Nahida, the Dendro Archon, is a versatile character in Genshin Impact, fitting seamlessly into various team compositions. Although she shines with high-tier five-star characters, Nahida can also excel in Free-to-Play (F2P) teams. Here are five team recommendations that effectively use Dendro elemental reactions and help you maximize Nahida’s potential on a budget. Let’s dive into each team and how each character contributes to the overall synergy.
1. Hyperbloom Team: Nahida, Xingqiu, Kuki Shinobu, and a Flexible Character
Team Composition: Nahida, Xingqiu (or Barbara if you don’t have Xingqiu), Kuki Shinobu, and a flexible fourth character—preferably avoid Pyro.
This Hyperbloom team capitalizes on the Hyperbloom reaction triggered when Dendro interacts with Hydro, followed by Electro. Nahida serves as the main Dendro applicator, while Xingqiu provides consistent Hydro with his Rain Swords. If Xingqiu isn’t available, Barbara is a good alternative due to her healing abilities and stable Hydro application. Kuki Shinobu triggers the Hyperbloom reaction with her Electro skills and also heals the team, keeping everyone’s health in check.
The fourth slot is flexible, but Pyro characters are best avoided to prevent unintended Burning reactions. An Anemo character like Sucrose or the Anemo Traveler can add crowd control and help amplify elemental reactions by grouping enemies.
2. Burgeon Team: Nahida, Xingqiu, Thoma, and a Healer
Team Composition: Nahida, Xingqiu, Thoma, and a flexible fourth character (recommended healer like Barbara or Yaoyao).
The Burgeon team revolves around the Burgeon reaction, created when Dendro and Pyro react after a Hydro effect is applied. Nahida serves as the main Dendro source, Xingqiu provides Hydro, while Thoma uses his Pyro to trigger Burgeon explosions. Thoma is ideal for this setup because he can shield the team from the explosive effects of Burgeon reactions.
A healer is recommended for the fourth slot to ensure the team stays healthy amid the Burgeon explosions. Barbara is a good choice due to her consistent Hydro application and healing, while Yaoyao can provide extra Dendro support without interfering with the desired elemental reactions. Avoid using Electro characters to prevent interference with the Burgeon setup.
3. Bloom Team: Nahida, Xingqiu, Mona, and a Flexible Healer
Team Composition: Nahida, Xingqiu, Mona, and a recommended healer like Barbara, Diona, or Yaoyao.
The Bloom team focuses on the Bloom reaction, which occurs from Dendro and Hydro interaction. Nahida is the primary Dendro applicator, while Xingqiu or Mona ensures steady Hydro coverage. Mona is especially effective in this team due to her strong Hydro application and her elemental burst, which can add an extra damage buff.
For the fourth slot, a healer who doesn’t trigger unwanted reactions with Dendro is preferable. Barbara or Yaoyao works well due to their reliable healing without introducing unnecessary elemental interactions. The healer will also help the team withstand any Bloom Seed explosions that occur near the characters.
4. Aggravate Team: Nahida, Yaoyao, Fischl, and Keqing
Team Composition: Nahida, Yaoyao, Fischl, and Keqing.
This Aggravate team leverages the Aggravate reaction, triggered by Dendro and Electro. Nahida is the main Dendro applicator here, while Fischl and Keqing provide consistent Electro to create Aggravate reactions. Aggravate increases Electro damage when Electro is triggered by Dendro, making it ideal for characters with rapid attacks like Fischl and Keqing.
Yaoyao serves as the healer and provides additional Dendro support, ensuring a stable application of Dendro while keeping the team’s health up. This setup is effective for dealing consistent Electro damage while maintaining durability.
5. Rainbow Team: Nahida, Xingqiu, Bennett, and Razor
Team Composition: Nahida, Xingqiu, Bennett, and Razor.
The Rainbow team combines multiple elements, allowing for various elemental reactions. Nahida is the Dendro applicator who triggers reactions based on the other elements present. Xingqiu adds Hydro, which can result in Bloom when paired with Dendro, while Bennett provides Pyro to trigger Burning effects. Razor contributes Electro, allowing for Aggravate or Hyperbloom reactions.
This team can be a bit more challenging to control due to the mix of elements, but it has high AoE (area-of-effect) potential and access to different types of elemental damage. Bennett and Xingqiu provide adequate healing, and Razor serves as the primary DPS.
These are five recommended F2P-friendly teams for Nahida in Genshin Impact. Each team has its unique playstyle and elemental reactions to make the most of Nahida’s abilities. Try these teams and find the one that best suits your gameplay style. Happy adventuring, and may these team setups help you conquer the game’s toughest challenges!
