In this guide, we will go over everything players need to know regarding Navia and her powerful capability as one of the game’s strongest Geo DPS characters and how players can maximize her damage with the best options for weapons, artifacts and the best team to make Navia shine the brightest as the mafia boss she is.

 

Navia Overview

Element	Weapon Type	Special Effect	Role
Geo	Claymore	Ousia (Fontaine)	Main DPS

Navia is a 5* Limited Character of Genshin Impact that is released in the game as one of the game’s main characters in Fontaine, accompanying the Traveler during the majority of the Fontaine main story chapters. She is a Geo Character that wields a Claymore as her main weapon.

Known as the Golden Rose, Navia wields a gun hidden behind her Parasol with the ability to blast enemies to smitterins with her explosively powerful Geo Damage output and flashy playstyle.

As a Geo Character, she excels at being the primary Geo damage DPS when teamed up with various other elemental allies to boost her overall damage output. Navia’s skill kit revolves mainly around using her powerful skill attack to shoot the enemy whenever she gains Crystalized Shields triggered whenever the Geo element comes into contact with other elements on the field.

 

Navia Skill Leveling Priority

Talent Overview:

• Skill: Navia’s main damage comes from her Elemental Skill, which allows her to change her Claymore weapon into a Parasol Gun, loading it with powerful bullets that can decimate the enemies. When in this mode, Navia can aim at the enemy to fire Geo Bullets, dealing instant AoE Geo Damage to enemies in front of her and taking them out as quickly as possible. This damage is boosted whenever Navia receives Shields from the Crystalized Elemental Reactions.
• Burst: Navia’s Elemental Burst allows her to unleash a barrage of cannon fires towards the enemies, dealing periodic Geo damage in a wide area even when Navia herself is switched off field. This allows her to apply the geo mark on enemies in order to trigger the Crystalized Effects to grant her beneficial effects and boost her skill damage.
• Passive: Navia’s main Passive allows her to gain up to 40% more attack when other allies in the team are from the different elements Cryo, Pyro, Hydro and Electro. The more allies of the different elements the more damage she will deal, up to 2 stacks.

Thanks To Navia’s powerful skill kit to help her become a strong main DPS character, her skill leveling priority is quite straight-forward for the most part:

• Skill > Normal Attack ≥ Burst
• Unlock all passive talents

Players should prioritize leveling Navia’s Skill as much as possible, as her main damage output is from her Elemental Skill.

Leveling up Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst for Navia will improve her overall damage output as she is on the field, improving her DPS capability.

Players should unlock all of Navia’s passive talents as quickly as possible to maximize her damage output due to the fact that her passives allow her to gain increased attacks from different elemental teammates in the team.

 

Best Weapons & Artifact Builds

Navia Recommended Weapons

As Navia is a Polearm using character that can fill the roles of both Sub DPS and Support character with a skill kit that scales of her Attack stat, players should choose weapons that boost either her Critical Stats and Attack Stats to maximize her skill kit.

Navia’s Best In Slot weapon is her signature weapon:

Verdict

Main Stat: Attack

Secondary Stat: Crit Rate%

Effect: Increases ATK by 20%. When characters in your party obtain Elemental Shards from Crystallize reactions, the equipping character will gain 1 Seal, increasing Elemental Skill DMG by 18%. The Seal lasts for 15s, and the equipped may have up to 2 Seals at once. All of the equipper's Seals will disappear 0.2s after their Elemental Skill deals DMG.

 

For Alternative Weapons, there are several considerations players can use:

Alternative 5* Weapon option: The Unforged, Wolf’s Gravestone

The Unforged is a decent substitute for Navia’s Best In Slot signature weapon thanks to its Attack Stats and the ability to grant her more shield when she triggers the Crystalized effect, allowing her to keep her damage boosting effect longer. Wolf’s Gravestone is Navia’s best 5* F2P weapon as it provides her with a massive boost in attack when equipping it and whenever she attacks the enemies, allowing her to deal more damage overall.

