The guide lists suitable artifacts, weapons, and teams, provides a description of the heroine's active and passive abilities, strengths and weaknesses. In addition, materials and everything that Navia needs for leveling up are discussed.

Navia is a legendary character who wields a two-handed sword and belongs to the Geo element. She is the head of the Spina di Rosula organization, which aims to help the residents of Fontaine in various matters. The girl has a sharp mind and incredible intuition, which allows her to analyze events from different angles and get to the bottom of the truth, even if it seems impossible. Outside of investigations, she enjoys starchy foods, especially pasta.

History (biography)

Navia of Genshin Impact is the President of the Spina di Rosula Society, located in the Poisson village of Fontaine. The main goals of the organization are to conduct private investigations and support the people in situations to which the official authorities turn a blind eye. Her father, Callas, was the original founder of this society until he died in a duel. Her mother, Clementina, died during childbirth, so all the affairs of Spina di Rosula fell on the girl's shoulders.

Navia decided to dedicate her life not only to helping the people of Fontaine, but also to investigating the death of her father in order to find out the truth and clear his name. This is how she meets the Traveler representing Lyney the magician in the court. In her youth, the girl also had close friendship with Clorinde, but after she killed Callas in a duel, their relationship became tense.

The development of Navia's story can be found in her quest Rosa Multiflora: Braving the Tides Together.

How to get Navia in Genshin Impact

Navia's next rerun takes place in the first half of the 5.6 update, May 7 to May 27, 2025. Constellations can only be unlocked during the banner period by receiving copies of the heroine.

In order not to miss Navia's rerun, stay tuned for updates in our banner schedule.

Navia stats: Ascension bonus

The main characteristic of Navia is critical damage, which increases along with the character's level. In addition, the base values ​​​​of health (HP), attack power and defense increase. The exact values are shown in the table below.

Navia's abilities

Navia is a damage dealer who specializes in dealing constant Geo damage. By using her elemental skill , she shoots bullets, the damage of which depends on the number of the Crystallize reaction fragments collected. Also, the skill, due to its passive talent, grants normal attacks an infusion. Her Elemental Burst deals periodic area damage.

Next, we’ll take a closer look at how all of Navia’s active abilities work and in what order they should be upgraded. In addition, we will separately analyze the constellations, highlighting the most remarkable ones for unlocking the character’s potential.

Basic (Active) Skills

• Blunt Refusal (normal/charged/plunging attack)

Normal attack: performs up to 4 hits with a claymore.

Charged attack:: Performs a spinning attack on nearby enemies, gradually draining stamina. At the end she performs an additional blow.

Plunging attack: Falls to the ground, hitting all enemies along the way. After landing, deals area damage.

• Ceremonial Crystalshot (Elemental Skill)

Crystal Shrapnel duration: 300 sec.

Cooldown: 9 sec.

Charges: 2.

When a squad member picks up an elemental shard created by a Crystal reaction or activates a Moon Crystal reaction, Navia gains 1 stack. Crystal shrapnel (maximum 6 charges). When receiving new shrapnel, the duration of the current one is reset.

Tap

Consumes all available Crystal Shrapnel and fires multiple Rosula Shardshots, which cause Geo damage:

• The number of bullets depends on the charges: consuming 0/1/2/3 charges fires 5/7/9/11 more bullets respectively.
• The more Rosula Shardshots hit one enemy, the more damage they receive. If all bullets hit the target, they deal 200% of base damage.
• If more than 3 charges of Crystal Shrapnel are consumed, each additional charge increases the shot's damage by an additional 15%.

Hold

Enters targeting mode, picking up elemental shards created by the Crystallize reaction. After the long press is over, the same Rosula Shardshots fly out as with a quick press.

Arkhe: Ousia – When Navia fires Rosula Shardshots, a Surging Blade is summoned every 7 seconds and deals Ousia-aligned Geo damage.

• As the Sunlit Sky's Singing Salute (Elemental Burst)

Duration: 12 sec.

Cooldown: 15 sec.

Energy consumption: 60

Summons a magnificent Rosula Dorata Salute that deals Geo damage in an area and then provides Cannon Fire Support for 12 seconds, periodically attacking nearby enemies. When hitting enemies, cannon shots grant Navia 1 charge of Crystal Shrapnel. The effect occurs once every 1 seconds.

