She didn't saved geo but atleast she saved herself
But seriously her kit shows how much geo can be improved , let's hope chiori can do that
I hope Chiroi or near future geo support will fortify geo construct so they wont shatter at all
She made it so geo thrives in mixed team comp, she made geo fun, she actually made the geo reaction relevant. I personally think she saved Geo. You don't have to ride the "geo is dead" train forever.
If future geo characters follow her reaction usage, geo will have a very bright future.
Edit: I'm not even responding to the replies. I said what I needed to say. Enjoy your ranting 😎☂️🌂💥
@@RealLordVoldemortso basically if i wanted to make Geo a great element, i have to pull for a 5* character? locking the worth of Geo/Crystallize behind character kits is not saving an element. it just shows that navia is great because of her kit, not because of her element. character kits are bandaid solutions. if one has to get a specific character to make good use of geo’s one and only reaction, then geo isn’t saved. As it stands, Geo objectively remains to be the worst element in the game.
@@RealLordVoldemortthat's not mainly bcs of Geo specifically, it's bcs of her. Navia has good game design, Geo has bad game design
@@RealLordVoldemort Navia is good because her kit is good, not because her element is Geo, if that makes sense. She's self-sufficient. She couldve been a Pyro character with the same exact kit but having Pyro as a trigger and she would still be very good (In fact, she would even be better in this theoretical example, as Pyro generally have better reactions).
If Geo being a bad element was an open wound, then Navia as a character is simply a band-aid.
Although Navia is very strong, I was hoping she’d actually improve the Crystallize reaction, rather than just benefitting from it. It feels as though, like Zhongli, she’s an incredible Geo character not because of but in spite of her element.
Yep. Navia is great because of her kit/multipliers, not because of her element.
Crystallize as a base reaction is just badly designed. Its fundamental mechanic as a reaction needs rework.
exactly!
@@skyhart9926the problem is that Crystallize was supposed to act as a form of protection based off of the elemental mastery of the Geo character enabling it. If they could at least make it so that the element interacting with geo is the one The crystallize shard scales off, then it could be better as then You could have a caveat for slotting Geo in A hyperbloom or Spread team. This wont solve all of Geo's problems but it's a hella lot better than relying on Archaic Petra to use Crystallize to interact with the team.
then what you want is a Geo reaction rework, not Navia to be better
@@jawn5661giving crystallize any form of damage wouldn't hurt either. Like being able to react with the shards when they're on the ground (possibly useful with overload, swirl, or electrocharged). Or letting them resonate with geo constructs
"If they ever release a geo Faruzan" - Gorou mains in shambles
he probably meant ones that don't scale off of defense. and one that isn't tied to mono geo.
@@usmanya5110 Yeah, Gorou giving defense definitely isn't the greatest for Navia. But he still gives his crit with c6, creates and sucks in elemental shards which is kinda what Navia is about and the def at least makes the shields and the team a little bulkier. Also helps if used with the new artifact set which Ningguang can also use. And gives resonance.
He probably isn't the best option for Navia and even less for Ningguang but i think he's actually a decent choice (at c6).
When a nation of water has more Geo characters than desert region ☠️
Same thoughts
of course, all the earth and sand was used on the desert, so they were out of earth to give to the characters
Get a vision Jeht, get a vision Jeht, get a vision Jeht, get a vision Jeht, get a vision Jeht, get a vision Jeht, get a vision Jeht, get a vision Jeht
All nations literally have more geo characters than the desert. It makes no sense for the desert to have 0 geo characters 💀
I think Navia is less of a savior and more of a step in the right direction. She’s the first and only geo character who does anything of importance with crystallize, and her crystallize gameplay promotes element diverse teams to aid in creating shards which most other geo characters have not done since most if not all of them only matter as geo units in Mono Geo up until now.
Also, I don’t think anyone put soo much pressure on a single character to save an entire element in the game when nothing in the game so far has supported such an idea. Hopefully Chiori can follow in the step that Navia made and provide a better future for geo stuff. I’m a geo fan and it kinda hurts seeing how bad it is in terms of elemental reactions which is the core mechanics of the gameplay.
Geo should react with anemo, call it "sand storm" reaction, react with hydro to make mud, and react with Pyro to make lava, geo reactions should fill in their own niche by providing debuffs to enemies, for example mud can slow down enemies or something
I think geo already found itself an identity for elemental reaction type that hasn't been nailed in yet. Closest hint is Archaic Petra which themes crystallize as a buffing reaction. All it needs now is crystallize itself giving the buffs depending on element, like healing or hp% buff with hydro shards, flat atk from pyro shards, flat energy from electro shards, and crit rate from cryo shards. That way, Archaic Petra and crystallize itself doubles onto two buffs.
Debuffs exist through VV and mainly superconduct, CC through freeze, stagger through overloaded and electro charged, and damage through melt, vape, hyperbloom, burgeon, and aggravate/spread.
