Ines
Reconnaissance Specialist
Single-target Physical DPS · Stealth Operator
Overview
Ines is the highest single-target physical DPS in the launch roster. Her gimmick: while in Stealth (auto-triggered when out of combat for 1s), her next shot deals 380% ATK and crits automatically. She breaks Stealth on firing, then re-enters 4 seconds later — which is fast enough that she gets one guaranteed crit every 6 seconds in a normal boss fight.
Kit & Skills speculation
Passive — Phantom Shot: enters Stealth after 1s without firing; next shot is a guaranteed crit at 380% ATK. Skill 1 — Suppressing Volley: 5-round burst, last round refreshes Stealth instantly. Skill 2 — Recon Mark: tags a target for 8s, ignoring 30% of its physical RES for the entire squad. Ult — Killshot: massive single-target damage equal to 1100% ATK, crits guaranteed.
Recommended Build speculation
Stat priority: ATK% > Physical DMG% > Crit DMG > Crit Rate (her passive guarantees most crits, so crit rate has diminishing returns past 30%). Weapon: Specter Mk.III. Module: Recon Network (Recon Mark also reduces target movement speed by 30%).
Synergies speculation
Ines is the best pairing for Chen Qianyu — their physical-RES shreds stack to nearly 50%. Pair both with Wulfgard + Endmin for the canonical "physical burst" team.
Verdict speculation
Pull if you don't have Chen Qianyu, or as a second 6★ if you already do. Stays meta through patch 1.4 based on CN data.