Talent Leveling Order

It is advisable to upgrade all of Navia’s skills simultaneously. If resources are insufficient, we recommend following the sequence below:

1. Elemental Skill - The main source of damage, with high multipliers and fast reloading, for this reason it is a priority.
2. Elemental Burst – an additional method of dealing damage, but in terms of numbers it is slightly inferior to the skill. The ultimate also helps gain charges.
3. Normal attacks – are no less important, since the passive skill Undisclosed Distribution Channels grants them an infusion after using an elemental skill.

In the sub-dead position, the President of Spina di Rosula adheres to rapid rotation, so the priority of leveling up abilities changes slightly:

1. Elemental Burst – while in the previous case the ult mainly needed Geo status and the accumulation of charges, here the damage is no less important, since it works from off-field.
2. Elemental Skill – this is still the character’s strongest button, so if possible it’s worth leveling it up along with your ult.
3. Normal attacks – are practically not used, so they can be left at levels 1-6.

Passive Skills

A complete list of all passive skills is presented in the table:

Constellations

The table shows all the constellations of Navia:

The best constellations of Navia are С1, С2 and С6:

• The first constellation helps restore energy faster and reduces the cooldown of elemental bursts. This does not have a direct effect on damage, but it reduces the energy requirement, practically guaranteeing a stable use of the ultimate.
• The second constellation increases critical chance for elemental skill up to 36%, and also summons Elemental burst Cannon Fire Support with each use of the skill. C2 not only buffs the heroine’s damage, but also makes it possible to deal additional damage.
• The sixth constellation increases elemental skill damage if more than 3 charges of Crystal Shrapnel are consumed. At the same time, all newly consumed charges are returned to Navia. In terms of DPS increase, this is the strongest constellation.

Separately, we note С4, which reduces the Geo resistance of enemies after using an elemental skill. This is a strong constellation, but its implementation largely depends on the situation. It is most effective in the Geo squad, where it will allow Navia to perform the function of a sub-dd, for example, for Itto or Ningguang.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Let us explore in detail what advantages and disadvantages the head of Spina di Rosula has.

Best Navia Builds in Genshin Impact

Navia specializes in dealing constant Geo damage, which is boosted by creating elemental shards using the Crystallize reaction. Mainly takes the position of a a main-dd, since she needs other elements to strengthen herself and causes significant damage.

The President of Spina di Rosula can also be used as a sub-dd, but this will only affect the time spent on the battlefield. In any case, the main task when creating a build for her is increased combat performance. In the following paragraphs we will look in more detail at how to build Navia in Genshin Impact.

Recommended Stats

Navia's build is based on the following stats:

• ATKis the main characteristic which all the heroine’s abilities scale with (depend on), and should be prioritized.
• Crit. damage/crit. chance - an additional way to increase damage dealt with skills and regular attacks.
• Energy recharge- although the elemental burst is not very expensive (60 points), the stat is not superfluous, especially in the absence of a second Geo character.
• Elemental Damage - since the heroine deals elemental damage with all her skills, this will also affect overall damage

Stats that are recommended to look for in artifacts:

Artifact	Main characteristic	Additional stats
Flower of Life	HP (fixed)	Crit Rate CRIT DMG  ATK Energy recharge
Plume of Death	Attack Power (fixed)	Crit Rate CRIT DMG  ATK  Energy recharge
Sands of Eon	ATK	Crit Rate CRIT DMG  Energy Recharge % Elemental Mastery
Goblet of Eonothem	Geo Damage Bonus	Crit Rate CRIT DMG  ATK  Energy recharge
Circlet of Logos	Crit Rate CRIT DMG	CRIT damage / CRIT Rate ATK  Energy recharge  Elemental Mastery

The optimal final values ​​of stats that are desirable to have on the character:

• ATK: 1700 and more.
• Crit Chance и CRIT DMG: ratio 1:2 (for example, 60% crit chance accounts for 120% crit damage). If your Rate exceeds 80%, you can put more emphasis on critical damage.
• Energy recharge: 140-160% and more (without Geo ally), 120-140% and more (with Geo ally).

Best Weapons

Navia's weapons should provide increased attack power, crit. damage/crit chance hits and damage dealt. The most suitable claymores are listed in the table below.

