Flins Builds Overview

Role & Element

When you use Flins, you get a 5-star Electro polearm user who shines as your main DPS. His kit focuses on big Electro damage, especially with his Ancient Ritual: Cometh the Night. You want to trigger as many elemental reactions as possible. Flins works best with Hydro and other Electro teammates. This helps you keep up a steady flow of reactions and boosts his damage.

Flins belongs to the Nod-Krai group. If you have two Nod-Krai characters in your party, you get a special bonus. Take a look at this table to see what changes:

Character	Effect when 1 Nod-Krai in party	Effect when 2 Nod-Krai in party
Flins	None	Increase Lunar-Charge Damage by 20%

So, if you want to get the most out of Flins Builds, try to pair him with another Nod-Krai character. This will give you a big boost to his Lunar-Charge damage.

Flins does best in teams that focus on elemental reactions. His passive ability turns some of his ATK into Elemental Mastery. This means he hits even harder when you trigger reactions like Electro-Charged or Superconduct. In the right team, Flins can reach about 35,000 DPS, which puts him up there with the top meta characters, as discussed on community forums like Reddit.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Flins has some clear strengths that make him stand out. Here’s what you can expect when you build him right:

Very high burst damage thanks to his Lunar-Charged mechanics and transformed state.
Great scaling with ATK, Elemental Mastery, Crit Rate, and Crit DMG.
Flexible playstyle. You can keep him on the field for big damage, or swap him in for quick bursts.

But Flins also has some weaknesses you need to watch out for:

He needs the right team to shine. Without another Nod-Krai character or strong Hydro support, his damage drops.
You have to manage his Energy Recharge carefully. If you don’t have enough, his burst won’t be ready when you need it.
Getting the right artifacts and weapon stats can be tough. If you miss out on Crit or Elemental Mastery, his damage will suffer.

Here’s a quick list to help you remember:

Flins is amazing in multi-target fights. His AoE Lunar-Charged reactions hit groups of enemies hard.
He struggles in single-target battles, especially against enemies that move a lot or resist Electro.

You might wonder how much difference the right build makes. If you use his signature weapon, you get a 15-20% damage boost over top 4-star options. But even with a strong 4-star weapon, Flins can still do well, especially if you unlock his first constellation. That gives you almost a 29% damage increase!

Many players make mistakes with Flins Builds. Here’s a table of common errors and how to avoid them:

Mistake Type	Description
Energy Management Errors	Not enough Energy Recharge. Aim for 140-160% ER at C0 for smooth rotations.
Stat Imbalances	Focusing too much on Crit and not enough on ATK%. Try to reach at least 2000-2200+ ATK.
Team Building Failures	Not enough Hydro application or missing key teammates. This hurts your reaction uptime.

Tip: If you want Flins to reach his full potential, balance his stats and pick teammates who help trigger reactions often.

With the right Flins Builds, you can handle most content in Genshin Impact. Just remember to adjust your team and stats based on what you have. Try different setups and see what works best for you!

Flins Kit & Talents

Skill Breakdown

Flins brings a lot to your team. His normal and charged attacks deal Electro damage. This helps you hit harder and avoid getting interrupted. Flins can use a special reaction called Lunar-Charged. You do not need to worry about old damage rules. This new reaction lets you do more damage faster.

Here is how each part of his kit helps your team:

Ability	Contribution to Team Performance
On-Field Main DPS	Changes Normal and Charged Attacks to Electro DMG. This boosts damage and helps Flins avoid interruptions.
Lunar-Charged Enabler	Starts the new 'Lunar-Charged' reaction. This gives more damage and is not slowed by old multipliers.
Quick-Swap Sub-DPS Potential	Lets Flins recover energy fast and use bursts often. This helps the whole team work better together.
Best Team Composition	Flins works best with Ineffa, Aino, and Furina. This team gets lots of Electro and Hydro reactions for more damage.
Ineffa	Gives Electro off-field and a big DMG bonus. This helps Flins use his Burst more often.
Aino	Gives Hydro Resonance and uses Hydro a lot. This boosts Flins' reactions and Elemental Mastery.
Furina	Raises team DMG and makes more Lunar Electro-Charged reactions. This helps the team do even better. You can see when she might next be available on upcoming banners.

Flins fits well in teams that use lots of reactions. His kit is best with Electro and Hydro teammates. To get the most from Flins, use these team combos.

Talent Priority

You should level up Flins’s talents in the right order. His Elemental Burst is the most important. It costs 80 energy and has a 20 second cooldown. Upgrade his Burst first for the biggest damage boost.

