mastery stat line. Its skill reset adds little for him, so treat it as a stat stick if you already own it.
Magic Guide ★★★
A 3-star that still carries a good amount of Elemental Mastery. A fine free choice while you look for something better.

Artifact sets

Viridescent Venerer 4-piece
The standard choice. It boosts his Swirl damage and lowers enemy resistance to the swirled element, which helps every damage dealer in the team.
Gilded Dreams + Wanderer's Troupe 2-piece each
Pure Elemental Mastery for when another Anemo character already wears Viridescent Venerer.

Teams

Electro-Charged Swirl
- Ifa
- Fischl
- Xingqiu
- Sucrose
Fischl and Xingqiu keep Electro and Hydro on enemies from off the field, while Ifa and Sucrose swirl both elements. Easy to build with 4-star characters.
Lunar-Charged
- Ifa
- Flins
- Ineffa
- Aino
Rescue Essentials also raise Lunar-Charged damage, and his burst groups enemies so more of them are hit. He heals the team while doing it.
Chasca Nightsoul
- Ifa
- Chasca
- Ororon
- Furina
A Natlan line-up where Ifa takes the healer slot. His steady healing keeps Furina's buff climbing, and Nightsoul Bursts from the team raise his Elemental Mastery.

Tips

Rescue Essentials count Nightsoul points across the whole party, so he is stronger next to other Natlan characters who build up Nightsoul points.
Holding the skill button while hovering starts a plunge. Let go before he lands if you want to keep the Nightsoul's Blessing state going.
Aim his burst at enemies already carrying Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro so the Sedation Mark is applied.
His healing comes from attacking. If the team needs a heal, swap to him and fire a few Tonicshots.

Talents

Normal Attack Rite of Dispelling Winds

Normal Attack Performs up to 3 attacks, dealing Anemo DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and fires off a shot, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. Plunging Attack Plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents along the path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.

Elemental Skill Airborne Disease Prevention

It's time for the real bash bros to step up! Ifa calls Cacucu in as backup. After using this skill, Ifa gains 80 Nightsoul points and enters the **Nightsoul's Blessing** state. In the Nightsoul's Blessing state, Ifa will hover with Cacucu's help. When he uses Normal Attacks in this state, he will use different kinds of **Supporting Fire** depending on whether you Tap or Hold, firing Tonicshots that are capable of healing all party members. Additionally, Holding the Elemental Skill Airborne Disease Prevention while Ifa is in Nightsoul's Blessing will cause him to use a Nightsoul-aligned Plunging Attack. Letting go of the skill button will interrupt this Plunging Attack to maintain his hover. If Ifa lands due to this Plunging Attack, his Nightsoul's Blessing state will end.

Elemental Burst Compound Sedation Field

Fires a Therapeutic Sedative at a (temporarily aggressive) opponent. The sedative will explode on impact, creating a restraining wind current that pulls nearby objects and opponents in while dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Anemo DMG. When the Therapeutic Sedative hits an opponent affected by Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will apply a **Sedation Mark** to them.

Passive talent Field Medic's Vision

When Ifa is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, every 1 Nightsoul point out of the current total in his entire party will grant him 1 **Rescue Essentials** point. Rescue Essentials will increase the Swirl, Stellar Swirl, Electro-Charged, and Lunar-Charged reaction DMG dealt by nearby party members.

Passive talent Mutual Aid Agreement

When nearby party members trigger Nightsoul Bursts, Ifa's Elemental Mastery increases by 80 for 10s.

Passive talent Night Realm's Gift: Focused Emergency Rescue

After his Nightsoul points are exhausted, Ifa will switch to consuming Phlogiston to maintain his Nightsoul's Blessing. While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, he can use Nightsoul Transmission: Ifa. When the active character is a certain height in the air, the following will occur when switching to Ifa: Ifa will enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and gain 32 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own team.

Passive talent Tactical Warm Compress Bandaging

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, when the current active party member or indwelt saurian has less than 40% HP, Ifa will consume 10 Phlogiston and restore 40% of their HP. This effect can trigger once every 10s, and does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss.

Constellations

C1 Vitiferous Elixir's Concoction

When **Supporting Fire** hits an opponent, it will restore 6 Energy for Ifa. One such Energy restoration can be triggered once every 8s.

C2 Guiding Spirit of Ballistic Prayer

When Ifa is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, every Nightsoul point the party has above a total of 60 will grant Ifa 4 additional **Rescue Essentials** points. Additionally, Ifa's Rescue Essentials limit is increased by 50. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent **Field Medic's Vision**.

C3 Rebuttal in Negotiations With the Night

Increases the Level of **Airborne Disease Prevention** by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C5 Vow of Universal Coexistence

Increases the Level of **Compound Sedation Field** by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C6 Oath on a Feathered Knot

When Ifa uses the Hold version of his **Supporting Fire**, there is a 50% chance that he will fire an additional Tonicshot that deals 120% of Ifa's ATK as Anemo DMG. This DMG is considered Normal Attack DMG. Additionally, when he is not in combat, Ifa will consume 20% less Nightsoul points and Phlogiston in his Nightsoul's Blessing state.
