Introduction

One might say she pays too much attention or dotes on people too much… But while her actions can be flawed, I believe her sense of responsibility as Sumeru’s deity to be a commendable thing. Ah, that the youngest of gods should be thus, while a certain other person, by contrast, should be so prone to hysterics…

Elemental Skill Talent_All_Schemes_to_Know.png All Schemes to Know Tap to do an AoE swipe and mark enemies with a Seed of Skandha. Hold to bring up a square and mark enemies with a Seed of Skandha automatically. The Seed links enemies together. When an elemental reaction hits one, they will all take damage from Tri-Karma Purification, which scales based on Nahida’s attack and elemental mastery.
Elemental Burst Talent_Illusory_Heart.png Illusory Heart A large portion of the field is covered by the Shrine of Maya. Inside of the Shrine of Maya, using different elements will cause different effects to take place.

Builds

Nahida is best used in teams that need Dendro support or a powerful sub-DPS. She works wonderfully on Bloom teams and, in many ways, is designed to run perfectly alongside both Nilou and Cyno. She can also benefit heavily from Pyro characters, and she can easily apply the Dendro element to enemies by using her elemental skill.
