Best teams for Navia in Genshin Impact

Navia is a unique 5-star Geo Claymore character in Genshin Impact. Her kit uses Crystallize reactions to buff her Skill damage, forcing a different approach to team-building than other Geo characters🔯. Here are so🔜me of my favorite teams for Navia as both an on-field and quickswap DPS!

Unlike some other Geo DPS units, Navia should avoid a mono Geo team. Noelle and Itto can get away without reactions, but Navia requires Crystallize shards to increase her Skill 💃damage.

Best teams for Navia mains

If you’re a Navia main, then you probably want to maximize Navia’s damage output as an on-field DPS. As an on-fielder, Navia will use every part of her kit, from her Normal Attacks to her Skill and Burไst. All three Talents should be leveled, but prioritize her Skill if you have to choose.

In general, you c๊an mix and match from these ♋options:

• Bennett – Since Navia scales with ATK, Bennett’s massive ATK buff makes her hit that much harder.
• Xiangling – If you’re bringing Bennett, why not Xiangling too? She deals off-field Pyro damage and helps to create Crystallize shards.
• Fischl – Oz’s damage is primarily single-target, but he does a great job of making sure enemies have Electro on them for more Crystallize reactions.
• Xingqiu / Yelan – Both Xingqiu and Yelan deal great single-target damage as long as Navia is using Normal Attacks. Their Hydro application is also useful for Crystallize.
• Furina – Furina pulls triple duty. She deals damage, buffs her teammates’ damage, and applies Hydro for Crystallize. You’ll need a strong healer though, and Bennett alone might not cut it.
• Zhongli / Albedo – Having a second Geo character activates Geo Resonance, increasing Navia’s damage while shielded. Zhongli has more consistent shielding and RES shred, but Albedo deals more damage and more reliably produces Geo particles.

Navia – Albedo – Furina – Mika

This team has two off-field damage dealers on top of Navia. Albedo provides Geo particles to fund Navia’s Burst and Furina buffs the team’s damage. Mika may sound like an odd choice, but his healing is enough to counter Furina’s health drain and his ATK SPD buff lets Navia get a few more Normal Attacks in. Mika can also hold the 4pc Noblesse Oblige artifact set, further buffing Navia’s damage.

Navia – Zhongli – Bennett – Xiangling

Double Geo and double✨ Pyro means you get both Geo and Pyro Resonance effects, increasing Navia’s damage. Just make sure Xiangling is standing on Bennett’s circle before she Bursts. Navia will also want to stay in Bennett’s circle as much as s✤he can while she’s on-field.

Best teams for quickswap Navia

If you prefer less field time for Navia, you can play her as a quickswap DPS. Note that this playstyle decreases Navia’s personal damage significantly, since she will only be on-field f💎or a quick Skill and Burst with no Normal Attacks. Stꦗill, quickswap Navia is a valid playstyle, and can be useful if you want to funnel Geo particles to someone like Noelle. 

Quickswap Navia 🌊is also a bett🉐er use case for the 4pc Golden Troupe artifact set, since Navia will be spending more time off-field.

Noelle – Navia – Furina – Gorou

This team features Noelle as the primary on-field DPS, while Navia deals additional damage and provides Energy. Noelle and Gorou’s healing combined should be enough to offset Furina’s health drain effect. Noelle’s Burst persists even after switching to a different character, so you can interruꦗpt Noelle’s combo to use Navia’s Skill or refresh Gorou’s buffs.

Navia – Ningguang – Bennett – Xiangling

This is more of a true quickswap team, switching between Navia and Ningguang as their Skill and Burst cooldowns allow. Bennett and Xian♒gling form a powerful core that buffs the team, deals Pyro damage, and enables Cryst🐻allize.

Best free-to-play teams for Navia

So you’ve got Navia, but not many other 5-stars? No problem! Navia is extremely🧸 free-to-play friendly. Here are some teams for Navia that are easy on the budget.

Navia – Xingqiu – Bennett – Xiangling

Good old National, but with Navia at the helm. Xiangling can still Vaporize most of her Burst damage, and there’s plenty of Crystallize to fuel 🦹Navia’s Skill ꧋hits.

Navia – Geo Traveler – Bennett – Xiangling

This is more of a quickswap team that swaps between Navia and Geo Traveler to d꧋eal damage with their skills. Bennett and Xiangling are just too powerful to pass up, even without H♐ydro for Vaporize.

Noelle – Navia – Fischl – Gorou

If you want to escape the Bennett-Xiangling meta, try running a Noelle team with Fischl. You’ll definitely want Constellations on both Noelle and Gorou, but at least they’re easier to obtain than 5-stars.
