The newest Genshin Impact leaks have given players a look at what to expect from Nahida when she releases during Version 3.2. With the popular online RPG's Version 3.1 update launching earlier this week, HoYoVerse launched the closed beta testing for Version 3.2 alongside it. The Version 3.2 update is already confirmed to be featuring two new characters with Nahida and the new four-star Layla, as well as multiple new bosses like Scaramouche. Now, a prominent leaker for the game has revealed everything players can expect from the Dendro Archon.
Well-known Genshin Impact leaker Ubatcha1 shared details of Nahida's kit through their Twitter account Wednesday morning. Nahida's Elemental Skill features different effects whether a player taps or holds the button to cast the skill. Tapping the skill sends "karmic bonds of wood and tree," dealing Dendro damage in a small area and marking enemies. Holding the Skill will allow Nahida to aim her attack at specific enemies with the ability to target up to eight enemies. The marks trigger when that enemy is hit by an Elemental Reaction or a Bloom core, dealing bonus Dendro damage.
Nahida's Elemental Burst creates a large area with different effects occurring when players attack with certain elements. Pyro damage increases the damage dealt by the trigger effect of Nahida's Elemental Skill while Electro damage decreases the cooldown of the trigger. Hydro damage extends the duration of her Burst if the player has at least two Hydro party members. The leak also reveals Nahida's passive talents buffing her Elemental Mastery when using her Burst and giving her bonus damage for capping out on Elemental Mastery. Her Skill can also be used on harvestable resources for different effects.
Nahida's Constellations look to increase the power level of both her Elemental Skill and the effectiveness of her Burst. Nahida's first Constellation counts an extra Pyro, Hydro, and Electro party member for the purpose of her Burst. Later constellations provide a variety of buffs to the trigger effect of her Elemental Skill, allowing Dendro reactions to crit enemies as well as increasing her Elemental Mastery with more enemies affected. Her C6 adds massive damage when using her ult, scaling doubly off her attack and four times off her Elemental Mastery.
Nahida is expected to be a powerful Support character for Dendro team compositions with her buffs for other elements. Her Skill triggering off Bloom detonations lends her to being a powerful character in Bloom-based compositions, especially when paired alongside other Bloom-focused characters like the upcoming Nilou. Nahida has also become a fan-favorite character, playing a major role in the story of Genshin Impact's Version 3.0 and 3.1. Fans of Nahida will look to have a strong new option for Dendro parties coming in Genshin Impact's Version 3.2.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
