Nahida fills the void in Genshin Impact which desperately requires a good off-field Dendro enabler. Just like a typical archon, she has a 100% up-time on her Elemental Skill. This pattern is also available for Zhongli who can shield permanently and Raiden Shogun who can buff Elemental Burst DMG throughout the combat duration.

As long as players ensure that surrounded enemies are affected by her Seed of Skandha, Nahida will keep following any Elemental reactions or Bloom DMG with a Dendro DMG, creating an endless chain of numbers. For this to occur, it’s crucial to pair Nahida with her best Genshin Impact team composition.

Updated on April 11, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: As the Dendro Archon in Genshin Impact, Nahida is arguably the best Dendro user in Genshin Impact. Players can include Nahida in any team comp and she would perform magnificently. For that, she’s always going to be a most sought-after character on each and every one of Nahida rerun banners in Genshin Impact. Now, since Nahida rerun banner is coming back for the first time on Genshin Impact 3.6, this guide is going to be updated to include new Nahida team comps that proved to be worthy.

10 Nahida + Xingqiu + Dendro MC + Kuki Shinobu

Nahida and Xingqiu can create a massive amount of Dendro Cores together, which is extremely important for Hyperbloom team comps in Genshin Impact. Since Nahida is going to be the main DPS in this team, it’s better to build her with Gilded Dreams to maximize her on-field DMG. For that, this team needs another Dendro character to activate the Dendro Resonance and hold Deepwood Memories to shred enemies’ Dendro resistance. Dendro MC is one of the best Dendro users who are able to take on such a task in Genshin Impact.

Finally, Kuki Shinobu is the main focus of this team composition, since she’s the one who’s going to trigger all the Hyperbloom reactions and heal the team. Building her on 4pc of Flower of Paradise Lost will help Kuki deal great DMG with each Hyperbloom reaction as Nahida and Xingqiu keep producing them.

Team Roles

  • Nahida: Main DPS, Dendro enabler, buffer
  • Xingqiu: Sub-DPS, Hydro enabler
  • Dendro MC: Sub-DPS, Dendro enabler, debuffer (4pc Deepwood Memories)
  • Kuki Shinobu: Healer, Hyperbloom trigger

9 Nahida + Ganyu + Kazuha + Dehya

Reverse Melt is one of the best reactions in Genshin Impact, and nobody triggers it better than Ganyu. In order for her to keep triggering Melt, players have to set the field ready for her by applying Pyro on her targets. In this Ganyu team comp in Genshin Impact, Dehya and Nahida will create endless Burning reactions on enemies.

Xiangling was previously the off-field Pyro enabler in such a team comp, but with Dehya’s ability to apply Pyro and protect Ganyu at the same time, players no longer need to have Zhongli or another shielder to be in the team. That creates room for strong Anemo users like Kazuha to help spread the Pyro aura all over the field while greatly boosting Ganyu’s Cryo DMG. However, if players found themselves dying to Burning DMG, then it's fine to swap Kazuha for a healer like Bennett, Jean, or Sayu.

Team Roles

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, buffer
  • Ganyu: Main DPS, reverse Melt trigger
  • Kazuha: Support, buffer, debuffer (4pc Viridescent Venerer)
  • Dehya: Support, Pyro enabler

8 Nahida + Alhaitham + Raiden Shogun + Yelan

This Alhaitham team comp in Genshin Impact is one of his best teams in the game. Alhaitham and Yelan create a strong combo of consistent Hydro and Dendro hits that will continuously produce Dendro Cores, which will turn into Hyperbloom with Raiden Shogun's Skill. Since Alhaitham will be using DPS artifact, Raiden Shogun should use Flower of Paradise Lost, while Yelan should focus on dealing damage, it's up to Nahida to shred the enemy's Dendro RES using Deepwood Memories. Of course, she will also buff the team's Elemental Mastery, further enhancing the overall DPS.

Team Roles

  • Nahida: Support, buffer, debuffer (4pc Deepwood Memories)
  • Alhaitham: Main DPS, Quicken trigger
  • Raiden Shogun: Sub-DPS, Quicken, and Hyperbloom trigger
  • Yelan: Sub-DPS, Hydro enabler

7 Nahida + Nilou + Dendro MC + Sangonomiya Kokomi

Previously, Nilou was stuck with Dendro MC and Collei as her two Dendro enablers. Now, thanks to Nahida’s availability, players can use either Dendro MC or Collei while bringing Nahida as the second Dendro. Nahida’s Seed of Skandha will trigger when enemies take Bloom DMG, so travelers don’t have to worry about triggering other Elemental reactions.

If players don’t have Kokomi, then they can go for the budget healer, Barbara. Meanwhile, Dendro MC can be replaced with Collei.

Team Role

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, Dendro enabler, buffer
  • Nilou: Support, buffer, Hydro enabler
  • Dendro MC: Sub-DPS, Dendro enabler, debuffer (4pc Deepwood Memories)
  • Sangonomiya Kokomi: Healer, Hydro enabler

6 Nahida + Cyno + Beidou + Zhongli

nahida-cyno-beidou-zhongli in genshini mpact

Cyno basically suffers without Elemental reactions. Players must play him in either an Electro-charged or a Quicken team, otherwise, his team comps will be painfully underwhelming. When it comes to the Quicken team, it can be tough to choose the Dendro character he should be paired with, since each of them has their own weaknesses.

