Genshin Impact: Ifa Best Build Guide

Ifa is the newest 4-star unit to join the Genshin Impact roster. He is an Anemo Catalyst user whose main purpose is to swirl elements to increase the team’s overall damage. In this guide, we’ll go over a quick overview of what Ifa does and how you can build him to get the most out of this character.

Ifa Overview

	Name:	Ifa
	Constellation:	Catena Opele
	Rarity:	4-star
	Element:	Anemo
	Weapon:	Catalyst
	VA	Terashima Junta (JP) Jonny Loquasto (EN)

Ifa is the 7th Anemo Catalyst user in the game, and to be honest, he doesn’t really add that much diversity to the already cemented Swirl teams. He has decent swirl capability, which is mostly catered towards Electro-Charge teams, but apart from that, he is mediocre. The only thing that makes him stand out is his exploration mechanic that allows him to fly, but even that is not something that is factored into combat and is more catered towards exploration.

All in all, Ifa seems like a mediocre unit who is catered towards Electro-Charge teams, and his most useful feature is his exploration ability. Having said that, we will still try to bring out as much of this unit’s potential as possible!

Ifa Best Weapon

Rank	W-Engine	Effect
1	Sunny Morning Sleep-In	Elemental Mastery increases by 120 for 6s after triggering Swirl. Elemental Mastery increases by 96 for 9s after the wielder's Elemental Skill hits an opponent. Elemental Mastery increases by 32 for 30s after the wielder's Elemental Burst hits an opponent.
2	A Thousand Floating Dreams	Party members other than the equipping character will provide the equipping character with buffs based on whether their Elemental Type is the same as the latter or not. If their Elemental Types are the same, increase Elemental Mastery by 32. If not, increase the equipping character's DMG Bonus from their Elemental Type by 10%. Each of the aforementioned effects can have up to 3 stacks. Additionally, all nearby party members other than the equipping character will have their Elemental Mastery increased by 40. Multiple such effects from multiple such weapons can stack.

3	Mappa Mare	Triggering an Elemental reaction grants a 8% Elemental DMG Bonus for 10s. Max 2 stacks.

When weapons are concerned, Ifa tends to favor weapons that increase his Elemental Mastery to benefit his swirls; as such, the Sunny Morning Sleep-In is clearly the best choice in this scenario, with the A Thousand Floating Dreams coming in a close second and the Mappa Mare coming in third for his F2P option.

Ifa Best Artifact Sets

All Anemo Swirlers benefit greatly from the 2- and 4-piece effects of the Viridescent Venerer set, and Ifa is no different. The Viridescent Venerer is the set you want to farm, and stack him with as much Elemental Mastery as possible.

Skill Priority

Finally, when it comes to skills, you want to first aim to max his Elemental Skill and then his Elemental Burst, and lastly his Basic Attack.
