Ifa Talent Priority

Talent overview:

• Ifa’s Skill allows him to summon his familiar Cacucu and fly up in the sky. When using this skill, Ifa will gain 80 Nightsould energy and enter the Nightsoul state, allowing him to hover with the help of Cacucu. When in this state, Ifa can fire Supporting Fire using his normal attacks, dealing Anemo damage and healing allies proportional to his Elemental Mastery.
• Ifa’s Burst allows him to hit the opponents in front of him with a sedative shot, dealing Anemo damage. If this attack hit an enemy afffected by Cryo,Hydro,Pyro or Electro, a Swirl reaction will occur and inflict the Sedation Mark effect, exploding after a short amount of time and dealing Anemo damage to enemies with this mark.
• Ifa’s Ascension Talents allow him to buff the Swirl and Electro-Charged damage of the team proportional to the amount of Nightsoul Energy in the entire team when he is in NIghtsoul Mode and whenever an ally trigger a Nightsould Burst, Ifa will gain 80 Elemental Mastery.

In terms of skill leveling, players should level up Ifa’s Skill to improve his heal scaling. Leveling Ifa’s Normal Attack and Elemental Burst are not needed as it only affects his own damage output and doesn’t provide team-wide benefits.
