It has been a really long time since a new Geo character was added in Genshin Impact. With numerous leaks suggesting Navia will be released in version 4.3, that may soon change. Credible leaks have suggested that she may be a Geo main DPS who can use the long-neglected Crystallize elemental reaction. It is expected that a new Geo-focused artifact set will also be introduced to the game alongside her.

It was Uncle SH who previously discussed two new artifact sets being added to Genshin Impact in version 4.3. Now, they have further revealed the two-piece and four-piece effects of the Geo artifact set alongside Navia's kit description. It appears that the new set is tailor-made for her abilities.

Note: Some of the information provided in this article is based on leaks and is subject to change.


Genshin Impact 4.3 artifact set to favor Navia and Geo element, suggests leak

The latest leak from Uncle SH, who is a reliable leaker in the community, has revealed information about the upcoming character Navia, expected to arrive in Genshin Impact's 4.3 update. It covers her potential kit and a new dedicated artifact set.

It appears Navia will be a main DPS Claymore user from the Geo element. She is expected to scale off her attack and make use of the Crystallize elemental reaction to inflict damage. The upcoming Geo artifact set is also expected to cater to these stats, which may make it Navia's best-in-slot (BiS) option.

Let's first take a look at Navia's leaked skills and abilities in Genshin Impact:

  • Elemental Skill (E): Navia will absorb all the Crystallize shards nearby and deal Geo damage.
  • Elemental Burst (Q): She will set up a turret that may appear similar to a cannon. It will provide her with a damage buff during its 12-second duration. The ability will have a 15-second countdown and will require 60 Energy.
  • Passive Talent: It will increase Navia's Attack based on the number of teammates that belong to a different element.

It seems Navia will be heavily focused on maximizing her damage via increased Attack stats and Crystallize shard absorption. This information has also been highlighted by Uncle Chicken and Uncle Ahq's leaks about Navia.

Now that we have a general idea about her abilities, let's take a look at the two-piece and four-piece effects of the new Geo artifact set coming to Genshin Impact in version 4.3:

  • 2-piece effect: It will increase the user's Attack by +18%
  • 4-piece effect: When the user absorbs a Crystallization shard, they will gain additional Attack and Geo DMG Bonus. The effect will be doubled when at maximum stacks.

While Uncle SH hasn't revealed the stacks for the full set bonus, the effects surely seem to cater to Navia's needs. This new artifact set may also prove to be a good option for another attack-scaling Geo character, Ningguang.

However, considering all the information is from the early stages and the 4.3 beta is yet to start, everything mentioned is subject to change.
