Best artifacts for Nahida in Genshin Impact
The four-piece set of Deepwood Memories will always be Nahida's best in-slot option in Genshin Impact. However, the artifacts' main stats and sub-stats priorities may differ depending on how the player wants to play her.
The bonus effects of the four-piece Deepwood Memories set are as follows:
- Two-piece: Dendro DMG +15%
- Four-piece: 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.
For a sub-DPS and support role, one should aim for Elemental Mastery as the main stat on Sands, Goblet, and Circlet. Similar to Kazuha, Nahida should also have 800 to 1000 EM.
However, if Genshin Impact players are looking to build the Dendro Archon as their main DPS unit, they can go for the regular build with CRIT stats while stacking up some EM and Energy Recharge in the sub-stats.
Best weapon options for Nahida in Genshin Impact
1) A Thousand Floating Dreams
A Thousand Floating Dreams is Nahida's signature Catalyst and also her best in-slot option in Genshin Impact. She gains a good amount of Elemental Mastery from its stats. Additionally, the weapon provides a couple of other buffs from its passive, depending on the elements of her party members.
2) Kagura's Verity
Kagura's Verity is a great weapon option for Nahida if she is being used as the main DPS unit. Since both her Normal Attacks and Elemental Skill can do CRIT damage, it would be better to use an item like this one when she is on-field most of the time.
3) The Widsith
Similar to the previous entry, The Widsith provides a lot of CRIT DMG and is a great F2P option for a main DPS Nahida. She can also gain three different buffs, including EM, ATK, and Elemental DMG bonuses from the weapon's passive, which can be extremely useful to her.
4) Sacrificial Fragments
Sacrificial Fragments is a four-star weapon that provides a decent amount of EM from its stats, which makes it a good option for sub-DPS and support Nahida.
