Navia's setup is pretty simple. You want CRIT values and ATK % to scaleher damage unlike so many other Geo Characters who scale on DEF. The artifactset fits Navia's playstyle, as you want to trigger as much Crystallize aspossible to buff her Skill, thus you will most likely always have some formof Crystallize shield up.

Navia's best weapon is Verdict, which is also her signatureweapon. She triggers the passive easily, as she wants to collectCrystallize shards anyways. Serpent Spinecomes in as her second best option, which is from the Battle Pass. You wouldwant to refine this weapon to R5, however that will take time, since battlepasses last about 6 weeks each. Past that, there is the Event weapon thatreleased at the same time as Navia, Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword,and Redhorn Stonethresher. A noteworthy mention is Beacon of the Reed Sea, which would be just below Serpent's Spine,but since you could only get this the one time Dehya wason a limited Banner not a whole lot of people will have this weapon in thefirst place.

In terms of the need for Energy Recharge, you will wantabout 140% if you run with a Geo Support (110% if you useGeo Traveler). You can reduce these numbers by 10% if you A Lady's Rules for Keeping a Courteous Distance (C1). If you do notuse a Geo Support, you will need closer to around 180%-190% ER.Remember, that using Favonius Weapons on any character will reduce theER requirement by about 10% per weapon used.

For her Artifact set, Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods isgenerally the best, however Marechaussee Hunter comes in closesecond if you use Furina in your team composition. If you have not gotten anygood Artifact pieces of the first set, full Golden Troupe or Archaic Petra 2-piece together with any 18% ATK2-piece set can also work while you farm Artifacts.

A good portion of your damage comes from landing her Elemental Skill, As the Sunlit Sky's Singing Salute. The way it works is that yougain Crystal Shrapnel whenever you pick up a Crystallize Shard or on acertain interval during your Burst. You can have up to 6 Shrapnel at any time,with the first 3 increasing the amount of projectiles you fire by 2 from 5through 11. The skill functions much like a Shotgun, where the projectilesspread a fair bit the further they go. The more projectiles hit your target,the more damage you do. The damage listed is not per projectile, howeverhitting all 11 projectiles on a single target does double damagefrom base. So at Level 10, the skill does 710% damage or 1420% if 11projectiles hit your target. The last 3 Shrapnel will increase the damage by15% per Shrapnel, counting as a Normal DMG bonus.

Your attacks get infused withGeo for 4s after casting your Elemental Skill, which you wantto utilize if you have time in your rotation for it. However, due to Navia'sattack animations with the 3rd and 4th attack, you would want to do 3Normal Attacks and then Dash cancel your animation, to then do another 2Normal attacks.

Use her Burst, As the Sunlit Sky's Singing Salute, whenever itis up, as it deals pretty good damage over its duration. It will also generatea Shrapnel for you whenever it hits. You can only gain 1 Shrapnel for thisevery 2.4s but every little bit helps. It does one larger hit up front andthen bombards the area around you for 12 seconds.

Navia's main team compositions typically revolves around 1Geo Support and then 2 characters of different elementswithin Pyro/Electro/Cryo/Hydro. This is because those are the only elements you cantrigger Crystallize with, which you rely on for Navia'sSkill damage.

There are quite a few characters to choose from when it comes to building ateam with Navia. Most notably you want to have 2 different elements that cantrigger Crystallize, although it is not a must. You then wanta Geo Support to funnel particles to Navia. Do not underestimatethe Geo Traveler as a support unit. WhileZhongli does provide a shield, Geo Traveler provides a solidCRIT Rate buff and a lot of particles. It is also a free unit, lowering theoverall cost of your team comp. There are a few examples below, howeverthere can be many more combinations of characters that you can setup withNavia.

While this team only has Hydro as its second element,Furina does provide a massive damage increase to the partyoverall. The cost for this, is that you need a healer who can provide enoughhealing to utilize Furina's kit. When using Furina, you want to extendyour rotation to 20s, to fit in Furina's skill properly. You want use Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers on Kokomi for thisteam, which means you use Kokomi before swapping into Navia.Use Kokomi's burst and a few Normal Attacks to heal the party (and triggerFurina's Fanfare) before swapping to Navia.

This is a cheaper team, as it uses Geo Traveler, which is afree character, and then uses 2 characters whose constellations you can slowly buythrough Paimon's shop. This makes this team very accessiblegiven enough time. Bennett also provides a large ATK buff withhis burst while Fischl is an excellent Off Field DPS. Try andfight as much within the Burst Area created by the Geo Traveler'sBurst, as it gives 10% increased CRIT Rate while standing within its walls.Using the Geo Traveler can be a bit tricky with their skill placement, but aslong as you try and aim it behind your enemy it should be fine.
