History (biography)

Ifa is a descendant of the Flower Feather clan, which is engaged in the healing of the saurians. He always found a better common language with animals than with people, so he connected his life with this business. His father taught him everything he knew about medicine, and later the boy decided to develop this science himself and improve his skills. During the war with the Abyss in Natlan, he helped representatives of various tribes fight corruption and healed their wounds.

A companion in his life appeared completely by chance. One day, the young man saw that the Saurians were beating a strange, mutated creature that was different from all the others in appearance, and decided to intervene and heal it. The creature's life was hanging by a thread, and after the treatment, it became his assistant and received the name Kakuku.

Abilities

Unlike most typical -buffer types, Ifa's abilities are aimed at dealing damage to enemies during combat, rather than directly buffing allies. The character enters the Night Spirit's Blessing state and begins to float above the field, releasing Healing Projectiles at enemies. Each hit deals Anemo damage and can cause Dispel on targets.

In addition, he gains Salvation Fundamentals levels as he spends ND points within the squad. This ive increases the numbers from the Charged and Dispersion reaction during the Blessing. The ult hits noticeably and pulls opponents to one point.

Basic skills (active skills)

The skills of the Flowerfeather clan marksman are intended to be played as a driver and are scaled from two different sources.

ive skills

The character has a number of internal buffs that apply to both their own skills and the reactions carried out by the squad. Some ives only work within Natlan and simplify exploration of the world.

The order of leveling talents

Elemental Skill (E) > Elemental Burst (Q).

There are two abilities that require development priority.

• Elemental Skill — the main source of damage, healing and energy gain for the elemental explosion. During the action of E-shka, normal attacks turn into Fire , due to which the damage from shots and the HP regeneration of the squad during the work of the Blessing of the Night Spirit depend on the pumping of this ability.
• Explosion of the elements - an area-of-effect tie-up ability with good numbers but a short duration. Thanks to the Sedative Mark that appears with the ult, you can deal additional damage and apply Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro element over an area.
• Normal attacks - no need to pump.

Constellations

The best constellations of Ifa are - C2, С4, С6.

• Second Const. is better revealed within squads of Natlan representatives, since it depends on the number of heroes with the ability to receive Night Spirit points and spend them. Together with the limit of the levels of the Salvation Fundamentals, the buff for the reactions Dispersion and Charged will increase. Less effectively, the second constellation of the sauroveterinarian will be able to implement personally if he is the only character with ND in the team.
• Fourth Consta increases the duration of the "tie" on the field, which can play an important role in battles with groups of enemies. In addition, for 15 sec. gives 100 units of elemental mastery, which is important for healing during the work of the elemental skill or the reaction of Dispersion.
• Sixth Consta allows you to show higher numbers thanks to a 50% chance to fire a projectile that deals additional damage to the enemy. In addition, being "in the pocket", the young man will begin to save phlogiston and Night Spirit points.

How to play as Ifu

Ifa's abilities are designed to be played as a driver while also healing her allies. Blessings of the Night Spirit the hero quickly moves around the battlefield and actively shoots at enemies using Dispersion. Such gameplay through certain types of reactions requires the inclusion of characters in the squad that are suitable for the elements and to observe rotation.

Based on the primary role of the driver, the young man needs to spend enough time on the battlefield to accumulate stacks of Salvation Basics. The hero is best realized in a team with Electro, Hydro, Cryo or Pyro applicators, capable of maintaining the elemental status on targets for reactions with the Anemo element.

Rotation

or Applicator Skills > Switch to Ifu and use an elemental skill (E) > Reset Elemental Burst (Q) > Connect normal attacks when needed.

1. Start rotating your squad using skills from buffer heroes or companions that can cast their element on enemies.
2. When you switch to Yifu, use "E" to enter the Night Spirit's Blessing state. Hold down the normal attack button to continuously fire Medicine Shells at targets and gain Salvation Basic levels.
3. When Elemental Burst builds up, press "Q" to pull a group of enemies into one spot, apply Sedative Mark to them, and create an area explosion.
4. If there are low HP enemies left on the field and the buffers are still active, use normal attacks to deal damage and the Dispel reaction.
5. After the cooldown of the abilities of the s and the character himself, repeat the rotation.

Advantages and disadvantages

Having analyzed the main features of Ifa's build, ives and playstyle, we can draw certain conclusions about its pros and cons:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Strong buff to Charged and Dispel reactionsProvides a powerful boost to certain teams while being an epic character.	Small baselines. He has an extremely low ATK value, despite the fact that all skills depend on this stat. This is reflected in the damage the character deals without using reactions.
Easy to learn. It does not stand out for its complex rotation; when playing, it is enough to adhere to an elementary sequence of actions.	Takes a lot of time on the field. The skills don't work out of pocket so it's not suitable for players who want a low maintenance healer and buffer.
Move around the world with ease. The hero is able to fly to a certain height, and in places with phlogiston mechanics, heal the saurians or the active character.	Low variability of units. To get the max buff, the team must include at least one more hero from Natlan, also works better in teams from Charged and Dispersion.
Can wear Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City if necessary. In some teams, Ifu can be used as a sub-damage dealer, capable of distributing set buffs, which combines well with the buff provided by the character itself.

Leveling

The main materials for leveling up Ifa are obtained from Natlan locations, but to raise the veterinarian's talents to maximum levels, you will need resources from the boss from Mondstadt.

Elevation

To reach max level you will need to purchase the following materials:

• Shards, fragments, pieces and gems turquoise Wayuda - Drops when farming some bosses.
• 420 000 hero experience.
• Young Fang, Adult Fang, Tyrant Fang - Resource from various Saurian tribes in Natlan.
• Mad Statue Core - Boss's main material Lava Dragon Statue.
• Saurian's Paw is a common plant found primarily in the Tequemeakan Valley and near the Children of Echo settlement.

Talents

In the table you can find out the type and quantity of key resources required for pumping one talent. Each of the materials is obtained in different ways:

• Teachings, Instructions, and Philosophy on Discord - Talent Books from the Dungeon "Fiery Ruins", if you come to the dungeon in Wednesday, Saturday и Sunday.
• Young Fang, Adult Fang, Tyrant Fang - item dropped by saurians.
• Ascended Paragon: Rook - Weekly Boss Statue Шахматы.
• Crown of Insight - a rare resource that can be used to raise the ability to level 10.
• 1 900 000 pestilence for each skill.

Best Builds for Ifu

Although his personal damage depends on ATK, first of all he needs MS for effective Dispersion and healing of the squad during the series of Medicine Shots. The ult is important due to the fact that it pulls opponents to one point, but the young man has abilities that make it easier to activate, so you should not overdo it with this stat.

Recommended characteristic values

It is best to collect Ifu completely in mastery of the elements, not paying attention to crits and other stats, except for a small increase in VE from sub-stats. This will allow him to realize himself well as a driver and provide the group with reliable survival.

• Elemental Mastery: under 600 units and above.
• Energy recovery: about 120%-140%.
• Crete. chance: not less than 50% for using the Favonius Codex.

Best weapon

The best option would be a weapon with the Elemental Mastery sub-stat. In some cases, you can also consider equipment for VE if it has a effect.

Name	ive	Recommendation
Dreams of a thousand nights ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 Elemental Mastery: 58-265	If the allies' elements match the wearer's, Elemental Mastery is increased by 32-64. If different, the wearer gains 10%-26% Elemental Damage Bonus. The effects stack up to 3 times. In addition, Elemental Mastery of allies is increased by 40-48.	A useful catalyst with a buff for the team. In addition to increasing the main stat for the character, it increases the MS of the entire squad, which combines well with the reactions of Dispersion and Charged.
A dream on a sunny morning ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 Elemental Mastery: 58-265	After activating Dispersion, increases Elemental Mastery by 6-120 for 240 sec. After being hit by an elemental skill, increases MS by 96-192 for 9 sec. After being hit by an elemental explosion, increases MS by 32-64 for 30 sec.	The weapon increases personal damage when certain skills are pressed, although it is not as beneficial for the group. However, the equipment has high base characteristics, making it one of the best options.
Nautical atlas ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Elemental Mastery: 24-110	For 10 sec after triggering a reaction, increases elemental damage by 8%-16%. The effect stacks up to 2 times.	F2P variant, matching the driver's gameplay. Will increase outgoing damage during the action of the elemental skill.

