Why Navia Should Be More Important Than The Hydro Archon | Genshin Impact

[@acanthafiore]

Personally as a Noelle main, Furina is not underwhelming. She's going to significantly raise Noelle's dmg potential especially because Noelle is one of the few non Fontaine characters that synergizes with Furina's mechanics and therefore can use the Marechaussee set and acquire /maintain the stacks. Getting Navia as well because she looks cool, I hope she can fit in same team with Noelle.

[@chiyolate]

Yeah, I can't wait trying my future Noelle Furina Xingqiu Albedo/Navia team comp!

[@valt4462]

@@chiyolate Spoiler: Where going to get Geo supp 👀

[@BestJannaInBronze]

yeah but remove furina from your team and its still fine, furina is nothing special, off field hydro dps + buffer, Fontaine's Yelan but aoe. Thats what he means, she is not special

[@chiyolate]

@@BestJannaInBronze Not on my future team tho: Furina Xingqiu Noelle Albedo, Furina will boost all of them's damage by 75% dmg bonus while Xingqiu reduces hydro res and the Geo reso will increase both Noelle and Albedo's damage that already been boosted by Furina.

[@acanthafiore]

@@BestJannaInBronze A Yelan with more aoe and bigger buffs IS SPECIAL. I feel like people are just forgetting the hp drain enables characters like Noelle to make full use of broken sets like the 4pc Marechaussee.

[@rainiplaysgames3545]

Been waiting for her since the Fontaine teaser!! So excited for her. I pulled for Neuvillette, but Navia is my #1 for this region. I just love her character and design mostly.

[@Ushionai]

We haven't had a crazy female character dps since ayaka. Like wtf has been mihoyo doing

[@juggernaut6666]

Thats not fixing geo just because it will have one useful character. Its just going to become navia with zhongli. every other geo character will be a waste of time. The core element and what it reacts with needs changed. Change geos reaction with shatter or something. Make geo that triggers shatter benefit way more from em than it does right now.

[@TeaandSweets-hc2jc]

I pray that Hoyoverse watches this video and does this idea because i refuse to allow my girl to be thrown in the Hyper Carry slot

[@catman14099]

Actually I agree with ya Walrus, that would be a new and fresh playstyle that I personally wouldn't mind trying out. I'm not a fan of leaks and try my dangst to avoid them however it's almost impossible to miss all of em especially when a friend of mine loves to ss the stuff to me. Thanks to them I've already been spoiled on Furina. If what I've heard is true you may be right on the money, considering 1 of the upcoming artifact sets may or may not have something to do with crystallize. Let us have hope.

[@andrinaleong4079]

The new crystallize set is for Navia and I don’t think it works on Itto.

[@weregretohio7728]

Navia sounds interesting, but, once again, they are introducing makeshift solutions to deeper problems.

[@Mr_DE_0395]

Spoiler, they do fix geo crystalize reaction with navia, they fix it but then they tied that into a character, what a joke. The speculation of new reaction for Geo was correct, But nobody thought they tied it to a character, probably the worst decision they've made so far. Navia case is not another case of Nilou 2.0, because the core reaction, bloom is still there on other team even without nilou, but navia, did something else entirely for geo. And this is a problematic design choice I will not stand for.

[@ultimachain8677]

I hope Navia is an on field DPS like the leaks suggest. I am kind of tired of 5 star waifu female characters always ending up as off fielders or supports.

[@Vizible21]

Noelle??? If they make her another on fielder she's going to be another Itto. She belongs in the most useless element in the game that has no synergy with any other element. If she's a main dps she better do damage without relying on supports a la Omelette if not she will be another character that will be forgotten after her banner. Being an off fielder would give her chance to revive Geo as an element and find usage in the meta. If not, she's just another flop.

[@ultimachain8677]

@@Vizible21 I said 5 star waifu female characters. Noelle is a 4 star, dude lol. We are already getting a 5 star geo character in 4.5 (Chiori) so she’s likely the off fielder you’re looking for, Navia is thankfully leaked to be an on field carry. Not everyone likes using itto.

[@marcusbullock2753]

If she can work with other elements that’s already a step up to all other characters besides Zhongli since he’s technically universal as well for protection.

[@hugosant1]

She is carry that has a unique crystalize reactions acording to leaks

[@chiyolate]

Let me tell you my new Geo meta prediction: C6 Noelle + Furina + Navia or maybe Albedo (with the upcoming geo artifact set) + any This is because while Furina drains the entire party HP, C6 Noelle will heal them back up PLUS deal insane damage thanks to Furina's buff and hopefully the upcoming geo artifact set from the other Geo as well.

[@Peepo_Glad0]

ohhhh let me guess, when she does release and her full kit gets leaked, the community especially them theory crafters are gonna go mad again because she wont fulfill the ideal standards... bruv stop coping with these fantasies. I like geo and literally dedicated my account already in building a hypercarry team for it, but the expectation that some people have will come biting them later on.

