Role: On-Field Geo DPS / Elemental Skill Carry
Best For: Players who want a Geo damage dealer built around powerful Elemental Skill shots and the Crystallize reaction.
1. Recommended Artifacts
4-Piece Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods — Recommended for Navia because it provides ATK and a large Geo DMG Bonus while she is protected by a Crystallize shield.
Alternative: 4-Piece Marechaussee Hunter is strong when playing Navia with Furina, while 4-Piece Golden Troupe can improve her Elemental Skill damage.
2. Recommended Weapons
Premium: Verdict
Alternatives: Gest of the Mighty Wolf, Serpent Spine, Beacon of the Reed Sea
F2P: Tidal Shadow
Verdict provides CRIT Rate, ATK, and additional Elemental Skill damage after the team obtains Crystallize shards. Tidal Shadow is a practical craftable option when Navia is played with a healer who can reliably activate its ATK buff.
3. Recommended Teams
Xilonen: Navia + Xilonen + Furina + Bennett
Double Geo: Navia + Zhongli + Xiangling + Bennett
Kachina: Navia + Kachina + Xiangling + Bennett
Navia wants consistent Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo application so the team can generate Crystallize shards. A second Geo character is also useful for Geo Resonance and reducing Navia’s Energy requirements.
4. Main Stats / Substats
Sands: ATK% / Energy Recharge
Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus
Circlet: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
Priority: Energy Recharge until needed → CRIT → ATK%
Navia uses a traditional offensive build focused on ATK, Geo DMG, and CRIT. Enough Energy Recharge to use her Burst consistently is also important because her Burst helps generate Crystal Shrapnel stacks for her Elemental Skill.
5. Playstyle
Use Navia’s Burst early in the rotation, then use her teammates to apply elements and generate Crystallize shards. Collecting these shards gives Navia Crystal Shrapnel stacks that strengthen her Elemental Skill.
Switch back to Navia and use her Skill for powerful Geo shots, weaving Normal Attacks between Skill uses when playing her on-field. Her Elemental Skill is her main source of damage, so prioritize Skill → Burst → Normal Attack.
6. F2P
Navia has useful craftable weapon options, with Tidal Shadow providing ATK and an additional ATK buff after she receives healing. It works especially well in teams that already include a consistent healer.
F2P players should prioritize reliable Crystallize generation, enough Energy Recharge for her Burst, and strong CRIT and ATK artifact stats rather than treating Verdict as necessary for high damage.
*StoryBillion Tip: Navia’s Elemental Skill becomes much stronger when you collect Crystallize shards first. Don’t immediately fire her Skill after switching in—generate and collect shards to build Crystal Shrapnel stacks, then use her Gunbrella shots for significantly higher damage.