Codex Favonia ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Energy recovery: 10%-45.9%	Critical hits have a 60%-100% chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 energy every 12-6 sec.	It is recommended to increase the critical chance to at least 50% for the ive of this weapon to work. It will help to quickly gain energy for the explosion of the element and regenerate elemental particles for the entire squad.
Sacrificial Fragments ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 41-454 Elemental Mastery: 48-221	Gives a 40%-80% chance to reset an elemental skill after it is cast. The effect occurs once every 30-16 sec.	The weapon's ive ability is extremely situational and doesn't have much use in combat, even though the base stats are beneficial.
Ring of Hakushin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 44-565 Energy recovery: 6,7%-30,6%	When a character equipped with this weapon triggers a reaction related to the Electro element, all nearby squad whose element matches that reaction gain a 10%-20% damage bonus to their element for 6 sec. Elemental damage bonuses gained this way do not stack.	Suitable for play from reaction Charged in combination with Dispersion in the presence of strong Electro sub-dds. In other teams, the ive weapon will not give buffs to the team.
The Widsith Base stat: 42-510 Crete. damage: 12%-55.1%	When switching characters, every 30 seconds the musical theme plays for 10 seconds: Recitative: Increases attack power by 60%-120%. Aria: Increases elemental damage by 48%-96%. Interlude: Increases Elemental Mastery by 240-480.	If you have all the necessary stats in your artifacts, you can equip the The Widsith.

An acceptable option if you absolutely need to increase incoming healing for your squad. A dubious option for regular use, as it doesn't have any useful stats for your character.
The Vigil of the Caller to the Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 Elemental Mastery: 58-265	Increases Elemental Mastery by 100-200. When the wearer creates a shield, they gain the Mirror of Night effect every 14 sec for 15 sec: the active character's damage is increased by 28%-56%.	In essence, this equipment simply covers the need for MS. However, it will not be possible to fully realize the weapon's ive within the framework of combat.

Best Artifacts

Artifacts on Ifu should increase both the character's personal damage and be useful to the squad. The most priority set will be the set Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City to get a buff to elemental damage.

Detachments

This character doesn't have many really strong teams that he can use. Due to the ive condition and buffs to Charged, the hero works better in combination with Electro and Hydro characters, but additional percentages of buff for reactions depend on the presence of companions from Natlan.

It is best played with various sub-DDs, since the sauroveterinarian himself is an active participant in battles. He does not combine well with Geo and Dendro, since the Anemo element does not interact with these elements.

Best characters

As an Anemo driver, he spends most of his time on the battlefield. The character has the best synergy with Hydro and Electro companions. If desired, he can be added to a Pyro and Hydro lineup, but he will not become an indispensable unit there.

Priority Allies

The table shows the best characters recommended for participation in t battles. They give status from the pocket or increase the level of ive, which makes the gameplay more comfortable.

damage dealers

Other possible partners that would also be great:

Top Teams

Due to the specificity of the character, the list of working compositions with him is very limited, and they can be divided into two conditional groups:

• "Signature" packs with Electro and Hydro elements, as well as companions from Natlan.
• Alternative groups with other elements.

Tasers

Compositions with a combination of Hydro and Electro elements on the field, which are supplemented by Dispersion:

Alternative groups

These are mostly commands via the Steam reaction, which is provided by the sub-dd while in the pocket. In rare cases, the Saurovet can be used as an indirect buffer under the Anemo damager.

Сonclusion

Ifa has interesting gameplay and stands out with strong buffs for the reactions Charged and Disperse, and also uses the mechanics of the Night Spirit. His ive abilities include many personal enhancements that help build up mastery of the elements and make it easier to assemble artifacts and weapons. There are also enough functions in combat: he can pull opponents, heal allies, strengthen the team and at the same time deal good damage to enemies.

However, there are not many groups in which he could show himself properly, because the conditions of the skills greatly limit the choice of allies. In pure numbers, this character loses to many other drivers and main DDs, which is why it may not be worthwhile for older players to invest in his development. Nevertheless, if there are suitable sub-DDs on the and you like the reaction of Dispersion, the dynamic gameplay of the Saurovetinarian can please and diversify the usual combat routine.

We hope this guide helped you put together an effective build for Ifu in Genshin Impact to implement all the features of this hero.
