Genshin Impact Nahida Talents and Playstyle
Skill Talents
After the release of the new Dendro element, one complaint the player base had was the lack of a consistent Dendro applier. Nahida seems to be designed based on this lack with her providing consistent Dendro application both on and off-field.
The most essential part of Nahida’s entire kit is her elemental Skill All Schemes to Know which deals damage and marks opponents with Seeds of Skandha which links the enemy together and procs the Tri Karma purification after triggering an elemental reaction to deal damage as well as apply Dendro on the enemy. Her Elemental Burst Illusory Heart creates a massive domain around her called the Shrine of Maya. The Burst also has unique buffs based on the elemental type of your party member.
- Pyro: While Nahida remains within the Shrine of Maya, the DMG dealt by Tri-Karma Purification is increased.
- Electro: While Nahida remains within the Shrine of Maya, the interval between each Tri-Karma Purification is decreased.
- Hydro: The Shrine of Maya’s duration is increased.
Passive Talents
Nahida’s passive talents make her even more of an Elemental Mastery dependeth character with her passive one Compassion Illuminated providing Elemental Mastery buff to the whole team based on the highest mount of Elemental Mastery possessed by either Nahida or any of her teammates. Her second Passive Awakening Elucidated increases the crit rate (Up to 24%) and damage bonus (Up to 80%) of the Tri Karma Purification based on the Elemental Mastery she possesses beyond 200.
Constellation
Nahida has access to some petty strong Constellation with her C2 being an amazing all-rounded Con as it allows not only her but the whole team that relies on Burning, Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon Reaction a pretty significant boost in damage.
| Nahida’s Constellations | |
| C1 | The Seed of Stored Knowledge: When the Shrine of Maya is unleashed and the Elemental Types of the party members are being tabulated, the count will add 1 to the number of Pyro, Electro, and Hydro characters respectively. |
| C2 | The Root of All Fullness: Opponents that are marked by Seeds of Skandha applied by Nahida herself will be affected by the following effects:· Burning, Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon Reaction DMG they receive can score CRIT Hits. CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG are fixed at 20% and 100% respectively.· Within 8s of being affected by Quicken, Aggravate, and Spread, DEF is decreased by 30%. |
| C3 | The Shoot of Conscious Attainment: Increases the Level of All Schemes to Know by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C4 | The Stem of Manifest Inference: When 1/2/3/4 (or more) nearby opponents are affected by All Schemes to Know‘s Seeds of Skandha, Nahida’s Elemental Mastery will be increased by 100/120/140/160. |
| C5 | The Leaves of Enlightening Speech: Increases the Level of Illusory Heart by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C6 | The Fruit of Reason’s Culmination: When Nahida hits an opponent affected by All Schemes to Know‘s Seeds of Skandha with Normal or Charged Attacks after unleashing Illusory Heart, she will use Tri-Karma Purification: Karmic Oblivion on this opponent and all connected opponents, dealing Dendro DMG based on 200% of Nahida’s ATK and 400% of her Elemental Mastery.DMG dealt by Tri-Karma Purification: Karmic Oblivion is considered Elemental Skill DMG and can be triggered once every 0.2s. This effect can last up to 10s and will be removed after Nahida has unleashed 6 instances of Tri-Karma Purification: Karmic Oblivion.” |
Best Artifact Sets for Nahida in Genshin Impact
1. Gilded Dream

Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field. |
2. Deepwood Memories
The 4-piece Deepwood Memory set is a must-have set for any team that has Dendro DPS or relies on Bloom Reaction as it reduces the Dendro resistance of the enemy by 30%. If none of her party members is using this set then it is better to go for Deepwood 4-piece than any other Artifact set.
