Version 5.8 of Genshin Impact is already making waves, and a large part of that excitement is thanks to ENF (also seen as Ineva or Inava in some leaks), a newly leaked five-star Electro support character. With a unique mechanic that redefines Electrocharged reactions, ENF could herald a major shift in Genshin’s elemental combat system and provide foundational support for what’s to come in version 6.0.
Redefining Electrocharged: Luna Electrocharged
The centerpiece of ENF’s kit is her rework of the Electrocharged reaction. Instead of merely enhancing the reaction through buffs or uptime, ENF introduces a custom mechanic known as Luna Electrocharged. This isn’t just a fancy name—it replaces the traditional Electrocharged behavior.
When any party member triggers Electrocharged with ENF on the team, the normal interaction is replaced by an electro cloud that appears above enemies. This cloud deals continuous Electro damage over time, functioning like a pseudo-summon that adds persistent pressure on the field.
What’s revolutionary is the dual-scaling nature of this effect. Luna Electrocharged scales based not only on the triggering character’s Elemental Mastery, but also on ENF’s Attack, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage. This opens up dynamic new build paths and makes her a true hybrid buffer and sub-DPS.
Elemental Skill and Burst
ENF’s Elemental Skill summons a creature—functionally similar to Fina’s companion—that attacks nearby enemies and provides an Electro shield, adding a defensive layer for team survivability. Her Elemental Burst then deals AoE Electro damage and resummons the companion, refreshing its duration and ensuring uninterrupted support.
This synergy between skill and burst makes ENF a reliable presence on any field, and especially valuable in teams that depend on stable off-field effects.
Ascension Passive: A Reverse Bennett Buff?
One of ENF’s most interesting traits is her Ascension 4 Passive, which converts a portion of her ATK stat into Elemental Mastery for the active character. It’s essentially a reversed version of Bennett’s attack buff—rather than increasing raw attack, she boosts reaction damage potential.
This is especially impactful for characters like Neuvillette or Furina, who usually prioritize HP or Crit stats and don’t typically build EM. With ENF, they can benefit from stronger reactions without sacrificing their standard builds.
Built for Synergy: Teasing the 6.0 Electro Meta
Leakers are pointing to ENF being more than just a powerful standalone unit. Her design seems purpose-built to support a new Electro male character arriving in version 6.0, who will also be centered around reaction-based combat—specifically Luna Electrocharged.
This synergy suggests a two-character design strategy similar to Fina and Skirk in Natlan. If true, ENF will be integral to a new team archetype, elevating Electrocharged from a niche reaction into a core mechanic for high-level gameplay in the coming region, Nod-Krai.
Flexible Utility and Build Options
Beyond her reaction control, ENF brings versatility to your team:
- Off-field sub-DPS potential thanks to her dual-scaling Luna EC
- Electro shield support for stability
- Buffing potential through her attack-to-EM conversion
- Consistent uptime of her summoned support via her Burst
Whether you’re building her as a reaction enabler or a full crit-scaling sub-DPS, ENF adapts to different strategies—an impressive contrast to many rigid support units in the game.
Final Thoughts: ENF Is Just the Beginning
While her numbers and final animations are still in early development and subject to change, ENF is already shaping up to be one of the most impactful Electro support units in Genshin Impact. She isn’t just enhancing Electrocharged—she’s replacing it with something more reliable, more scalable, and far more engaging.
If you’ve been waiting for Electro to finally get some love beyond Aggravate or Hyperbloom, this is your moment. ENF could be the beginning of a new meta, and with version 6.0 around the corner, she may also be the key to unlocking powerful future synergies.

ENF’s Burst:
- Deals AoE Electro damage
- Resummons her skill’s creature and refreshes its duration, maintaining uptime and field presence
What is her Ascension 4 passive ability?
Her A4 passive converts part of her ATK stat into Elemental Mastery for the active character. It’s like a reversed version of Bennett’s buff—boosting reaction damage instead of flat ATK.
Who does ENF synergize with?
She synergizes especially well with:
