Genshin Impact Navia Build Guide: Best Weapons, Artifacts, Team Comps, and More

Navia, the 5-star Geo Claymore character in Genshin Impact, excels as a burst DPS or on-field damage dealer, leveraging Crystallize reactions to amplify her Elemental Skill. This guide covers optimal builds, team synergies, and key tips to maximize her potential.  

1. Skills Priority  

- Elemental Skill (E) > Normal Attack > Elemental Burst (Q)  

  - Elemental Skill (E): Navia’s core damage source. It consumes "Shard Shrapnel" stacks (max 6) to unleash Rose Shrapnel Bullets, dealing massive Geo DMG. Prioritize maxing this skill.  

  - Normal Attack: Gains a 40% DMG boost and Geo infusion after using her Elemental Skill. Level this for sustained on-field DPS.  

  - Elemental Burst (Q): Provides periodic AoE Geo DMG and generates Shard Shrapnel. Upgrade last due to lower damage scaling.  

2. Weapon Recommendations  

Best-in-Slot  

- Tidal Shadow (5★): Navia’s signature weapon, offering CRIT Rate, Elemental Skill DMG bonus, and ATK buffs.  

- Serpent Spine (4★): High CRIT Rate and DMG stacking passive. Competitive with 5★ options at higher refinements.  

Alternatives  

- Wolf’s Gravestone (5★): Boosts ATK and team-wide buffs.  

- Beacon of the Reed Sea (5★): Strong CRIT Rate and DMG buffs, ideal for shieldless teams.  

- Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword (4★): F2P-friendly, grants ATK% and bonus DMG.  

3. Artifacts  

Best Sets  

- Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods (4pc): Enhances Geo DMG and ATK, perfect for Navia’s playstyle.  

- Golden Troupe (4pc): Boosts Elemental Skill DMG by 70% for burst-focused builds.  

Main Stats  

- Sands: ATK%  

- Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus  

- Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG  

- Substats: Prioritize CRIT > ATK% > Energy Recharge (~120-140% ER).  

4. Team Compositions  

Navia thrives in teams that generate consistent Crystallize shields. Key synergies include:  

Dual Geo + Pyro/Hydro  

- Navia + Zhongli/Albedo + Bennett + Xiangling:  

  - Zhongli/Albedo provides Geo resonance and shields.  

  - Bennett and Xiangling boost ATK and enable Pyro Crystallize.  

Dual Geo + Hydro  

- Navia + Furina + Yelan/Xingqiu + Healer (Charlotte):  

  - Furina and Yelan/Xingqiu enable Hydro Crystallize and off-field DMG.  

  - Charlotte ensures team survivability.  

Speedrun Burst Team  

- Navia + Raiden Shogun + Kazuha + Bennett:  

  - Raiden buffs Energy Recharge for burst uptime.  

  - Kazuha groups enemies and shreds resistances.  

5. Talent & Ascension Materials  

Ascension Materials  

- Lv. 90:  

  - Prithiva Topaz ×6 (Geo Gemstones)  

  - Spring of Pure Sacred Dewdrop ×46 (from Icewind Suite boss)  

  - Rainbow Rose ×168 (found in Fontaine).  

Talent Materials  

- Fairness-series books (Monday/Thursday/Sunday domain).  

- Lightless Silk String (weekly boss drop from All-Devouring Narwhal).  

6. Constellations  

- C1: Reduces Elemental Burst CD and restores Energy, improving rotation fluidity.  

- C2: Grants up to 36% CRIT Rate for Elemental Skill.  

- C6: Refunds Shard Shrapnel after using E, enabling rapid burst combos.  

Final Tips
