Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
So far, Archons inGenshin Impacthave not been disappointing. Venti is still a top-tier crowd controller, Zhongli is thebest shielder inGenshin Impact, and Raiden Shogun is a tremendously powerful Sub-DPS and battery. Sadly, while many expect Nahida to take a whole new role, she, like Raiden, is also a Sub-DPS.
For the Dendro Archon to become a powerful Sub-DPS, players must be familiar withNahida’s best buildinGenshin Impact.
Updated on Jul 16, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Nahida has become a game changer in Genshin Impact ever since she was released. Thanks to her versatility and balance between great damage and excellent buff, she’s a must-have in almost every Dendro-reactions team. Not much has changed since her initial release, but players can now pair her with more characters and focus more on her Elemental Skill DMG. To include these new informations, this article is updated to expand what players need to know about tjhe best Nahida build in Genshin Impact.
The best build for Nahida inGenshin Impacthighly relies on her team compositionand how good players’ artifacts are. To put it simply,Nahida has an obvious diminishing return, so Travelers must consider all sorts of stat buffs from Nahida’s team before determining her best build.
This is because Nahida’s fourth-ascension passive (A4) allows her to buff her Skill DMG based on her Elemental Mastery (EM), but this is only effective until 1000 EM. After reaching 1000, Elemental Mastery will slowly perform worse compared to other stats like Crit and Dendro DMG. Therefore, the first thing people should remember is tokeep Nahida at the maximum of 1000 EM after calculating all possible buffs.
Remember not to go overboard with the Elemental Mastery stat. For Nahida best build, balance is the key.
Players can also keep Nahida at 1000 EM to maximize the buff granted by her A1, where she transfers 25% of the highest party member’s Elemental Mastery (up to 250 EM) to the active character inside her Elemental Burst.
Nahida Best Artifact In Genshin Impact
The best artifacts for Nahida inGenshin Impactdepend on whether any of the teammates is going to use Deepwood Memories. If there is no one using4pc Deepwood Memories, thenthis artifact should be prioritized, but if someone already uses Deepwood Memories, then Nahida can go with4pc Gilded Dreams. If neither set is available, then you may mix 2pc artifact sets that grant 80 Elemental Mastery or mix the EM set with 2pc Deepwood Memories.
In case Nahida is part of Nilou team comps, players can either go with4pc Deepwood Memoriesto debuff enemies against the Dendro Cores or, in case Nahida was operating as the main DPS in such a team, players canopt to use4pc Flower of Paradise Loston Nahida to insanely boost her Dendro Cores DMG. Those who wish to opt for a less traditional build can also go for4pc Golden Troupeto maximize her Skill damage.
As for the main stat,Elemental Mastery is generally more favored, but since each combination only has a slight difference, players shoulduse the artifact with the best sub-stat.
Nahida Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
The best build for Nahida inGenshin Impactwill requireA Thousand Floating Dreamsas her weapon. But, for those who don’t own herbestGenshin ImpactCatalyst, there are other excellent weapons for Nahida likeKagura’s Verity,Tulaytullah’s Remembrance,Solar Pearl,The Widsith, andLost Prayer To The Sacred Winds.Skyward Atlasis also decent for Nahida’s personal damage, although the multiple ATK boost falls short in Quicken teams.
For F2P Nahida weapons,Genshin Impactplayers can useMappa Mare, especially if they can ensure Nahida continuously triggers Elemental Reactions.Hakushin Ringis also excellent for buffing Quicken teams. Other than that, you can useWandering Evenstar,Sacrificial Fragments,Blackcliff Agate, orMagic Guide.
Best Characters To Pair With Nahida In Genshin Impact
Nahida is one of the most versatile characters inGenshin Impactbecause of how easily she can apply Dendro while off-field. Her Elemental Skill isn’t always rewarding, but in most cases, it’s extremely useful, mainly since it always follows a reaction with anotherDendro reaction inGenshin Impact. For that, many characters synergize well with Nahida and can create strong combos to storm every fight.
Anemo users who have a strong abilityto keep applying Anemo and trigger reactions with Electro/Pyro/Hydro will continuously trigger Nahida’s Dendro application.Alhaitham, Tighnari,andKavehcan all count on Nahida to hold Deepwood Memories and easily trigger its effect on all enemies. As for Electro, characters likeBeidou,Fischl,Kuki Shinobu, andYae Mikocan synergize greatly with Nahida by creating strong off-field Quicken, Aggravate, and Spread reactions. On the other hand,Cyno,Keqing, andRaiden Shogunare a force to be reckoned with when the Dendro Archon is by their side. Finally, Hydro characters likeXingqiu,Nilou,Ayato,Kokomi,Tartaglia, andYelancan greatly benefit from the amount of Dendro attacks Nahida can produce, allowing them to continuously create Dendro Cores.
