Ifa, a 4-star Anemo Support/Sub-DPS in Genshin Impact 5.6 version. Using a pistol-shaped catalyst, he deploys combat allies for AoE damage while boosting team utility via Anemo vortex crowd control and elemental buffs.
This guide explores his optimal weapon options, artifact setups, and team compositions to maximize his beast-master prowess.
▍Elemental Reactions & Role
Elemental Focus: As an Anemo Catalyst user, Ifa excels at triggering Swirl reactions, amplifying team elemental damage through Viridescent Venerer (VV)'s resistance shred.
1. Optimal Reactions:
- Electro-Charged (Hydro + Electro): Consistent Swirl damage and crowd control.
- Melt/Vaporize: Pair with Pyro/Hydro DPS for amplified reactions.
- Aggravate/Spread: Synergizes with Dendro-Electro teams for high damage ceilings.
2. Role
- Likely a sub-DPS/support with crowd control or healing capabilities
- (leaked as a Saurian veterinarian).
▍Weapon Recommendations
Prioritize Energy Recharge or Elemental Mastery to enhance Swirl and support utility:
1. Options 4★
- Sacrificial Fragments (EM boost + skill reset for consistent Swirl).
- Favonius Codex (Energy Recharge + particle generation).
- Oathsworn Eye (Event weapon; boosts ATK and Energy).
2. Option 3★
- Magic Guide (EM boost for early-game).
▍Artifact Sets
1. Best-in-Slot
- 4pc Viridescent Venerer (Anemo RES shred + Swirl damage).
- 2pc VV + 2pc Song of Days Past (Healing Bonus + Swirl synergy)
2. Stats Priority
- Sands: Energy Recharge/Elemental Mastery.
- Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus.
- Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG (sub-DPS) or Healing Bonus (support).
- Substats: Energy Recharge > Elemental Mastery > CRIT.
▍Talent Priority
1. Core Skills
- Elemental Skill (E): Primarily generates energy particles and triggers Swirl reactions. It is recommended to prioritize upgrading this skill to Level.
- Elemental Burst (Q): Provides crowd control (grouping enemies) and infuses additional elemental damage. Secondary priority for upgrades (Level 8 is sufficient).
Ps. Normal Attack (no need to upgrade for non-DPS roles).
▍Team Compositions
1. Ifa + Raiden Shogun/Yae Miko + Xingqiu/Yelan + Kuki Shinobu
(Electro-Charged Swirl Team)
Ifa triggers Electro-Charged by swirling Hydro and Electro simultaneously, while Kuki Shinobu provides healing and Hyperbloom synergy.
2. Ifa + Nahida + Fischl + Zhongli（Aggravate Quickswap Team）
Nahida applies Dendro for Aggravate triggers, Fischl enables Electro application, and Ifa spreads Dendro/Electro while reducing enemy RES.
3. Ifa + Kaedehara Kazuha/Wanderer + Bennett + Xiangling
（Anemo Support Specialist Team）
Double Anemo Resonance accelerates energy recharge. Ifa assists with crowd control and Anemo DMG boost, while the "National Duo" (Bennett+Xiangling) delivers sustained Pyro DMG1.
Grouping optimizes Ayaka's Burst coverage, while Double Cryo resonance and Shenhe's DMG buffs synergize with resistance shred.
▍Key Constellations & Material Preparation
- C1: Optimizes Energy Recharge rotation, alleviating Energy Recharge pressure.
- C2: Boosts teamwide Swirl and Electro-Charged DMG cap (requires stacking Night Soul stacks).
▍Conclusion
When building Ifa as a support, prioritize Energy Recharge (ER) ≥180% and Elemental Mastery (EM) ≥800 over CRIT Rate/DMG substats. Pre-farm the Viridescent Venerer (4pc) artifact set for Anemo RES shred and stockpile Chaos Core/Device/Circuit materials for weapon ascension.
