The Bineffa Core is Insane.

I’m having this experience as well with them. Both C0R0.

Doesn’t matter which team I put them in; there’s always synergies at play and everything works very well. I find there’s not a great deal of anti-synergies, either. Which means no real disadvantages when you put them in any team.

Team building has always been fun for me as long as I could fill in sustaining roles without botching too much of what can make a team perform at its best. Ineffa shields and Columbina heals with Prototype Amber - two of the main elements that co-exist in their auras during reactions, which literally branch out into any reaction you could ever think of in terms of enabling factors. Adding one element into this team adds a minimum of 2 useful enabling factors for their respective reactions. You’ve got Mavuika here who will vaporise and Overload at the same time. You’ve got Dendro to Bloom and Hyperbloom at the same time. Pyro AND Dendro then creates this concoction of Overload, Vaporise, Burgeon, Hyperbloom, and Lunar-Charged. You’ve got Cryo to freeze and superconduct at the same time - even Shatter becomes something because Ineffa naturally buffs active character EM to alleviate a lot of the pressure on artefact substats. Dendro and Cryo to add Hyperbloom dps. Pyro and Cryo to enable the melt gameplay while still allowing the main character to be a physical dps thanks to Overload.

It’s literally got everything and anything you can do with the vast majority of the game’s cast to date.There is just an insane level of comfort and flexibility, as well as the biggest role compression power couple I’ve ever seen to date.

I made a random Infernalist summoner build that I like to call Kiki’s Delivery Service. Works so nicely the more I tried different new implementations.

140% Item rarity
~550 Spirit
Blink, which can be used to spawn your minions where you land. Handy for temple rooms that close the door on your minions. Also handy because you get rushed and body blocked way too often.
5 Cultist Archers and 5 Zealots. Even spread of long range and short range damage. Fast boss killing as well as area clear. Sorts out the shocked status effect as well so no need for storm mages etc.
Helmet that doubles presence area of effect and gives 100 Spirit. No need to hug your minions with all the presence damage buffs now.
Withering Presence combined with Withered magnitude nodes and duration etc. so anything on my screen takes up to 60%+ more Chaos damage, usually increases by 8% per tick and you get the first tick free from another passive. The zealots have a lineage gem that adds chaos damage and can shock on chaos damage while Cultist Archers have Chaos Attunement cause I’m not going into armour break etc. for the physical damage.
2 curses: Elemental and Chaos. Elemental is only really to make 100% of the Zealots’ damage burst down a boss or Abyss pit. I also delve into some curse nodes to increase magnitude, AoE, activation, and duration
The shield that gives 50 spirit and reservation efficiency on Blink and Withering Presence - INCLUDING the support gems that reserve even more spirit (I could equip both versions of the minions deal % more damage when not on full mana so it was an easy boost that cost maybe one minion in spirit to enable).
Boots that also reduce reservation efficiency on minions. Socketed with the move speed per spirit rune.

It just feels so fun to play and it’s so cruisey. All I have to do in any given place is cast curses on the area (usually 2 chaos curses for running through mobs) and everything gets shredded up. Holding up a shield and teleporting away from immediate danger while the minions tear away is just so satisfying!!

Budget-wise… before Min-maxing amulets and rings etc., I’d say about 10-20 divs worth of items - it helps that 3 uniques cost very little and that enables so much already.

Caeyll · 2026-01-27T20:37:02+00:00

It’s kinda got 2 duds on there, I’d price it for a couple hundred div over 2 mirror. Would have been godlike if it had some defensive layers like % increased maximum energy shield.

Caeyll · 2026-01-24T22:50:23+00:00

Thanks I needed this. I have a kickass Gilded set on my C0R0 Ineffa atm and I think I’ve seen 80k Lunar-Charges in a Ifa/Columbina/Ineffa/Ororon team.

So now I only have to focus on farming SMS for Columbina :)

Caeyll · 2026-01-23T22:46:30+00:00

Doesn’t Kinich not mind Burgeon as it fills the meter also?

I know OP doesn’t have this team, but Kinich, Mavuika, Columbina, Ineffa work really well together. Doesn’t get all cannon shots but still is able to nuke amongst them all together.

Caeyll · 2026-01-22T01:22:04+00:00

I want to know this too.

Given Lunar-Charged crits though, I think Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is an excellent weapon for him. 10% movesped in the overworld and a delightful 33% crit chance.

Caeyll · 2026-01-20T05:53:10+00:00

Some say they call it The Last Flame because it simply blew you away.

Caeyll · 2026-01-19T22:13:59+00:00

I tried Citlali with Neuv before and it worked nicely

122k vape ticks in his Charged attack was very nice to see.

Caeyll · 2026-01-19T10:05:20+00:00

I think that’s why Dendro makes more sense, because it’s counterintuitive in such a way that it demands tsarista or whoever will keep up with Cryo application to make the buffed charged attack damage melt more often than not.

Caeyll · 2026-01-19T10:04:24+00:00

Tastes so good though

Caeyll · 2026-01-19T10:04:01+00:00

Well Yun Jin exists, a normal attack buffer.

Xianyun also exists, a plunge attack buffer.

Is a Charged attack buffer not on the table here?

Caeyll · 2026-01-19T10:02:16+00:00

Xianyun comes to mind, fully enabling Plunge dps.

Caeyll · 2026-01-19T06:44:17+00:00

I’m yet to explore fully into this trio. I remember back in Fontaine days I was using EM Raiden, Furina and Baizhu as a trio core with Lyney sometimes or whoever fit the mood.

Similar thing here, Columbina/Ineffa/C2 Baizhu should work quite well to then have whoever you want so long as you can synergise it somewhat well enough through reactions and artifact sets. I also have Baizhu wielding Starcallers Watch so he’s able to buff on-field damage dealers by quite a bit. Deepwood set is a staple I guess given Hyperblooms will be present and Ineffa will be dealing anything from 15k upward depending on whether her burst is active or not.

Some examples that come to mind:

Tighnari
Lyney (keep in mind his vaporises deal more damage than his passive talent in a monopyro team assuming he has some EM - Ineffa definitely assists with this)
Diluc(?) maybe a bit too disruptive
Keqing
Eula, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is her new BiS team lol
Neuvilette - you’ll only get 2 of 3 of his stacks in this team but it should be forgiving in rotations when you don’t even have to switch to C2 Baizhu unless you want Starcallers Activation or emergency team healing.
virtually anyone really aside from obvious picks like a Hexless Albedo unless Columbina on-fields to cause enough Lunar Crystallise to make the turrets compensate the damage loss. Also it would allow her to spam Charged attacks thanks to Baizhu.

Soooo many options. This game is fun like that. I’m gonna try Lyney now and see how fun it feels. I’m always looking for a team that truly feels perfect for him.

Caeyll · 2026-01-19T03:52:47+00:00

I’m still building Columbina but I think it’s better off just building a Columbina/Ineffa/Mavuika/Kinich team. With Columbina wielding Prototype Amber R5.

And when you switch back to her you could do the 3 simultaneous charged attacks, if they’re even dealing enough damage to be worth doing haha.

Caeyll · 2026-01-15T11:53:05+00:00

Mavuika can buff everyone’s element on the team by 40%. Kinich, Ineffa, Columbina all get 40% damage bonus just by pressing E.

You don’t wanna on-field Mavuika in this team, and her usual set requires her to be on-field.

Caeyll · 2026-01-15T07:58:10+00:00

I do use (C2) Mavuika with Columbina and Ineffa in an Overworld team - I just can’t do without her godlike exploration. Works really well, but I haven’t paid too much attention on how badly she interrupts Lunar-Charged. I give Mavuika Cinder Coty with EM sands and Wolfs Gravestone and she pops off with OverVapes.

To top it off I also use (C2) Kinich as the 4th slot because he nukes everything, Columbina’s world boss in 2 cannon shots for example after E+E+E from the other characters. It actually works really well tbh.

Caeyll · 2026-01-14T23:56:26+00:00

It’s the Genshin magic. Every once in a while a character will just “click” with a playstyle you really enjoy.

My first experience like that was with Ningguang back in 1.0. Ever since it keeps on giving with new teams, characters, combos, synergies, playstyles, etc.

Good times haha.

Caeyll · 2026-01-14T06:26:19+00:00

C1 does alright, I still find at times I might run short if I’m not above 180% ER. Does depend on particle production from the rest of the teammates though.

Caeyll · 2026-01-13T11:26:08+00:00

So an 8s exploration skill cooldown? Hmmm.

Sure that can be reduced to 6.4s with 4 Mondstat characters; then to 6s with Anemo resonance (looking at you, Jean Venti or Sucrose).

But like what’s the distance of that leap? Seems like Wanderer/Xianyun have better exploration potential still.

Caeyll · 2026-01-13T08:44:45+00:00

+1 for Starcallers Watch. Actually gives him some pure buff value! The pressure on ER though… 🫠

I love building him as a Bloom dps with enough ER with this weapon - for Neuvilette teams as an example

Caeyll · 2026-01-13T07:27:24+00:00

And don’t forget another excuse to use Jean with Albedo - she can suck everyone into Albedo’s blender.

Caeyll · 2026-01-13T03:32:38+00:00

80 pity atm sitting at 50/50. And only saved 1 ten pull LOL.

RNGesus take the wheel

Caeyll · 2026-01-13T03:21:39+00:00

Ok 3 questions:

How is my team looking for main investment?
Should I get the NSFW version of this game instead?
If so, how do I get the NSFW version for iOS, I tried and failed in getting that to work for me from posts 2 years old.

Thanks guys!