RELATED: Genshin Impact: The Best Weapons For Jean

Collei is great at Dendro enabling, but her Burst is small and only lasts for a few seconds. Luckily, her Sprout effect allows Cyno to trigger Quicken even after her Burst and Skill are over. Meanwhile, Dendro MC has a better AoE and duration, but players will lose all the Dendro applications after the MC’s Burst ends. As for Nahida, she doesn’t suffer from a lack of AoE or duration, but she has to take the field each time a new wave of enemies appears. Considering how selfish Cyno is, this makes Nahida a poor choice against smaller enemies.

Team Role

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, buffer
  • Cyno: Main DPS
  • Beidou: Sub-DPS, shielder, debuffer on C6, buffer (4pc Noblesse Oblige)
  • Zhongli: Support, shielder, debuffer, buffer (4pc Tenacity of the Millelith)

5 Nahida + Raiden Shogun + Xiangling + Xingqiu

nahida-raiden shogun-xiangling-xingqiu in genshin impact

Raiden Shogun, Xiangling, and Xingqiu are a part of the Rational team comp. Usually, Bennett takes the fourth spot as the final character, but this time, Nahida will join the team to create an endless chain of reactions.

Which reaction this team triggers depends on the sequence travelers are playing the characters. The combination of Xiangling, Raiden Shogun, and Xingqiu alone is immensely powerful, and Nahida’s high and constant off-field damage will surely bring more value. However, note that this team is now lacking protection with only Xingqiu to rely on.

Team Roles

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, buffer
  • Raiden Shogun: Sub-DPS, buffer, battery
  • Xiangling: Sub-DPS
  • Xingqiu: Sub-DPS, buffer (4pc Noblesse Oblige)

4 Nahida + Childe + Beidou + Kazuha

nahida-childe-beidou-kazuha in genshin impact

Childe and Kazuha are so underrated together while they’re one of the best pairs in Genshin Impact. But when it comes to Childe and Beidou, they’re actually well-known to be great together. Now add Nahida to that mixture of Electro-charged and Swirling and players will get Hyperbloom reactions to perfect that team comp.

Team Roles

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, buffer, debuffer (4pc Deepwood Memories)
  • Childe: Main DPS, Hydro enabler
  • Beidou: Sub-DPS, buffer (4pc Noblesse Oblige)
  • Kazuha: Sub-DPS, buffer, debuffer (4pc Viridescent Venerer)

3 Nahida + Zhongli + Ganyu + Xiangling or Bennett

nahida-zhongli-ganyu-xiangling in genshin impact

The idea behind this team is to create continuous instances of Pyro for Ganyu to easily trigger reverse-Melt DMG. The combination of Nahida’s Skill and Xiangling’s Pyro sets the field to create endless burning reactions on enemies as long as players can continuously trigger Nahida’s Elemental Skill.

RELATED: Genshin Impact: Xiangling Constellation Complete Guide

Here’s how it works: first, Nahida will apply Dendro to the enemy, then Xiangling will cause Burning to occur. Now, Ganyu has to hit the enemies with her Frostflake Arrows to trigger Melt. Due to how reverse-Melt works, Ganyu’s Cryo will not remove Xiangling’s Pyro. Instead, when Elemental reaction occurs on marked enemies, Nahida’s Dendro will trigger and react with the attached Pyro, restarting the Burning effect.

Theoretically, this system can be maintained as long as players didn’t get interrupted while doing Ganyu’s Charged Attack, even without Xiangling reapplying Pyro.

Team Role

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, buffer
  • Zhongli: Support, shielder, debuffer, buffer (4pc Tenacity of the Millelith)
  • Ganyu: Main DPS, reverse Melt trigger
  • Xiangling: Sub-DPS, Pyro enabler, buffer (4pc Noblesse Oblige)

2 Nahida + Sangonomiya Kokomi + Dendro MC + Raiden Shogun

nahida-kokomi-dendro mc-raiden shogun in genshin impact

This Nahida team comp in Genshin Impact focuses on triggering Hyperbloom. Nahida, Kokomi, and Dendro MC will create the Dendro Cores, while Raiden Shogun will be the one triggering them. In this team, players can use Raiden and Kokomi to act as the Main DPS.

Players can change either Kokomi or Dendro MC for Xingqiu, while Raiden Shogun can be replaced by Beidou. However, keep in mind that Beidou isn’t very good at triggering Hyperbloom, so the team will end up as a mixture of Electro-charged and Quicken along with Hyperbloom.

Team Role

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, buffer
  • Sangonomiya Kokomi: Healer, Hydro enabler
  • Dendro MC: Sub-DPS, debuffer (4pc Deepwood Memories)
  • Raiden Shogun: Hyperbloom trigger (Full EM build)

1 Nahida + Sangonomiya Kokomi + Dendro MC + Thoma

nahida-kokomi-dendro mc-thoma in genshin impact

Meanwhile, this Nahida team comp will play around with the Burgeon reaction. Like the Hyperbloom one, Nahida, Kokomi, and Dendro MC will produce the Dendro Cores, meanwhile, Thoma will trigger the Burgeon. Thoma’s poor Pyro application comes perfectly in this team as he can hardly mess up the reactions.

Some things to note are that Thoma will need sufficient Energy Recharge to perform correctly, especially at lower Constellations. Thoma’s Pyro DMG also only triggers when a character uses Normal Attack, so Travelers should use Kokomi after using Thoma’s Burst.

Team Role

  • Nahida: Sub-DPS, buffer
  • Sangonomiya Kokomi: Healer, Hydro enabler
  • Dendro MC: Sub-DPS, debuffer (4pc Deepwood Memories)
  • Thoma: Burgeon trigger (Full EM build)

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
