Trying to decide who I’m gonna get. For those of u that have played Nefer or Flins. Why do u guys play them and what do you find most enjoyable about them. Thanks for ur input!
I love Nefer's design/character and she deals ridiculous damage with Lauma, but her gameplay is really boring for me. Her normals do nothing and her burst isn't great, so her bread and butter is just pressing E and then dash-cancelling her charged attack repeatedly.
Don't have Flins so I can't weigh in there.
Difficult-Ad-86442026-01-20 02:17
So would u say u regret pulling her or r u happy u got her?
Schadenfreude112026-01-20 02:29
Nah, no regrets at all, but if engaging gameplay is the main thing you're after then I'm not sure I'd recommend her.
BurningClown2026-01-26 20:01
Hey so I am having the same dilemma as OP here. Wanted to ask in this case, what kind of character do you feel has engaging gameplay? Nefer seems pretty demanding in terms of attention with all the cancels 'n stuff you're doing.
aiyaaaah2026-01-20 22:05
This is what I'm deciding as well but I'm a hu tao main so maybe I'll enjoy her gameplay
oldguardjoey2026-01-20 02:21
I have both. Flins is more fun to me. He pretty much has 2 different Qs so fairly flexible. Nefer feels clunky to me in her use. As far as enabling them, they both kinda need similar help but from slightly different sources.
the-evening-of2026-01-20 02:28
I don't have nefer, but I have flins. I wasn't going to get him because I was happy enough with Ineffa, but after playing his trial when he came out, I just really liked his animations and play style. He's really easy to pilot as well.
Shahadem2026-01-20 02:30
Neither.
Chasca is the most funnest of them all.
But between the two I hate using Nefer. Super duper clunky. An attack scaler with no defense should not be locking herself in place within melee range to use a charge attack. And no, I cannot dash cancel. I have never been able to do that on any character in any game ever.
Now if Nefer was properly designed by good devs then Nefer would be invincible while using her charged attack.
But Nefer is very poorly designed. I do regret pulling her. At least she can still be a generic Dendro DPS on IT I guess.
While Columbina also wants to use charged attacks to deal damage, she can do so from range AND she is a HP scaler.
fubukishirou072026-01-20 03:09
Chasca just feel very clunky to use especially if your a mobile user.
Professional_Tea6372026-01-20 02:40
I have both. They both are great but Flins edges out Nefer and I feel he is more flexible and fun.
Shaula-Alnair2026-01-20 02:50
I don't have Nefer, though I haven't been impressed in her trials. I do really enjoy playing Flins though. I enjoy getting to use his skill and burst multiple times a rotation, and it makes him feel less repetitive than some DPS characters.
TrialByFyah2026-01-20 02:57
I only really play Nefer during lunar bloom shill checks, meanwhile I use Flins all the time, his gameplay is much more entertaining for me.
SecyaDenali2026-01-20 03:00
Nefer but im very used to using those fast af dex characters in rpg hack/slash games. A really old game i used to play alot is Baldurs Gate 2 has a similar character and she is my fav. Nefer was only gated by the verdant dew mechanics and its fixed
But still Barbara on field over both
Scyaniide2026-01-20 03:00
Flinns has been the most consistent, clean, fun, easy gameplay I’ve ever had in my life ;-;
DungeonEnvy2026-01-20 03:38
I have Nefer and Flins, I much prefer Nefer, I think her gameplan is more interesting and her lack of sustain in premium teams + need for dash cancels makes fights scrappier
But lots of people find her gameplay awkward/clunky, so ymmv
Difficult-Ad-86442026-01-20 03:59
Do u find Flins or Nefer’s gameplay more enjoyable/ more interesting? Cuz I’ve heard people say Nefer’s gameplay gets boring.
DungeonEnvy2026-01-20 04:13
I find Flins' rotations very dull, his normal attacks are absolutely meaningless but he has gaps between his specialskill/special burst where you're just spinning your spear and looking cool but not actually doing anything
Nefer, with cancels, is fast and tight and slappy, I really enjoy it
I have both premium teams, both chart at roughly the same dps for me, but I have more fun with Nefer.
Njpsu2026-01-20 04:35
Pulled both, only play Nefer only when the game really wants me to use lunar-bloom. Flins is my favorite character to play.
9YU2Y9LCC2026-01-20 04:56
Ive got nefer on my main and flina on my alt, i feel like nefer is harder to play with the dash cancels but more fun while flins is easier to play just skill skill ult then atk until skill cooldown ends. I find nefer more fun but other people might see it differently
Averruncus2026-01-20 05:49
Nefer is the 2nd best DPS in my account but I don't enjoy using her. She has
Incredible damage, is fast, doesn't rely on energy, and has dash cancels that are easy (not even necessary sometimes), but she feels really floaty in combat, her CAs lack weight and feedback.
Personally I wish I pulled Flins over her.
DI3S_IRAE2026-01-20 06:37
Played Flins only in the AQ and trial, and didn't like much to be honest.
I have Nefer, and I also don't think she's that fun either.
She just needs... Everything to be made for her to work normally.
Her NK set, the other NK set, deepwood, good hydro application, a healer or shielder...
This for you to do good damage. Nothing spectacular, just good damage.
