What’s the best Navia build?
Navia is a five-star geo claymore wielder. She has a unique kit that makes use of the crystallize reaction, with a strong skill that offers reliable, front-loaded damage. Additionally, the fact that she scales off attack means she can benefit from a variety of buffs, including Genshin Impact Bennett’s elemental burst.

Navia’s best weapon is her signature five-star claymore, Verdict, and her best artifact set is Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods. When building Navia, you should keep in mind that she’s quite energy-hungry, so you should focus on getting enough energy recharge first, then boosting her crit and attack.
When leveling up Navia’s talents, we recommend prioritizing her elemental skill first, then her normal attack, then her elemental burst.

How to use Navia
Navia is best suited to the role of on-field DPS, where her elemental skill acts as her main source of damage. The damage of her skill is boosted through her Crystal Shrapnel Charges, which you earn through the crystallize reaction and her elemental burst.
This means that you should aim to start your rotation with Navia’s elemental burst, then swap to her teammates to apply elements and trigger crystallize reactions, then swap back to Navia to use her skill and normal attack combos.
What’s the best weapon for Navia?
Navia’s best weapon is her signature five-star claymore, Verdict. It provides her with both attack% and skill damage%. However, don’t worry if you don’t manage to snap it up – as highlighted in this Keqingmains Navia quick guide, Verdict’s stats aren’t significant enough to make it vastly superior to other five-star weapons or even Serpent Spine.
Speaking of which, the four-star battle pass claymore Serpent Spine is actually one of Navia’s strongest weapons, offering heaps of damage. It’s on par with other five-star options at lower refinement ranks and can outperform Verdict at R5 – so if you have one on hand, it’s certainly a great choice.
Alternatively, you can go with Beacon of the Reed Sea or Redhorn Stonethresher if you have those available. Or, for a more accessible option, Tidal Shadow is Navia’s best craftable option – however, its passive does require her to be healed in order to activate, so just keep that in mind if you decide to go with this option.
