Notes

Aino can offer Off-Field Hydro application with her Burst. She does not possess a Moon Wheel, and cannot contribute to Lunar-Reactions as the sole member in the team from Nod-Krai. Aino's scalings are pitifully low, thus, her damage investment is not a priority.

Aino's [C4] gives her 10 Energy upon landing her Skill on an enemy, effectively changing her Burst cost from 50 to 40. This has a cooldown of 10 seconds.

Aino's A1 talent allows her Burst to attack more frequently and have a larger AoE DMG if Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam is active. This requires 2 or more Nod-Krai characters in the party. Aino herself counts towards this.

Regarding Weapon Choices:

Favonius Greatsword: Try to build some CRIT Rate if using this weapon to trigger the passive consistently.
Makhaira Aquamarine: If the team does not benefit from the ATK% buff, this weapon is not worth using.
Flame-Forged Insight: If Aino cannot trigger the specified Elemental Reactions, this weapon is not worth using. This weapon does not need to be leveled if you do not care about Aino's personal damage.
Master Key: Refinements for this weapon are not needed if you do not care about Aino's personal damage.

Regarding Artifact Choices:

Aino's artifact choices are very interchangeable depending on the team that she is in and what that team desires. You can choose sets based on your team's energy needs, buffing needs or based on what member holds what artifact set from the list.

Aino does not deal a significant amount of damage, so her mainstats are not very important beyond fulfilling Energy Recharge requirements.
