Tier Rating

As a Main DPS
Flins is the premier on-field DPS for the Lunar-Charged reaction, with well-defined static rotations albeit Energy-reliant for his Special Elemental Burst. While his teams are restricted to the reaction, this doesn’t mean that he isn’t free-to-play friendly. In order for his kit to function, he requires a Nod-Krai character and a Hydro applicator, of which Aino, who is free, can perfectly fit both roles.For his best teams, there’s not much flexibility in the choices as there are only a handful of Nod-Krai characters in Luna I that can synergize with him. Currently, Ineffa is his only requirement to be able to compete against our current top tier DPS, and can only get higher as we get better or more dedicated supports. We can expect a bump to his position in the meta once we get to that point.

Regarding Flins’ synergy with Ineffa, while he doesn’t exactly require her presence to cause Lunar-Charged, Flins’ teams specifically wants a Sustain, an Energy support, a Buffer support, and a Hydro applicator in his team, and Ineffa already fulfills the first two of these checkboxes. If you do not have or won’t be planning to get Ineffa in the near future, we recommend getting Flins’ C1 as it mostly makes up the damage an Ineffa would bring.

Flins Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Allows the Lunar-Charged reaction, which basically by itself is a stronger variant of Electro-Charged due to it having the ability to CRIT. • High damage multipliers on Lunar-Charged procs as well as consistent procs allow Flins’ damage to skyrocket beyond most Elemental Reaction-based teams. • Some of Flins’ ATK gets converted to Elemental Mastery, making it easier to build him with other stats such as ATK, Energy Recharge, and CRIT in mind.
Weaknesses
• Flins is a character that is specifically built around Lunar-Charged, and is thus gated to this team comp and its variations. This is further supported by most of his damage being frontloaded and even then only being boosted when he is in his optimal team comp. • A good portion of Flins’ damage comes from his Special Elemental Burst, which requires adequate Energy Recharge to consistently have it available, making him somewhat Energy reliant if you want to maximize damage.

Flins Best Builds

Flins DPS Builds

As a Lunar-Charged and Electro DPS, Flins’ passives benefit having him be built as a CRIT DPS focusing on meeting his 2000 ATK and 130~140% Energy Recharge goal points, CRIT Rate or DMG, then any remaining on Elemental Mastery.

He also benefits from Polearm weapons that either improve Elemental Burst or Lunar-Charged damage.

Lunar-Charged Electro DPS

Best Weapon	Bloodsoaked Ruins
Replacement Weapons	1. Staff of the Scarlet Sands 2. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear 3. Fractured Halo 4. Deathmatch 5. Prospector’s Shovel
Best Artifacts	Night of the Sky’s Unveiling x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: ATK%
	Circlet: CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery
Sample Teams	Lunar: Lunar (F2P):

As the premier Lunar-Charge DPS option, supply him with ample stats and weapons that synergize with his Elemental Burst-oriented playstyle. He also prefers an ATK Goblet over the typical Electro DMG due to most of his damage coming from Lunar-Charge.

Put your focus on his ATK and ER stats, then CRIT, then any outlying substats into Elemental Mastery in order to maximize his On-Field damage. Take note that Night of the Sky’s Unveiling lowers his CRIT Rate requirements by up to 30%.

Flins Goal Stat Values

Stat	Goal Value
ATK	2,000
Energy Recharge	130 – 140% (Double Electro) 160%+ (Solo Electro) Not recommended
CRIT Rate	40~50% before Night of the Sky’s Unveiling CRIT Rate bonus
CRIT DMG	175% or Above
Elemental Mastery	100 – 200

Flins wants to get his ATK to a serviceable amount like 2,000 in order to cap out his Elemental Mastery Ascension Passive at max, giving him 160 bonus EM.

You will also need to prioritize meeting his Energy Requirements up until 140% to reliably use his Special Elemental Burst in his rotations. Note that this is on Double Electro comp with Ineffa, and it’s not recommended for Flins to be the sole Electro at C0 as he’s reliant on using his Special Burst.

The rest of his stats should go into CRIT at a balanced ratio, with some excess going into Elemental Mastery to increase his reaction damage further.

Flins Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill	Normal Attack

Flins’ kit revolves around his Elemental Burst, its mini-Burst variant, and the Lunar-Charged DMG it provides, and should be prioritized first, with his Elemental Skill following suit after.

Normal Attacks are the least of his priorities, but can still be beneficial if you plan to use Flins in an extended combo with his Normal Attacks.

Flins Artifact Rankings

Night of the Sky’s Unveiling is undoubtedly Flins’ best artifact set due to his role as a Lunar-Charged DPS that hails from Nod-Krai, making full use of the artifact set’s CRIT Rate bonus.

Alternatives to this can be Thundering Fury for its Quality-of-Life cooldown reductions, or Marechaussee Hunter if he is paired with Furina.

Flins Best Weapons

Nod-Krai Weapons Are Flins’ Best

Bloodsoaked Ruins is Flins’ best weapon due to how it fully synergizes with his Lunar-Charged based kit. Alternatively, Flins can also make use of the new Prospector’s Shovel Nod-Krai craftable.

Otherwise, general Elemental DMG weapons like Staff of the Scarlet Sands work for its stat conversion effect and Elemental Skill buffs, or a general DPS weapon like the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
