Flins - Best Teams and Builds - Genshin Impact
Contents
The Lightning Lightkeeper - introduction
Flins is an on-field DPS unit who utilizes a short field time to generate energy for himself and use the lower Energy cost Burst when possible. The majority of Flins' damage comes from his mini-Elemental Burst, which requires having good Energy Recharge to be reliable. With how Lunar-Charged is calculated, Flins wants his ATK stacked as high as possible without sacrificing other stats, and is generally more important than CRIT DMG. This is also why an ATK goblet is preferred over Electro DMG Bonus.
His common standard combat rotation is : Activate Elemental Skill -> Press Elemental Skill again -> Special Elemental Burst -> Normal Attacks -> Elemental Skill -> Special Elemental Burst
Flins requires another Moonsign character in his team to unlock a large portion of his damage potential.
Artifacts and best statistics
Gear for each slot is listed Best -> Worst. Generally, this means that you would start with lower gear recommendations and upgrade to higher ones.
| Name | Effects |
|---|---|
|
Night of the Sky's Unveiling |
Flins' Best-in-Slot Artifact Set due to the free 30% CRIT Rate passive and the 20% Lunar-Charge DMG increase |
|
Gilded Dreams |
Flins generally wants ATK and EM to boost his damage and since this set gives both, it's a very good 2nd choice. |
|
Gladiator's Finale |
Simple ATK% and weapon damage boost, good if you have nothing else to give for the time being. |
Stat Focus
- Sands of Eon: ATK% > Elemental Mastery
- Goblet of Eonothem: ATK% > Electro DMG Bonus
- Circlet of Logos: Crit DMG/Crit Rate > ATK%
- Substats in general: Crit Rate/DMG > ATK% > ATK > Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge
Skills
It's very simple as to upgrade Flins' skills all you have to do is upgrade them in order like:
- Elemental Burst - You deal AOE Electro DMG, you can consume less Elemental Energy to unleash a special Elemental Burst. It deals a single instance of that electro damage that is considered Lunar-Charged DMG so it's generally advised to use that one over the more expensive one.
- Elemental Skill - Flins' Normal and Charged Attacks deal Electro DMG that cannot be overridden by other Elemental infusions, and he is unable to perform Plunging Attacks; his interruption resistance is also increased
- Basic Attack - Simple.

| Flins - Main DPS | Columbina - Sub DPS | Sucrose - Support | Ineffa - Sustain |
If you need a replacement you can:
- Instead of Columbina - take Furina: she serves as a solo Hydro Sub-DPS option and raw damage buffer than a pure Lunar-Charge option
- Instead of Ineffa - take Zhongli: his skill provides an overwhelmingly healthy raw shield
- Instead of Sucrose - take Nahida for additional Dendro Burst reactions or Kazuha to increase elemental damage and faster grouping

| Flins - Main DPS | Aino - Sub DPS | Sucrose - Support | Diona - Sustain |
- Instead of Diona: take Ororon; Lunar-Charge is an extension of Electro-Charge, Ororon can function as both an Electro Sub-DPS and Battery for Flins
- Instead of Aino: take Xingqiu serving a Hydro applier, giving damage reduction and slight heal
Conclusions
If you want a strong AoE electro dps you definitely want Flins. He also focuses on Lunar Reactions, he's a very strong character in the current meta on top of being cheap to build. I urge to ask questions if there's any issues. Happy pulling !
