Genshin Impact Drip Marketing Reveals Ineffa for Version 5.8
Ineffa is a brand-new 5-star character confirmed to debut in Genshin Impact during version 5.8.. She appears to be a humanoid robot with blue eyes and blue hair in her drip marketing artwork.. Her limbs seem to be mechanical, with screwheads being visible on the joints. As for the outfit, Ineffa wears a white and black dress with golden accessories and a blue and red cape hanging on her back. She also seems to be holding a Polearm, which may be her weapon type.
Here is what HoYoverse shared about Ineffa in her official drip marketing post:
- Name: Ineffa
- Title: Boom Boom Thunderwave
- Occupation: Multifunctional Robot for Domestic Application
- ???: Electro
- Constellation: Vanilla Planifolia
Ineffa is called a Multifunctional Robot for Domestic Application in her drip marketing post, suggesting that she is a robot developed for housekeeping. While the post confirms she will wield the powers of the Electro element, it mentions “???” instead of Vision. This may indicate that Ineffa does not receive her powers from a Vision, which makes sense with her being an artificial being.
Ineffa’s drip marketing post also includes a short description about her:
“First, you must acknowledge that Ineffa is the very best robot in the world! Then, you need to respect Ineffa’s opinions and decisions. Also, you have to accept that the Clink-Clank Kr… no, that’s not right… Accept that Ineffa has the final say in everything she does!” — Aino, in “Ineffa’s External Deployment and Support Agreement
The first quote is from someone known as Aino, who seems to be discussing Ineffa’s deployment agreement. They reiterate that the person who hires Ineffa must acknowledge that she is the very best robot. They must also respect her opinions and decisions. Furthermore, Aino mentions that she has the final say in whatever she does. This description also reveals that Ineffa is affiliated with Nod-Krai’s Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop.