Name	Description	Recommendation
Verdict ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 48-674 CRIT Rate: 4,8%-22.1%	Increases ATK by 20-40%. When party members pick up elemental shards created by the Crystallize Reaction, the equipped character receives 1 Seal, which increases the damage of the elemental skill by 18-36%. The seal lasts 15 seconds. You can have 2 seals at the same time. All seals of the equipped character will disappear after 0,2 seconds after dealing damage with his elemental skill.	Verdict is Navia's signature weapon. It fully matches her playstyle and gives the necessary buffs: increases attack power, elemental skill crit. chance and damage, which is the main source of DPS. The main condition for the claymore to work is to collect fragments of the Crystallize Reaction.
A Thousand Blazing Suns ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Normal attack: 49-741 CRIT Rate: 2.4%-11%	After activating E or ult, gives the effect of Scorching Brilliance, which increases critical damage by 20%-40%, and attack power by 28%-56% for 6 sec. once every 10 sec. Hitting enemies with normal or charged attacks while Scorching Brilliance is active extends the duration of the effect by 2 sec. This extension can occur once every 1 sec, up to a maximum of 1 sec. Scorching Brilliance's effects are increased by 50%-75%, if the weapon's wielder is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state. The effect works even from the pocket.	Navia won't be able to get the buff from the second part of the passive, but will easily implement the first. The weapon will help balance crits and at the same time has a high base attack.
Serpent Spine ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Crit Rate: 6%-27.6%	Every 4 sec. increases the character's damage dealt by 6%-10% and the damage taken by 3%-1,8%while they are active. Can stack up to 5 times, does not reset when changing characters, decreases by 1 stack level when taking damage.	A weapon from the Battle Pass increasing crit. chance and damage dealt. Although the heroine is not always on the field, the claymore is still a decent option and the strongest among epic swords even at R1-R4. Since Navia plays from the Crystallize Reaction, she will receive damage infrequently, which will allow her to implement the passive buff.
The Unforged ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 ATK: 10.8%-49.6%	Increases shield durability by 20%-40%. On hit, increases attack power by 4%-8% for 8 sec. The effect stacks up to 5 times and occurs every 0.3 seconds. While protected by a shield, this effect's attack power bonus is increased by 100%.	Gives a huge increase in attack power due to a high base, main stat and passive. To use all the bonuses, it is enough to be under a shield, for example, from the Crystallize Reaction, and also to attack opponents. Considering that the boost does not fade when switching between heroes, the claymore is suitable for both quick and long-term rotation.
Wolf's Gravestone ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 ATK: 10.8%-49.6%	Increases attack power by 20%-40%. When hitting a target with less than 30% HP, increases the attack power of all party members by 40%-80% for 12 sec. Can occur no more than once per 1 seconds.	A Sword from the standard banner. Provides a significant increase in attack power. It is inferior to The Unforged by 3-4% under equal conditions, but its passive effect is a little more difficult to implement: you need to deal damage to an enemy with HP less than 30%, which is more situational than having a shield, which is almost always present on Navia.
Beacon of the Reed Sea ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 Crit Rate: 7.2%-33.1%	After hitting an enemy with an elemental skill, attack power is increased by 20%-40% for 8 sec. When you take damage, your attack power will increase by 20%-40% for 8 sec. These effects work even if the character is not on the battlefield. If the equipped character is not protected by a shield, his max. HP will increase by 32%-64%.	An equally worthy choice among the legendary two-handed weapons: increases crit. chance, attack power. And if the first part of the passive effect is activated without any problems, since it is enough to use an elemental skill, the second half rarely works due to the specifics of the gameplay, which is tied to the game from the Crystallize Reaction, that is, the creation of a shield.
Redhorn Stonethresher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 CRIT DMG: 19.2%-88-2%	Defence increases by 28%-56%, the damage of normal and charged attacks is increased by 40%-80% of defence.	Claymore with an extremely high increase in crit. damage. Since crit. Damage increases with ascension, you can achieve impressive values of this parameter. The only caveat is its low base attack. This can be compensated for by the third passive, Bennett or Sara.
Skyward Pride ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 48-674 Energy recharge: 8%-36.8%	Increases damage dealt by 8-16%. After activating an elemental burst, hits with normal or charged attacks release an intangible blade that deals 80-160% damage to all enemies in its path. Lasts 20 seconds or 8 blades.	Another sword from the standard banner. Like Navia's signature, it has a high base, which has a positive effect on DPS. At the same time, it boosts energy recharge, helping to charge the ultimate faster, and increase all the damage done. An additional source of damage is the intangible blade, which appears after activating an elemental burst or hitting with basic attacks.
