So, you’ve added Nahida to your Genshin Impact team, or maybe you’re thinking about it. Either way, it’s clear she’s one powerful Dendro unit with so much potential when she’s got the right weapon in her hand. Whether you’re looking to max out her DPS or want her as a support for Dendro reactions, the right choice can make all the difference. Let’s break down the top 10 weapons for Nahida to help you bring out the best in her, from the affordable to the absolute must-haves. Grab a cup of tea (or some resin) and let’s get into it!
10. Magic Guide (3-Star)
Starting with a simple and cheap pick, the Magic Guide might surprise you. Yep, a 3-star weapon for our little Dendro archon. It’s easy to overlook, but this weapon really punches above its weight when you need that quick boost to Elemental Mastery. Plus, the passive buffs damage against enemies affected by Hydro or Electro, meaning if you’re running her with characters like Xingqiu or Raiden, this baby can make your reactions hit harder than you’d expect. Ideal for new players or anyone wanting to get a decent result without farming too much!
9. Mappa Mare (4-Star)
Crafting is your best friend here. The Mappa Mare is craftable, which makes it easy to refine, and it provides a solid Elemental Mastery boost. Why does this matter for Nahida? Because EM directly powers up Dendro reactions, and with Nahida’s kit, you’ll be triggering them all the time. On top of that, its passive ability adds a nice elemental damage boost when she triggers a reaction. If you’re after a budget-friendly weapon that still delivers, this might be your go-to. It’s a great stepping stone before diving into the 5-stars.
8. Sacrificial Fragments (4-Star)
This one’s for the players who like to see Nahida’s Elemental Skill more than once per cooldown. With Sacrificial Fragments, you not only get a healthy dose of Elemental Mastery, but you also have a decent chance to reset the cooldown on her skill, which can be a game-changer. Picture it: twice the skill uses mean double the Dendro application and reactions. If you’re setting her up with teammates that need those elemental reactions rolling, this weapon could be just what you’re after.
7. Favonius Codex (4-Star)
Let’s be real—sometimes Energy Recharge feels like a necessary evil. Favonius Codex offers an easy fix by helping to keep Nahida’s Elemental Burst ready whenever you need it. Along with an Energy Recharge stat, its passive creates bonus energy particles on critical hits, which is helpful if you’ve been struggling to get her burst up consistently. Not the flashiest pick, but it’s one that can seriously boost her support role, especially in long battles where you’ll need every bit of energy.
6. Solar Pearl (4-Star)
Looking to mix it up between normal attacks and Elemental Skills? Then Solar Pearl might be the one for you. It brings a crit rate boost to the table, plus it has a passive that strengthens her Elemental Skill and Burst after normal attacks—and vice versa. Essentially, Nahida’s skills get a nice bump after normal attacks, which adds a balanced flow to her playstyle. This makes it a great pick if you want her to handle a little of everything, not just reactions. Plus, it keeps her versatile enough to adapt to whatever fight you’re facing.
5. Wandering Evenstar (4-Star)
The Wandering Evenstar is one of those weapons that feels like it was made with Nahida in mind. It provides a big Elemental Mastery boost, but it also has a passive that turns some of that EM into extra attack for her. Better yet, it doesn’t just benefit her—your entire team gets an attack bonus based on her EM stat, making it perfect for team synergy. If you want Nahida as a more supportive yet still powerful character, this one really fits the bill.
4. The Widsith (4-Star)
If you enjoy rolling the dice, The Widsith might be just what you’re looking for. This weapon has a Crit DMG stat and, every time Nahida enters the field, she gets one of three random buffs—either a boost to Attack, Elemental Mastery, or Elemental Damage. When the stars align and the buff matches what you need, she’ll be dealing some massive damage! Just keep in mind it’s not the most consistent choice, so if you prefer predictable boosts, you might want to skip this one. But when it does work, it really works!
3. Kagura’s Verity (5-Star)
Here we are with our first 5-star weapon on the list. Kagura’s Verity is like giving Nahida a power surge. It boosts Crit DMG, and its passive enhances Elemental Skill damage while offering an all-around Elemental Damage bonus at max stacks. If you’re someone who keeps Nahida on the field to continually apply her Elemental Skill, this weapon is a match made in heaven. The setup can be a bit of a process, but once you’re there, you’ll see just how much it elevates her potential damage.
2. A Thousand Floating Dreams (5-Star)
Nahida’s signature weapon, A Thousand Floating Dreams, was built to match her unique Dendro abilities and reaction-based playstyle. With a high Elemental Mastery stat and an interesting passive, this weapon boosts her own power while giving team buffs based on her teammates’ elements. The best part? Nahida doesn’t even need to be on the field to provide these buffs, making it incredibly useful for Dendro-focused teams. If you want her as a reaction machine, this weapon pulls all the stops—no wonder it’s her signature!
1. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds (5-Star)
Finally, the Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds takes the top spot. It’s not Nahida’s signature, but the Crit Rate boost, Elemental Damage buff, and movement speed increase are all fantastic perks that fit her gameplay beautifully. Its passive rewards players who like keeping Nahida on the field, as the Elemental Damage bonus keeps stacking. Whether you’re in it for the crits, speed, or the overall damage, this weapon has what it takes to make Nahida the powerhouse she deserves to be. You really can’t go wrong with this choice if she’s your main Dendro dealer.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it—ten solid weapons to maximize Nahida’s potential. From the more accessible picks like Magic Guide and Mappa Mare to powerhouse 5-star options like Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, each of these weapons has something unique to offer, whether you’re looking to boost her reactions, keep her burst-ready, or make her a reliable DPS.
Of course, not everyone has access to 5-star weapons or wants to invest primogems chasing them down. And that’s okay! Nahida can still pack a punch with the right 4-star setup or even some 3-star choices if you’re just starting out. The key here is flexibility; Nahida adapts to different roles easily depending on your team’s needs.
So, experiment a little, mix and match her with different teammates, and don’t be afraid to try weapons you might not have considered at first glance. Nahida’s strength is her versatility, and with the right weapon in hand, she’s ready to take on anything Genshin Impact can throw at her.
