Aino kit

Aino is a 4-Star Hydro character who uses a claymore, and keeping in mind that all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills, here's a summary of Aino' kit in Genshin Impact:

• Element: Hydro.
• Rarity: 4-Star.
• Weapon: Claymore.
• Normal Attack: Bish-Bash-Bosh Repair
• Elemental Skill: Musecatcher
• Elemental Burst: Precision Hydronic Cooler
• Passive one: Modular Efficiency Protocol - Aino is granted the corresponding buff effects based on the party's Moonsign.
• Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam - Her Elemental Burst Precision Hydronic Cooler is enhanced: The Cool Your Jets Ducky will fire water balls more frequently, and the water balls will deal AOE Hydro damage over a larger area of effect.
• Passive two: Structured Power Booster - Aino's Elemental Burst damage is increased by 50% of her Elemental Mastery.
• Passive three: Moonsign Benediction: Force Limit Analysis - When Aino is in the party, the party's Moonsign will increase by one level.
• Passive four: Miniaturized Detection Sensor - Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Nod-Krai on the mini-map. Additionally, Aino appears to be able to alter the Cool Your Jets Ducky's appearance in some way...

Aino Normal Attack - Bish-Bash-Bosh Repair

Aino performs up to three consecutive spear strikes if tapping the normal attack button. Holding it down drains Stamina over time to perform a continuous spinning attack on nearby opponents, which ends with a powerful slash attack.

As with most plunging attacks, Aino strikes the ground below dealing AOE (area of effect) damage upon impact, and damaging any enemies caught on her path to the ground.

Aino Elemental Skill - Musecatcher

Aino throws a Musecatcher forward and deals Hydro damage while being dragged behind it. When the dragging stops, Aino deals AOE Hydro damage to nearby opponents. Holding the Skill button down will cause this attack to behave differently though! Aino enter 'Aiming Mode' and be able to adjust the Musecatcher's throwing direction.

Aino Elemental Burst - Precision Hydronic Cooler

Aino deploys a custom water-spraying device, the Cool Your Jets Ducky, to establish a Focused Hydronic Cooling Zone. While active, the Cool Your Jets Ducky will periodically fire water balls at nearby opponents, dealing Hydro damage.

Aino Talent materials

To get the most out of using Aino, you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.

For Aino, you'll need to farm a lot of Shaft and Elysium materials (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade her capabilities.

As Aino has three Talents, you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities, which we've also detailed below the table.

Here's what Aino Talent materials you need to improve one of her abilities:

Aino Ascension materials

Just like Talents, you need to use Aino Ascension materials to upgrade her health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness.

You'll need to farm a lot of Portable Bearing and Shaft materials for Aino (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade her capabilities.

Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Aino to her highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.

Here's what Aino Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level:

Aino Ascension level	Aino Ascension materials	Mora cost	Ascension reward
Level 20	x1 Varunada Lazurite Sliver, x3 Portable Bearing, x3 Broken Drive Shaft	20,000	x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 40	x3 Varunada Lazurite Fragment, x2 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die, x10 Portable Bearing, x15 Broken Drive Shaft	40,000	None
Level 50	x6 Varunada Lazurite Fragment, x4 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die, x20 Portable Bearing, x12 Reinforced Drive Shaft	60,000	x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 60	x3 Varunada Lazurite Chunk, x8 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die, x30 Portable Bearing, x18 Reinforced Drive Shaft	80,000	None
Level 70	x6 Varunada Lazurite Chunk, x12 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die, x45 Portable Bearing, x12 Precision Drive Shaft	100,000	x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 80	x6 Varunada Lazurite Gemstone, x20 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die, x60 Portable Bearing, x24 Precision Drive Shaft	120,000	None

In total, here's all the Ascension Materials you need for Aino in Genshin Impact:

• x1 Varunada Lazurite Sliver
• x6 Varunada Lazurite Gemstone
• x9 Varunada Lazurite Fragment
• x9 Varunada Lazurite Chunk
• x18 Broken Drive Shaft
• x30 Reinforced Drive Shaft
• x36 Precision Drive Shaft
• x46 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die
• x168 Portable Bearing
• 420,000 Mora

Once again, this is leaked beta information, so Aino's materials could change upon her official release.

Aino Constellations

By getting duplicates of Aino from pulling on Banners, you will receive her Stella Fortuna. This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability.

Here are all of Aino's Constellations in Genshin Impact:

• The Theory of Ash–Field Equilibrium (C1): After Aino uses her Elemental Skill or her Elemental Burst, her Elemental Mastery will be increased by 80. The Elemental Mastery of nearby active party members will be increased by 80 for 15 seconds.The Elemental Mastery-increasing effects of this Constellation do not stack.
• The Principle of Transference in Gear Differentials (C2): If Aino is off-field while the Focused Hydronic Cooling Zone of her Elemental Burst 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 damage equal to 25% of Aino's attack and 100% of her Elemental Mastery. This damage is considered Elemental Burst damage. This effect can be triggered once every five seconds.
• Cake and the Art of Mechanism Repair (C3): Increases the Level of Aino's Elemental Burst by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
• Butter and Cats and the Law of Energy Supply (C4): When the Elemental Skill hits an opponent, it will restore 10 Elemental Energy for Aino. Energy can be restored to her in this manner once every 10 seconds.
• Perpetual Turbine of Metal and Light (C5): Increases the Level of Aino's Elemental Skill by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
• The Burden of Creative Genius (C6): For the next 15 seconds after using the Elemental Burst, damage from nearby active characters' Electro-Charged, Bloom, Lunar-Charged, and Lunar-Bloom reactions is increased by 15%. Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: Damage from the aforementioned reactions will be further increased by 20%.

Good luck levelling up Aino in Genshin Impact!
