This Flins build is for Genshin Impact Version 7.0, “Everwinter Without Mercy,” and focuses on his current role as an on-field Electro damage dealer built around Lunar-Charged damage. The guide covers his best artifact set, useful weapon tiers, practical stat targets, current teams, talent order, and a C0 rotation without relying on unreleased characters or leaked kits.
Quick answer: Build Flins with 4-piece Night of the Sky's Unveiling, an ATK% Sands, ATK% Goblet, and CRIT Circlet, then prioritize enough Energy Recharge for two special Bursts before stacking CRIT and ATK. Bloodsoaked Ruins is his premium weapon; Prospector's Shovel is the practical craftable option. A reliable Version 7.0 team is Flins, Ineffa, Aino, and Sucrose. Use supports first, enter Manifest Flame with Flins's Skill, use Northland Spearstorm, cast the 30-Energy Thunderous Symphony, weave Normal Attacks, then repeat the special Skill and Burst once more.
Article status: verified September 6, 2026 for live Version 7.0. Build recommendations were cross-checked against current Flins theorycrafting from KeqingMains, Eurogamer, and GameWith. HoYoverse's official Phase II Event Wish notice is the source for his current banner status.
What is the best Flins build in Genshin Impact 7.0?
The strongest general setup treats Flins as an on-field Lunar-Charged DPS rather than a conventional Electro carry. That distinction changes the Goblet, team shell, and rotation you should use.
| Build slot | Best general choice | Practical alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Artifact set | 4-piece Night of the Sky's Unveiling | 4-piece Gilded Dreams or mixed 2-piece ATK, EM, and ER sets |
| Sands | ATK% | EM if its substats are clearly better |
| Goblet | ATK% | EM while farming |
| Circlet | CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG | Use whichever restores a balanced ratio |
| Premium weapon | Bloodsoaked Ruins | Staff of the Scarlet Sands or another strong CRIT polearm |
| Craftable weapon | Prospector's Shovel | An owned event polearm such as Tamayuratei no Ohanashi or Missive Windspear |
| Talent order | Burst, then Skill | Normal Attack last |
| Team core | Flins, second Nod-Krai unit, Hydro, support | Flins, Aino, Fischl, Sucrose |
The most important build correction is the Goblet. Flins deals a large share of his output as direct Lunar-Charged damage, so an Electro DMG Bonus Goblet does not amplify that damage the way it would on a conventional Electro carry. Current theorycrafting therefore favors ATK% over Electro DMG Bonus for the general Lunar-Charged build.
Judge CRIT after set effects, teammate buffs, and weapon stats are included.
Which artifacts are best for Flins?
Night of the Sky's Unveiling is the complete set
The 4-piece Night of the Sky's Unveiling is Flins's best all-purpose set because it aligns with the exact damage type his teams are designed to produce. KeqingMains rates it as his best set and notes that, at Ascendant Gleam, the full effect can provide 30% CRIT Rate and a 10% Lunar Reaction DMG Bonus for the party.
That makes artifact balancing easier but also creates a trap: stacking visible CRIT Rate on the character screen without including the conditional set bonus can leave Flins overcapped in combat. Build toward a roughly 1:2 CRIT Rate-to-CRIT DMG ratio after buffs, not before them.
Which main stats should you use?
Use this priority for a standard Lunar-Charged build:
- Sands: ATK% first, with EM as a temporary option.
- Goblet: ATK% first, not Electro DMG Bonus for the general build.
- Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, whichever gives the better final balance.
- Substats: Energy Recharge to requirement, then CRIT, ATK%, EM, and flat ATK.
ATK has extra value because Flins converts part of it into Elemental Mastery through Whispering Flame. The passive reaches its normal cap when Flins has 2,000 ATK, according to the live talent text reproduced in the reviewed theorycrafting sources. That is a useful baseline, not a reason to stop valuing ATK entirely: direct damage still benefits from the stat.
What should you use while farming the full set?
A strong mixed set beats a weak four-piece set. Use 2-piece ATK%, EM, or ER combinations until four good Night of the Sky's Unveiling pieces are ready. A well-rolled 4-piece Gilded Dreams set is also a credible bridge.
Avoid throwing away a well-rolled ATK Goblet just because a guide graphic shows Elemental Mastery. Flins already receives EM from his own passive and can receive more from Sucrose or other supports. Your actual inventory decides whether an ATK or EM piece wins.
What are the best weapons for Flins?
