Genshin Impact Ineffa: Interesting Details and Trivia

In Genshin Impact, there is a character who is extremely strong and exceptionally powerful in combat, wears armor yet often does cleaning, has short hair and a three-character name, and everyone seeks her out when in need. Her name is "Ineffa." Today, let us explore some lesser-known facts about Ineffa together!

1. Genshin Impact Ineffa: Basic Information

Ineffa, an all-purpose household robot, hails from the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop in Nod-Krai. Her body is exceptionally unique: equipped with a Natlan ancient dragon's Secret Source core, Fontaine's mechanical joints, Liyue's mechanical casing, and Mondstadt's maid headwear. In fact, her attire subtly hints at her origins in Natlan: besides the Secret Source core on her chest, her ears and headwear also relate to ancient dragon technology. Perhaps this is because when Aino found the core, she also brought back and disassembled these components together.

Moreover, these ears rotate slightly when triggering idle animations and Elemental Skills. So could this action indicate mode switching? What would happen if she rotated her hand?

2. Genshin Impact Ineffa: Skill Effects

2.1 Normal Attack

Ineffa's Normal Attack "Cyclonic Duster." At the start, Ineffa uses her weapon, but after multiple attacks, her weapon transforms into a vacuum cleaner. After several attacks, Ineffa even makes sound effects for the vacuum cleaner. It's truly adorable!

2.2 Elemental Skill

Additionally, during Normal Attacks and when activating her Elemental Skill, Ineffa's eyes glow with blue light-perhaps what we call "battle mode."

2.3 Elemental Burst

After activating her Elemental Burst, a small broom pixel animation appears on the barrier from her Elemental Skill, indicating Ineffa has entered cleaning mode. Based on the text description beneath the skill, activating the barrier shield might be because Aino always tries to stop Ineffa from cleaning.

Additionally, Ineffa's small robot "Birgitta" can float completely in the air and automatically teleport to the nearest enemies and creatures. This feature is exceptionally useful for hunting-no more worrying about failing to catch wild boars! Even flying enemies are no exception; Birgitta will instantly teleport beside them. Moreover, after summoning Birgitta and switching Ineffa to the background, Birgitta's display screen will show Ineffa's avatar, as if Ineffa has taken control of the small robot. Different expressions accompany its attacks, making it truly adorable. Which Traveler wouldn’t want this adorable Birgitta robot?

Furthermore, Ineffa's skill descriptions contain numerous foreshadowings. For instance, both the introduction of Birgitta and her passive talent mention, "In Nod-Krai, Birgitta's appearance may be altered," and "Further blessings may follow the new moon's rise..."

As is well known, the entire Nod-Krai version revolves around the theme of the "moon." As a pivotal character bridging the storyline to Nod-Krai, Ineffa naturally introduces the moon-themed combat system of Nod-Krai. This is manifested through the Lunar-Charged elemental reaction effect. However, it may not be limited to Lunar-Charged; in the future, there could potentially be more elemental reactions like "Lunar-Vaporize" or "Lunar-Freeze."

Moreover, it is evident that as the storyline progresses, skills will be upgraded, as hinted by the key phrase in the skill description: "the new moon's rise..." Previously, the "Song of the Welkin Moon" webpage repeatedly emphasized the "rising new moon," which will be a major event in Nod-Krai, affecting the entire region and even the structure of Teyvat. Perhaps Nod-Krai's character system will undergo further changes due to this "new moon."

3. Genshin Impact Ineffa: "Vanilla Planifolia" Constellation

In reality, vanilla planifolia originates from the Americas. In the game, vanilla is also a crop cultivated by ancient Natlan people, echoing Ineffa's origin in Natlan. Vanilla grows in the deep, dim forests, with neither sturdy trunks nor extensive root systems. It can only cling to other trees, silently thriving under scattered sunlight filtering through the canopy gaps.

Interestingly, two thousand years ago when she departed, Lianca adorned Ineffa with vanilla. That flower long withered during her journey, and vanilla gradually vanished from Natlan. Yet two millennia later, as Ineffa broke free from her destined path, she gained a human fate. A new "vanilla" quietly bloomed.

As a robot and a fragment of the Sovereign Lord "Mirror of the Dawning Morn," Ineffa was never meant to have a constellation. She was predetermined programming, the will of a dragon lord-an entity without a soul or self, a core encased in human form. But when she destroyed her own core, severed her past, and shed the identity of "Paradox," she found her true self. Upon affirming her identity as Ineffa and lighting her Moon Wheel, a constellation rose in the sky.

Constellations are the fate of Vision bearers. The Moon Wheel and Vision-or rather, the Moon Wheel-could be seen as a more primordial Vision. Both require their owner to possess a soul and desires. Ineffa lit her Moon Wheel through her own will and aspirations, truly gaining a human fate. Her "vanilla" reached skyward the moment she ceased being part of another. She is Ineffa-Aino's family.

Although Natlan was Ineffa's starting point, it is not her final destination. That concludes all the lesser-known details about Ineffa. After reading this, you will surely understand and love Ineffa even more! Also, don't miss out on more articles and Genshin Impact merchandise on our site!