Song of Broken Piness ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 49-741 Physical Damage Bonus: 4.5%-20.7%	Increases attack power by 16%-32%, when hitting with a normal or charged attack every 0.3 sec. gives the character the Sigil of Whispers. After receiving the 4th Sigil of Whispers, they are spent and all nearby party members gain Millennial Movement: Banner-Hymn for 12 seconds, increasing their normal attack speed by 12%-24% and ATK by  20%-40%. After activating the effect, a new Sigil of Whispers cannot be obtained for 20 seconds. Millennial Movements of the same type do not stack.	Despite its main stat being physical damage, the weapon has a high base attack (the largest for the two-handed legendaries), and also increases the ATK and attack speed. The requirement for obtaining max. bonus and Sigils of Whispers is using basic attacks. That is, after activating the skill, it is advisable to make several consecutive hits (4 and more).
Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword (F2P) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Energy recharge: 6.2%-30.62%	Increases ATK by 12-24%. In addition, depending on the number of Melusines of Merusea Village that have been assisted, the attack power is further increased by 12-24%.	This weapon was a reward for the event in patch 4.3. Provides energy recovery and attack power. At the same time, with full awakening and all stacks of the passive effect, it gets to the top 5 thanks to a huge increase in attack. At the same time, its plus and minus is that it's obtained and awakened to the maximum during the event.
Talking Stick ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Crit Rate: 4%-18,4%	Increases ATK by 16-32% for 15 sec. after receiving a Pyro effect. This effect can occur once every 12 sec. After receiving the effects of Hydro, Cryo, Electro or Dendro, elemental damage bonus for 15 sec. increases by 12-24%. Can occur once every 12 sec.	A weapon from the Battle Pass with the specific condition that the character must be under elemental statuses to receive buffs. Since Navia is a Geo, she is not able to activate the effect herself, which means the sword can only be used in certain teams. In particular, the Pyro status for attack power can be obtained from Bennett/Xinyan, Electro status – from Dori, Hydro status – from Barbara.
Tidal Shadow (F2P) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 42-510 ATK: 9%-41,4%	Attack power after being healed is increased by 24-48% for 8 sec. The effect works even when the character is not on the battlefield.	Fontaine's craft claymore. Unlike the previous option, it is always available. Similarly, it increases attack power, but does not offer other enhancements and requires the presence of a healer, which is not always used in squads with Navia, since most of the time team members are under elemental shields from the Crystallize Reaction.
Blackcliff Slasher ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Critical Damage: 12%-55,1%	Each enemy defeated increases attack power by 12%-24% for 30 sec. The effect stacks up to 3 times.	Navia deals enormous damage with her skill, which practically guarantees at least one enemy killed. Already with 1 stack, the weapon is a good alternative to other weapons, and at R5 and all stacks it becomes of the same level as legendary two-handed weapons due to an attack boost and an increase in crit. damage.  However, it is worth considering that the passive does not work on bosses, since you must defeat the enemy in order to activate the bonus.
Lithic Blade ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 ATK: 9%-41,4%	Each member of the Liyue squad increases the attack power of a character equipped with this weapon by 7-11%, and their crit chance by 3-7%. The effect can stack up to 4 times.	The Claymore provides useful buffs: a decent amount of attack power and crit. chance. However, to do this, Navia's team must have characters from Liyue (at least one). This also limits and narrows down the possible build options, since it will not be possible to use a two-handed weapon with all heroes, especially if you want to fully implement the passive.
Prototype Archaic (F2P) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 ATK: 6%-27,6%	When hitting with a Normal or Charged Attack, has a 50% chance to deal 240%-480% additional damage in a small radius every 15 sec.	Crafted sword of Mondstadt. The passive effect does not give the heroine any noticeable boosts, but only allows her to deal additional damage within a certain radius after hitting enemies with regular or charged attacks. However, this is a pretty good claymore in the early stages of the game.
Debate Club (F2P) ⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 39-401 ATK: 7,7%-35,2%	When hiting with an elemental skill, normal and charged attacks deal additional 60%-120% damage in a small area damage over 15 sec. Can occur once every 3 seconds.	If you have just started your journey and do not have any weapons, you can equip the Debate Club, which, thanks to its 3-star rarity, often drops in banners. Like the Prototype, it is an excellent weapon for beginners, it provides the character with attack power and makes it possible to inflict additional damage with basic hits.

