Genshin Impact Ineffa release date

Ineffa joined the Genshin Impact character roster in version 5.8's first half, which went live on July 30, 2025. Though she was created in Genshin Impact's Nod-Krai, she's now in Natlan for the time being.

Who is Ineffa?

Ineffa is a five-star electro polearm-wielder. She also uses a deployable robot in combat named Birgitte. In "Ineffa's External Deployment and Support Agreement", Aino describes Ineffa as the "very best robot in the world", but also reminds the user that they must "respect [her] opinions and decisions," suggesting that she has some sentience.

Ineffa's title, Multifunctional Robot for Domestic Application, suggests that, much like Genshin Impact's Noelle, she initially served as a maid or cleaner in someone's home. We also know that she doesn't have a vision, instead drawing her electro power from some other source, like Genshin Impact's Skirk and the archons.

She's best known for voicing Cure Lovely from the Precure series, as well as the gen 5 Pokémon, Meloetta, in the Pokémon Black and White anime.
