Genshin Impact Nahida Build: Best Artifact Set

This Genshin Impact Nahida build consists of the best artifact sets you can find for the tiny archon. Ideally, you should prioritize pieces that can provide tons of Elemental mastery, Dendro damage and even Crit attributes for on-field DPS.

Name	Icon	Description
Deepwood Memories		Deepwood Memories is Nahida's best-in-slot artifact set provided that no one else in the team is equipping it. Aside from the dendro damage bonus it provides, it also lowers the dendro resistance of the enemies, therefore increasing the damage output of Nahida overall.
Gilded Dreams		Gilded Dreams is a great alternative if someone else's using the Deepwood set. It increases Nahida's elemental mastery necessary if you're aiming to reach at least 900 EM on her.
2-pc Deepwood Memories 2-pc Gilded Dreams		If you're unable to get a decent set for either of the two, opting for a 2-pc Deepwood, 2-pc Gilded Dreams is not a bad option given that the 2-pc set effect that both provides is beneficial to the Dendro Archon.

Nahida Best Artifact Set for Beginners

If you're a beginner looking for a decent artifact set for Nahida, fret not as there are a few options that you can easily obtain by defeating enemies and opponents, and opening chests.

Instructor		For more attainable options, the Instructor set is highly recommended thanks to the EM stats it can give both Nahida and the entire team.
Gambler		Gambler is another set that beginners can use on Nahida when better options are unavailable. The elemental skill damage increase can be helpful, however the 4-pc set effect does not bring much value.

Genshin Impact Nahida Build: Best Weapon Set

Nahida can be deployed in the team as a support bringing in off-field damage and application and teamwide buffs or as an on-field DPS capable of wreaking havoc on the opponents. That said, you may have to swap into another weapon when switching to another role. Good thing, there are plenty of best weapon choices for either of the two roles and we'll be happy to show you each one of them in this Genshin Impact Nahida build guide.

Name	Icon	Description
A Thousand Floating Dreams		Not only does A Thousand Floating Dreams complement the Dendro Archon's style, but it's also regarded as her best-in-slot choice. It offers a sizeable damage bonus in addition to having a large quantity of EM value, which is required for Nahida.
Kagura's Verity		Kagura's Verity, with its crit damage substats and elemental skill damage boost from its passive, is a great choice for Nahida on and off the field.
Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds		When mainly used as an on-field DPS, the use of Lost Prayer of the Sacred Winds is worth mentioning thanks to the crit rate it brings and at most 32% elemental damage bonus from its passive. However, in order to gain access to the latter, Nahida must stay on the field for more than 4s, which is not ideal for an off-field sub-DPS Nahida.

Genshin Impact Nahida Build: Best Free-to-Play Weapons

As we know, acquiring weapons, especially rare ones may require a hefty amount of primogems. However, you can always resort to easily accessible and inexpensive alternatives that interestingly can sometimes compete with 5-star options.

Name	Icon	Description
Sacrificial Fragments		While Nahida won't benefit that much from the elemental skill cooldown reset, Sacrificial Fragments still remains as one of the best 4-star catalysts in the game if you're aiming to increase your EM.
The Widsith		Widsith is a 4-star Crit damage gacha exclusive weapon that fits well with the on-field Nahida playstyle. For as long as she can take the field at least every 10 seconds, Nahida can benefit from the weapon's passive which can grant her either attack, elemental mastery or elemental damage. Either way, she is sure to benefit from it.
Wandering Evenstar		If you're running a team consisting of Nahida along with a DPS character that scales off their attack stats, Wandering Evenstar can be your go-to weapon. Its passive effect enables Nahida to supply ATK buffs to herself and her allies based on a portion of her elemental mastery.
Mappa Mare		If luck is not by your side, and you're not able to get yourself any decent catalyst weapon for Nahida, worry not as there is a craftable weapon available at your disposal. Although it does not give EM attributes as high as the other options, Mappa Mare can be just as good especially since it's the most F2P option there is. Mappa Mare's passive increases her elemental damage each time she triggers an elemental reaction, which she can easily do thanks to her potent dendro application.
