In the Wake of Wandering Winds

The best Ifa build in Genshin Impact (Version 7.0) is A Thousand Floating Dreams with Desert Pavilion Chronicle. Updated August 22, 2026

How this build was derivedIfa’s kit multiplies Elemental Mastery, read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst rather than from the ability prose. Weapons and artifact sets below are ranked on whether their stat and their passive text act on that stat. This is a reading of the game’s own numbers, not a community tier consensus — a set that wins a niche team composition will not show up here.

Ifa build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

A Thousand Floating Dreams is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Ifa's kit multiplies Elemental Mastery, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Nightweaver's Looking Glass, Etherlight Spindlelute and Starcaller's Watch come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Ifa, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Desert Pavilion Chronicle on Ifa, with Viridescent Venerer and Song of Days Past behind it. Main stats are Elemental Mastery sands, Elemental Mastery goblet, Healing Bonus circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > Elemental Mastery > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Ifa Airborne Disease Prevention — elemental skill icon | Genshin Impact
Skill

Airborne Disease Prevention

It's time for the real bash bros to step up! Ifa calls Cacucu in as backup. After using this skill, Ifa gains 80 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state. In the Nightsoul's Blessing state, Ifa will hover with Cacucu's help. When he uses Normal Attacks in this state, he will use different kinds of Supporting Fire depending on whether you Tap or Hold, firing Tonicshots that are capable of healing all party members.

Additionally, Holding the Elemental Skill Airborne Disease Prevention while Ifa is in Nightsoul's Blessing will cause him to use a Nightsoul-aligned Plunging Attack. Letting go of the skill button will interrupt this Plunging Attack to maintain his hover. If Ifa lands due to this Plunging Attack, his Nightsoul's Blessing state will end.

    Whistledart Wings

    Ifa's outfit. You've never seen Ifa change his hat, but he has done so many times — just, you know, to an identical-looking one on each occasion. "Don't forget to tie a string on a hat you're fixin' to wear, bro. Never know when the wind might nick it — or a pesky saurian, for that matter." So Ifa says with a sigh of exasperation each time the subject is broached.
