Flins Character Overview
Flins is a sustained Electro DPS character whose kit revolves around the Lunar-Charged reaction. He excels at high-frequency Electro-Charged triggering and dominates in multi-target environments, while also serving as an amplifier within Lunar-Charged team compositions.
 DMG Lunar-Charged Main DPS Lunar-Charged Amplifier | Base Stats | |
Element | Electro | |
Weapon | Polearm | |
Base HP | 12491 | |
Base ATK | 352 | |
Base DEF | 809 | |
Ascension Stat | CRIT DMG +38.4% | |
When evaluating the new character roster in Genshin Impact, Flins stands out as the core Main DPS for Lunar-Charged teams — the dedicated on-field carry that Lunar-Charged compositions have long been waiting for.
His core kit converts standard Electro-Charged reactions into Lunar-Charged reactions, while simultaneously boosting the team's Lunar-Charged Base DMG through his own ATK, reducing enemies' Electro RES, and sustaining continuous on-field damage through his Manifest Flame form.
At Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam, his damage output receives a further boost, making him a well-rounded package that combines both burst damage and sustained amplification in a single character.
Beta testers have praised his strong damage performance, and one of his standout advantages is team flexibility — he pairs well with a wide range of characters, including Fischl, Sucrose, and Aino, fitting naturally into a variety of Lunar-Charged compositions with minimal restrictions.
4 Things You Need to Know Before Playing Flins
Flins deals damage through Lunar-Charged — a special reaction unique to him that can crit and scale with Crit Rate/DMG. Everything in his kit feeds into this one mechanic, so before you build him, here are 4 things you need to understand.
1️⃣ A consistent Hydro applier is essential
When Hydro and Electro coexist on an enemy, they normally trigger Electro-Charged — but with Flins in the party, this is automatically converted into Lunar-Charged. This means your team must include a character capable of maintaining a steady Hydro aura on enemies at all times, ensuring Flins can deal damage reliably.
No Hydro uptime = No Lunar-Charged = Massive DPS loss
2️⃣ Electro DMG Bonus ≠ Lunar-Charged DMG Bonus
Lunar-Charged is an independent reaction damage type and is not buffed by Electro DMG Bonus, Elemental Mastery, or Aggravate buffs. The only stats that actually boost Lunar-Charged DMG are:
- ATK
- CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
- Lunar-Charged-specific DMG Bonus (from certain weapon or Artifact set effects)
⚠️ Electro DMG Bonus does not increase Lunar-Charged DMG — don't build in the wrong direction!
3️⃣ Flins must reach Moonsign
Flins has a unique stacking mechanic called Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam — think of it as his combat empowerment state. At full stacks, both his Lunar-Charged DMG and CRIT Rate are significantly enhanced, making it a hard prerequisite for his damage rotation.
How to reach Ascendant Gleam: Before Flins takes the field, have your teammates use their Skills in sequence to trigger Hydro/Electro reactions. By the time Flins swaps in last, he should be at full stacks. Both team composition and swap order should be designed around building up Ascendant Gleam before Flins goes on-field.
4️⃣ Flexible team building — one rule only
Flins has no strict team requirements. As long as your team can:
- Maintain consistent Hydro application
- Help maintain Ascendant Gleam
...everything else is open. RES shred, ATK buffs, Shields, and Healing can all be freely slotted in around these two priorities.
💡 The bottom line: play Flins by keeping three things in mind — enter the field at Ascendant Gleam, trigger Lunar-Charged consistently, and stack CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG as high as possible.
Flins Kit Breakdown
Talent Priority: Elemental Burst (Q) > Elemental Skill (E) > Normal Attack (A)
- Elemental Burst (Q) — Prioritize leveling to 9 or above. The vast majority of Flins' Moonlit Electro direct damage comes from her Burst, making it the cornerstone of her entire damage rotation. Every Talent level yields a direct and meaningful increase to her damage output, giving it the highest return on investment of any Talent. Level it to 10 whenever resources allow.
- Elemental Skill (E) — Level to 6 or above. The Skill itself contributes a relatively modest share of total damage, but it serves as the entry point for triggering the Moonlit Electro cycle while generating Energy for the Burst. Leveling it primarily improves rotation consistency rather than raw damage — Level 6 is sufficient.
- Normal Attack (A) — Leave at Level 1. Normal Attacks account for a negligible portion of Flins' overall damage output. In practice, they serve primarily as filler between rotations and as a means of Energy generation, rather than a meaningful damage source. Prioritize resources for Q and E — Normal Attack Talent does not need to be leveled.
In summary: the Burst is Flins' primary damage source, as the majority of her Moonlit Electro direct damage is tied to it — prioritize leveling it to 9 or above. The Skill contributes less and is secondary. Normal Attack can remain at Level 1.
Best Weapons for Flins
Flins deals direct Lunar-Charged DMG, meaning ATK scales better than Elemental Mastery — weapons with an EM main stat are not recommended.
Flins Weapon Rankings
Weapon DPS Ranking (Crimson Moon's Semblance = 100% baseline)
Crimson Moon's Semblance > Scarlet Sands / Calamity Queller / Staff of Homa > Duel's Prelude / Rightful Reward / Vortex Vanquisher > Dialogues of the Desert Sages / Engulfing Lightning > Prospector's Drill / Windblume Ode
Flins Best Constellations
Each time you pull a duplicate of the same limited 5-star character, you unlock one Constellation level, stacking from C1 up to C6. In other words, your first pull is C0, the second unlocks C1, and so on — reaching C6 requires a total of 7 pulls.
For Flins, all Constellations are straightforward damage-focused upgrades. C1, C2, and C6 offer the most significant boosts and are the recommended stopping points.
| Icon | Constellation | Effect | DMG ↑ | Rating |
 | C1 Part the Veil of Snow | Northland Spearstorm CD reduced to 4s; triggering Lunar-Charged restores 8 Energy for Flins | +32% | ★★★★★ |
 | C2 The Devil's Wall | Normal Attacks deal an additional 50% ATK as Lunar-Charged DMG; at Ascendant Gleam, Flins' Electro attacks reduce enemies' Electro RES by 25% | +21% | ★★★★★ |
 | C3 Stranger in the Night | Elemental Burst (Q) +3 Talent levels | +13% | ★★★★★ |
 | C4 Night on Bald Mountain | ATK +20%; enhances Moonsign Benediction Passive | +9% | ★★★★★ |
 | C5 Exile's Shadow | Elemental Skill (E) +3 Talent levels | +1% | ★★★★★ |
 | C6 Songs and Dances of Death | Lunar-Charged DMG +35% (independent multiplier); at Ascendant Gleam, the entire party's Lunar-Charged DMG +10% | +43% | ★★★★★ |
Best Flins Team Comps
Flins' core team formula: Flins + Electro character + Hydro applier + RES shred support, with at least one teammate covering survivability.
Flagship Team: Lunar-Charged Fleet
This is currently the most complete Lunar-Charged composition available, with Flins as the Main DPS and Ifa and Columbina serving as Sub-DPS supports.
Alternative Team (Without Ifa)
Alternative Team（F2P-Friendly Team）
💡 Buffer Note: Standard DMG Bonus buffs do not increase Lunar-Charged DMG. When choosing support characters, prioritize those that provide direct ATK buffs or RES shred instead!

Flins Combat Tips
Basic Rotation Formula (Simplified) Activate Skill → Special Skill + Burst → Normal Attack AAA… → Special Skill + Burst → Normal Attack AAA… (repeat)
Rotation Breakdown
- Have all teammates take the field and use their abilities first — building up Hui stacks is the top priority!
- Switch to Flin's last to begin dealing damage
- Use the Special Skill whenever available, then immediately follow up with the Burst (short Q)
- If the Special Skill is on cooldown, continue Normal Attacking while waiting for it to reset
- Use the Special Burst when Energy is available; otherwise, continue Normal Attacking
- Each cycle typically includes two Special Skill → Burst combos
Four Key Reminders
- Flins' damage is centered on Moonlit Electro; prioritize CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK, and Elemental Mastery
- Electro DMG Bonus does not apply to Moonlit Electro damage — do not invest in the wrong stats
- No fixed team requirement — simply ensure teammates can apply Hydro and Electro for reactions
- Electro Normal Attacks and Skills scale with Talent level, but their damage contribution is low. Level 1 Normal Attack Talent is sufficient
Should You Pull for Flins?
Flins' kit is fully functional at C0, requiring no Constellations to perform properly — C0W0 is completely viable. All Constellations provide purely numerical upgrades, with C1 and C6 serving as the most impactful breakpoints for players looking to invest further.
Recommended for:
- Travelers who simply enjoy Flins as a character
- Players who already have Ianassa (strongly recommended pairing)
- Players interested in building a Moonlit Electro team
Less suitable if:
- Your roster already has a well-built Electro main DPS, leading to significant team overlap
- You have no consistent Hydro applicator and have no plans to build one in the near future
Conclusion
Flins is a highly specialized yet exceptionally powerful damage core, capable of fully unleashing her potential within the Moonlit Electro (Lunar-Charged) archetype.
When the team is built around this system, her sustained Electro damage output and AoE suppression capabilities shine to their fullest — making her one of the premier Electro main DPS choices in the current Version 6.4 meta.
If you are committed to the Moonlit Electro archetype, Flins is an unquestionable priority pull. Players on a tighter budget should focus first on maxing her Talents and optimizing her Artifacts; if assembling her core team composition is not feasible in the short term, it is equally reasonable to hold off and wait for the archetype to be further fleshed out in upcoming versions.
Best of luck on your pulls! For more character guides, version updates, and the most practical resource-planning advice, stay tuned to GamsGo.
FAQ about Flins
What God Is Flins Based On?
Flins is based on an alleged Slavic deity — potentially a god of death — first mentioned in the 1492 book Cronecken der Sassen by German writer Konrad Bothe, who described Flins as being worshipped by people in the Harz Mountains and Lusatia (present-day Germany and Poland).
Who Exactly Is Flins?
Flins is a Lightkeeper of Nod-Krai and the lone guardian of the lighthouse and graveyard at the Final Night Cemetery. Though appearing enigmatic and cold, he is a cultured and courtly gentleman, and one of the last of the Snowland Fae still residing in Nod-Krai.
What Is Flins' Real Name?
His full name is Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins — and this is how he prefers to introduce himself, as a Ratnik of Nod-Krai.
Is Flins A Bad Guy?
No. Flins is a calm and well-mannered man who treats others with politeness and elegance. He fights for the people of Nod-Krai and honors those who have fallen, even having been awarded a medal for his conduct.
Why Are The Animals Scared Of Flins?
This specific detail isn't directly documented in the available sources. However, it is likely tied to his nature as a Fae and his connection to death and graveyards. Flins is not fully integrated into human customs due to being a Fae, and his role as a guardian of a cemetery — combined with his eerie, enigmatic appearance — may naturally unsettle wildlife around him.
Where Is Flins' Grave?
Flins doesn't actually have a personal grave — he has a dark sense of humor, teasing the Traveler and Paimon during their first meeting by inviting them to visit "his grave," which is in fact the Final Night Cemetery he keeps watch over. It was a joke at their expense.