[@a-non6238]

I really hope Navia does have something to do with crystallize instead of being a 3rd Noelle. It would be cool to finally have a geo character scale off of pure EM or some combo of EM/Atk instead of Def. Really hope she improves the reputation for both geo and claymore wielders, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s niche, not meta, and another Dehya because Hoyo hates claymores. I’m also really interested/concerned in what her weapon does. If it says “crystallize” in its passive it’s doomed, but if not, there’s a chance it will be good on other reaction based claymore users. Really really manifesting that her weapon is somewhat universal and that she runs alongside Albedo with Jade Cutter so my Kaveh and Alhaitham get the chance for some 5* upgrades… If not, well we can take some bets on what will come sooner: Beacon rerun or Natlan’s 1 5* claymore unit for the whole region (and secondary bet on if that 1 new 5* claymore weapon for the entire region will be any good).

[@romeopiston8211]

It seems that Furina will change the place of team healers in the meta as damage buffers, and grant even more damage bonus when you fail to protect your hit points. It can be huge, hydro element or not. Furina has the potential to be the most game changing archon.

[@francissanchez3759]

Navia along can't save Geo the only way to save Geo is to change Crystalize reaction itself but if Navia's kit does revolve around Crystalize that we can expect some big changes to that reaction

[@andrinaleong4079]

They are going to change crystallize reactions but you will need Navia in the team. Without Navia, the new crystallize reactions do not exist.

[@xenoemblem7]

Honestly, Geo is the least interesting element in the game for me. But if Navia turns out good, then it's cool for the geo element to at least rise up the ranks

[@moyobiii]

I hope that she will be an off field dps with buffing passive or something similler to yelan's buff

[@djampoucheukap1742]

Not me

[@JMike-bq6rl]

Still waiting for the Shatter reaction to be able to CRIT, like Quicken reaction does. EM Geo, Cryo and Physical would atleast shift things around.

[@bloody4558]

Chongyun would become Meta if that happened. And I'm all for it

[@henoji777]

Lol the edit of navia's hat onto Itto Really hoping that the devs go with what you predict and Navia is crystallize nilou. Most of the geo teams would still work because Gorou sucks in crystallize shards + c6 dmg buff so he would still be a good support

[@Kasraken]

Since you asked.. I want her to be something that revitalizes crystalize. But from the speculations I have seen so far it is not looking like they designed her that way. They gave her a claymore as a weapon for god's sake! I am hearing that they are trying to improve her viability by using a new Geo artifact set, but will that be enough? Or will they just give up like they did with Dehya and move on to the next thing down the line? --- Anyway, good video!

[@Obsessed-D.Otaku00]

After this Video I'm more excited for Navia to be a hypercarry then a crystilize buffer/support

[@diytrashpunks]

I have been saving all my pulls for Navia since she was teased. She better make geo better. I love my mono geo but I rarely play it compared to my reaction based teams.

[@phatpat63]

You're 100% right about what Navia _has_ to do. She has to be a bridge character that wants crystalize driven by other Geo characters. But I have zero faith that Hoyo is up to the task, or that they even have any understanding of the corner they've painted themselves into with Geo by putting off new characters for 2 years, and that they're entirely dependent on Navia being able to solve all those problems in a single stroke. We should expect her to be trash they put on the standard banner in yet another "Eff you, go play HSR" move.

[@froeloe]

Navia is not going to save Geo. One character’s kit isn’t going to solve the sorry azz f*cked up state of Geo/Crystallize. Crystallize most especially needs an overhaul change. It needs to offer more other than flimsy shields. Fix the reaction itself so many Geo characters can be useful again & synergize in teams. Enough with the mono Geo direction. That was a dead-end decision for Geo. It’s time to synergize Geo with other elements at its core via improved Crystallize. Fix the reaction itself. Hoyoverse needs to stop with using character’s kit as bandaid solutions. Enhance Crystallize itself to sell more Geo characters in the future, instead of just putting all their eggs in one character’s kit. Kits don’t make the element. The element should give birth to kits. Not the other way around. If the foundation mechanic of Crystallize is really good, then old and future Geo characters will be sellable. Fix the root cause. Bandaids are not enough.

[@ananasplamenomet]

I am OK with Navia being hypercarry and/or someone who gives the geo that little push towards the right direction. What is the right direction? Beats me. I will let myself be surprised when more info about Navia comes around.

[@CluebotUK]

There are likely at least two new geo characters coming in Fontaine. The other one's been mentioned in game already, and is more likely to be the geo support than Navia.

[@WalnutWife]

tbh Navia is my most excited Fontaine not Harbinger character. :D I love how cute she is and can't wait to have her BUT I also want her to be a busted Geo character. We haven't had a Geo character in so long and I crave something unique like Nilou. I dont want another hyper carry. that gets benched one the newest shiny thing in town drops. :(

[@dragonkus6934]

Someone's been looking at leaks.. 😂 Welcome to the dark side Walruss 😬❤

[@chiyolate]

He's been looking at leaks for some time now.. and I'm happy that he's doing it!

