Nahida Overview

Rarity: 5-Stars ｜ Element: Electro ｜ Weapon: Polearm

Nahida is a top–tier Dendro character in Genshin Impact, excelling as both a Sub-DPS and Support. She provides reliable on-field and off-field damage while consistently applying Dendro to enable powerful reactions. Her Elemental Skill’s long-lasting mark ensures enemies remain afflicted, allowing the team to deal sustained damage, and her Elemental Burst further buffs allies during combat.

Compared to other Dendro characters, Nahida stands out for her versatility. She fits seamlessly intoQuicken, Hyperbloom, and many other reaction teams. Thanks to her flexible kit and strong utility, she has become one of the core pillars of any Dendro-based strategy.

Nahida's Strengths

  • Best Dendro applicator with strong off-field damage, especially at C2.
  • Converts Elemental Mastery into CRIT stats, making her both a DPS and support.
  • Elemental Skill lasts long, with a short cooldown.
  • Marks can stay on enemies through every rotation.
  • Elemental Burst gives big EM bonus, boosting Dendro reactions.
  • Skill helps collect overworld materials easily.

Nahida's Weaknesses

  • Needs to reapply marks when facing waves of enemies.
  • Low base HP, making her fragile, especially in Bloom teams.

Lunar-Bloom Buff in Version 6.0

Ineffa first appeared in version 5.8, and starting from version 6.0, characters from the Nod-Krai region introduced a brand-new reaction: Lunar-Bloom.

Advantages

More Damage Multipliers:

  • Regular transformative reactions only scale with level coefficient + Elemental Mastery bonus + specific reaction buffs.
  • Lunar-Charged adds CRIT multipliers (CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG), more sources in the base damage category (such as skill multipliers or unique talents), and stackable reaction bonuses.

Unique Direct-Damage Lunar-Charged:

  • Triggered by Ineffa’s talent, it combines direct skill multipliers with the Lunar-Charged reaction formula.
  • For the first time, transformative reaction damage directly ties into character skill scaling, creating new gameplay possibilities.

Significant Damage Increase:

Although its multiplier (1.8) is slightly lower than regular Electro-Charged (2.0), thanks to CRIT scaling and multi-character weighting, overall damage numbers are much higher.

Drawbacks

Lower trigger frequency compared to regular Electro-Charged, leading to weaker shield-breaking.

Requires specific team setups (at least both Hydro and Electro characters).

Nahida’s role remains providing high-coverage Dendro application and team buffs. Although Lunar-Charged itself is a Hydro-Electro reaction, Nahida can support “hybrid teams,” allowing reactions likeAggravate and Hyperbloom to coexist with Lunar-Charged, increasing overall flexibility and damage potential.

Talent Priority

Based on Nahida's combat role(Sub-DPS and Support), the recommended skill upgrade priority is:

Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack

When Nahida as theDPS in the team, the recommended skill upgrade priority is:

Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst

Best Weapons

Nahida converts EM into CRIT with her Elemental Skill, so stacking EM is key. Her signature weapon, A Thousand Floating Dreams, is best, but any EM- or CRIT-boosting weapon—like Kagura’s Verity, Sacrificial Fragments, or even the 3-star Magic Guide—works well.

Best Choice

A Thousand Floating Dreams

Base ATK: 542

Bonus Stat: Elemental Mastery 265

Skill Effect: The wielder gains buffs based on party members’ elements: +32 EM if they share the same element, or +10% Elemental DMG Bonus if different (up to 3 stacks). All nearby allies also gain +40 EM.

In addition to her signature weapon, Kagura's Verity, several other weapons also synergize well with Nahida:

Alt Weapons

Kagura's Verity

Sacrificial Fragments

Base ATK: 454

Bonus Stat: Elemental Mastery 221

Best Artifact Sets

Nahida primarily scales off Elemental Mastery (EM), while also providing substantial Dendro application. This makes sets that boost Dendro damage or EM especially effective, as her Elemental Skill converts EM efficiently into CRIT stats. She often carries the 4-pieceDeepwood Memories set for the team; while this set is almost indispensable once acquired, Gilded Dreams and Golden Troupe can serve as effective alternatives in the meantime.

Best Choice

Deepwood Memories

2-PC: Dendro DMG Bonus +15%
4-PC: After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets' Dendro RES will be decreased by 30% for 8s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.

Alt

Gilded Dreams

2-PC: Elemental Mastery +80
4-PC: Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, gain buffs based on party members’ elements: +14% ATK for each member sharing the same element, +50 EM for each with a different element (up to 3). Can trigger once every 8s, even off-field.

Golden Troupe

2-PC: Elemental Skill DMG +20%
4-PC: Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 25%. Additionally when not on the field, Elemental Skill DMG will be further increased by 25%. This effect will be cleared 2s after taking the field.

For Main Stats and Sub Stats, players should prioritize these main stats and sub-stats for Nahida:

Main Stats

Sands: Elemental Mastery

Goblet: Elemental Mastery / Dendro DMG Bonus

Circlet: Elemental Mastery / CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

Sub Stats

Energy Recharge > CRIT Rate > Crit DMG > Elemental Mastery > ATK%

Recommended endgame stat

ER

~120-150%+

EM

~900-1000+

Pulling Recommendations

Recommended Constellations

C2: Burning, Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reactions can deal critical damage. Enemy DEF is decreased when triggering Quicken, Aggravate, or Spread.

Nahida, even at C0 is still one of the best units to get. Pulling for C2 in the 6.0 rerun banner provides a significant power spike and is highly cost-effective. C2 marks a key breakpoint for this character, greatly boosting team damage and rotation efficiency—making it a strong long-term investment. Compared to lower constellations, C2 not only offers higher numbers but also noticeably improves gameplay fluidity, making it one of the most valuable targets in the 6.0 rerun.

Best Teams

Nahida’s Team Role and Strategy After Version 6.0

Dendro “All-Round Support”: Nahida’s core remains high-coverage Dendro application plus team buffs (Elemental Mastery boosts and Burst support).

In Lunar-Charged teams, although Dendro isn’t the direct trigger for the reaction, Nahida can:

  • Provide additional reactions (such as Aggravate or Hyperbloom), increasing overall team damage.
  • Offer stat boosts, stabilizing the damage of Ineffa and Electro characters.
  • Cover downtime in the team, making Burst rotations smoother and more consistent.
