I KEEP FORGETING TO BURST | Navia 1st Impressions

[@Zajef77]

first attempt at posting this video Edit because i'm seeing a lot of comments asking : I change furina's arkhe alignment before and after burst because i don't want to lose bennett uptime healing her, and this lets me get some healing on her during the burst animation. Honestly not 100% sure it's worth it yet but that's the reasoning behind it

Big thanks to Zajef and the editing team for this. Also, big ups to showing the character stats and showing the showcases in an organized way. Showing off constellations is also helpful especially when they're C0 cuz it helps show a more realistic performance for teams. Even if players like their C2 Furina, C2 Kazuha, etc, not everyone can enjoy that luxury, and seeing a team perform well without said luxury will do more good for players imo.

[@Bluepenguin28]

idk why people even watch people that doing showcases with high constellations, if you have meta characters with meta constellations you can roll your face on the keyboard and finish abyss easily. i just don't understand how those people get viewers in the first place.

[@Zajef77]

I'm glad you thought it was clear! I'd received a few comments on some of the previous first impressions video saying it was difficult to keep track of account changing/weapon changing and such, so I told Sam to try to make it as clear as possible. Very happy to see people noticed!

[@behindthesmile1276]

Based on how Navia works, it would seem that they are reinventing how future Geo units will work. So instead of purely focusing on Def scaling or any scalings for that matter, they are gonna make kits based on making Crystalize and its effects if you collect/create them. I guess we'll see more Geo units like this in the future. Hopefully.

[@noahd531]

But Navia doesn’t use Crystals at all tbh. She just consumes but there’s no synergy with other characters to scale

[@behindthesmile1276]

@@noahd531 using and consuming Crystalize are literally the same thing in this context. What are you on about? And since she's the first Geo character that focuses on getting those crystals, of course there is no other characters to scale. She's literally the first one

[@gingervald8601]

Running Navia is the first time I've ever cared about triggering crystalize more than once per 10s. The first time I've ever thought generating more crystal shards in a rotation.

[@Mr.MasterOfTheMonsters]

Until they release a Geo character that scales off EM, crystilize will stay dead.

[@lancevance6346]

There's hardly any re-inventing of Geo units. Yunjin was already like that and focused outside of traditional mono Geo, and her passives and skills pushed her to be a rainbow team support. Def scaling was not the issue for her. Navia is just employing another dead mechanic crystallize to do something.

[@ardaoguzhan8181]

Is it me or her voicelines so annoying lmao. Shes so squeaky for some reason, she doesn't sound like that at all in the AQ.

[@eirzaa0429]

[@baconmandanthe3rd944]

navia, eula and childe all have a hidden passive where their crit rate is reduced by -50% true jokes aside i really like what they did with navia. she allows you to be flexible with how much time you spend with her on field and shes so fun i struggle to go back to other characters now ICANT

[@sacrashin]

Personally, I'm quite happy with how Navia turned out, even though I wasn't really hyped for her and didn't even plan on pulling for her. Also, the fact that with her, crystalize finally isn't completely useless anymore is great. I never liked that Geo was such an outcast element that very much incentivises you to play as mono Geo (especially because crystalize is so useless without Navia, that you didn't lose anything by ignoring it), it just never felt good to me, in the same way that I'm not a fan of mono pyro, hydro or anemo for example. Dunno why exactly, but mono teams just feel boring to me. Navia on the other hand is quite flexible and is honestly very fun to play. For me at least, she kind of saves Geo, in the sense that I'm actually feeling like I'm playing a Geo character. The only other Geo character that I still use is Zhongli, and since he's pretty much a shield bot, he doesn't even particularly feel like a Geo character, he could have no element at all and it wouldn't really make a difference and the same is also kind of true for Yunjin. Even Albedo, while feeling like an actual Geo character and being rather flexible, lost his place in the meta, after being pushed out of Hu Tao and Xiao teams by double hydro and Faruzan respectively. Meanwhile, Noelle and Itto had, at least until Furina's release, pretty much the same teams, builds and still have basically the same gameplay. Ningguang funnily enough was one of my most used dps characters during 1.0-1.2, but sadly fell off in terms of damage. Navia feels a lot like Ning, but with good damage, which is probably partly why I like her.

[@BruhMarbel]

The first upload was truly a work of art, a masterpiece, shows your thoughts perfectly

[@jmr4018]

1st impressions left him speechless

[@JustSomeGuy009]

The fact she doesn't follow the old "Geo" mechanics is one of the best things about her. It makes her very flexible. Her kit also makes her flexible as a hotswap or carry playstyle. If you can't see how good she actually is then you have a bias clouding your vision.

[@tristanmanalo6252]

For me she really works well when paired with off-field subdps than being a hypercarry, it suits her quickswap dps playstyle

[@RA-ux3fu]

i have her. her kits fine but unfortunately shes geo so i dont see myself using her for a long time or often

[@muhammadsyafiq8882]

She really left you speechless

[@WarTurtle007]

Actually Navia is the most Geo character ever because she finally gives elemental shards a purpose by converting it to direct dmg and the frontload dmg she gets from them is formidable. This is a good template for future Geo characters to utilize the shards in their own ways specific to their role for big buff, healing or dps

[@matias3542]

Gunbrella warfare i guess?

[@tristanmanalo6252]

My first impression is that Navia has big stats. My attack just went 2.4k and defense to 1.1k at level 90 while also on 80:150 crit stats and 120er. This is the highest stats I got on a character on first attempt of just randomly putting artifacts 😅😅😅

[@riffieboi3437]

Legend says that the og video was muted due to the sheer amount of "ATTAAAAACK"s

[@candycorn-]

a cool idea to make her more interesting is having the crystalize shards change her e when she picks them up, kinda like wanderers a4. like a pyro crystalize would increase the e damage by 5% or a cryo one would increase its crit rate, or even decrease the cooldown or something.

