REACTION SUPPORT Build

Weapons

Favonius Greatsword

Energy Recharge

Boosts Energy Recharge and its crit-based particles cycle the Burst back fast, so Moonsign uptime stays high for constant reaction procs.

Makhaira Aquamarine

Elemental Mastery

Provides Elemental Mastery and its passive grants party-wide ATK% based on the wielder’s EM, letting reaction investment also buff the whole team.

Flame-Forged InsightR5

Elemental Mastery

A reaction-focused claymore that likely adds Elemental Mastery and a damage boost for triggered reactions, amplifying each of the Burst’s rapid hits.

Master Key

Energy Recharge

When used as a claymore, its reaction-boosting effect makes repeated Burst waves hit harder, so every proc of the AoE contributes more to Vaporize/Melt.

Artifacts

Silken Moon's Serenade

Set bonuses that raise Burst damage and reaction-related stats synergize with the frequent Moonsign AoE, stacking the value of each wave.

Noblesse Oblige

Boosts Burst DMG and then increases the entire party’s ATK% after casting, making each Moonsign wave both hit harder and feed the DPS.

Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City

Support set that shreds enemy resistance to the element being reacted, so every Burst-triggered reaction hits for noticeably more damage.

Instructor

Party-wide Elemental Mastery buff on triggering a reaction is perfect for a support that constantly applies elements, amplifying all subsequent reactions.

Deepwood Memories

Shreds Dendro RES, making it the go-to for Bloom/Hyperbloom teams where the Burst’s AoE keeps triggering seeds.

Elemental MasteryCRIT Rate

Aino's A1 passive: When Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam is active (requires 2+ Nod-Krai characters in the party, Aino included), her Burst attacks more frequently and deals increased AoE DMG.

Hydro off-field support via Elemental Burst. Lacks a Moon Wheel; cannot contribute to Lunar-Reactions as the sole Nod-Krai character. Heavily prefers a second Nod-Krai teammate (2+ total). See ability tips for details. Damage scalings are very low; ATK% or CRIT DMG investment is not a priority.

C4: Landing Elemental Skill on an enemy grants 10 Energy, reducing Burst cost from 50 to 40 effective. Cooldown: 10s.

Weapon Choices:
Flame-Forged Insight: Useless if the team cannot trigger the required Vaporize/Melt reactions. No need to level unless you care about personal damage.
Favonius Greatsword: Build some CRIT Rate to reliably proc the passive.
Makhaira Aquamarine: Skip if the team does not benefit from the ATK% buff.
Master Key: Refinements unnecessary if personal damage is irrelevant.

Artifact Choices: Highly interchangeable based on team needs — energy, buffs, or which ally holds which artifact set from the available list.

The Principle of Transference in Gear Differentials

If Aino is off-field while the Focused Hydronic Cooling Zone of her Elemental Burst Precision Hydronic Cooler is active, when your active party member hits a nearby opponent with an attack, the Cool Your Jets Ducky will fire an additional water ball at that opponent, dealing AoE Hydro DMG equal to 25% of Aino's ATK and 100% of her Elemental Mastery. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 5s.
