Nahida, the Dendro Archon, continues to be one of the most versatile and powerful characters in Genshin Impact well into 2025. Her ability to enable multiple reaction-based team compositions has cemented her as a cornerstone of the meta. If you're looking to maximize her potential, this comprehensive guide breaks down the best Nahida team compositions currently dominating the game.

Why Nahida Remains Meta-Defining in 2025

Nahida's kit revolves around consistent Dendro application through her Elemental Skill, which can mark up to 8 enemies simultaneously with her Seed of Skandha. This allows her to trigger Dendro reactions even when she's off-field, making her incredibly flexible for various team compositions. Her Elemental Burst adapts to your team's elemental makeup, providing different buffs based on which elements are present.

With the introduction of Lunar Reactions in recent updates, Nahida's value has only increased, as she enables new powerful team compositions that weren't possible before.

Nahida's Best Team Compositions

1. Lunar-Bloom Team (Bountiful Cores)

This is currently Nahida's most meta-defining team in 2025, especially after the release of Lauma who revolutionized Bloom teams:

• Nahida (Dendro application, EM buffer)

• Nilou (Bloom enabler, Hydro application)

• Lauma (Lunar-Bloom converter, healer)

• Kokomi (Hydro application, healer)

This team transforms regular Bloom reactions into powerful Bountiful Blooms through Nilou's passive, which Lauma then converts to Lunar-Blooms for massive AoE damage. What makes this team exceptional is its high damage floor and the ability for Blooms to CRIT when triggered by Lauma.

Rotation:

1. Start with Nahida's Burst, then apply her Skill to all enemies

2. Use Nilou's Skill 3 times to enable Bountiful Blooms

3. Activate Lauma's Burst, followed by her Hold Skill

4. Deploy Kokomi's Skill for consistent Hydro application

5. Swap to Nahida for on-field Dendro application through Normal Attacks

6. Use Lauma's Hold Skill whenever you have sufficient Verdant Dew stacks

2. Quickbloom Team (Quicken + Hyperbloom)

This hybrid reaction team allows you to benefit from both Quicken-based reactions and Hyperblooms:

• Nahida (Dendro application, EM buffer)

• Alhaitham/Sethos (On-field Dendro DPS, Spread trigger)

• Yelan (Off-field Hydro application)

• Kuki Shinobu (Electro application, Hyperbloom trigger, healer)

This team creates a perfect balance where your on-field Dendro DPS benefits from Spread reactions while also producing Hyperblooms as additional damage. The combination provides excellent single-target and AoE damage.

Rotation:

1. Start with Nahida's Burst and Skill

2. Deploy Yelan's Burst

3. Activate Shinobu's Skill and Burst

4. Switch to your main DPS (Alhaitham/Sethos) and stay on-field

3. Hyperbloom Team

For pure Hyperbloom focus:

• Nahida (Dendro application, EM buffer)

• Xingqiu/Yelan (Hydro application)

• Raiden Shogun (Electro application, Hyperbloom trigger)

• Kokomi/Barbara (Hydro application, healer)

This team focuses exclusively on triggering as many Hyperbloom reactions as possible. Nahida and your Hydro characters create Dendro cores, while Raiden's consistent Electro application triggers Hyperbloom. With the right builds, this team can deal massive AoE damage.

Key Point: Build Raiden with full Elemental Mastery for this team rather than her traditional DPS build, as she's primarily triggering reactions rather than dealing direct damage.

4. Spread/Aggravate Team

• Nahida (Dendro application, buffer)

• Cyno/Clorinde/Keqing (On-field Electro DPS)

• Fischl (Off-field Electro application)

• Zhongli/Jean (Shielder/Healer)

This team utilizes the Quicken reaction to enable both Spread (Dendro) and Aggravate (Electro) reactions. Your Electro main DPS will deal significantly increased damage through Aggravate, while Nahida contributes with Spread damage.

5. Burgeon Team

• Nahida (Dendro application, EM buffer)

• Kokomi/Xingqiu (Hydro application)

• Thoma/Dehya (Burgeon trigger)

• Kazuha/Sucrose (Grouper, Elemental DMG buffer)

Burgeon teams require precise timing but can deal impressive AoE damage. Nahida and your Hydro character create Dendro cores, which your Pyro character then detonates with controlled Pyro application. Thoma is particularly effective here as his moderate Pyro application is perfect for Burgeon without consuming too many seeds.

Best Builds for Nahida

Weapons

1. A Thousand Floating Dreams (5★) - Her signature weapon, providing EM and elemental DMG bonuses

2. Sacrificial Fragments (4★) - Great F2P option with EM substat and skill reset

3. The Widsith (4★) - Strong CRIT DMG stat with rotating buffs

Artifacts

Main Sets:

• Deepwood Memories (4pc) - Best when no one else on the team has this set

• Gilded Dreams (4pc) - Optimal when another character has Deepwood Memories

Main Stats:

• Sands: Elemental Mastery

• Goblet: Elemental Mastery or Dendro DMG% (if using EM weapon)

• Circlet: Elemental Mastery or CRIT Rate/DMG (if using EM weapon)

Energy Requirements: Aim for 130-160% Energy Recharge depending on team composition and whether Nahida is on-field or off-field.

How to Choose the Right Team

When building a Nahida team, consider these factors:

1. Do you want Nahida on-field or off-field? She works well in both roles but requires different team setups.

2. Which reaction do you want to focus on? Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, or Quicken-based reactions all have different optimal teammates.

3. What content are you tackling? Some teams excel in AoE scenarios (like Bloom/Burgeon), while others are better for single-target damage (like Spread).

Final Thoughts

Nahida remains one of the most flexible and powerful characters in Genshin Impact in 2025. Her ability to enable multiple reaction-based teams makes her an invaluable addition to almost any account. The recent introduction of Lunar Reactions has only strengthened her position in the meta.

Whether you're a new player who just pulled her or a veteran looking to optimize your teams, investing in Nahida will significantly enhance your gameplay experience. With proper team building and investment, she can help you conquer even the most challenging content in the game.
