Navia in Genshin Impact: Unveiling the Geo DPS Sensation

Release Date: December 20, 2023

Gear up, Travelers! Fontaine’s newest Geo sensation, Navia, is set to grace Teyvat with her presence on December 20, 2023, marking the inaugural phase of the highly anticipated 4.3 Update. Brace yourselves as Navia makes her debut alongside the rerun of the elegant Ayaka.

Character Overview: A Geo Dynamo with a Crystalline Edge

Navia emerges as a formidable Geo DPS, weaving her prowess through the art of Crystallize. As each Crystal Shard is absorbed, her damage potential skyrockets. The crux of her kit revolves around crystal generation to accumulate bullet stacks, unleashing a devastating Elemental Skill to wreak havoc.

Elemental Skill: Crystal Surge

Navia’s Elemental Skill is a formidable force, delivering a potent frontal assault in two charges. This ability serves as the linchpin of Navia’s damage output. The key to maximizing its potential lies in accumulating Bullet Stacks, where each Crystal Shard obtained contributes to a maximum of three stacks.

Bullet Stacks Unveiled: A Tactical Approach

Efficiency is the name of the game as Navia accrues one stack for every Crystal Shard absorbed. A tactical maneuver involves aiming the Elemental Skill towards Crystallized Shards, thereby absorbing them and intensifying the prowess of the skill. This strategic approach amplifies the damage potential, solidifying Navia’s impact on the battlefield.

Hold Skill Mastery: Geo Infusion Unleashed

Navia’s Elemental Skill holds another layer of depth. When held, it allows Navia to absorb Crystallized Shards, gaining one stack per Crystal. Moreover, each activation bestows a 4-second Geo Infusion upon Navia, providing an unyielding on-field presence and strategic advantage.

Elemental Burst: Geo Symphony Unleashed

Navia’s Elemental Burst is a breathtaking display of Geo mastery. Over 12 seconds, it unleashes a mesmerizing series of Geo attacks across the battlefield. This skill stands as a prolific source of Crystallized Shards, although precision is required as it tends to miss its mark.

Buff Stacks from the Burst: Elemental Skill Enhancement

The Elemental Burst is not merely a spectacle; it’s a catalyst for enhancement. Each hit on the opponent during the Elemental Burst grants Navia a valuable stack of the Elemental Skill buff. These stacks empower Navia to continuously unleash the devastating power of her Elemental Skill, ensuring a sustained onslaught against adversaries.

In the symphony of Geo prowess, Navia’s skills weave together, creating a narrative of strategic depth and calculated power. Mastering the art of Bullet Stacks, Geo Infusion, and Buff Stacks will elevate Navia to unparalleled heights in the vast expanse of Teyvat. As you embark on this journey, let the crystalline power of Navia reshape the very essence of battle!
