Back to All Characters

The developers at Genshin Impact are hyping the release of Nod-Krai by introducing one of the region's characters a little early, much like they did with Kazuha in Version 1.6. This time around, Ineffa is the Nod-Krai representative. She's an Electro polearm character from Nod-Krai that has found her way to Natlan.

Originally created by Aino at the Clink-Clank Krumkake Workshop, Ineffa is actually a robot. She also introduces the new Lunar-Charged Reaction to the game, which functions a little differently from traditional elemental reactions.

Where to Find All of Ineffa's Materials

Gemstones - Where to Find Vajrada Amethyst

Like all Electro characters, Ineffa uses Vajrada Amethyst in her ascension. It can be harvested from boss rewards, specifically these bosses:

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when infused with Electro!

Genshin Impact's Electro characters will need some Vajrada Amethyst to ascend. Here's where it can be found.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Glowing Hornshroom

Formerly only used by Ororon, Glowing Hornshrooms are now used by Ineffa as well. These strange fungi can only be found in Natlan, specifically around the Masters of the Night-Wind.

For a full guide to Glowing Hornshroom locations and farming routes, check out this guide:

Boss Drop - How to Get Secret Source Airflow Accumulator

The Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device is a boss in Natlan, located south of the Collective of Plenty on an island off the coast of the volcano. This boss is the one that you need Cryo characters to take down easily.

It drops the Secret Source Airflow Accumulator item, which is used in Ineffa's ascension. Both Dahlia and Escoffier use this item as well, meaning all three characters that use it as of Ineffa's release are originally from other regions, not Natlan.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Sauroform Tribal Warrior Whistles

Sauroform Tribal Warriors Whistles - Genshin Impact

Found everywhere in Natlan, Sauroform Tribal Warriors are the residents of the Pyro nation who can be challenged to a skirmish. When defeated, they drop whistles, which Ineffa needs for her ascension and talent upgrades. At higher levels, they can drop better quality whistles:

There are so many of these warriors all over Natlan that it should be too hard to find them, but if you're looking for a farming route, check out this guide:

Players looking to farm the Saurian Crowned Whistle can obtain these materials from the Sauroform Tribal Warriors in Genshin Impact.

Talent Books - Conflict

Conflict Talent Books Blazing Ruins Natlan - Genshin Impact

There are three talent book series in Natlan, and Ineffa joins Ifa, Chasca, Kachina, and Varesa in using the Conflict series specifically. These books can be obtained from the Blazing Ruins domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Knowing the schedule for some of Genshin Impact's Domains can help players collect certain items relatively painlessly.

Trounce Materials - Eroded Sunfire

A narrow image of the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire trounce with its unique drops. Eroded Sunfire is circled in green and the other two are crossed out with a red X.

The final Ineffa mat needed is the trounce domain item she uses in her talent upgrades: Eroded Sunfire. This item is only dropped by the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire inside the Stone Stele Records trounce domain, unlocked through the Natlan Archon Quest.

If you haven't progressed far enough to unlock this trounce domain, never fear. You can use the Quick Challenge function to attempt it directly without meeting the story requirements. However, this can only be done in solo mode and at Adventure Rank 40 and higher.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