Swords that are best used in the sub-dd position due to bonuses for elemental burst and energy recovery:

Name	Description	Recommendation
Akuoumaru ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 ATK: 9%-41,3%	The elemental burst damage of the character equipped with this weapon is increased by 0,12%-0,24% for each point of max. energy of each member of the squad. Damage bonus cannot exceed 40%-80%.	Claymore increases attack power and elemental burst damage based on max. energy of team members. To optimally implement the passive effect, it is advisable to have at least 60 energy on your allies' ultimates.
Luxurious Sea-Lord (F2P) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 41-454 ATK: 12%-55,1%	Increases elemental burst damage by 12%-24%. Hitting an enemy with an elemental burst has a 100% chance to summon a huge onrush of tuna that attacks and deals AoE damage equal to 100%-200% of attack power. Can occur once every 15 seconds.	A two-handed sword that could be obtained in patch 2.1. Increases attack power and slightly less elemental burst damage, but does not depend on the amount of energy of teammates. The passive effect also allows you to deal additional damage after hitting an enemy with your ult.
Katsuragikiri Nagamasa ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Energy recharge: 10%-45,9%	Increases elemental skill damage by 6%-12%. When an elemental skill hits an enemy, the character loses 3 energy but restores 3-5 energy every 2 sec. for the next 6 sec. The effect can occur once every 10 sec. The effect can work even when the character is not on the field.	Crafted Inazuma sword. In addition to providing a small bonus to your elemental skill, the weapon also helps you regenerate energy faster and works outside of the battlefield. This pairs well with Navia's fast rotation and gameplay as a sub-DD.
Favonius Greatsword ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack 41-454 Energy recharge 13,3-61,3%	Critical attacks with a chance of 60-100% can create elemental particles that replenish 6 energy. The effect triggers once every 12-6 seconds.	Provides a large amount of energy recovery for both the heroine and other allies due to the fact that critical attacks create particles that can be used by the rest of the team. Since Navia's ult works outside of the battlefield, she will be able to generate them even while inactive.
Sacrificial Greatsword ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Normal attack: 44-565 Energy recharge: 6,7%-30,6%	When an elemental skill deals damage, there is a 40%-80% chance of resetting its cooldown. May occur once per 30-16 sec.	The Sacrificial Greatsword not only provides energy, but also has a chance to refresh elemental skill cooldown. Although the cooldown of the skill is not that long (9 seconds), this will allow you to create more energy particles in one rotation.

Best Artifacts

Like weapons, Navia's artifacts should increase her attack power, crits, and elemental damage. The table below lists all the sets and combinations of sets that are suitable for the heroine.

Name	Description	Recommendation
Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases attack power by 18%. 4 parts: After using an elemental skill, Geo damage bonus for 10 sec. increases by 20%. If the character is protected by a shield created by the Crystallize Reaction, this effect is increased by 150%. 1 sec. After losing the shield, this additional increase disappears.	Signature set of artifacts for Navia: increases attack power and elemental damage (Geo). The 4-piece effect triggers on its own during the rotation. The President of Spina di Rosula deals damage with her elemental skill, and also spends most of the time under a shield from the Crystallize Reaction, receiving +50% damage to her element.
Gladiator’s Finale Archaic Petra Golden Troupe	2 of: Increases attack power by 18%. 2 parts: Increases Geo damage by 15%. 2 Piece: Increases elemental skill damage by 20%.	If you don’t have a full Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods set, you can combine artifacts for attack power (which also includes Whispers), Geo damage, or an elemental skill bonus. The most versatile and powerful combination is 2 ATK parts + 2 Geo damage parts.
Golden Troupe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	2 Piece: Increases elemental skill damage by 20%. 4 parts: Increases elemental skill damage by 25%. In addition, when the character is not on the battlefield, the damage of the elemental skill is additionally increased by 25%. After 2 sec. after entering the battle, the effect disappears.	Since Navia's elemental skill deals most of the damage, she's able to wear the full set of the Golden Troupe, which provides a 45% buff to E damage. The only thing is that the heroine cannot use the second part of the passive, since her skill does not deal damage from off-field. But even in this case, the set works well for her, especially if there are good pieces.
Brave Heart ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases attack power by 18%. 4 parts: Increases damage by 30% against enemies with HP above 50%.	A good set for beginners. Increases attack power, which affects all of the character's abilities, as well as overall damage against enemies if their health has dropped to half or less. The set can be used until the required sets are obtained.
Gambler ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases elemental skill damage by 20%. 4 parts: Defeating an enemy has a 100% chance of restoring the cooldown of an elemental skill. Can occur once every 15 seconds.	An alternative starting set for increasing the damage of an elemental skill (E). In addition to the main boost, the artifact rolls back the cooldown time of the skill.

