HoYoverse adding new characters with every update in Genshin Impact. And the upcoming update 4.3 is no exception. Along with it, the game will get a new damage dealer, Navia. Therefore, in this guide, we will tell you about the best Navia build in Genshin Impact, for which we have collected the best weapons, artifacts, and team comps.

Navia is a 5-star Geo character that has been loved by many fans due to her design and attack animations. However, she is very strong and will be the star of your team, if you use the right build, of course.

But before we reveal the best Navia build, be sure to take a look at our other articles as well. Here, we have a list of all special dishes and food in Genshin Impact. Also, you can read our guide on whether you Should pull for Furina.

Who is Navia in Genshin Impact?

Navia is an example of a Fontainian lady. She dons a fashionable and expensive dress, a beautiful hat, and a jewel-encrusted umbrella. She is also the president of the Spina di Rosula, an organisation that helps the people of Fontaine solve elusive cases. And even though Navia manages the entire organisation, she also takes part in investigations, which she enjoys.

But you should not think that because of her pampered appearance, Navia is weak, on the contrary, she is very strong. She prefers to use a Claymore and her umbrella in battle. And Navia's abilities can cause massive Geo damage in Genshin Impact:

Blunt Refusal (Normal Attack) - Navia deals up to 4 consecutive hits. The charged option is the same as that of other Claymore users. She swings her sword in a circle, damaging all enemies around her.
Ceremonial Crystalshot (Elemental Skill) - Navia uses her umbrella to fire Rosula Shardshots at enemies. After that, her normal attack deals Geo damage, which other Elemental infusions cannot overwrite
- Each Elemental Shard created from a Crystallize reaction collected gives Navia one Crystal Shrapnel charge. They can stack up to 6, and the more charges it has, the more projectiles it will fire during the Elemental Skill and the greater the damage.
- Also, you can aim manually when you hold down the skill button
- Ceremonial Crystalshot triggers Surging Blade which deals Ousia-aligned Geo damage.
As the Sunlit Sky's Singing Salute (Elemental Burst) - Navia summons a Golden Rose Salute and deals Geo damage in an area over time. Hitting an enemy with this attack grants her a charge of Crystal Shrapnel.
Passive Abilities - Navia increases damage by 20% for each Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro character in the team. The effect stacks up to two times. Also, Navia receives 25% more rewards during expeditions in Fontaine.

Thus, Navia is a damage dealer who mainly uses Crystallize reactions. Each of her skills helps you buff Navia and does not require a team of Geo characters. Therefore, you only need one Geo character and two other elements to apply elemental effects and buff Navia even more.

Best weapons for Navia in Genshin Impact

Along with Navia, her Signature weapon called Verdict will also appear in Genshin Impact in Version 4.3. But actually, it looks more like a short halberd than a Claymore.

Alternatively, you should take The Unforged, which is great for increasing Navia's ATK, especially if you are playing with Zhongli and his shields. But if you don’t have this weapon, you can take less effective but more affordable options:

Serpent Spine
Wolf's Gravestone
Talking Stick

One of the best artifact sets for Navia is the new artifact set, Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods. This Set increases ATK%, and Geo DMG Bonus after using the Elemental Skill, which Navia uses most often.

Also, players can use two artifacts from the Gladiator's Finale set and two from the Archaic Petra set. They also give bonuses to ATK and Geo DMG. As for artifact stats, here's what you need to focus on:
