This is the definitive guide to building the strongest Nahida in Genshin Impact – optimized weapons, artifacts, talents, and team comps.
Nahida is one of the top Dendro characters in Genshin Impact, offering strong elemental support and damage capabilities.
When equipped and built properly, Nahida can enable powerful Dendro reactions in a variety of team compositions.
As a five-star catalyst user, Nahida has high Dendro application and damage potential. Her elemental skill marks opponents, connecting them with Dendro and triggering additional Dendro damage when reactions occur. Her burst provides buffs based on team composition while also boosting the active character’s elemental mastery.
This is Nahida’s complete character information:
