Nahida build summary

Updated August 28, 2026

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.

Nahida FAQ

3 questions

What stat does Nahida scale on?

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.

What is the best weapon for Nahida?

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.

Which artifact set should Nahida use?

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.
