Ineffa
With Kuki Shinobu
Nahida provides the essential, high-frequency Dendro application that Kuki Shinobu needs to trigger Hyperbloom consistently. Her Elemental Burst grants Kuki a massive EM buff, which is the primary scaling factor for Hyperbloom damage. This pairing forms the backbone of Kuki's most powerful and popular team compositions.
With Ineffa
Nahida enables Ineffa to trigger consistent Aggravate reactions by maintaining a permanent Quicken aura on enemies. Her Elemental Mastery sharing is highly beneficial for Ineffa, as it boosts the damage of her Electro-related reactions. This synergy allows Ineffa to function as a high-damage sub-DPS or on-field driver within Dendro teams.
With Kuki Shinobu
Yelan provides the Hydro application necessary for Kuki Shinobu to generate Dendro cores for Hyperbloom. Her ramping DMG buff from Depth-Clarion Dice increases the personal damage of whoever is currently on-field, while her high personal damage contributes significantly to the team's total output. She is an excellent alternative or addition to Xingqiu in Kuki's Hyperbloom teams.
With Ineffa
Yelan's rapid Hydro application allows Ineffa to trigger constant Electro-Charged reactions, providing high sustained damage and minor crowd control. Her mobility and damage buffs complement Ineffa's playstyle, making the team feel dynamic and powerful. Ineffa's Electro application also helps Yelan maintain Hydro resonance if another Hydro unit is present.