Energy Cost: 80
Cooldown: 20.0 seconds

Next, level up his Elemental Skill. This helps you make reactions and get energy. His Normal Attack is last. Only level it if you use Flins as your main DPS.

Tip: To make Flins strong, max his Burst and Skill first. This makes your team work better and your damage much higher.

Flins Weapons

Best Weapons

When you want Flins to hit his hardest, you need to pick the right polearm. His top choices give you more CRIT Rate, higher damage, and help you trigger his Lunar-Charged reaction. Here’s a quick look at the best weapons for Flins:

Weapon Name	Base ATK	CRIT Rate	Special Effects
Bloodsoaked Ruins	674	22.1%	36% Lunar-Charged damage for 3.5s after Elemental Burst, 28% CRIT DMG for 6s after triggering Lunar-Charged, 12 Elemental Energy recovery
Staff of Scarlet Sands	N/A	N/A	CRIT Rate + EM-to-ATK conversion
Staff of Homa	N/A	N/A	Reliable stat stick
Primordial Jade Winged-Spear	N/A	N/A	Consistent scaling
Deathmatch	N/A	N/A	Provides CRIT value
Prospector's Shovel	N/A	N/A	Buffs Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged damage

Bloodsoaked Ruins stands out as the best-in-slot for Flins. You get a huge boost to Lunar-Charged damage and extra CRIT DMG after you trigger his special reaction. This weapon (you can check its full stats on the Genshin Impact Wiki) also helps you recharge energy, so you can use his Burst more often. If you don’t have it, Staff of Scarlet Sands and Staff of Homa are both strong picks. They give you more CRIT and help you scale your damage, making your Flins Builds even stronger.

Alternatives

Not everyone has a 5-star polearm. You can still make Flins shine with some great 4-star options. These weapons boost his CRIT stats or Elemental Mastery, which means more reaction damage for your team.

Weapon	Base ATK	CRIT Rate/DMG	Why it matches
Deathmatch	454	+36.8%	Easy-to-use stat stick with built-in Crit Rate, boosting Flins' crit ratios.
Ballad of the Fjords	510	+27.6%	Provides huge EM boost for maximizing reaction damage in Flins' team (and ManaBuy can help with Battle Pass purchases).
Blackcliff Pole	510	+55.1%	High Crit DMG and stacking ATK after kills, scales well in mob waves.
Prospector's Shovel	510	+41.3%	Buffs Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged damage, enhancing Flins' core damage.

If you want a simple choice, Deathmatch gives you lots of Crit Rate and works well in most teams. Ballad of the Fjords is perfect if you focus on reactions. Blackcliff Pole is great for fighting groups of enemies. Prospector’s Shovel boosts Flins’ main damage types, so it’s a solid pick too.

Tip: Try out different weapons and see which one fits your playstyle and team best. Even with budget options, Flins can carry your team if you build him right!

Flins Artifacts

Recommended Sets

Picking the right artifact set for Flins can make a huge difference in your damage. You want to boost his Elemental Mastery and reaction power. Here are the top choices for you:

The Night of the Sky’s Unveiling (4-piece) works best. This set gives you more Elemental Mastery and makes your reaction damage even stronger when your teammates trigger elemental effects nearby. It fits Flins perfectly and helps you get big numbers from his skills.
Gilded Dreams (4-piece) is another strong pick. This set also boosts Elemental Mastery and gives you extra ATK based on your team. If you like to mix up your team comps, Gilded Dreams gives you lots of flexibility.

Tip: If you don’t have a full set yet, you can mix and match two-piece sets that give Elemental Mastery or ATK%. This is a common artifact leveling strategy and still helps Flins hit hard while you farm for the perfect set.

Stat Priorities

You want to focus on the right stats to get the most out of Flins. Main stats and sub stats both matter a lot. Here’s a quick table to help you choose:

Main Stat	Sub Stat
ATK%	Energy Recharge
Elemental Mastery	Crit Rate & Crit DMG
Crit Rate / Crit DMG	ATK%

For the sands, go with ATK% or Elemental Mastery. The goblet should have Electro DMG Bonus. The circlet works best with Crit Rate or Crit DMG, depending on what you need for balance. Try to keep your Crit Rate and Crit DMG at a good ratio, like 1:2. Don’t forget Energy Recharge. Flins needs enough to use his Burst often, so aim for at least 140%.

You can always adjust your stats as you get better gear. Flins Builds shine when you balance Elemental Mastery, Crit, and ATK. Keep an eye on your sub stats and swap out weaker pieces as you go.

Flins Team Comps

Reaction Teams

Flins does best in teams that use reactions. His Electro skills work great with Hydro or Cryo teammates. This way, you can trigger Electro-Charged and Superconduct many times. You get more damage and the game feels smoother.

