[@bladeddream]

Appreciate the fact that Nahida is the best dendro option in some teams, while not making Traveler obsolete due to less dendro app actually being better for certain comps

[@Zkr7]

Not tho, just tap Nahida NA, its just the same as Traveler E but with less dmg

[@blueberrycrepes]

@@Zkr7 and doesnt generate energy just use traveller in this scenario

[@bladeddream]

@@Zkr7 What I'm referring to in particular is how the strong 1.5 U dendro application on Nahida's E can overpower electro auras, making it difficult to swirl in quicken/salad teams. These are examples where Traveler's (and sometimes Collei's) weaker application makes them easier to play for the purpose of applying dendro. There are workarounds, and Nahida does have better personal damage by a wide margin yeah, but I was just appreciating that she's not a strict upgrade to them in every scenario.

[@webbedshadow2601]

Plus my Dendro Traveler is still C0 lol hope they're even better with all 6 cons

[@xerikl]

@@Zkr7 no, Nahida applies too much dendro which overrides other aura's, specifically in aggravate teams which means you can't swirl electro to get the VV buff and/or Kazuha/Sucrose buffs

[@krisimpactbruh]

Honestly even ignoring how strong she is, I haven't had so much fun playing a new character since Kazuha. The only nitpick I have is she really could have used some form of alternate sprint just for QOL purposes, running around with her is so slow lmao

Yahida... - archon level cuteness, child like curiosity, uses camera to record knowledge, her idle animation relates into her story and fits how the character is portrayed. - some QOL on world exploration at resource gathering. - will slot into dendro teams and is an upgrade - versatile - 5-6 sec Cooldown on her most important kit - buffs EM - Consistent dendro application and a sweet spot of 1.5 unit dendro. - works at C0 - Strong Unit and with very few caveats/niches. - has theoretical unli burst duration and has large AOE. - pseudo AOE on her E.skill - Has many many good f2p or dolphin weapons. (On the fence on calling her as Catalyst archon but she doesnt use atk) - has carried some characters and made them work better. - very approachable kit

It's been a long time a character even with low artifact quality, can still be damn powerful with QoL additions. Anyways, on field hyperbloom nahida team ftw!

[@Ivy-jq6di]

Nahida has definitely become my new favorite character to play since Kazuha and Kokomi. She's been really fun on my Mikokomi hyperbloom team and Childe intergrassional and I love her flexibility between on and off field. Made me realize that I much prefer flexible characters over hypercarries (which Scara is definitely going to be unfortunately) so I'm saving up for Alhaitham to continue riding the dendro bandwagon

[@crocorobin2613]

I pulled Nahida to use her off-field on my Ayato team, and I was surprised that I ended up liking her much better on-field, even as a chibi character, that I often struggle to use well. She still works well enough with Ayato, but Nahida/Yelan/Kuki has also been so fun, I'm very surprised. For the first time since I pulled Kazuha back in 2021, I find myself not feeling the urge of having him on the team, which is something I appreciate... as much as I adore him, it's nice to play with different characters and teams without feeling handicapped.

[@foxiki387]

For everyone’s knowledge, the 3.3 bloom set is an EXTREMELY minor upgrade over gilded outside of nilou bloom where you may want to put it on your hydro triggers because the em bonus on gilded drops in triple hydro.

[@fangservicex2964]

It took me a minute to realize you said "outside of nilou bloom", I was like what is this guy on about lol. Nilou bloom at nahida c2 will absolutely break after bloom set. It's already quite broken in current abyss where f12 chambers barely take 30s.

She's overpowered. My best team atm is Nilou+Nahida+ Mona with no 4th unit, this team cleared some of the abyss stages in less than 20s for me and i dont really have artifacts or any 5* weapons and its better than my main team which i've building for over half a year...

[@flipside9608]

I know this is late, but I want to point out that C1 is actually a lot nicer than you realize. It basically gives Nahida the first tier of upgrades for her Elemental Skill/E without having any of the mentioned elements on your team. The biggest one is that you get the extra duration on Burst with no Hydro, which increases uptime by letting reducing your energy restrictions on Nahida.

[@chanderule605]

Nahida does not really have energy restrictions

[@KagamineNachy]

Question! How are you personally feeling about playing with Cyno now that Nahida’s out there? Obviously it’s not her best team, but I feel like it took a weight off the character. Been having fun!

