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…

Skills Talents¶

Talents	Icon	Name	Notes
Normal Attack		Akara	Perform four-consecutive strikes or hold to create a Dendro cube that closes in on enemies dealing AoE Dendro damage.
Elemental Skill		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		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. Pyro increases the damage of Tri-Karma Purification, Hydro increases the Shrine of Maya’s duration, and Electro shortens the intervals in between Tri-Karma Purification.

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.
