Flins is a 5-star Electro Polearm user from Nod-Krai, designed around the new Lunar-Charged reaction—a unique mechanic that not only scales well but can also crit. His kit is built for consistent on-field DPS rotations with strong synergy from specific supports. This guide covers his best builds, artifact priorities, weapons, constellations, and optimal team comps to maximize his damage.
Flins shines as a Lunar-Charged Electro DPS. His rotation relies on activating his Elemental Skill, triggering Lunar-Charged reactions, and weaving in his short Elemental Burst, which costs less Energy and fits into faster cycles. Unlike many Electro units, his damage is almost entirely tied to Lunar-Charged, making him team-restricted but very potent in the right comps.
Strengths:
- Access to Lunar-Charged, a reaction stronger than Electro-Charged.
- Crit-scaling reaction damage for huge burst potential.
- Low on-field time, enabling flexible rotations.
- Works well at C0 with free characters like Aino.
Weaknesses:
- Highly team-locked to Lunar-Charged comps.
- Energy-hungry without proper support.
- Benefits heavily from one or two Nod-Krai teammates.
Talent Priority
Since Flins’ kit revolves around bursts of Lunar-Charged damage, his talent upgrade order is straightforward:
- Elemental Burst – Core of his DPS, prioritize first.
- Elemental Skill – Secondary priority, important for enabling Burst.
- Normal Attack – Can be ignored unless you enjoy extended combos.
Leveling him to 90 (or 100 in Luna I) increases reaction multipliers, so ascension investment is strongly recommended.
Best Weapons for Flins
Top Choices
- Bloodsoaked Ruins (Signature) – CRIT Rate, Lunar-Charged DMG bonus, Energy refund, and CRIT DMG buffs. Best-in-slot.
- Staff of the Scarlet Sands – Converts EM into ATK; excellent synergy, especially if you already hit 2000+ ATK.
- Primordial Jade Winged-Spear – Reliable CRIT Rate weapon with stacking ATK and DMG bonuses.
Alternatives
- Staff of Homa – Works well with HP manipulation teams (like Furina comps).
- Fractured Halo / Symphonist of Scents – Viable CRIT options if available.
- Deathmatch (4★) – Best four-star choice thanks to CRIT and ATK boosts.
- Prospector’s Shovel (Craftable) – Free option with Lunar-Charged DMG bonus, strong at refinement 5.
- Favonius Lance – For Energy support builds if you struggle with ER.
Best Artifacts for Flins
Recommended Sets
- 4pc Night of the Sky’s Unveiling (Best-in-slot)
- +80 EM, CRIT Rate boost, and Lunar-Charged DMG buffs.
- Great for both personal DPS and teamwide reaction synergy.
- 4pc Thundering Fury (Early game)
- Not as strong, but workable while farming NotSU.
- 4pc Marechaussee Hunter (With Furina teams)
- Buffs Normal/Charged Attack CRIT Rate if HP fluctuates, though niche.
Stat Priority
- Sands: ATK% or ER (if struggling with Burst uptime).
- Goblet: ATK% (Lunar-Charged DMG scales better with ATK than Electro DMG).
- Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG.
Substats: CRIT Rate/DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge (aim for ~130–140% ER with Electro battery) > EM.
Goal Stats:
- ATK: ~2000+
- ER: 130–160% (lower with signature weapon)
- CRIT: Balanced ~1:2 ratio
- EM: 100–200
Constellations Breakdown
- C1: Reduces cooldown on his special Skill and refunds Energy. Huge quality-of-life upgrade.
- C2: Adds bonus Lunar-Charged AoE damage and shreds enemy Electro RES by 25%. Major DPS spike.
- C4: Increases ATK and enhances EM scaling.
- C6: Multiplies all Lunar-Charged DMG by 35% and buffs allies’ Lunar-Charged by 10%. His strongest constellation.
Best Stop Points:
C1 for smoother rotations, C2 if you’re pushing DPS. Beyond that is luxury unless you want C6.
Best Team Compositions for Flins
Flins is team-locked to Lunar-Charged comps, which require Hydro application and ideally Nod-Krai allies to unlock full Moonsign bonuses.
Premium Team
- Flins (Main DPS)
- Ineffa (Nod-Krai Sub-DPS/Support) – Buffs Lunar-Charged, provides Energy and EM.
- Aino (Hydro Support) – Essential Hydro application, C6 grants massive Lunar-Charged DMG boost.
- Sucrose (Anemo Support) – EM buffs, VV shred, grouping.
Free-to-Play Friendly Team
- Flins
- Fischl (Electro Battery/Sub-DPS) – Consistent particles and off-field damage.
- Aino / Xingqiu (Hydro) – Strong Hydro uptime.
- Sucrose (Anemo Support) – Budget but highly effective buffer.
Other Options
- Yelan / Mona – Strong Hydro alternatives with DMG buffs.
- Ororon – AoE Electro battery if Fischl unavailable.
- Kokomi – Healing and Hydro sustain.
- Lan Yan / Jean – Anemo support options if you lack Sucrose.
Rotation Example
A smooth rotation for Flins looks like this:
Skill → Special Skill → Short Burst → Swap to Supports → Reapply Buffs → Repeat.
At C0, you’ll fit two short Bursts per Skill cycle. With C1, you can squeeze in a third. Always pair with supports who provide off-field buffs or Hydro application, since Flins needs to stay on-field only briefly.
