Sands: ATK% > Elemental MasteryATK: Best in almost all situations, also improves Shield and A4 Buff. Elemental Mastery: Decent alternative, can be better if she triggers Hyperbloom. Energy Recharge: Rarely used but can help on-fielders that need as much Elemental Mastery as possible.
Goblet: ATK% > Elemental MasteryElectro DMG% only influences a small part of Ineffa’s personal damage (<9%) so just like for the Sands, ATK or Elemental Mastery are the best choice.