Bloodsoaked Ruins is Flins's signature and best-fitting premium polearm. It supplies offensive stats, improves Lunar-Charged output, and refunds Energy. KeqingMains estimates that its Energy refund can lower his ER requirement by roughly 25% to 30%, which is a major quality-of-life gain for a Burst-led rotation.
| Weapon | Tier for Flins | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Bloodsoaked Ruins | Best premium | CRIT, Lunar-Charged support, and Energy help in one weapon |
| Staff of the Scarlet Sands | Strong premium | High CRIT Rate and an ATK conversion tied to EM |
| Fractured Halo | Strong stat option | Useful CRIT and ATK profile, although Flins cannot use every part as efficiently as its intended owner |
| Staff of Homa | Strong stat option | CRIT DMG and ATK make it a usable general polearm |
| Primordial Jade Winged-Spear | Strong stat option | CRIT Rate plus a ramping offensive passive |
| Deathmatch | Best common paid 4-star | Easy CRIT Rate and useful ATK, especially in single-target fights |
| Prospector's Shovel | Best craftable | Built for Nod-Krai Lunar-Charged teams and fully obtainable |
| Tamayuratei no Ohanashi | Good owned event option | ER helps the special-Burst cycle |
| Missive Windspear | Good owned event option | ATK and EM both contribute |
| Favonius Lance | Emergency ER option | Fixes a starved rotation but gives up personal damage |
Use Bloodsoaked Ruins if you own it, craft Prospector's Shovel for a permanent free option, or select your strongest available CRIT polearm and balance artifacts around it.
Do not pull a weapon only because a spreadsheet calls it first place. HoYoverse's current Phase II notice confirms that Bloodsoaked Ruins and Fractured Halo share the weapon wish, while the two character wishes run in parallel. If you are still deciding where to spend, check the current Genshin banner schedule and read the live Wish Details before committing.
How much Energy Recharge does Flins need?
Flins's ER requirement changes more than his artifact headline because the second Electro character, weapon, Favonius triggers, enemy particles, and rotation length all matter.
KeqingMains gives these working ranges for casting the short Burst twice per C0 field time:
| Battery setup | Approximate C0 ER target |
|---|---|
| Electro Traveler | 100% to 105% |
| Fischl, Ororon, or Kuki Shinobu | 110% to 120% |
| Another Electro teammate | 120% to 135% |
| Weak particle support or inconsistent catches | Test upward rather than forcing a universal number |
At C1 and above, the same reference places common ranges from approximately 105% to 145%, depending on the Electro partner. Treat those as testing bands, not guarantees. If the second Thunderous Symphony is not ready on schedule, add ER. If it is ready early every rotation, trade excess ER for CRIT or ATK.
Test in the same combat chamber several times. Add ER until Flins can cast both special Bursts without waiting; one attempt with extra enemy particles is not enough evidence.
Which Flins teams work in Version 7.0?
Flins wants four jobs covered: another Nod-Krai character to raise Moonsign, Hydro application for Lunar-Charged, Energy support, and buffs or resistance reduction. In Version 7.0, the cleanest current shell is Flins, Ineffa, Aino, and Sucrose.
| Team | Purpose | Main tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Flins, Ineffa, Aino, Sucrose | Complete current Lunar-Charged core with shielding, Hydro, EM, and Anemo utility | Uses both current featured 5-stars if you do not own Ineffa |
| Flins, Aino, Fischl, Sucrose | Accessible damage-and-energy core with current promoted Aino | Less comfort than Ineffa's shield |
| Flins, Ineffa, Yelan, Sucrose | Strong off-field Hydro with Ineffa comfort | Longer cooldowns can stretch the rotation |
| Flins, Ineffa, Mona, Sucrose | Shorter Hydro setup and flexible catalyst support | Buff timing is less forgiving |
| Flins, Aino, Fischl, Lan Yan | Shielded alternative using current promoted 4-stars | Less EM support than Sucrose |
Aino is especially useful for a current guide because HoYoverse officially lists her as a promoted 4-star on both Flins's and Ineffa's Phase II banners. Sucrose supplies EM and can use Viridescent Venerer to reduce Electro resistance after an Electro Swirl. Fischl supplies off-field damage and Electro particles. Ineffa combines a second Nod-Krai slot, Electro support, and defensive comfort.
The current banner's shared guarantee rule also matters when planning the premium version of this team. HoYoverse says, “The wish guarantee count for ‘Character Event Wish’ and ‘Character Event Wish-2’ is shared.” That is from the official Version 7.0 Phase II notice. It does not mean you need both featured characters; the Aino, Fischl, and Sucrose shell remains the sensible lower-cost starting point.
