Nahidais a unit that can benefit from many different stats inGenshin Impact. She mostly requires Elemental Mastery, but other stats like Attack, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and Dendro Damage Bonus are all great too.
The key to properly building Nahida is the ability to balance her stats out. Elemental Mastery is good, yes, but having too much of it is not ideal either. Finding out Nahida’s best weapon inGenshin Impactis necessary to maximize the DPS from her Elemental Skill,allowing her to shine as a Sub-DPS.
Updated on July 15, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Nahida is still one of the best Dendro characters in Genshin Impact. Her ability to consistently apply Dendro while dealing so much DMG makes her a must-have forany team that needs a Dendro unit. Not only that, she’s also capable of evolving with the meta as her utility keeps proving to be useful with every new mechanic introduced to the game. For that, this guide will be updated to include more Supportive weapons for Nahida in Genshin Impact.
16Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayersallows Nahida to greatly increase the next character’ ATK by 48%. It can be beneficial for a DPS who scales with ATK, but not at the cost of losing some of Nahida’s DPS and utility. Unfortunately, other than the ATK% buff, Nahida doesn’t takeanything else from Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, which makes it a niche choice for Nahida’s best weapons.
15Favonius Codex
Favonius weapons inGenshin Impactcan always be a good choice for Supports because of their ability to regenerate Energy for the team. While Nahida doesn’t need this extra utility since she’s operating many useful ones on her own, it’s still a good addition for her if you’re struggling to find a good Catalyst for Nahida inGenshin Impact.
14Magic Guide
Considering how good Nahida is, it’s not at all a bad idea for beginner players to get her in the early game. Since Sumeru area is not quest-locked like Inazuma, it won’t even be hard to access the required boss for Nahida’s Ascension inGenshin Impact.Magic Guideis a viable weapon for players who don’t have access to better Catalyst; it increases Elemental Mastery by a large amount while also buffing Nahida’s damage against enemies affected by Hydro or Electro, so it’s perfect for both Bloom and Quicken team comp.
13Blackcliff Agate
Blackcliff Agateis always good fordamage dealers inGenshin Impactbecause of its CRIT DMG substat and ATK bonus. However, for Nahida, this Catalyst exists mostly just for the substat. She benefits from the ATK buff, but not as much as she would with Elemental Mastery. Additionally, as a Sub-DPS, it can be hard for her to ensure the passive continuously stacks.
12Sacrificial Fragments
Nahida doesn’treally need the passive of Sacrificial Fragmentsconsidering her Elemental Skill only needs five or six seconds to be available again. Meanwhile, her Tri-Karma Purification stays for up to 25 seconds. However, this Catalyst is good for its immense Elemental Mastery substat.
11Sacrificial Jade
Sacrificial Jadeoffers a decent amount of Crit Rate and Elemental Mastery for Nahida inGenshin Impact. It’s not a perfect weapon for her, but definitely a useful one. With Sacrificial Jade, you’re able to build Nahida with more Crit DMG, especially considering she also gets an extra Crit Rate from her Ascension Passive. The extra Elemental Mastery is also nice since it’s one of herCore stats inGenshin Impact.
10Hakushin Ring
Hakushin Ringis only viable for Nahida if players areplaying her in a Quicken team composition. At the cost of her personal DMG, Nahida can grant Elemental DMG buff for both Electro and Dendro characters. One thing to keep in mind is that she needs to trigger the Elemental Reaction for the passive to take effect.
9Wandering Evenstar
Wandering Evenstaris a weapon-banner exclusive, so getting it may be tough. At R1, thebuff provided by this weaponis not too significant, but at R5, it’s a decent option. However, of course, buffing the team should not be the main purpose for this Catalyst, since 144 extra ATK for the team from 1000 Elemental Mastery (at R5) is not that high, while 480 extra ATK for the wielder is a great addition.
8Solar Pearl
Solar Pearlcan easily buff Nahida’s Elemental Skill DMG as long as players use her Normal attacks first. At maximum refinement, this battle pass weapon can get close to a low-stacked Kagura’s Verity. Since the Spiral Abyss requires players to be as fast as possible, Solar Pearl’s performance shouldn’t be underestimated.
7Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds
Lost Prayer to the Sacred Windsis actually not that good for Nahida, but the fact that it is a5-star weapon inGenshin Impactsaves it from being underwhelming. The weapon’s passive is good if players are playing her actively on the field, but considering she shines better as a Sub-DPS, the passive sadly has to go to waste.
