The highly anticipated release of Navia in Genshin Impact has been the subject of much speculation among fans. Navia is set to debut in the upcoming 4.3 version update of the game, and players are eager to learn more about her abilities, role, and playstyle. Recent leaks have shed some light on Navia's kit, offering a sneak peek at what players can expect from this Geo Claymore user. Let's take a look.
Navia's Dual Role: Sub-DPS or Main DPS?
Navia's potential role in a player's team composition is one of the most significant points of interest in these leaks. According to information shared by two reputable leakers, Uncle Chicken and Uncle ahq, Navia's role can vary depending on her Constellations.
Uncle Chicken suggests that Navia starts as a sub-DPS character at low Constellation levels but can transition into a main DPS as her Constellations improve. To unleash her full potential, players may need to pair her with a Geo support character to provide her with Crystallize shards, which she can use to enhance her abilities.
Uncle ahq, on the other hand, claims that Navia is a main DPS character even at lower Constellation levels. She excels in dealing damage and can synergize effectively with characters like Bennett. Her best team compositions are said to be double Geo with Bennett or double Hydro characters, particularly the upcoming Hydro Archon Furina.
Navia's Abilities
Navia's Elemental Skill (E) allows her to enter a special stance where her umbrella transforms into a gun, allowing her to shoot enemies and absorb nearby Crystallize shards. The type of shard consumed influences the buffs she receives, emphasizing the importance of team composition and element diversity.
Her Elemental Burst (Q) involves deploying a cannon that deals continuous damage to enemies, similar to the abilities of Ganyu and Ayato. Notably, using this ability triggers a Crystallize reaction, and absorbing the shards extends the cannon's duration.
The Future of Geo in Genshin Impact
These leaks also suggest that Navia's arrival could breathe new life into the Geo element within the game. Geo has been considered less powerful than other elements, and Navia's kit addresses this issue by providing Geo characters with unique abilities and playstyles. This shift could make Geo more appealing and viable for players looking to diversify their team compositions.
As players eagerly await the release of Navia in Genshin Impact's 4.3 update, these leaks have provided an exciting glimpse into her potential as a character. Her unique abilities, versatile role in a team, and the potential resurgence of Geo as a competitive element make her an intriguing addition to the game. It's important to remember that these details are based on leaks and are subject to change, so players should stay tuned for official announcements and the 4.3 beta for more accurate information.
