Genshin Impact – Ifa build and materials guide
By Marco Wutz
Make life’s ills disappear with the best Genshin Impact Ifa build and gather the strength you need to survive Cacucu screaming “No way, bro!” in your ear 24/7. Ifa is a 4-Star Catalyst user dealing Anemo DMG. Being a veterinarian, he naturally brings some healing to the table.

His Elemental Skill, Airborne Disease Prevention, activates the Nightsoul’s Blessing state and has Cacucu lift Ifa up into the air, allowing him to make attacks from above. These attacks are different depending on whether the attack button is tapped or held and can heal allies. Holding Elemental Skill while airborne allows Ifa to make a special Plunging Attack to end the state.
Ifa’s Elemental Burst, Compound Sedation Field, fires a sedative at an enemy target, pulling in surrounding enemies and dealing Anemo DMG in the area of effect. If the sedative hits enemies affected by Cryo, Electro, Hydro, or Pyro, they gain a Sedation Mark dealing extra Anemo DMG.
His Passive Skills allow him to increase the Swirl and Electro-Charged DMG of the entire party based on the team’s total Nightsoul Points while he’s in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state. When party members use a Nightsoul Burst, Ifa’s Elemental Mastery is increased.
Unlocking Ifa’s Constellation by obtaining duplicates of him provides additional bonuses.

Best Ifa weapons – Genshin Impact
Ifa relies on his ATK and Elemental Mastery to deal damage, though Elemental Mastery is the key thing you want to look out for. Sunny Morning Sleep-In is the most potent weapon for him, providing generous portions of Elemental Mastery and further increasing this stat after triggering Swirl reactions, hitting enemies with Elemental Skills, and hitting enemies with Elemental Bursts.
Best weapons for Ifa in Genshin Impact:
- Sunny Morning Sleep-In (5-Star)
- A Thousand Floating Dreams (5-Star)
- Sacrificial Fragments (4-Star)
- Mappa Mare (4-Star)
- Wandering Evenstar (4-Star)
Best Ifa artifacts – Genshin Impact
In addition to maximizing his Elemental Mastery and ATK, you’ll want to equip Ifa with lots of Energy Recharge to achieve a high Burst uptime. Fill the remaining slots with whatever you prefer between survivability (HP, DEF) and damage (CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG). Ifa’s main DPS source are Swirl reactions, so CRIT isn’t going to help things drastically.
Best Artifact Sets for Ifa in Genshin Impact:
- Viridescent Venerer (4) – +15% Anemo DMG, +60% Swirl DMG, -40% Elemental RES for enemies hit by Swirl, corresponding to the element absorbed by the reaction.
Best stats for Ifa in Genshin Impact:
- Flower: HP (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, ATK %, ATK
- Plume: ATK (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, ATK %, HP %
- Sands: Elemental Mastery (main stat), Energy Recharge, ATK %, ATK, HP %

Best Ifa teams – Genshin Impact
Although Ifa fits into any team that has space for an Anemo DPS, his Passive Skills make him most suited to take his place in Electro-Charged compositions.
- Ifa (Main DPS), Furina (Sub DPS), Ororon (Sub DPS), Fischl (Sub DPS)
Furina – or an equivalent off-field Hydro provider, such as Kokomi or Xingqiu – applies Hydro to enemies, which Ororon and Fischl can use to trigger Electro-Charged. Ifa shreds the enemies’ Elemental RES to Hydro and Electro and increases the team’s Electro-Charged DMG. Ororon, of course, also specializes in this reaction, making this a potent low-budget team composition. Because Ifa can heal the entire on his own, you can forgo slotting a dedicated healer into the party.