If you use Navia as a sub-dd and want to focus on team support, rather than her own damage, you can equip the following sets:

Name	Description	Recommendation
Archaic Petra ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases Geo damage by 15%. 4 parts: An elemental shard formed by the Crystallize reaction picked up by a character grants 35% bonus to elemental damage of the corresponding element to all party members for 10 sec. You can only have one element's damage bonus at a time.	A set that increases the elemental damage of allies. To buff teammates, you need to create shards triggering reactins of Geo and the element that requires the bonus. Pick a shard up with Navia, and then switch to the hero of this element and attack.
Noblesse Oblige ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	2 Piece: Increases elemental burst damage by 20%. 4 Piece: Activating an elemental burst increases the attack power of all party members by 20% for 12 seconds. The effect does not stack.	Another support set. Aimed at increasing the attack power of allies when using Navia's ultimate. Its only downside is that the elemental burst rolls back for 3 seconds, longer than the passive effect of the set lasts, which means there will be some downtime.

Teams

When setting up Navia's teams, it's worth considering that she synergizes best with characters who interact with Geo (Pyro, Electro, Hydro and Cryo). This combination will allow you to deal more damage not only with an elemental skill thanks to the fragments from the Crystallize Reaction, but also due to the passive talent Mutual Assistance Network, which increases the attack power in the presence of allies of the elements in question.

Although Navia prefers to play in the position of a main dps, her playstyle involves switching between squad members and a revolver playstyle. In other words, she is not a classic main DD who needs to spend a lot of time on the battlefield, which allows her to be used in conjunction with other damage dealers. In this case, the head of Spina di Rosula is not quite a support, but rather an alternative source of damage.

Best Characters

The following are the heroes who can be parts of Navia's squads. They are all sorted by their roles.

Secondary damage dealer

Characters that deal additional damage from off-field.

Dehya	Pyro	Claymore	Her skill creates a fiery prison where enemies receive damage. Also, during its existence, part of the damage received by allies is transferred to Dehya.
Xiangling	Pyro	Polearm	All active skills deal damage from off-field, which allows Navia to effectively use her Pyro status to create fragments.

Characters for Navia's revolver teams. If you want to use the heroine specifically as a sub-dd, we advise you to take a closer look not only at the allies we list above, but also to these ones.

Character	Element	Weapon	Description
Neuvillette	Hydro	Catalyst:	One of the strongest Hydro damage dealers who relies on charged attacks to deal damage and has no problem causing the Crystallize Reaction.

Top Teams

Let's look at Navia's best teams, depending on her role in the group.