[@marcusbullock2753]

With the whole Fontaine changing the tropes of how characters are meant to be used. I can see Navia be an attack scaling unit that actually works with other elements for once. And maybe the crystalize helps her damage more instead of defense.

[@cyrusmcdonald426]

If they just changed the reaction to automatically shielding your character and change archaic Petra to working off field then geo is saved its really not that hard. I don't understand why they are against changing and updating things instead of making a new character to put a Band-Aid on the problem

[@ZhongliAcross7NationsOfTeyvat]

I think element as a whole reaction is more important than a unit. I think mhy needs to rework whole geo element in the way they interact with the other elements. With more reaction options, then mhy can works for each specialized reaction. Maybe something like geo+pyro = create molten stones or hot brimstone? Geo+hydro = mud that can trap enemies similar to Zhongli's paralyzed ability

[@termina2737]

I really hope Navia is good. Justice for geo!

[@snoobet]

"furina doesnt change the game that much" gotto heavily disagree with that..

[@marcusbullock2753]

Been awhile since we heard from you hope your doing alright.

[@BrianCarreraShaw]

They need her to be a catalyst for all geo. I don't think we need another Itto, Itto actually "isolated" geo tbh. If they somehow develop crystalize to do something similar to hyperbloom and the value of geo in general will shoot up!

[@thechrischaosX]

Superbloom? It is called bountiful core.

[@MrKappaKappaPsi]

I wonder too if will get a geo 4 star as well in Fontaine. I plan on getting her and a multi element working geo would be great. I wonder if she'll be skill or ultimate based?

[@pencilonpaper1026]

Hopefully geo mains will be eating good with navia

[@wanderinggamer5079]

I think Geo just needs a rework. Crystalize can be a good reaction but tying it to just one character instead of just overhauling Geo’s mechanics in general…eh…I hope Navia is good I guess. I think Geo should be unable to interact with any of the other elements at all to prevent it from interfering with reactions. Crystalize should just be scrapped in favor of Geo Dmg building up a meter on enemies that petrifies them once filled. After enemies are freed the meter can go on cool down but I’m not sure for how long. Zhongli’s pillar can build the most meter and stack even more if it bounces off constructs. While his meteor can ignore the cooldown phase of the meter entirely. That way he can be the king of Petrify since he is the Archon after all. Archaic Petra 4pc would need a rework to many give more Geo Dmg bonus based on the number of Geo teammates. Or non geo teammates, whichever works, it would need to be tested. But yeah the idea would be to make Geo the ultimate flex pick since they can act as drivers while still providing a relevant reaction in the form of Petrify which they can trigger all on their own if they need to but can still benefit from other Geos on the team. Also it is way less coding on Mihoyos part since Petrify already exists in the game. So. Anyone like it or does everyone just want Crystalize to explode? Ngl that seems like Navia’s main theory.

[@bakheetsaeed431]

I think 100% navia like other funtaine hp change machanic and also powercreap itto if she c2 = itto c6 and worck will with hydro archon

[@brianku9805]

I can't giving high hopes for Navia,because Geo as an element already been forgotten a year,if they do something for Crystalize but for Geo there aren't any things we can do,i feel like hoyo run out of ideas,Navia i feel she will be hyper carry,they could make her focus on Crystalize,but what she will be scaling HP or Defense? be real i don't have any idea for her,Geo already tough to deal with,unless like Neuvillette come out mind blowing,so and so like i said before i won't giving high hopes. btw i also afraid of Clorinde because i keep hearing she come out at 4.5 hopefully she will break the curse.

[@joeyisabsb1]

It could be argued Navia is the most important character this patch since she "could" completely revolutionize Geo, an entire element. Furina is just going to be another strong archon, we get those every region.

[@bloody4558]

True but those are not Hydro, Furina is.

[@VampyreNox]

I think the geo mains will be happy with Navia. Myself? I’ll be waiting for Geo, as an element, to make a change before pulling for a new Geo 5*.

[@bloody4558]

I already have every other geo character, It would be a shame not to have her

[@marcusbullock2753]

Highly doubt it at this point. She should. But I doubt she won’t. I expect Hoyoverse to stay consistent on what they want to bring to the game. And what’s worst none of the old characters will work with new geo characters I bet.

[@froeloe]

Navia will not save Geo. One kit of a new Geo character will not fix Geo. Geo needs to be reworked through Crystallize. Alter the effects of Crystallize and Geo will improve and synergize with other elements. The mechanics and effects of Crystallize is what holds Geo back from being a great element. Improve Crystallize so the changes will be universal to all Geo characters, and not just applicable to one character.
