Genshin Impact 5★ Dendro Catalyst Sub DPS
Reliquary of Truth is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Nahida's kit multiplies Elemental Mastery, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. A Thousand Floating Dreams, Dawning Frost and Nightweaver's Looking Glass come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Nahida, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Deepwood Memories on Nahida, with Celestial Gift and Emblem of Severed Fate behind it. Main stats are Elemental Mastery sands, Dendro DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 50 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Nahida, Raiden Shogun, Kuki Shinobu and Thoma, built around Nahida: Dendro · Overload.
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 attacks that deal Dendro DMG to opponents in front of her.
Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal AoE Dendro DMG to opponents in front of her after a short casting time.
Plunging Attack Calling upon the might of Dendro, Nahida plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Dendro DMG upon impact with the ground.

Manifests the Court of Dreams and expands the Shrine of Maya.
When the Shrine of Maya field is unleashed, the following effects will be separately unleashed based on the Elemental Types present within the party. · Pyro: While Nahida remains within the Shrine of Maya, the DMG dealt by Tri-Karma Purification from "All Schemes to Know" is increased. · Electro: While Nahida remains within the Shrine of Maya, the interval between each Tri-Karma Purification from "All Schemes to Know" is decreased. · Hydro: The Shrine of Maya's duration is increased.
If there are at least 2 party members of the aforementioned Elemental Types present when the field is deployed, the aforementioned effects will be increased further.
Even if Nahida is not on the field, these bonuses will still take effect so long as party members are within the Shrine of Maya.
Perhaps all that dwell under the bowers of trees are naught but a fleeting upside-down dream in the eyes of the God of Wisdom.

C1When 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.
C2Opponents 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. CRIT Rate from this effect stacks with CRIT Rate from similar effects that allow these Elemental Reactions to CRIT. · Within 8s of being affected by Quicken, Aggravate, or Spread, DEF is decreased by 30%. · The CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG of Lunar-Bloom DMG received are increased by 10% and 20% respectively.
C3Increases the Level of All Schemes to Know by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4When 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.
C5Increases the Level of Illusory Heart by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6When 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.
Nahida's outfit. Only the oracles that interpret knowledge may robe the God of Wisdom, and so even the smallest ornament is viewed by believers as holy writ.

Nahida is a 5-star Dendro character from Sumeru who uses a catalyst, released in version 3.2.
Nahida's abilities multiply Elemental Mastery. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Reliquary of Truth is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star catalyst with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on Elemental Mastery. Dawning Frost is the best 4-star alternative.
Deepwood Memories. Its 2-piece bonus is: Dendro DMG Bonus +15%. Its 4-piece bonus is: 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.
Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Ingenuity among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
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.
