Nahida can be built in a wide variety of ways in Genshin Impact, and picking the right weapon for her can make a huge difference in her playstyle. Fans will want to choose the best weapon for her role in their team, but given that she can fit several different playstyles, picking the best choice can be tough.

Luckily, given that fans can acquire these weapon choices quite easily, trying out several of these options may be the best way to make a final pick.

Here are the builds:


3-star weapons

In terms of 3-star weapons, there really are only two main options for Nahida to wield. The best pick is the Magic Guide, a 3-star Catalyst that players can acquire from the game's gacha, and one that they likely have quite a few copies of.

Thanks to this weapon's Elemental Mastery substat along with its unique passive that increases DMG against foes affected by Hydro or Electro, this can be an incredibly solid option for Nahida, especially a DPS-focused one.

The second choice is the Thrilling Tale of Dragon Slayers, though this is more reserved for an off-field support-focused Nahida who looks to buff a stronger character like Keqing or Cyno. Fans will need to switch up their rotations to account for this weapon's downtime if they choose to build it.


4-star options

Nahida has quite a few options to pick from when it comes to 4-star weapons, and her best choices are split between supportive builds and damage-focused ones.

For a focus on her damage, the best weapons are ones like the Widsith or the Mappa Mare, as they will increase her Elemental damage significantly while providing her with buffs to her Elemental Mastery that can make her an incredible source of DPS.

In terms of a supportive build, choices like the Sacrificial Fragments, Wandering Evenstar, or even the Favonius Codex all make for great picks. The Favonius Codex is likely one of the best ones out of these, especially with high refinement, as it can provide Nahida's team with a ton of Energy.

The Sacrificial Fragments will allow her to generate more pure Dendro energy however, while the Wandering Evenstar will grant her the ability to buff her team's ATK through its unique passive.