[@YueNagareboshi]

Saw the whole video, and while I am not pulling for Navia ATM, it was pretty informative as always. I wonder your impressions of Navia as a SubDPS with Golden Troupe aside Noelle as on-field DPS. I saw this playstyle from a @Kategari video and seems like a nice option for her. Navia looks pretty fun tho! Thanks for the video!

[@Scythra]

She's the most fun I had since I got Al Haitham. I think she is indeed cosmetic geo, but one that does make Geo synergistic with other elements. Which is fun!

[@mrfuzzyibrows]

from the jump, play style super fun to play. not breaking any dps records anytime soon but shotgun n cannons? what more can u ask for. dehya shouldve had this much thought go into her kit. homegirl got did dirty

[@miyukii2507]

Navia is what Dehya should've been. Would've love just having like two big punches from her E with good scaling.

[@joshualoup2518]

You just made me understand better why I've seen people saying that Navia is like a Heizou 2.0, it was weird for me to see it until now that I have her, you use ult and NAs that create stacks thanks to your teammates reacting to your element and use those stacks with your skill to get one big hit and then repeat the process, you can do a succession of skills faster than Heizou but the similarity is pretty obvious lol By the time, the kit would've felt less "original" because Navia has the excuse to use shards from the terrain, while Dehya would have probably gotten the stacks more similarly to Heizou, but it would have been a fun kit anyways, specially if it had some parts from Dehya's actual kit, maybe the stacks could have been something like "When your teammates lose X amount of health, gain 1 stack for skill", but oh well xd

[@gonzalodiez6336]

i hear everything

[@I.M.T.S]

After using her for some five hours, I don't think I like her national comp. Two of my favorite is, Albedo, Navia, Yae, Bennett and Zhongli, Navia, Yae, C6 Sara. On second half, the Sara comp was actually faster. With Furina for now, I am using Furina, Navia, Yae, Baizhu.

[@Scio_]

If there's one Geo construct that shouldn't get broken by bosses it should be Albedo's flat-ass flower

[@Axterix13]

And Ning's wall, which you can walk through.

[@ghost_loyz]

Why not E before Navia burst during the first rotation? Cause when she’s on field after all support used their abilities her E charge is basically up again and this gives her a lot of energy additionally

[@c4denza511]

From my experience, you don't get the 3rd E in the 1st rotation if you do that, you still get the particles but you'd have an unbuffed E with no stacks as opposed to three buffed Es with around 3 stack or more each. It feels a lot comfier with Furina and Bennett as your only healer though, it lets you swap immediately after her last E to heal your other characters.

[@Aureliaven]

Can someone explain why he changes Furina's arkhe alignment before and after bursting?

[@viniciusz642]

As far as I know he just do this in bennet + furina teams bc of the non team-wide healing so he can cheat a bit of heal on furina to keep up the fanfarre stacks without messing up the rotation

[@anyanP]

my assumption is that it’s because with this rotation he’s not getting Bennett’s heal on Furina, so he gets a tick of her own healing to offset her hp drain

[@thewanderingartists]

Itto is fun too !!!

[@markusbrendon]

Funny enough, she is actually ok in a momo geo team, her burst is enough to get a fell stacks of the E and deals a good damage, not her best but good enough

[@----x-----]

Been using her with Noelle Furina and Fischl and they have very good synergy, it meets Geo res and Navia's passive, the whole team benefits fully from Furina's buff enabled by Noelle's healing and Navia always has all the crystalize she needs, Navia provides Noelle with more energy than anyone else and Fischl deals good consistent passive damage and mantains elemental aura on the target to crystalize off and Noelle fully utilizes Fischl's Oz combined attack passive. Noelle covers AOE and Navia handles single target making it a very well rounded party that's very very tanky and hard to kill it pretty much shrugs everything. As a bonus the artifacts for all 4 can be grinded on a single domain. Noelle can wear MH and the rest GT. Wouldn't recommend trying without a max level triple crowned Redhorn Noelle tho.

They great thing about her is that being a geo that doesn't need geos... means she can basically be your DPS carry for... well ANY team? as long as you can conjure shards then it don't matter. Taser? burning? mono build? freeze for both shatter and crystalize simultaneously if thats possible? She has so much front loaded damage that even if the characters aren't the best in your team as long as they can produce elemental shards then you are golden! Kuki with tenacity + bennet with nobeless... you can have plenty of attack! But im not even going to use her with either of these. With Noelle as ( the best driver ) paired with NAvia you can hot swap them together, use raiden + furina for electrocharge that keeps both elements on targets for easy crystalize!

[@stormeagle]

Absolutely well design character. I do hate playing with Bennett. Tired of circle impact

[@biggestouf]

I hope that there is a Geo cleanser. Would be an interesting combo with Bennett

[@MyLivingLegacy]

I've been having a blast with her, her and Neuvi have been the most consistent fun I've had with Genshin in a long while. I've been running a more non meta team, and getting good results, and finished Abyss too. Navia, Kokomi (tales and tenacity), Fischl/Raiden and Yelan. Using her more on field driver with Raiden/Yelan off field damage, Koko for buffs and heals, Yelan burst helps buff her when you swap back to her, Raidens burst for a second burst if needed and energy, altho I'm sure Fischl for Abyss I think would be better. Running 90/170 CV and 125% ER, random 2 piece sets, and no Pyro and Geo Resonance. It's been a lot of fun so far, and great for overworld too. Really hoping Chiori is some form of buffer for her, I'd love to have a geo resonance at least.
