Talent Priority
For Aino, Skip Leveling Talents is the kit's main payoff — level this first toward 10.
Aino follow-up talent: Elemental Burst supports the main damage/support loop.
Lowest ROI on Aino. Level Elemental Skill only after the rest of the kit is comfortable.
Substat Priority
To put it simply, use Aino's Skill > Burst > Swap characters. Aino is a very easy to play as a support but you should also make sure to consider that Precision Hydronic Cooler's AoE and fire rate is increased with Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam. Therefore depending on how many Nod-Krai characters are in yo

Talents & Constellations
Talents
Aino performs a sequence of Claymore-based Normal Attacks.
Aino throws a Musecatcher forward, dealing Hydro DMG and dragging her along behind it. When the dragging stops, Aino deals AoE Hydro DMG to nearby opponents. Holding the Skill will cause it to behave differently. Hold Enter Aiming Mode to adjust the Musecatcher's throwing direction.
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 DMG.
Constellations
After Aino uses her Elemental Skill Musecatcher or her Elemental Burst Precision Hydronic Cooler, her Elemental Mastery will be increased by 80. The Elemental Mastery of other nearby active party members will be increased by 80 for 15s.

If Aino is off-field while the Focused Hydronic Cooling Zone of her Elemental Burst Precision Hydronic Cooler 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 DMG equal to 25% of Aino's ATK and 100% of her Elemental Mastery. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 5s.

Alternatives to Aino
Not sure Aino is right for you? Compare against other characters to find your best pull.
Where Sigewinne goes hard is Rebound Hydrotherapy: it restores HP to all nearby party members except Sigewinne herself. Pick Sigewinne when you want Healer duty instead of Aino's Support pattern.
Where Dahlia goes hard is Immersive Ordinance: it summons the Sacramental Shower in different ways depending on whether you Tap or Hold it. That's a Shield Support answer, while Aino is built as a Support.
Where Mona goes hard is Stellaris Phantasm: it supports a Main DPS by using her Elemental Burst, Stellaris Phantasm, to apply Omen through the. Same Hydro Support neighborhood as Aino (Musecatcher: deals AoE Hydro DMG to nearby opponents), with different field-time and supports.
Where Nilou goes hard is Dance of Haftkarsvar: it deals Hydro damage to nearby opponents, using Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills allowing you to. Competes with Aino for the same seat; the better fit is the kit your roster already feeds.