 

Best in Slot DPS 4* Weapon : Serpent Spine

Serpent Spine is a very good stat stick for Navia as it provides Navia with a decent amount of Critical Rate and allows her to gain Attack at the start of the fight as long as players are willing to wait for its passive to max out. The only downside is that it is a Battle pass weapon.

 

Best F2P 4* Weapon: "Ul­ti­mate O­ver­lord's Me­ga Ma­gic Sword"

"Ultimate Over O­ver­lord's Me­ga Magic Sword" is a special free Claymore players can obtain through a special world quest chain in Fontaine. It provides Navia with a decent amount of attack boost, allowing her to deal good damage. Players should note that they will need to complete the quest and finish all of the Melusines' requests in order to maximize Claymore's passive effect, however. This is also an Event weapon.

 

Navia Best Artifact Sets

For Navia, players can choose different Geo oriented Artifact sets in order to boost her overall Geo damage output massively when using her skill, allowing her to reach her max potential as a Main DPS character.

For the best In slot artifact set for Navia, players should use the Nighttime Whisper artifact set on her, which allows her to boost her damage output massively whenever she gains Crystalizes Shield and boosting her Skill Damage up to 150% upon obtaining shields thanks to her gimmick.

Best Alternatives:

• 4pc Marechaussee Hunter
• 4pc Golden Troupe

For Main Stats and Sub Stats, players should prioritize these main stats for the different artifact pieces:

	Sands	Goblet	Circlet
Main Stat	Attack%	Geo Damage%	Crit Rate%, Crit Damage%
Sub Stat #1	Attack%, Crit Rate%, Crit Damage %
Sub Stat #2	Attack, Energy Regen%, Elemental Mastery, Other Stats

 

Best Team Recommendations

As Navia fulfills the main DPS role in the majority of her teams, the different characters in the team will need to help boost her overall damage potential to make it so that Navia can deal as much damage as possible.

 

Navia Best Premium Team Options

Navia premium consist of Navia, 2 different other characters, each from different elements and 1 other Geo character with abilities that can trigger the Crystalized Elemental Reaction easily even when they are not on field, allowing Navia to gain as much benefits from her talent as possible while granting her the Geo Elemental resonance to reduce enemies’s Geo Resistance and buff her damage output massively

Best Team Composition
Geo Sustain / Support	Hydro / Cryo / Electro / Pyro Support	Hydro / Cryo / Electro / Pyro Support	Navia (Geo Main DPS)

• Geo Sustain/ Support: This slot is to allow Navia and another Geo character to trigger the Geo Elemental resonance effect, allowing Geo characters to reduce enemies’ elemental resistance when they have shields on. Players can consider Geo options that boost Navia’s damage output potential or those that boost her overall survivability while also providing buffs. The best recommended options are: Zhongli or Xilonen.
• 2 Hydro/Cryo/Electro/Pyro Supports: The 2 flexible slots for Navia team comp requires 2 characters that can deal decent off field damage, buff Navia or provide Navia with enough utility while being among the 4 elements needed to trigger Navia’s talent passive, allowing her to gain 40% extra attack. Players can consider picking from the following characters as options for these 2 slots: Furina, Mavuika, Raiden Shogun, Yelan, etc.

 

Navia Best F2P Team Options

Thanks to Navia’s flexibility and the over abundance of strong F2P buffing options, Navia’s F2P teams can still be on par with her Premium teams as long as players have invested carefully into the different F2P buffers in the team.

F2P Team Composition
Sustain / Support	Hydro / Cryo / Electro / Pyro Support	Hydro / Cryo / Electro / Pyro Support	Navia (Geo Main DPS)

• Unlike the premium team where you want to have at least another Geo character alongside Navia, due to the lack of F2P Geo options to fulfill this role, players can consider bringing other support and sustain options to fulfill this position to keep Navia alive as best as you can. Players can try to use Gorou for this role.
• Similar to Premium Team for Navia, having 2 different elemental characters of the 4 elements of Cryo/Hydro/Pyro or Electro to buff Navia will be the most ideal, with the most powerful and notable options includes Bennett, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Fischl or Shinobu.
