Nahida, or Lesser Lord Kusanali, is the second Dendro Archon after Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who created Nahida from herself and a part of the Irminsul after the Cataclysm. Nahida was to continue the legacy of the original Wisdom goddess, but the Akademiya did not trust her. In Genshin, the sages imprisoned Nahida to steal part of her power and build a new god, but with a team comp with the Traveler, Dehya, and Alhaitham, the Akademiya did not succeed. Nahida is one of the first characters introduced to the Dendro element in the game, with which new elemental reactions appeared.
Best Build for Nahida in Genshin Impact
The goddess of Wisdom can use Elemental Mastery and translate it into Crit Damage for other characters, in addition to being able to mark multiple enemies simultaneously. Also, Nahida’s build adapts as a Sub-DPS/Support hybrid or as a fully Main DPS, depending on her team comp in Genshin Impact.
Weapons
Fortunately for Free-to-Play Genshin Impact players, Nahida can use 3-star to 5-star weapons, making her build more flexible. But among the best alternatives are:
| Sub-DPS – Support | Main DPS |
|---|---|
| 1. A Thousand Floating Dreams 2. Sacrificial Fragments 3. Magic Guide 4. Wandering Evenstar | 1. A Thousand Floating Dreams 2. Kagura’s Verity 3. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds 4. Solar Pearl |
Best Artifact Set
Her Elemental Burst provides a bonus to the active character inside it and the effectiveness of the team’s Dendro Reactions. The best for Nahida and her build is to use Dendro reactions and other Genshin Impact characters that apply more elements. Among the best artifacts for her are:
| Sub-DPS – Support | Main DPS |
|---|---|
| Deepwood Memories 4-Pieces: 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. Gilded Dreams 4-Pieces: Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and EM is increased by 50 for every member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field. | |
Best Team Comp for Nahida
Within the team compositions, the truth is that Nahida can work with various other characters and elements of Genshin Impact. This Wisdom Archon can be a Main DPS or a Sub-DPS, and the Dendro element can generate reactions like Quicke, Aggravate, and more. These are a few of the best teams for her:
| Off-Field | On-Field |
|---|---|
| Off-Field Hyperbloom Team: Main DPS: Alhaitham / Cyno / Neuvillette Sub-DPS: Nahida Sub-DPS: Yelan / Fischl / Shinobu Support: Shinobu / Xingqiu / Baizhu | On-Field Hyperbloom Team: Main DPS: Nahida Sub-DPS: Furina / Xingqiu Sub-DPS: Shinobu Support: Baizhu / Yaoyao |
| Off-Field Aggravate – Quicken Team: Main DPS: Alhaitham / Raiden / Cyno Sub-DPS: Nahida Sub-DPS: Yae Miko / Fischl Support: Zhongli / Kazuha / Baizhu | On-Field Quicken Team: Main DPS: Nahida Sub-DPS: Fischl Sub-DPS: Yae Miko / Beidou Support: Kazuha / Jean |
| Off-Field Burgeon Team: Main DPS: Ayato Sub-DPS: Nahida Sub-DPS: Thoma Support: Baizhu | On-Field Burgeon Team: Main DPS: Nahida Sub-DPS: Yelan Sub-DPS: Thoma Support: Kokomi |
In a Hyperbloom team, you should start applying Hydro before Nahida’s Burst and then marking the enemies around her skill. This will create the Dendro Core, where you can use Electro or Pyro to do more damage with the explosion. Beyond combat, Nahida’s skill allows you to collect plants near you and make collecting materials faster. Nahida is a great option in Genshin Impact, even more so if you have the necessary build and team comp.
