Nahida (Buer) is a 5-star Dendro catalyst user and the Dendro Archon of Sumeru, also known as the Lesser Lord Kusanali. Despite her youthful appearance, she is one of the most powerful and versatile characters in the game.
The best Nahida build revolves around her incredible ability to apply Dendro rapidly, trigger powerful elemental reactions like Aggravate, Spread, and Hyperbloom, and buff team Elemental Mastery.
Nahida’s unique Tri-Karma Purification mechanic allows her to mark multiple enemies with her Elemental Skill, dealing AoE Dendro DMG over time based on Elemental Mastery and ATK.
She fits into nearly any Dendro reaction team and can serve as both a reaction enabler and EM-scaling sub-DPS. She’s a permanent fixture in the current meta and a top-tier choice for nearly every player.

How to Play Nahida Effectively
Nahida shines as an EM-scaling sub-DPS and reaction driver. Her Elemental Skill marks enemies with Seeds of Skandha, triggering Dendro damage whenever reactions occur. This allows her to apply Dendro rapidly and amplify Aggravate, Hyperbloom, and Spread reactions.
Use Hold Skill to tag multiple enemies. Once tagged, any reaction (even from other teammates) will trigger her Tri-Karma Purification. Her Elemental Burst, Shrine of Maya, boosts EM and Dendro reaction damage based on her party makeup.
The best Nahida build focuses on maximizing Elemental Mastery to scale Tri-Karma Purification, making her one of the most powerful reaction supports in the game.
Is Nahida Worth Building?
Absolutely — Nahida is a must-build character. As the Dendro Archon, her off-field support, EM scaling, and flexible team role make her one of the most universally valuable units in Genshin Impact.
