REACTION SUPPORT Build

Weapons

Favonius Greatsword

Energy Recharge

Cheapest way to fund the Burst — CRIT hits spawn particles for the whole team. Needs a CRIT Rate substat roll or two to proc dependably.

Makhaira Aquamarine

Elemental Mastery

EM main stat feeds reaction damage directly, and the passive converts Elemental Mastery into party ATK — a free buff for whoever triggers the reactions.

Flame-Forged InsightR5

Elemental Mastery

High base Energy Recharge and an energy-refund passive, so the Burst uptime that keeps Moonsign running rarely drops even without a battery.

Master Key

Energy Recharge

Flexible pick when Favonius particle generation is already covered — brings party-facing utility on top of usable base stats, trading personal damage for team consistency.

Artifacts

Silken Moon's Serenade

Built for Moonsign windows: the bonuses line up with Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam uptime, so reaction damage scales exactly when the team is buffed.

Noblesse Oblige

The 2pc ATK% is filler; the point is the 4pc ATK buff on Burst cast. Cheapest team-wide damage boost if nobody else already runs it.

Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City

4pc grants the party an elemental DMG bonus after a reaction is triggered — which a reaction-support rotation produces constantly, often with no extra setup.

Instructor

Budget 4pc: flat Elemental Mastery to everyone after any reaction. Best value when Hyperbloom or Vaporize carries the team's damage.

Deepwood Memories

Take this when a Dendro carry is on field: the 4pc shreds Dendro RES, stacking multiplicatively with the reaction bonuses from other sets.

Elemental MasteryCRIT Rate

Aino's A1 passive upgrades her Elemental Burst: while Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam is active, it strikes more frequently and deals larger AoE DMG. Requires 2+ Nod-Krai characters in the party — she counts toward that total herself.

OFF-FIELD SUPPORT
Aino applies Hydro off-field via her Burst, but has no Moon Wheel — as the lone Nod-Krai member she can't power Lunar-Reactions. She wants a second Nod-Krai ally (2+ total); see ability tips. Scalings are low, so personal damage isn't a priority.

[C4]: landing her Skill restores 10 Energy (10s CD), effectively dropping Burst cost from 50 to 40.

Weapons
Flame-Forged Insight: useless if she can't trigger the required elemental reactions; no need to level it unless you care about her damage.
Favonius Greatsword: stack CRIT Rate to proc the passive reliably.
Makhaira Aquamarine: skip if the team gains nothing from the ATK% buff.
Master Key: refinements are optional if her personal damage doesn't matter.

Artifacts
Highly interchangeable — choose based on team energy needs, buffing needs, or which ally already holds a set from the 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.