Teams with a main-dd Navia

These are the teams where the head of Spina di Rosula is the main source of damage and spends more time on the field than other allies.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Navia	Fischl Yae Miko	Beidou	Xilonen	A balanced squad that has both healing and protection from Beidou's shield (at C1) and buffs. Electro Resonance makes it easier to activate elemental bursts, and Geo Resonance works with the shield. Fischl and Beidou's skills are best used after the Xilonen distributes her set buff, as these abilities have a snapshot mechanic.
Navia	Chiori Xilonen	Xiangling Mavuika Pyro MC	Bennett	Team with Pyro and Geo resonance. Xiangling's ult or Mavuika's E is enough for stable Pyro status on enemies, despite Geo from Navia and Chiori. Bennett heals and buffs Navia and Xiangling/Mavuika/PyroMC for ATK. Chiori can be replaced with Xilonen to increase the squad's damage and additional survivability.
Navia	Xingqiu Yelan	Furina Mona	Xilonen	A team similar in concept to the previous one, but with a Hydro sub-dd. Yelan and Xingqiu can be used simultaneously, not just one of them. If you chose Mona, then it is better to equip her not for damage, but for buffs, using the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers and transmitting the boost to Navia herself.
Navia	Furina Xingqiu Yelan	Dehya Xiangling Mavuika	Bennett Jean	A squad with Pyro and Hydro characters. First, Bennett/Jean and Navia use their ults, then Hydro characters to so. Dehya, the Pyro Archon or Xiangling use abilities from the pocket, while collecting shards. At the end, Navia comes out again, dealing increased damage with her elemental skill.
Navia	Albedo Yun Jin	Ganyu Kaeya Rosaria	Thoma	Team with Pyro, Cryo and Geo. As in the previous case, Navia is the first to enter the battlefield and activate her elemental burst. The rest of the heroes do the same. Albedo/Yun Jin helps create more shards and restore energy faster.
Navia	Nahida	Raiden Beidou	Xingqiu Yelan	Team with Electro and Hydro, supported by Nahida. Max. increase in attack power from Navia's passive comes from two types of elements. Nahida increases reaction damage and also causes a Quicken effect when interacting with Electro. For Beidou, it is desirable to have 190-200% energy recovery.
Navia	Furina	Candace	Shinobu Dori Charlotte	A squad buffing Navia. Furina deals Hydro damage and increases damage. Candace buffs the damage of Navia's regular attacks while infused, but at C6 she can deal additional damage fro moff-field. Kuki Shinobu/Dori do healing and apply Electro status. They can be replaced, for example, with Charlotte, so that there is massive healing.
Navia	Yae Miko Beidou	Raiden Fischl	Kokomi Barbara	Charged Squad. Electro characters attack opponents and inflict elemental status from the pocket during Navia's ult, after which the boss of Spina di Rosula uses her skill and normal attacks. Kokomi or Barbara help with Hydro effects and healing.
Navia	Ganyu Kaeya Rosaria	Dehya Mavuika	Charlotte Mika	A team with Pyro and Cryo characters. Dehya/Mavuika use their skills for fire damage from the pocket (can be replaced with Xiangling). Ganyu/Keiya/Rosaria use their ultimates to apply Cryo to enemies. Charlotte and Mika are also able to deal some damage while healing allies.
Navia	Xiangling Pyro MC	Kaeya Lisa	Noelle	Free squad. Classic rotation: Noelle creates a shield, Navia ults, then Xiangling and Kaeya/Lisa alternate elemental bursts, then Navia enters the arena, destroying enemies with a skill and normal attacks. If you need to heal the squad, deal damage with Noelle's ult while her shield is active. Xiangling can be freed up for another team by replacing her with Pyro Traveler.
Navia	Ningguang	Mona Xingqiu	Bennett	The rotation starts with Bennett's ultimate, after which Ningguang uses her elemental skill (and ult, if charged). Navia then comes out and walks through Ningguang's screen, gaining a 15% bonus to Geo damage, and activates her burst. Mona/Xingqiu uses her abilities and picks up the shards. At the end, Navia finishes off enemies with an elemental skill.

Teams with a sub-dd Navia

Squads in which the heroine shares her time in the arena with another damage dealer, helping with additional damage out of the pocket.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Tartaglia Ayato	Navia	Yun Jin Xilonen	Xiangling	Tartaglia/Ayato deal damage under the Yunjin/Xilonen buff, Navia's ult, and Xiangling's shard pickup. Ayato can also be a secondary DPS due to his Elemental Burst, which works off-field and is useful when the head of Spina di Rosula hits with her elemental skill.
Yoimiya Hu Tao Klee Diluc	Navia	Xingqiu Yelan	Zhongli Xilonen Layla	A squad with Pyro damage dealers. Thanks to Navia's ultimate ability, which creates fragments, and Zhongli/Layla's shield or Xilonen's heal, the squad's survivability is quite high. The synergy with Yoimiya is especially good, as she can provide Pyro status from the pocket with her elemental burst.
Neuvillette Wriothesley	Navia	Furina Mona Rosaria	Jean Xilonen Baizhu	A team with heroes from Fontaine. If you didn't choose Xilonen as a healer, you can equip Navia with the Archaic Petra. This way, while on the battlefield, she will be able to pick up elemental shards and increase the elemental damage of the corresponding element.
Ayaka	Navia	Xiangling	Rosaria Shenhe	Melt Team with Ayaka. After characters in 2-4 positions have activated their skills, Ayaka comes out and deals damage with charged/normal attacks. After the swordswoman uses her skills, you need to switch to Navia and use the elemental skill (provided that the characters collected the fragments). Xiangling is used for Pyro status and is the only hero of her element, so she needs to gain as much energy recovery as possible.
Keqing	Navia	Fischl Yae Miko	Bennett Xilonen	A mobile squad with quick character swapping. Since neither Keqing, nor Navia, nor Yae Miko/Fischl require much time on the battlefield, they can switch between each other as their main abilities cool down. Also, don't forget to use Bennett's skill to gain energy, or Shilonen's E for a permanent buff.