Those are great ideas! But Hoyoverse is allergic to great ideas when it comes to Geo reaction.
@@flamezforthegamez1056Agreed!!! That's the best revamp to crystallise or geo in general
It could also interact with Dendro, making dendro constructs that could react with other elements (like fireplaces during rain). Maybe call it "sprout" or something. Dendro teams already want many elements, so making Geo usable with Dendro would indirectly make it usable with other elements if done right.
@@flamezforthegamez1056 i highly agree with you. Crystallize is meant "absorbing the respective element's power" which can be defined as stealing the element's nature and buffing the attacker. Not only it gains the defensive one from creating crystallized shield, it should give the attacker the respective element power that is being crystallized
Here's my concept:
The em in crystallize should also scales how many atk% buff from pyro crystallize, hp% and healing buff from hydro, energy recharge% buff from electro crystallize and crit rate buff to the characters protected by the respective crystallized shields. So this encourage people to build em on geo and hopefully one day we will get a geo character that scales of em
It's more like she saved herself from Geo
Yep pretty much.
Didn't really rework crystallize. It's just a gimmick in her kit to get ammo which makes you feel that crystallize is worth it.
Saving Geo needs to rework the reaction so that crystallized shields do something else than give paper thin shields.
I agree! Just like Zhongli, Navia is a great Geo character not because of but in spite of her element.
The base design of Crystallize itself as a reaction remains to be terrible. like you said, it needs to provide something else other than flimsy shields.
I saw someone else suggest that picking up a crystallize shard could give you a buff based on element (like some attack for pyro, restoring energy for electro, etc)
@@somedragonbastardsadly, they won't ever do that because instead of designing crystallize like that in the first place, they made the archaic petra artifact to make crystallize somewhat useful lol
I bet Geo is going to get a buff or reactions branches like Bloom when Liyue is revisited and expanded
@somedragonbastard That artifact set already exists. Its called archaic petra. Unfortunatelly it is not very useful except some niche situations
It’s kinda like when Raiden was released during her time, where she brought more attention to her element (they didn’t make the element better as a whole, they just happened to be good and that element)
Electro really got the attention once dendro came along and introduced aggrevate and hyperbloom.
@@beanswaterkuki and thoma became WAY better when dendro released.
@@--astro-- uhh, sure but that's not really relevant to what i was talking about.
@@beanswater you're right mb
I find her so strong with Albedo, the fact that he can generate crystallise shards without taking away the elements feels so good to me, without adding that : strong sub dps, geo resonance for bonus damage and geo shred.
(Oh and he is also really good to place her axe on other characters such as Freminet in a Freminet/Albedo/Furina/Kuki team, but it mainly works because my Furina is C2)
That sounds like such a fun team it must just shred the abyss
As a C6 Furina, the team options are indeed near limitless. Playing with Furina Navia Albedo Yelan (wet-rock), the flow of rotations is some of the most fun I've had in 2+ years!
I personally believe Navia is the greatest geo character BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T SCALE OFF OF DEF. Therefore she doesn't require you to invest into some nieshe (nieche? idk how to write it) support like Gorou. Just slap a Bennett and Kuki shinobu into your team with second geo to generate shards and you are good to go. Now off I go to watch the video :D
It’s spelled niche just as a friendly answer
Zhongli, geo traveler, ningussy as well don't scale off def
Zhongli be like
@@strykeralpha9650mf when the element of defense has half the roster not have anything to do with defence
@@ghotifish1838 well hydro is the element of hp and plenty of hydro characters don't scale off that, pyro is attack and same thing
I dont think she saves geo... She saved herself... To me personally, I loved playing her because of her own power and playstyle and not because of geo element...
Her weapon is so fucking cool, I'm ready to drop money for it just to complete the aesthetic alone; she pulls off other greatsword weapons just fine but this really feels like a need
I got it within 30 pulls but I was going for mistsplitter, I'd give you mine for free if there was a way
@@FacialFischlhahahaha you're the opposite of me, I wanted the verdict but I got mistsplitter in 40 pulls... I don't know what to do with that sword tbh 😂
The weapon banner reamed me with the wolves gravestone first aid hard petty then I got hobby as weapon and I had to abandon the banner without a missed splitter and when and just pulled Nadia
yeah I watch a lot of streamers pull they wanted verdict and got mistsplitter, the game always gives you what you don't want as if it can read your mind.@@lXlDarKSuoLlXl
Axe was mandatory drip in my book, sniped in 40 pulls no hassles!
