5 reasons to go for Navia in Genshin Impact 4.3

1) First Geo character in a long time

While Genshin Impact boasts a huge roster of playable units, there aren't many characters who are able to wield the Geo element. The last time a new 5-star from this element was introduced was way back in version 2.3, namely Arataki Itto.

Therefore, fans of the Geo element will be delighted about the addition of Navia to the game. Now, they can enjoy a new unit with fresh abilities from their favorite element.


2) Strong Main DPS

Navia is expected to be a strong damage dealer that players can use at the forefront of their teams. While it's possible she may not be as powerful as some top-tier units, she will be a competitive option in Genshin Impact.

Furthermore, Navia may also get an indirect buff when she gets a dedicated support, who is rumored to be Chiori.


3) Can summon Cannons using Elemental Burst

Navia's gameplay is exceptionally well-designed. From the sunglasses to the umbrella gun, the visuals are quite satisfying. However, one thing that stands apart is the animation of her Elemental Burst where she summons cannons to the field to blow up her enemies.

It is expected that Navia's cannons will deal Geo DMG for a certain period of time within a fixed AoE.


4) Able to use Crystallize reaction

Genshin Impact's gameplay focuses on efficiently using the various elements to trigger elemental reactions. While some reactions are stronger, some may not be as useful, and one in particular was largely overlooked, which is Crystallize. However, that will soon change in version 4.3.

Navia's kit is designed in such a way that she will be able to use the Crystallization shards, which are created when Geo comes into contact with either Hydro, Pyro, Electro, or Cryo, and gain charges for her Elemental Skill. The amount of charges is expected to influence the amount of damage dealt.


5) Capable of using Geo resonance

Geo resonance is one of the best elemental resonances that players can make use of when building a team. It offers increased shield strength and extra damage while also being capable of decreasing the Geo RES of enemies.

Given Navia will greatly benefit from the effects, she can be the perfect candidate for Geo resonance. Players can pair her with Zhongli or Albedo to make use of it.
