Nefer Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Dendro | Weapon: Catalyst

Nefer is a 5-star Catalyst character who wields the power of Dendro. She serves as an on-field driver for Lunar-Bloom reactions while also dealing substantial direct damage. Her kit allows her to benefit from Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. By absorbing Seeds of Deceit, she gains additional Elemental Mastery and enhances the damage of her Elemental Burst.

Nefer Kit Breakdown

To master Nefer, understanding the following key mechanics and rotation is crucial:

• Core Resources & States: Her kit revolves around several unique resources:
  • Verdant Dew: Gained when a party member triggers a Lunar-Bloom reaction. It serves as the ticket for using Phantasm Performance.
  • Veil of Falsehood: Obtained by absorbing Seeds of Deceit. It is used to significantly enhance the damage of her Elemental Burst.
  • Shadow Dance State: Activated by her Elemental Skill. This state enables the use of her core skill, Phantasm Performance.
• Recommended Rotation: A typical combat cycle might look like this:
  • Use a teammate (like a Hydro character) to trigger Lunar-Bloom reactions, generating Verdant Dew.
  • Use her Elemental Skill to enter the Shadow Dance state and convert existing seeds on the field into Seeds of Deceit.
  • Use Phantasm Performance to attack enemies and absorb the Seeds of Deceit, gaining stacks of Veil of Falsehood and increasing her Elemental Mastery.
  • When you have a high number of Veil of Falsehood stacks, use her Elemental Burst to consume all stacks and unleash high burst damage.

Nefer Weapon Recommended

Choosing the right weapon for Nefer requires careful consideration, as she relies on both Elemental Mastery to enhance her Lunar-Bloom reaction damage and CRIT stats to boost her direct damage potential.

Best Choice

Reliquary of Truth

542 / +88.2% CRIT DMG

Essence of Falsity

CRIT Rate is increased by 8% / 10% / 12% / 14% / 16% . When the equipping character unleashes an Elemental Skill, they gain the Secret of Lies effect: Elemental Mastery is increased by 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 for 12s. When the equipping character deals Lunar-Bloom DMG to an opponent, they gain the Moon of Truth effect: CRIT DMG is increased by 24% / 30% / 36% / 42% / 48% for 4s. When both the Secret of Lies and Moon of Truth effects are active at the same time, the results of both effects will be increased by 50%.

This weapon can be considered tailor-made for Nefer, perfectly covering all phases of her output:

• High CRIT Value: Its sub-stat provides a significant amount of CRIT DMG, while its passive effect directly increases CRIT Rate, greatly reducing the artifact pressure for building these stats.
• Complete Mastery and DMG Coverage: Using an Elemental Skill triggers an Elemental Mastery increase. Dealing Lunar-Bloom DMG then boosts CRIT DMG. When both effects are active simultaneously, all bonuses are increased by an additional 50%, providing full coverage for Nefer's core damage sources.

Alternatives

A Thousand Floating Dreams

542 / +264.6 Elemental Mastery

This weapon is an exceptionally powerful and versatile option for reaction-based teams, particularly excelling in multi-element party compositions:

• High Elemental Mastery: Its sub-stat provides a substantial amount of Elemental Mastery, directly increasing the damage of her Lunar-Bloom reactions.
• Team Utility: Its passive provides the wielder with either Elemental Mastery or an Elemental DMG Bonus based on teammates' elements. Additionally, it boosts the Elemental Mastery of all other party members, resulting in very high overall value.

Blackmarrow Lantern

454 / +220.5 Elemental Mastery

This 4-star weapon performs remarkably well and is an excellent choice outside of her signature weapon, especially as it focuses on enhancing reaction damage:

• Mastery & Reaction Buff: Its sub-stat provides Elemental Mastery, while its passive directly increases both Bloom DMG and Lunar-Bloom DMG.
• Significant Refinement Benefits: According to calculations, at Refinement 5, its performance is second only to her signature weapon, reaching about 88% of the signature's strength.

4-star Choices

Dawning Frost

510 / +55.1% CRIT DMG

This new weapon in 6.2 provides 55.1% CRIT DMG for Nefer, and its skill can increase Nefer's EM when she use her Charged ATK or Skill to hit an enemy. These buff it gives to Nefer makes it the best 4-star weapon for Nefer.

Mappa Mare

565 / +110.3 Elemental Mastery

Infusion Scroll

Triggering an Elemental reaction grants a 8% / 10% / 12% / 14% / 16% Elemental DMG Bonus for 10s. Max 2 stacks.

This craftable weapon is a solid free-to-play option, though it's important to note the significant power gap between it and her signature weapon.

Signature Weapon vs. Constellations

Signature Weapon: 8% CRIT Rate and 120 EM, gives a total of 124% CRIT DMG, making it a strong stat-stick  even not used for Nefer. It's about 17% stronger than Lauma's Signature Weapon, so it is best to get one for Nefer.

C1:+60% of EM as base DMG for Lunar-Bloom, about 25% total DPS increase. Big raw damage buff and no mechanic change.

C2: Buff her passive, longer duration, faster staking, +200 EM cap. About 19% DPS increased.

C3: Skill level +3, roughly +15% DPS since her Skill drives most of her damage.

C4: +25% faster Dew generation and reduce 20% Dendro RES on enemies. Roughly +11% DPS, moderate but helpful for team Dendros.

C5: Burst level +3 — completely useless, 0–1% DPS increase. Not worth pulling.

C6: Converts part of Charged Attack to AOE Dendro DMG based on EM, +15% extra Lunar Bloom DMG. Around +60–65% total DPS, one of the best C6s in recent characters.