[@fidelmendez8404]

Can you imagine how newer/casual/mobile players (which are The Mayority of Genshin) feel when they hear a content creator telling them (due to no endgame) "you are not gonna need your characters to be strong"?! I Always cringe a bit hearing this kind of comments. I (as a AR60 Mobile Player) totally understand what Zajef means. Remember though, that More damage is NOT a "problem" for MOST genshin players regardless what "Community Cloud" is telling you... Other than this I love your content (YT and Twitch) and I have learned a LOT with your Extremely detailed Chars show cases... until it become To complicated for me to understand. ;-) Thanks Zajef!

[@yuvx8516]

If fav are comfy then proto amber isn't that bad pick then. While it doesn't give you party wide energy it does give nahida personal energy. Also her healing is highly appreciated in my aggravate keqing team which is really cool.

[@banished1006]

Why does he not even mention double dendro double hydro for nilou teams? He mentions that nahida doesn’t work as off field solo dendro and immediately goes for on field nahida, but why not try off field double dendro? That’s the version I’ve been playing and it honestly feels so much better than on field nahida since you can run on field kokomi, and since kokomi is tanky and can heal a lot with her burst, you no longer have to worry about dying to blooms No hate to zajef or anything, just felt it was weird that he didn’t mention it

[@kikiomira5642]

Based on his thoughts in previous vidoes i would say he doesn't like nilou. What can you do? Personally i watch other theorycrafters or youtubers for nilou comps specifically because of his unwillingness to explore more nilou comps.

When it comes to fun-factor I was thinking the E sweep might get a bit tedious every rotation, but it feels satisfying, I guess it helps that it's so strong. I'm also a fan of weaving some Ganyu/Sara CA into quickswaps, though, only minor gripe is I'd like higher sensitivity on Nahida's skill specifically, but meh.

I wonder what move will hoyo make given that we have future dendro characters that they will release like Alhaitham, Baizhu etc. Nahida is just really good

[@FranciscoJG]

If Baizhu ends up being a healer (like most people expect), that's a good niche - specially for Nilou teams. Alhaitham might have more focus on on-field damage. I'm also hoping for a future unit - could be him or not - to enable mono Dendro (more or less the way Xiao and Itto do for otherwise support elements).

Using her burst in Nilou bloom can still buff your hydro unit blooms when they are on field to cast/refresh their skill. Especially at that time, your hydro unit will always trigger bloom because first cast has no ICD.

[@latioshunter]

Certainly can't go wrong building or getting her, but is she a must pull...? If you can, get her, if not, it doesn't make Dendro inaccessible since we already have solid non-dendro teams.

[@YungXin]

no char is a must pull

[@luminous3558]

I'd say she is the closest thing to a must pull in this easy game. I'd quantify "must pull" as "I want power rn because i can't clear abyss yet" and she will clear 1 side of the abyss with pretty much a bunch of goons on her team that only need EM for hyperbloom.

[@GrumpyMiddleAgedGamer]

Can you elaborate on why you use Fav (why does it feel good)

[@Zajef77]

Fav weapons' energy generation passive gives energy to your whole team, which makes their value both pretty hard to assess accurately (since some teams care about that energy more than others), and really fucking high (because it's a lot of energy). Using fav weapons lets you build more offensive substats on your other characters, which in turn drives up your team DPS by a potentially pretty big margin. That being said, even if you don't do that and you keep your ER stat the same, it means you don't get punished as much for fucking up your rotations since you're generating more energy than you need. TL;DR: -It literally is mathematically good -It also feels good because er go brr

[@GrumpyMiddleAgedGamer]

[@cronus3920]

Why is it better to stack more EM on Nahida with Nilou team when she is on field just applying dendro? Isn't it better for sands>EM goblet>dendro circlet>crt to also buff her Normal atk? She isn't the one triggering the bloom and she's not giving the bonus em to the one triggering the Bloom

[@13r2N]

Its quite scary how accurate this man is most of the time so I will watch the Nilou post-release to make him seem more human in my eyes. Edit: YEP, he was wrong about some things but still so accurate on many others. It's still unbelieveable but now I know he isn't actually just an undercover Genshin dev. XD

[@mantisprayer]

Nahida on field hyperbloom with XQ and Kuki just destroys everything and is fun and easy to play. Plus I can still use DMC for resonance and extra EM from burst, and just generally as an excuse to use them, I like using the Traveler.

[@thebooknerd5223]

18:17 kind of a Zy0nix moment tbh

[@DiES3L24]

An honest content creator. Very pog sir

[@reizero246]

I'm playing Nahida, Kazuha, Fischl, Kuki aggravate team, with this rotation, Nahida E + Q, Fischl E, Kuki E + Q, Kazuha E+Q+E (C2), Fischl Q, and E+normal attacks from Nahida until I get Kuki burst again (3-4 seconds), and the most time even with Nahida on field I´m proc Fischl A4 and making Kazuha swirls. Kazuha burst, + Kuki elemental skill + Oz, is enough to hold dendro under control. Kuki applies so much electro and fast with her burst, you can swirl your Kazuha elemental skill just after, and imbue his burst. This team is pretty strong on AOE (building Nahida with gilded and Kuki with dendron set, both with offensive stats, like EM/elemental damagecrit) and pretty strong at single target with Fischl, at the same time you have healing and you are not losing aggravates with Kazuha (well you can if you fuck the rotation, but the 4 characters have similar CD). To me Yae is worse option than Kuki, because you are losing Kazuha and healing, and losing plenty of time Yae require with her elemental skill Probably you tested already this anyway.

[@Anonymous-sd6hq]

I was doing the new abyss and because of the blightdrake I switched dmc out for tighnari because I play double dendro double hydro in my nilou team and I noticed that the survivability of the team for some reason skyrocketed. Where I cleared both first chambers with full hp. My working theory is because of the disorientation e tighnari has along with the lower cost burst not only makes the team take less damage from enemies but you can also I frame a lot more with your bursts .

[@tdust6406]

Question: how does she fare' in quickbloom team? Currently Quickbloom seems to be Cyno's best team, since he can both use his crit stats for agrravate and his EM for hyperbloom. (from what I've seen) In this case the team should be: Off field Dendro + Cyno + Off field Hydro + Electro for battery Nahida + Xing + Cyno + Beidou/Kuki/Lisa (i'm on Baizhou-release level of copium on the last one) Moreover if this observation wasn't enough blasphenty that is: My team named "random bs go" with DendroMC + Cyno + Thoma + Xing seems to work good as well, what if we just swap Nahida instead of DMC?

[@tsynthetic]

Pulled her in hopes of fixing nilou bloom. Glad to say I was not disappointed

[@dnoyrnoptere3499]

For her E gameplay and the possibilités she gavés us for comps it's totally yes. But it costs me a lot because I really dont like little characters and their slowness and high pitch voice. The fact her Skill react to a elem reaction is really cool but sometimes it's annoying when playing her off field if you cant make a reaction for a few sec (not in meta team I know but in overworld you cant do whatever you want xP)

[@brliron6538]

My experience with Nilou teams have been quite different. I've been playing with Nahida Nilou Yelan Kokomi (oops all limited 5 stars, even less accessible than the usual Nilou teams). I didn't bother switching my Kokomi artifacts, so my Nahida have less health issues. I also spend a bit of time with Yelan on field, running around in her skill, applying Hydro to everyone with Nilou's ring and then with Yelan's skill. When every enemy has a dendro aura, I go on-field Kokomi and use my burst if possible, which creates more blooms and heals my team - and even though Kokomi is on her usual HP/Hydro/heal build, Nilou's passive is still making the bloom damage decent. I switch back to Nahida and E when I start having too many enemies with an hydro aura. In my opinion, this playstyle is fun (especially when you run around with Yelan), not really hard as long as you can decide quickly what your next move will be, and good enough to get a fast clear on the previous abyss rotation. But I definitely need to test it more on a rotation that wasn't designed just for Nilou (I think the new one will work? I didn't try it yet), and to compare my clear times with more on-field Nahida and EM Kokomi. Because "good enough in the previous abyss rotation" isn't the best metric for a Nilou team.

[@Ecaea]

i actually had no issue with triple hydro nahida nilou bloom team. Instead of using Yelan and kokomi i used xingqiu and barbruh , barbuh cuz i dont have kokofish and xingqiu for the dmg reduction. I was able to clear abyss 12 36 star pretty easily with how much dmg the bloom does , while taking reduced dmg and healing from barbruh. Honestly it cleared so fast that it has taken over my taser team when it comes to mobbing side of the abyss. Not to mention , i completely ignored ER requirements on my barbruh nahida and nilou. The only person with "enough ER" is xingqiu , the rest is running whatever i dumped on them. And even without using burst on every rotation , they have the capability to clear stages within 20sec. Also might be due to abyss buff , have to wait and see after the bloom patch is over.
