If you want to discover Nahida's best builds, this is your place!


She is the vessel of Lesser Lord Kusanali, the current Dendro Archon. Having been freed from her extensive confinement in the Sanctuary of Surasthana, she now strives to have a stronger presence in Sumeru.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata created Sumeru's rainforest and bestowed wisdom upon the people of Sumeru through the Akademiya. Despite her departure long ago, her name is still praised in the stories told in every household in Sumeru.

3. Support build: Wanderer’s Troupe and Gilded Dreams

Wanderer's Troupe is an Artifact Set available at 4-star and 5-star rarities which can be obtained from Bosses at World Level 2. 

The 2-Piece Bonus of Wanderer’s Troupe increases Elemental Mastery by 80 and its 4-Piece Bonus increases Charged Attacks by 35% if the character uses a catalyst or a bow.

This build is perfect for Spiral Abyss since you can recharge energy really fast for Elemental Reactions to surpass Spiral Abyss’ floors successfully.

This build excels in:

  • For Nahida, this set will increase Elemental Reactions and her attacks, so she’s a perfect DPS with this one and a perfect support.
  • Since this set just increases Elemental Reactions’ DMG, you can’t really deal DMG with normal attacks. So, we recommend focusing on those reactions more than attacking with normal attacks.
  • Since this set is focused on reactions, it’s perfect for big bosses or Abyss. In these places, elemental reactions are very important because they’re what deal more DMG!

Build main stats:

  • Flower: HP
  • Plume: Flat ATK
  • Sand: EM
  • Goblet: Dendro DMG/EM Bonus
  • Circlet: EM/Crit DMG/ Crit Rate

Artifact sub-stat priority:

  • Elemental Mastery. Since this whole build works with EM, you’ll need as much as you can get.
  • CRIT Rate. If you don’t have enough CRIT Rate you may need this more than CRIT DMG.
  • CRIT DMG. It’s not really important, but it’s the best sub-stat among the rest.
  • Energy Recharge. You need to recharge faster with this build.
