Overview

  • Off-field Dendro damage
  • Elemental Mastery support

Nahida is the Dendro Archon and the most flexible Dendro support in the game. Her Elemental Skill marks enemies with the Seed of Skandha and links them together. After that, whenever a reaction happens on a marked enemy, she deals Dendro damage to every linked enemy, even while she is off the field. Her Elemental Burst creates the Shrine of Maya, which shares part of the highest Elemental Mastery in the party with the active character and strengthens her Skill based on the elements of her teammates.

Give her Elemental Mastery first, then crits. Her passive turns Elemental Mastery above a threshold into extra damage and CRIT Rate for her Skill, so stacking it is never wasted. She fits Bloom, Hyperbloom, Spread, Burning and Lunar-Bloom teams.

Weapons

Best first. Every catalyst on this list links to its page.

  1. A Thousand Floating Dreams ★★★★★

    Her signature catalyst. Huge Elemental Mastery for her and a smaller Elemental Mastery boost for the rest of the party.

  2. Nightweaver's Looking Glass ★★★★★

    Best in Lunar-Bloom teams. Once a teammate triggers Lunar-Bloom, it raises the whole party's Bloom, Hyperbloom and Lunar-Bloom damage. Outside those teams it is mostly an Elemental Mastery stat stick.

  3. Sacrificial Fragments ★★★★

    A high Elemental Mastery stat. Its Skill reset rarely matters, so think of it as a stat stick.

  4. Wandering Evenstar ★★★★

    Elemental Mastery plus an ATK buff for herself and the party based on that Elemental Mastery.

  5. Mappa Mare ★★★★

    Craftable at the Blacksmith. Elemental Mastery and an Elemental damage bonus whenever she triggers a reaction.

  6. Magic Guide ★★★

    An easy 3-star with a solid Elemental Mastery stat. Fine while you look for something better.

Artifact sets

  1. Deepwood Memories 4-piece

    Lowers enemy Dendro RES for the whole team. Use it when no other Dendro character in the team already wears it.

  2. Gilded Dreams 4-piece

    Better for her own damage when someone else wears Deepwood Memories. It adds a lot of Elemental Mastery in mixed-element teams.

  3. Deepwood Memories + Gilded Dreams 2-piece each

    Dendro damage plus Elemental Mastery. A fine stopgap while you farm either four-piece.

Teams

  • Hyperbloom

    Nahida and two Hydro characters create Dendro Cores, and Kuki Shinobu turns them into Hyperbloom while healing the team.

  • Alhaitham Spread

    Two off-field Electro sources keep enemies Quickened so Alhaitham triggers Spread. Nahida adds Dendro and shares her Elemental Mastery through the Shrine of Maya.

  • Lunar-Bloom

    Nefer deals the Lunar-Bloom damage, Lauma adds more Dendro support, and Columbina supplies the Hydro. Nahida adds steady off-field Dendro and Elemental Mastery.

Tips

  • Hold her Skill to mark enemies that are spread far apart. Every marked enemy is linked, so each trigger hits all of them.
  • Her Skill only damages marked enemies when a reaction happens on them, so she needs teammates who apply other elements.
  • Her Burst checks the elements of the party when it is cast. Pyro raises her Skill damage, Electro makes it fire more often, and Hydro extends the field.
  • Stack Elemental Mastery well past what other supports need. Her passive turns every point above 200 into extra damage and CRIT Rate for her Skill, up to a cap.

Other character guides recommend Nahida as a teammate in these teams.
