Navia is a brand new Geo 5-star unit in Genshin Impact who was released alongside Genshin Impact version 4.3. Here is everything you need to know about the unit.

Navia is arguably one of the most stylish units in this game. Her design, story, aesthetics, and overall vibe is that of a top-tier unit and it is quite hard to ignore her even if you are the biggest free-to-play user in the world.

However, she is more than just her design, as her damage output is abnormally high. She is quite possibly one of the best DPS units in the game, on par with characters like Neuvillette. Therefore, she is a must-pull unit and if you did end up getting her, building Navia properly is a necessity.

Here is a detailed guide that will help you build Navia and ensure that she one-shots every enemy in the Spiral Abyss with ease.

Navia abilities in Genshin Impact

A screenshot from the game Genshin Impact

Navia’s talents make her a powerful carry in the game

Normal Attack – Blunt Refusal: Performs up to four consecutive strikes
Charged Attack: Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents. At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.
Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill – Ceremonial Crystalshot: When a character in the party obtains an Elemental Shard created from the Crystallize reaction, Navia will gain 1 Crystal Shrapnel charge. Navia can hold up to 6 charges of Crystal Shrapnel at once. Each time Crystal Shrapnel gain is triggered, the duration of the Shards you have already will be reset. When she fires, Navia will consume all Crystal Shrapnel charges and open her elegant yet lethal Gunbrella, firing multiple Rosula Shardshots that can penetrate opponents, dealing Geo DMG to opponents hit. When 0/1/2/3 or more charges of Crystal Shrapnel are consumed, 5/7/9/11 Rosula Shardshots will be fired respectively. The more Rosula Shardshots that strike a single opponent, the greater the DMG dealt to them. When all 11 Rosula Shardshots strike, they deal 200% of the original amount of DMG. In addition, when more than 3 charges of Crystal Shrapnel are consumed, every charge consumed beyond those 3 will increase the damage dealt by that shot by an additional 15%.
Hold – Enter Aiming Mode, continually collecting Elemental Shards created by Crystallize reactions. When released, fire Rosula Shardshots with the same effect as when the skill is tapped. Two initial uses.
Arkhe: Ousia – Periodically, when Navia fires her Gunbrella, a Surging Blade will be summoned, dealing ousia-aligned Geo DMG.
Elemental Burst – As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute: On the orders of the President of the Spina di Rosula, call for a magnificent Rosula Dorata Salute. Unleashes a massive bombardment on opponents in front of her, dealing AoE Geo DMG and providing Fire Support for a duration afterward, periodically dealing Geo DMG to nearby opponents. When attacks from Golden Rose’s Salute hit opponents, Navia will gain 1 charge of Crystal Shrapnel. This effect can be triggered up to once every 2.4s.

Passives

Undisclosed Distribution Channels: For 4s after using Ceremonial Crystalshot, the DMG dealt by Navia’s Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks will be converted into Geo DMG which cannot be overridden by other Elemental infusions, and the DMG dealt by Navia’s Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks will be increased by 40%.
Mutual Assistance Network: For each Pyro/Electro/Cryo/Hydro party member, Navia gains 20% increased ATK. This effect can stack up to 2 times.
Painstaking Transaction: Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Fontaine Expedition for 20 hours.

Navia Constellations in Genshin Impact

Navia has some really poweful constellations in Genshin Impact

Level One – A Lady’s Rules for Keeping a Courteous Distance: Each charge of Crystal Shrapnel consumed when Navia uses Ceremonial Crystalshot will restore 3 Energy to her and decrease the CD of As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute by 1s. Up to 9 Energy can be gained this way, and the CD of “As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute” can be decreased by up to 3s.
Level Two – The President’s Pursuit of Victory: The CRIT Rate of Ceremonial Crystalshot is increased by 12% for each charge of Crystal Shrapnel consumed. CRIT Rate can be increased by up to 36% in this way.
In addition, when Ceremonial Crystalshot hits an opponent, one shot of Fire Support from As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute will strike near the location of the hit. Up to one instance of Fire Support can be triggered each time Ceremonial Crystalshot is used, and DMG dealt by Fire Support in this way is considered Elemental Burst DMG.
Level Three – Businesswoman’s Broad Vision: Increases the Level of Ceremonial Crystalshot by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Level Four – The Oathsworn Never Capitulate: When As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute hits an opponent, that opponent’s Geo RES will be decreased by 20% for 8s.
Level Five – Negotiator’s Resolute Negotiations: Increases the Level of As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Level Six – The Flexible Finesse of the Spina’s President: If more than 3 charges of Crystal Shrapnel are consumed when using Ceremonial Crystalshot, each charge consumed beyond the first 3 increases the CRIT DMG of that Ceremonial Crystalshot by 45%, and any charges consumed beyond the first 3 are returned to Navia.

Best Navia artifacts in Genshin Impact

The best artifact set for Navia in Genshin Impact is Nightime Whispers. The set bonus for this artifact set has been presented below:

2-piece bonus: ATK +18%
4-piece bonus: Gain 20% Geo DMG Bonus after using an elemental skill. If you are under a shield granted by the crystallize reaction, this effect is enhanced by 150%. This additional increase appears 1s after the shield is lost.

Therefore, it is safe to say that this artifact set has been crafted specifically for Navia. You can try using some other sets like Archaic Petra or even Marechaussee Hunter. However, Nightime Whispers is the best choice for the maximum possible damage.

Best Navia weapons in Genshin Impact

Verdict is Navia’s best weapon in the game

Navia is an ATK scaling unit and she will benefit from any weapon that can boost the aforementioned stat. Her best weapon in the game is Verdict which has a pretty high base attack and provides CRIT Rate as a substat.

Additionally, the weapon increases ATK by 20%. Once party members obtain Elemental Shards from Crystallize Reactions, the equipping character will gain 1 Seal. The wearer will also gain an 18% Elemental Skill DMG boost. This seal will last for 15 seconds, and the wearer can have 2 at once. The effect will disappear after the Elemental Skill deals damage.

However, if you do not have access to this weapon, you can use other 5 star weapons like Wolf’s Gravestone or Beacon of the Red Sea. If you do not have either of these, you can go for some 4 star weapons such as Serpent Spine, Talking Stick, and Blackcliff Slasher.

Navia best team comp in Genshin Impact

Navia is a hyper-carry, which means she relies on units that will assist her in battle. The best units to pair alongside Navia are Albedo, Xiangling, and Bennett. In this team, Xiangling and Bennett will enhance the overall output of the team, while Albedo will create even more crystals for Navia to collect.

However, if not Albedo, you can also run Navia alongside Zhongli or Ningguang. It is also possible to run Yelan in place of a second Geo character, but Xiangling and Bennett are kind of mandatory for Navia.

So, there you have it. That’s everything we know about Navia in Genshin Impact. Make sure you check out our Genshin Impact page for all the latest news and updates.
