Nahida Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: Sub-DPS

Nahida is a 5-star Dendro Catalyst character from Sumeru who excels in the Sub-DPS role. Ascending Nahida grants bonus Elemental Mastery, complementing a stat priority of Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG. For the Nahida Sub-DPS/Support setup, equip Deepwood Memories (Spire of Solitary Enlightenment) with Elemental Mastery Sands, Elemental Mastery or Dendro Damage Bonus Goblet, and Elemental Mastery or CRIT Rate/DMG Circlet. A Thousand Floating Dreams (Elemental Mastery) is the top recommended weapon, while Sacrificial Fragments serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

Nahida's best build as a Sub-DPS and Support role will have her use the Deepwood Memories with Elemental Mastery Stats. Your goal should be to get around 800 to 1000 Elemental Mastery on Nahida. Generally, EM Mainstats are her best choice, but since Nahida's passive lets any character share Elemental Mastery with the character on-field, you can also opt to use a Dendro Goblet or a Crit Circlet to increase her damage. It is better to invest in CRIT stats rather than going past 1000 EM since it provides more value if you have gone past that point.
