Nahida Artifacts Desc
Nahida is a great support and sub-DPS Dendro unit. Using a full 4-piece Deepwood Memories set increases the overall damage of your team by offering a Dendro damage bonus and reducing enemies’ Dendro resistance. This artifact is effective for both her DPS and support roles.
To boost her personal damage, the best option is the 4-piece Gilded Dreams set. It not only increases her personal damage but also raises the overall damage percentage for your team.
Another good option is the 4-piece Golden Troupe set, which increases Elemental Skill damage. If your Adventure Rank (AR) is below 45, you might consider the 4-piece Instructor set, which enhances support abilities in Elemental Reactions.
Nahida Weapons Desc
Nahida’s signature weapon is A Thousand Floating Dreams. It provides a large boost to Elemental Mastery and a bit of Base ATK, which helps increase overall team damage. This weapon is ideal for both her support and DPS roles.
Her second-best weapon is Kagura’s Verity, which offers significant boosts to Crit Rate, Base ATK, and Elemental DMG Bonus. It works very well for her on-field performance.
Other good weapon options include the 4-star Sacrificial Fragments and Wandering Evenstar, as well as the 3-star weapon Magic Guide.

Use Normal Skill. (Swap Back to Nahida)
Use Elemental Burst.
Repeat Again
Nahida’s main abilities involve a specific rotation for maximum effectiveness. First, use her Elemental Skill to mark enemies with Seed of Skandha. Next, switch to another party member to trigger elemental reactions. After that, swap back to Nahida and use her normal attacks. Then, activate her Elemental Burst. Repeat this 4-step rotation to get the best results from her abilities.
Nahida Overview
Nahida is a 5-star Dendro character in Genshin Impact who primarily uses a Catalyst weapon. She is a powerful Dendro support unit because of her Elemental Skill and Passive abilities. Her normal, charged, and plunging attacks deal Dendro damage to enemies.
Her Elemental Skill, “Seed of Skandha,” allows her to mark enemies at long range and deal Dendro damage to them all at once. You can activate this skill by holding or pressing a button for a quick attack. One of the great features is that she can mark up to 8 enemies at a time.
The “Seed of Skandha” skill not only deals Dendro damage but can also reapply Dendro and deal damage whenever you trigger an elemental reaction. This can happen up to once every 2.5 seconds, and there is no internal cooldown for this Dendro application.
Her Elemental Burst, “Illusory Heart,” boosts the effect of your Elemental Skills based on the elements (Pyro, Electro, and Hydro) present in your party. Her first passive ability, “Compassion Illuminated,” provides a significant Elemental Mastery boost to the active character when “Illusory Heart” is used.

Release: Deals Dendro DMG to the selected opponents and marks them with Seed of Skandha. Aiming Mode lasts up to 5 seconds and can select up to 8 opponents.
Seed of Skandha
Opponents marked with Seed of Skandha are linked to each other within a certain range. When you trigger Elemental Reactions on these opponents or when they take damage from Dendro Cores (including Burgeon and Hyperbloom damage), Tri-Karma Purification will be unleashed on the marked opponents and those linked to them. This deals Dendro damage based on her ATK and Elemental Mastery. Tri-Karma Purification can occur only once within a short period.
Elemental Burst
Illusory Heart
Unleashes the Court of Dreams and expands the Shrine of Maya field.
Effects Based on Elemental Types in the Party:
Pyro: While inside the Shrine of Maya, the damage dealt by Tri-Karma Purification from Seed of Skandha is increased.
Electro: While inside the Shrine of Maya, the cooldown between each Tri-Karma Purification is reduced.
Hydro: The duration of the Shrine of Maya is extended.
If at least 2 party members with the mentioned Elemental Types are present when the field is activated, these effects are further enhanced.
These bonuses apply even if Nahida is not on the field, as long as party members remain within the Shrine of Maya.