What is the correct Flins rotation at C0?
Flins has a normal Burst and a cheaper special Burst. His Elemental Skill first places him in Manifest Flame, converting his Normal and Charged Attacks to Electro. The special Skill, Northland Spearstorm, then makes Thunderous Symphony available for 6 seconds.
A practical C0 sequence is:
- Use the team's longest-duration support abilities first.
- Switch to Flins and use his Elemental Skill to enter Manifest Flame.
- Use one Normal Attack to begin particle generation.
- Cast Northland Spearstorm.
- Cast the special 30-Energy Thunderous Symphony.
- Weave Normal Attacks while the special Skill returns.
- Cast Northland Spearstorm a second time.
- Cast Thunderous Symphony a second time.
- Finish the available Normal Attack string, then reset the support rotation.
The normal Burst costs 80 Energy, while the special version costs 30 Energy. Current theorycrafting favors two short Bursts because they fit the field window and cost less total Energy than repeatedly forcing the long Burst. Flins can also generate up to five Electro particles from Electro Normal Attack hits during his Skill state, with a 2-second particle-generation cooldown.
This is why pressing every button immediately can feel worse than weaving attacks. The Normal Attacks are not the largest direct damage source, but they help fund the next special Burst. If your ER is already comfortable, you can shorten the final attack string rather than extending field time for particles you do not need.
Which Flins talents should you level first?
Prioritize:
- Elemental Burst
- Character level to 90
- Elemental Skill
- Normal Attack last
Flins's special Bursts produce most of his personal Lunar-Charged damage, making Burst the clear first talent. Level 90 improves reaction performance and base stats. Skill follows because it controls the Manifest Flame gameplay loop. His infused attacks use the Skill's mechanics, so Normal Attack levels contribute less than they would for a traditional polearm carry.
Raise Burst first, secure the needed level and ascension, then improve Skill.
What mistakes weaken a Flins build?
- Using an Electro DMG Goblet by default. It misses the direct Lunar-Charged portion that defines the build.
- Ignoring Moonsign. A second appropriate Nod-Krai teammate is central to the intended artifact and team setup.
- Building one screenshot's CRIT stats. Conditional set bonuses can push the actual combat ratio far above the profile ratio.
- Forcing the 80-Energy Burst every rotation. The two short 30-Energy Bursts usually fit C0 gameplay better.
- Skipping Normal Attacks entirely. They help generate the particles that keep the rotation moving.
- Using a future or leaked teammate as if confirmed. This guide uses Version 7.0 characters and makes no claim about the unannounced Version 7.1 line-up.
- Farming artifacts too early. Player advice in the fresh Reddit discussions repeatedly warned beginners to prioritize character and weapon levels before serious artifact farming at higher Adventure Rank.
The last point answers a genuine player misconception. A perfect set is not the first fix for an underbuilt account. Guaranteed upgrades to character level, weapon level, and important talents come before weeks of chasing random artifact rolls.

FAQ
What is the best artifact set for Flins? The best general set is 4-piece Night of the Sky's Unveiling. Use ATK% on the Sands and Goblet, then a CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Circlet that balances the final in-combat ratio.
Should Flins use an Electro DMG Bonus Goblet? Not for his standard Lunar-Charged build. A large share of his output is direct Lunar-Charged damage, which does not receive the conventional Electro DMG Bonus, so ATK% is the stronger general recommendation.
What is the best free weapon for Flins? Prospector's Shovel is the strongest practical craftable choice because its effects directly support a Nod-Krai Lunar-Charged setup. Owned event polearms with useful ATK, EM, or ER can bridge the gap.
How much Energy Recharge does C0 Flins need? A working range is roughly 100% to 135% with an Electro battery, depending on the teammate and particle flow. Test the actual rotation and add ER until both special Bursts are ready reliably.
What is a good Flins team without Ineffa? Flins, Aino, Fischl, and Sucrose is a practical Version 7.0 core. Aino covers Hydro and the second Nod-Krai slot, Fischl provides Electro particles and off-field damage, and Sucrose supplies EM and resistance reduction through Viridescent Venerer.
Which Flins talent should you level first? Level Elemental Burst first, then raise Flins to 90 and improve Elemental Skill. Normal Attack is the lowest priority for the standard build.
Is Flins available in Version 7.0 Phase II? Yes. HoYoverse's official Event Wish notice lists Flins on The Lone Light Knocks at Night from September 1 at 18:00 through September 22, 2026 at 14:59. Use the countdown inside your game for the exact server-relative deadline.