I wasn't expecting to love Navia as much as I do, honestly! Her kit is so so so fun to play. Originally I wasn't planning on pulling b/c im not a geo person, but I accidentally pulled her axe going for mistsplitter (which, thankfully, I still got), plus I'm guaranteed. I think the universe is trying to tell me something
Yeah the weapon banner gave me a wolf gravestone first then her weapon and I had to abandon pulling for my splitter and just go to the Navio Banner
as an f2p who was blessed with navia and her weapon YES! although geo, she is incredibly fun to play with and is an absolute monster at bullying enemies as well!!
Navia didn't save geo but she herself is amazing, she didn't buff geo but her set did.
I feel like as time goes on, Geo characters should establish their new identity by manipulating the crystallize reaction into new inventive ways-I feel like this can be a cool compromise between making Geo more useful in a game where reactions are everything and keeping the element’s core identity inert & solitary as pre-established.
Navia has shown that by making Crystalize reactions catalyze unique gimmicks, Geo can become pretty fun and compete as an element. Imagine Geo characters with unique mechanics like:
- Granting a coordinated attack when under a crystalize shield
- One that can heal characters when crystalize shards are picked up
- One that makes crystalize shields stack their duration, types, and strength with multiple crystalize reactions
- Allows crystalize shards to explode like dendro cores, dealing AoE Geo damage to perpetuate more crystalize reactions
Of course maybe they could rework crystalize itself to be more exciting, and the thought of Geo as an element being too reliant on their characters can rub some people the wrong way, but imo the thought of unique crystalize modifiers being tied to characters could make the element excel in niches and team archetypes we’ve never seen before.
Those are actually amazing well-thought out ideas. But Hoyoverse is far in too deep with how they (badly) designed the core mechanics of Crystallize. Wonderfully, your ideas are somehow a solution moving forward. I hope Hoyoverse would implement these suggestions. Unfortunately, it seems Hoyoverse is allergic to improving Crystallize as a reaction itself.
characters? ok so screw all the geo characters who don't take advantage of those mechanics then...
Her ascention passive is basically Hoyo screaming at you to not use Mono Geo
Her E was enough. But no, gotta give her a free sands (good, she really wants >2k attack)
@@kwayke9 her E gives her infusion, if you time it right you have about 10 second geo damage. the rest is rotation
not counting her burst
@@hamzahmonoarfa9156i can’t see much the color difference of her infusion compared to her non-infused state. the yellow color geo infusion needs to have a better color distinction from normal attack color.
@@skyhart9926 i agree, well aside from aura around her sword theres also particle when she swing it. lastly if its still hard to notice you can just see if the damage number white or gold.
The most interesting thing about Navia that is currently her problem but could end up being an advantage is that she doesn't want to stay on field nearly as long as most on-fielders. Right now few can comfortably fit with that, either they spend too much or too little time on-field, or they don't want to be played with geo. Ninguang and Dehya would actually be perfect, except for the problem that they just doesn't do enough damage to justify a teamslot. Right now the best option is to either battery Xiangling with Bennett, or stay on her longer than you really want to. Hopefully in the future we get the pair for her that will let her use the field time she wants but not force her to use more.
Navia thrives with off field applicators as support. Xingqui, Yae Miko, Furina, Fischl to name a few. I have 0 issues running her with Yae Miko and I can easily get stacks. With Yae Miko & Furina you're going to be getting non stop stacks from her burst with their skills.
@@RealLordVoldemort while Yae Miko does work, she wants to be played with Dendro and Navia really doesn't. Don't get me wrong, it works, just not as well as you would want.
Honestly think she may have a weird synergy with Albedo, he can trigger the crystalize reactions while Navia is off-field and act as a battery while taking minimal field time to place his skill while adding a good amount of dmg to boot (keep in mind this is coming from someone who does not own her so this is just theory)
it's not weird, it's perfect. artillery barrage, incoming!
At that point you might as well throw in c6 Gorou to buff both of them lol. Zhongli can also provide crystalize from off field, if you place his pillar correctly.
shoud've rerun albedo in 4.3 bcs that boy is about to reach eula's record eventually
@@bjornnilsson2941 Gorou doesn't buff Navia since she doesn't scale off Defense. Gorou is useless in Navia teams.
@@TheJH1015he’s not completely useless, he’s just not optimal in the slightest. He does still provide interruption resistance and geo damage bonus with his skill, and his burst provides crystal collapse to help facilitate more off field crystallise reactions whilst also pulling in crystallise shards from a distance. If you have him C4 he heals with his burst as well, and C6 can provide up to 40% crit damage for all nearby party members geo damage. So yeah, while Navia won’t make use of the defence boost he gives, he still provides plenty of other helpful support for her, just not optimal
I think we need to put into perspective that Navia is one character in an element that has an established archetype in the combat system of Genshin. Just like when you posted a similiar video to “Raiden saving Electro” I think we need to recognize that Navia’s kit is solely hers and hers alone. And to elaborate on that point, Raiden’s inclusion into the game didn’t fix electro’s place it only just added more room for new comps. However, it showed that Hoyo was trying to do new things with the element and with Dendro’s inclusion we can say that electro has just as much a place in the DPS category as cryo, hydro, and pyro. AND its characters have unique synergies in a post 3.0 world. Navia doesn’t fix the lack synergy other geo characters have with other units, but it is a sign Hoyo is doing something with future geo units rather than leaving them by the wayside. And that in a sense is how “Navia is saving geo”. She’s only one unit, but a unit that signals a change to one of the most neglected elements of the game.
