Genshin Impact Nahida Best Builds and Teams

Genshin Impact Nahida Best Builds and Teams

Looking to optimize Nahida in Genshin Impact? This guide breaks down her best builds, weapon options, artifact sets, stat priorities, and top team compositions.

Nahida: Role, Strengths, and Build Overview

Nahida excels as a Dendro support / sub‑DPS whose kit revolves around enabling elemental reactions and buffing teammates. Her passive allows her to share Elemental Mastery with the active character, making her especially potent in reaction‑based teams.

Depending on your team needs and constellation level, Nahida can either act off‑field (pure support / reaction enabler) or on‑field (leaning into DPS). Her best builds emphasize Elemental Mastery (EM), Energy Recharge, and secondary Crit stats where possible.

Best Weapons for Nahida

1A Thousand Floating DreamsHer signature 5★ weapon – high synergy with her kit and boosts her DPS and support capabilities.
2Kagura’s VerityA solid alternative for boosting elemental damage when Floating Dreams isn’t available.
3Lost Prayer to the Sacred WindsGood all‑rounder for boosting crits if you shift Nahida toward on‑field play.
4The Widsith, Mappa Mare, Magic Guide (4★)Budget or filler options; use as you have until you can upgrade.

Artifact Sets & Stat Priorities

Artifact Sets

  • Deepwood Memories (4‑piece) – This is considered nearly mandatory for Nahida in most reaction setups.
  • Gilded Dreams or Golden Troupe – Viable alternatives if Deepwood isn’t available, especially in mixed‑element teams.

Main Stats & Substats

  • Sands (Hourglass): Elemental Mastery
  • Goblet: Dendro Damage Bonus or Elemental Mastery
  • Circlet: Crit Rate / Crit DMG or Elemental Mastery
  • Substats (priority):
    1. Elemental Mastery
    2. Crit Rate / Crit DMG
    3. Energy Recharge
    4. ATK% (less priority)
  • Goal values: ~800+ EM is a common target; Energy Recharge roughly 110–130% or more depending on your support battery.

Talent Priority

  • Support / Sub‑DPS setup:
    1. Elemental Skill (highest)
    2. Elemental Burst
    3. Normal Attack
  • If using Nahida on-field more aggressively (with constellations or heavy investment):
    Spread investment more evenly, though Skill and Burst remain core.

Best Team Compositions for Nahida

Nahida shines in teams built around Dendro reactions, particularly Quicken / Aggravate, Hyperbloom, Bloom, and Burgeon.

Here are a few sample comps:

1. Hyperbloom / Quicken Core Team

  • Nahida (support / sub-DPS)
  • Xingqiu (Hydro / sub-DPS)
  • Kuki Shinobu (Electro + healing / reaction trigger)
  • A Dendro battery or on-field DPS (if available)
    This lineup focuses on producing Dendro cores and then using Electro to trigger Hyperbloom.

2. Bloom / Nilou Bloom Team

  • Nahida
  • Nilou (Hydro / bloom applicator)
  • Lauma (synergy with bloom mechanics)
  • Kokomi or Baizhu (healing + additional support)
    This comp leans into Bloom and especially Bountiful Bloom when curated well.

3. Spread / Aggravate Team

  • Nahida
  • An Electro DPS (e.g. Raiden Shogun)
  • A Hydro sub or battery
  • Flexible support (shield, healer or elemental buffer)
    Nahida helps maintain Dendro aura, enabling Spread and Aggravate when paired with Electro.

4. Burgeon / Mixed Reaction Team

  • Nahida
  • Pyro or Hydro DPS
  • Reaction support
  • Healer or shielder
    This uses Burgeon to handle multi‑enemy waves.

Tips & Final Thoughts

  • Don’t overspend on crit or ATK if your EM is too low, EM is still core for reaction damage and buffs.
  • Energy Recharge is crucial so Nahida can cast her Burst reliably.
  • Experiment with on‑field vs off‑field roles based on your constellation and team.
  • Use reaction types flexibly depending on the enemy or domain.