How to play Navia

Navia is a Geo damage dealer whose skill set is based on the use of shards created by the Crystallize Reaction. Each time one of the squad members picks them up, Navia receives charges that her elemental skill converts into bullets and deals high damage. When holding the skill, she goes into aiming mode and collects fragments on the battlefield.

Her Elemental Burst deals Geo damage to an area and then provides artillery fire for a certain amount of time. Each cannon shot that hits an enemy grants additional charges of Crystal Shrapnel. Normal attacks after unlocking the passive talent Undisclosed Distribution Channels receive Geo infusion and in some cases become part of the rotation.

The basis of playing as the leader of Spina di Rosula is to constantly switching between all characters in a team with the aim of collecting fragments from the Crystallize Reaction. This allows you to quickly accumulate Crystal Shrapnel charges and, as a result, increase the damage dealt by Rosula Shardshots from an elemental skill.

Rotation

Navia's rotations may vary depending on the composition of the team or the situation on the battlefield. Let's consider the optimal sequence of actions for two styles of play.

Long rotation

This sequence of actions suits Navia in the position of a a main-dd. She stays on the battlefield longer than others, as she performs a series of regular attacks filled with Geo Infusion in her rotation. It is important that allies have abilities that work from off-field.

The long rotation looks as follows:

1. Quickly tap an elemental skill to build up energy. If the ult is charged, you can skip the step.
2. Activate the elemental burst that will provide Cannon Fire Support for 12 seconds.
3. While the ultimate is active, switch to the sub-dps and use their skills, while simultaneously collecting fragments from the Crystallize Reaction.
4. After all allies have picked up the fragments, switch to Navia and use her elemental skill.
5. Use 3 normal attacks, cancel the last hit animation, and then perform 1-2 attacks again.
6. Repeat from step #1 until you defeat all enemy targets.

Fast rotation

This rotation is suitable for short battles or for Navia in the position of a sub-dd. Her time in the arena is reduced due to the lack of combos from normal attacks, and there is also a greater emphasis on other allies, such as the main damage dealer.

Let's take a closer look at quick rotation:

1. As in the first case, it is necessary to pre-charge the elemental burst. To do this, use an elemental skill.
2. Use your ultimate ability to cause cannon shots to deal periodic Geo damage in an area.
3. Swap to sub-dd and then to main-dd. Attack and collect fragments until the elemental burst ends.
4. Return to Navia and activate her elemental skill by firing Rosula Shardshots at one or more enemies.
5. Switch to your allies again and use their skills to finish off your opponents.
6. If necessary, repeat from step #1.

Сonclusion

Navia in Genshin impact is Geo damage dealer, whose playstyle and mechanics are based on interaction with various elements. Not only does the President of Spina di Rosula gain bonus attack power from other elements through her passive talent, but she also relies on using shards created by the Crystallize Reaction to deal increased elemental skill damage.

Thanks to her elemental burst that works from the pocket, she can act as an additional source of damage/sub-damage. She doesn't need much time on the battlefield, so she can effectively share it with other damage dealers. Before unlocking C4, she does not provide any advantage to other Geo characters and does not buff the element in any way, but does provide an opportunity to reveal it from a new side.

We hope we helped you create the best build for Navia in Genshin Impact. Stay tuned for new builds on our site to effectively use each character and clear all available content. Also, here's a separate article on best team setups.
