Genshin Impact – Navia build and materials guide

Lead Spina di Rosula into a glorious future with the best Genshin Impact Navia build and honor the sacrifices made by those who did not survive the great crisis in Fontaine. Navia is leading her late father’s organization into the new era claymore (and gunbrella) in hand, using her Geo Vision for the good of the people.

Navia’s Elemental Skill, Ceremonial Crystalshot, gains charges whenever a character obtains an Elemental Shard created from the Crystallized reaction and Navia can store up to six of these at once. When Navia uses her skill, she consumes all of these charges by firing her gunbrella to deal Geo DMG to her targets. The more rounds hit a target, the higher their damage multiplier will become. Holding the skill button allows Navia to enter aiming mode, giving her more control over targeting. Using her skill also infuses her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks with Geo for a short time.

Her Elemental Burst, As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute, unleashes a massive bombardment on the area of effect, dealing Geo DMG to every enemy inside. For a duration afterwards, fire will continue sporadically, restoring Navia’s Crystal Shrapnel charges upon hitting an enemy.

Another important note for team-building is that one of Navia’s passives increases her ATK by 20% up to two times for having party members of the Pyro, Electro, Cryo, and Hydro elements.

Best Navia weapons – Genshin Impact

Navia’s signature weapon, Verdict, is going to be an absolute beast in her hands. This halberd comes with increased CRIT Rate and ATK, allowing the wearer to obtain a Seal when an Elemental Shard from the Crystallize reaction is picked up. These Seals last for 15 seconds and the wielder can have up to two at the same time. Seals are consumed by using an Elemental Skill, boosting the damage of this skill greatly. 

It perfectly complements Navia’s Elemental Skill, which is going to be her main source of damage.

Best weapons for Navia:

• Verdict (5-Star)
• The Unforged (5-Star)
• Wolf’s Gravestone (5-Star)
• Serpent Spine (4-Star)
• Talking Stick (4-Star)

Best Navia artifacts – Genshin Impact

Navia requires additional offensive stats to boost her damage output, so you’ll want to stack the likes of ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and Geo DMG on her. Don’t underestimate her need for Energy Recharge, though, as you’ll want to guarantee as much Burst uptime as possible.

Best Artifact Sets for Navia:

• Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods (4) – +18% ATK, +20% Geo DMG for 10s after the wearer uses an Elemental Skill, which increases by 150% while the wearer benefits from a shield created by the Crystallize reaction.
• Gladiator’s Finale (2) + Archaic Petra (2) – +18% ATK, +15% Geo DMG

Best stats for Navia:

• Flower: HP (main stat), CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Energy Recharge, ATK %
• Plume: ATK (main stat), CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Energy Recharge, ATK %
• Sands: ATK % (main stat), CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Energy Recharge, ATK
• Goblet: Geo DMG (main stat), CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Energy Recharge, ATK %
• Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG (main stat), CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate, Energy Recharge, ATK %, ATK

Best Navia teams – Genshin Impact

Navia is an on-field Main DPS and as mentioned above comes equipped with a passive ability that is able to further boost her Attack in the right team composition. Furthermore, Navia relies on a mixture of Normal Attacks and her Elemental Skill and Burst to deal damage. Her dependence on Crystallized Shards also means that she’s going to need some off-field elemental application to work with.

• Navia (Main DPS), Xiangling (Sub DPS), Bennett (Support), Zhongli (Support)

Xiangling and Bennett, the dastardly duo giving every enemy in the game nightmares, will not only provide plenty of Pyro effects to trigger Crystallize with, they will also provide healing, an ATK buff, and Pyro Resonance. Plus, they should trigger Navia’s passive ability. Zhongli is around to provide shields and Elemental RES shred, increasing the offensive output Navia delivers, as well as creating the Geo Resonance with her.

You can alter this composition by swapping in some other off-field character for Xiangling — Fischl, Yae Miko, Raiden Shogun, Yelan, Xingqiu, or Charlotte are all options. Furina is a good choice as a Bennett replacement, providing healing and offensive bonuses as well. Zhongli is best swapped out for someone like Albedo, Ningguang, or Yun Jin as you want to maintain the Geo Resonance. Yun Jin will be especially good if you have a diverse line-up with two different elements represented in the other two party slots.

Navia ascension materials – Genshin Impact

You’ll want to quickly raise Navia’s level when you finally pull her, which means that you’ll need to farm her ascension materials. You’ll also require some material to upgrade her talents.

Here’s what you need to get Navia to level 90:

• Prithiva Topaz Sliver x1
• Prithiva Topaz Fragment x9
• Prithiva Topaz Chunk x9
• Prithiva Topaz Gemstone x6
• Transoceanic Pearl x18
• Transoceanic Chunk x30
• Xenochromatic Crystal x36
• Spring of the First Dewdrop x168
• Artificed Spare Clockwork Component (Coppelius) x46
• Mora x2,092,530

Prithiva Topaz can be obtained from any Geo-affiliated boss on the world map, such as the Geo Hypostasis in Liyue. Transoceanic Pearls and Chunks as well as Xenochromatic Crystal are drops from the underwater critter found in Fontaine. For Artificed Spare Clockwork Component (Coppelius), you’ll need to defeat – surprise, surprise – Coppelius in Fontaine.

Spring of the First Dewdrop can be found in Fontaine’s Morte region between Poisson and the Ruins of Fort Charybdis, where you’ll have to do some diving. The best way to earn more Mora in the game is to farm golden Ley Line Blossoms.

Here’s what you need to upgrade all of Navia’s talents to their maximum level:

• Transoceanic Pearl x18
• Transoceanic Chunk x66
• Xenochromatic Crystal x93
• Teachings of Equity x9
• Guide to Equity x63
• Philosophies of Equity x114
• Lightless Silk String x18
• Crown of Insight x3
• Mora x4,957,500

For the materials already mentioned, check above. You’ll need to visit the Pale Forgotten Glory Domain on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday to farm Scrolls of Equity. Lightless Silk String is a boss item only dropped by the All-Devouring Narwhal, so you’ll need to confront that monster again and again.

Crowns of Insight are a rare item gained from time-limited events or regional reward mechanics like the Tree of Dreams in Sumeru, the Grand Narukami Shrine in Inazuma, or the Fountain of Lucine in Fontaine.
