Nefer returned this November in the latest banner for Genshin Impact version 6.1. She’s one of the strongest Dendro DPS applicators in the game, working best within Lunar-Bloom teams. While her banner just recently passed, many players have pulled her, wondering how to best utilize her powers in battle. She’s a bit more complex compared to other DPS characters, so making the best build is the top priority when pulled.

💪Nefer’s Strengths & Weaknesses

Since Nefer is a Catalyst user, she plays a slightly more unique role compared to other Dendro element characters. Nefer relies heavily on the Lunar-Bloom elemental reaction for damage. Lunar-Bloom is a stronger reaction compared to regular Bloom, making her Critical Hit damage and chances much higher. Looking for more Genshin Impact help? Check u7buy for more!
The biggest weakness for Nefer, however, is that she requires another Nod-Krai character on the team to activate her Ascendant Gleam. Ascendant Gleam boosts her overall damage output and can be paired with characters like Lauma for more Lunar-Bloom potential. Nefer also relies on Charged Attacks, making Bloom from characters like Nilou not as strong when paired.

🪄The Best Weapons for Nefer

Every Catalyst user, when it comes to weapon choice, should focus on increasing their Elemental Mastery. This will improve the cooldown rates of each ability, especially when they’re all Element and magic-focused. The same applies to Nefer, who, despite already high Critical and Mastery stats, should follow this logic to make her even stronger as the Main DPS on your teams.

🏺The Best Artifacts for Nefer

Similar to the weapons, Nefer’s best Artifacts have her Critical Hit Chances, Damage, and Lunar reactions increased. Nefer’s top choices can give buffs to both stats at the same time, giving you the most out of her abilities. However, you’ll need a Dendro or Bloom team to activate the Artifacts mentioned. Just make sure that your team matches the Artifact sets’ Dendro capacities, and you’ll be good to go.

🤝The Best Teams for Nefer

As mentioned prior, Nefer primarily deals Lunar-Bloom damage and therefore works best in Lunar, Dendro, and Bloom teams. However, to access her Ascendant Gleam ability for a stronger Damage boost, you’ll need a Nod-Krai character on the team. Choices like Lauma are the best, as she can provide the Lunar reaction Nefer’s abilities thrive on.