I have Lauma, Columbina and she deals huge damage, but it can be a bit... Clunky, in my opinion.
Columbina eases almost everything on Nefer teams, but without her it can be a bit meh. Especially if you don't have a lot of hydro.
She won't do anything without the dews being constantly refreshed. Miss one and she stands there just being beautiful.
I'm saying it like this in a negative tone because I like her so I have to be impartial as I can.
Without Lauma and/or Columbina, Nefer certainly loses some damage, but is perfectly playable. Her attacks are extremely fast and she has a great tracking of enemies and covers a huge distance with her enhanced chargeds.
Really her issue will be adjusting the team for her and making sure you'll always have dews being replenished, and a way to avoid death.
Difficult-Ad-86442026-01-20 19:22
But when she works would u say she’s enjoyable to play or just meh? What do u have as her 4th slot?
DI3S_IRAE2026-01-20 23:34
As I said, I like her, but it's nothing so exciting or really fun... To the point I didn't use her in Abyss for example.
My personal 4th slot is Barbara (🩵), and this team is really powerful, I just don't really feel much like playing her myself.
It can be mindless fun if you have Columbina because you'll have extra surplus of dews, using CA constantly without stop. I like her, it's just nothing spectacular. To me
I say this because I wanted her, got her but after getting friendship 10, I ended up switching the team... Which means she was not so fun to me 😭
Now I have her in the team again with Columbina. Again, it's fun.
Fun, not meh, but not OH BOY IT'S FUN!
Difficult-Ad-86442026-01-21 00:39
Thx for sharing ur experience 🙏
DI3S_IRAE2026-01-21 01:30
Of course, we all have different experiences. Have you tried her on the archon quest and on her trial stage?
Difficult-Ad-86442026-01-21 02:46
I think tried her on the archon quest but sadly didn’t pay too much attention on how she felt. I know it definitely didn’t feel bad or clunky. But it seems like she feels much better with Columbina. Also I’ve heard that Flins feels better with Ineffa but I’ve never gotten to try Flins with Ineffa so I’m just looking for people experience so I can decide if I want to pull flins or Nefer.
DI3S_IRAE2026-01-21 05:45
Flins reminded me of Cyno, somehow. Enter different fight mode, hit until you can do the special move?
I used Cyno on my friend account and it's somewhat fun. Like Nefer.
The thing with Nefer is really having some sustain or shield, because she's like Varesa, once you start you'll tank everything.
I find Varesa more fun because of all the different ways you can use her skills, but they're similar.
Press skill, hold charged attack and move to opponent automatically and with quick gap close, jump and do damage a few times in a row before you lose gas (dews or nightsoul). Varesa uses her burst often, Nefer doesn't, though.
Difficult-Ad-86442026-01-21 06:03
I see what u mean how Flins is like Cyno. I’ll think on it a bit more but I’ll probably roll for Nefer. I was just a bit hesitant when I heard people calling her clunky.
DI3S_IRAE2026-01-21 14:09
Haha if you have Lauma you'll be good. If you have Columbina you'll be extremely fine.
The clunkiness comes, in my opinion, from some factors aligned:
Lack of healer or shield on teams.
Lock on attacks where you can't evade.
Lack of dews to perform her attacks if you somehow mess rotation or don't have enough hydro/boss moves too much.
Skill ends and you have to press again and she looks like she's stuttering in the field, but that's more skill issue 😂
Difficult-Ad-86442026-01-21 15:43
I see. I don’t have Lauma yet but since I want to build a nod Krai team. I’m prob pulling for Columbina and then lauma and Nefer when they rerun.
No-Assignment24072026-01-20 06:49
I can not figure out how to play flins. I lost on his banner, and playing through his trial/having him as a trial character during Archon quests is truly useless for me because frankly, i just do not know what to do. Nefer is insanely fun for me though and i love her charged attacks when i have my moonsigns built up
CountLost3622026-01-20 09:28
I don't know why people feel that playing Never is clunky, (maybe mobile or controller issue). For me she feels very easy to play, I don't care much about dash/jump/walk cancels so it's just: use supports press E hold LMB repeat. It's powerful and easy gameplay, imo similar to Nouvilette play style, some may call it "brain-dead" but when you are overkilling everything to such a margin I find it very convenient.
yaysyu2026-01-20 10:59
Only have Flins. He's easy to use and deals a lot of damage. My only complaint is the nothing burger NAs between his special bursts. I know it's for energy, but it feels wrong doing those NAs dealing damage like Ayato.(No offense to Ayato)
Jealous_Somewhere3142026-01-20 12:03
Only have Nefer, kinda hated her aino team it was super clunky building and sustaining verdent dews. I’m in love with her team now with columbina, fixed a lot of the problems. Flins does seem cool tho, I’ve always enjoyed his gameplay when he’s available in story combat.
Dry-Intern5192026-01-20 13:58
Flins is more fun to me. I’ve been enjoying his gameplay a lot.
I don’t have Nefer but when using her in the trial it lead to the conclusion that she wasn’t really a character I would ever pull for. She just holds no interest to me.
Notkiller2026-01-20 21:56
You can use Flins without using your brain.
I still don't fully understand what gives those "Moons" so I can use Nefer abilities.