Here are some top team setups for Flins Builds:

Premium Reaction Team

Flins (Main DPS)
Furina (Hydro Applier)
Ineffa (Electro Sub-DPS)
Kazuha (Anemo Support)

This team gives lots of Hydro and Electro. Kazuha helps boost your elemental damage and pulls enemies together. You can make reactions almost every second. You will see big damage and clear fights fast.

Cryo Reaction Team

Flins (Main DPS)
Aino (Hydro Enabler)
Rosaria (Cryo Sub-DPS)
Sucrose (Anemo Support)

Rosaria brings Cryo for Superconduct. Sucrose helps control crowds and raises Elemental Mastery. You get strong single-target and AoE damage. This team is good for Spiral Abyss and boss fights.

Tip: Try using other Hydro or Cryo characters. You can pick Ayaka or Xingqiu for more choices.

Flexible Options

You might not have all the 5-star characters. You can still make strong teams with Flins using free or easy-to-get characters. These teams use people you probably already have. You get good reactions and helpful support.

Here are some flexible teams most players can build:

Character	Role
Flins	Main DPS, Buffer, Electro Enabler
Aino	Support, Buffer, Hydro Enabler
Xingqiu	Sub-DPS, Buffer, Hydro Enabler
Sucrose	Support, Buffer, Debuffer

Xingqiu gives steady Hydro. Sucrose boosts Elemental Mastery and groups enemies. You can trigger Electro-Charged reactions a lot. This team is smooth and easy to use.

Try this team if you want more Electro power:

Character	Role
Flins	Main DPS
Fischl	Sub-DPS, Battery
Aino	Hydro Enabler
Sucrose	Support

Fischl gives extra Electro and helps with energy. Flins gets more Burst energy. Aino keeps Hydro going for reactions. Sucrose helps group enemies and gives buffs.

Check out these popular budget teams. Many of these utilize the best 4-star support characters:

Team Composition	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Elemental Enabler	Support
Flins Xingqiu Normal Attack Team	Flins	Xingqiu	Aino	Sucrose
Flins Fischl Dual Electro Team	Flins	Fischl	Aino	Sucrose
Flins Safe F2P Team	Flins	Shinobu	Aino	Sucrose

You can swap Shinobu for Fischl or Xingqiu if you want. These teams use common 4-star characters. You get strong reactions and good defense. Sucrose helps control the fight and boosts your damage.

Note: You do not need every top character for Flins Builds. Try different supports and see what you like. You will find a team that works for you.

If you want Flins to do even more damage, focus on reactions. Use Hydro and Cryo supports. Make sure your team can trigger Electro-Charged or Superconduct a lot. You will see Flins reach his best.

Ascension & Talent Materials

It takes time and planning to level up Flins. You need to collect special items, boss drops, and a lot of Mora. Let’s look at what you need for each step and how to make his talents stronger.

You need different things for each ascension. Here’s a table to help you remember:

Level Ascension	Materials	Rewards
Level 20 Ascension	1x Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, 3x Broken Drive Shaft, 3x Frostlamp Flower, 20,000 Mora	1x Acquaint Fate. Getting all these materials and farming Primogems for pulls can take time.

Tip: Start picking Frostlamp Flowers early. You need 168 total!

Talent Materials

To make Flins stronger, you must level up his talents. Each talent needs books, boss drops, and other items. Here’s what you need for all three talents:

Material	1 Talent	3 Talents
Mora	1,625,500	4,957,500
Crown of Insight	1	3
Ascended Sample: Queen	6	18
Teachings of Vagrancy	3	9
Guide to Vagrancy	21	63
Philosophies of Vagrancy	38	114
Broken Drive Shaft	6	18
Reinforced Drive Shaft	22	66
Precision Axle	31	93

You get Vagrancy books from talent domains. Ascended Sample: Queen comes from weekly bosses. Crowns of Insight are from special events, so use them wisely. Farming all this costs Resin, which is where ManaBuy can help you stock up.

Note: Upgrade Flins’s Burst and Skill first for more power. You can level his Normal Attack later if you want him as your main DPS.

You have lots of ways to make Flins shine in your team. Here are the top picks:

Use Bloodsoaked Ruins for his weapon and the 4-piece Night of Sky’s Unveiling set.
Pick ATK% for Sands and Goblet, CRIT DMG for the circlet.
Try teams with Ineffa, Yelan, and Sucrose for big damage. Fischl and Aino work great if you want a budget team.

Feel free to mix things up. Flins’s kit lets you try new combos and see what works best in Spiral Abyss or any mode. Keep testing and have fun! And remember, ManaBuy has all your game top-ups when you're ready to build your next character.