Vars ll: Where Geo Faruzan?
Gorou: ...
Lol
I think they fck up with Geo, having some chara scale of def and other off attack is just stupid especially since unlike elemental character that can work with Anemo, you are stuck with only Furina who can buff all character if you want to buff those split scaling chara in the same team (Albedo+Navia for example, Gorou can buff Albedo+Noelle/Itto but not Navia) or be happy with their raw dmg output like with Navia + Albedo, Bennett, Xiangling.
Nice to see geo getting it’s first W since post-buff Zhongli
9:40 her C1 does NOT reduce her skill, it lowers the cd of her burst,
In theory Navia's sig can be used on Itto for Ushi damage per screenshot optimisation, the 2 crystallise shards in question are generated by bennet and gorou
Navia didn’t save geo. She saved herself from geo like the girlboss that she is 💗
Great video. Keep up the fun content please.
I pulled for Navia. Happy with C0 and I plan on using the upcoming event weapon.
I also plan on running her with Furina and Charlotte. With the 4th slot being a flex one.
Love how Hoyo finally made crystallize relevant. I think this is the right direction for geo to go.
I just want to say I don't play a single game u cover on any of your channels. I used to play genshin but stopped in version 3 but I honestly love your content to the point where it doesn't matter to me I'll still somehow watch you no matter the game. Keep in mind I found your channel after I quit genshin
His videos are actually quite one of the best when it comes to Genshin.
What it Geo+Dendro gave the 'bind' reaction. When I think earth or plant based characters I think Defense and Healing respectively, but CC also comes to mind with petrify and ensnare. If Geo/Dendo gave some kind of CC that would be an interesting alternative to using an Anemo character such as Kazu or Venti seeing as their VV sets dont actually help Geo. Dendro would be able to provide a niche support role in a Geo team. Just a thought.
funny enough i though of a design back a few months of using crystalize crystals as a stack thing for a char, because the crystalize reaction had no damage usage, but we could generate so many of these things.
a way they could change crystalize to have a damage output, make it so on expiration form time or collecting a new shield would explode the current with the remaining HP of the shield. the amount that you would get is like 7k on a EM build if you wernt to have a modifer. but a slight sacrifice of dmg for the shielding propertys would be a nice change.
I think a cool idea for a Geo + Anemo reaction would be like a damage reaction dependent on the order similar to quicken’s aggravate and spread.
I can see Geo + Anemo turning into Deposition where it does bonus Geo-damage in a small AoE and shoves the target back (unlike overload where it knocks everyone around base on the position, this one will always be a knock back), and any crystallize shards caught up in the AoE extend the AoE (like a chain reaction)
The second order of Anemo + Geo can do something like Sandstorm where it creates a circular field near the afflicted enemy that does 4 small instances of Geo Damage, and if there are crystallized shards around the area they get picked up and can smack into the enemy with their damage based on the type of shard.
Super great idea. And that’s exactly why Hoyoverse won’t do it. They don’t like great ideas when it comes to Geo reaction.
Love the FE Engage music in the background! Thanks for the video
My lvl 60 Navia made me FINALLY defeat the 4.1 local legend that looked like a beyblade. No one I my roster could defeat it, c2 Furina, Neuvi, Kazuha, Nahida, Ayaka, yelan, c6 Yanfei (whom I adore), all dead in less than half a minute. Lvl 60 Navia paired with c2 Furina and Baizhu for healing, using with 4pc marachause because I hadn’t farmed ANYTHING for her, and using lvl 80 serpent spine DESTROYED the shield twice for the rest of my team to finally get that damn achievement. I absolutely love my accidental Navia got in pity 14.
I think it would make sense to give up on the shield to apply the element under some condition to incentivize you to play more aggresively with the shields because you can force the element application by being hit or by swirling and then follow up with an attack that procs a reaction
I'm still mad that Dendro doesn't react with Geo, it's so easy to bullshit a small healing effect with plants (dendro) retrieving nutrients from the soil (geo)
I'm saying this before watching this video. "No, I don't think navia can save Geo. I think the geo needs to have an entire rework on the reaction"
i’m just glad that i finally have a viable use for the unforged rotting in my inventory from mistsplitter banner
I tried her out in the test run bit for the easy 20 primos, hit one elemental skill and just immediately went "holy crap".
Tbh I wish I wasn't saving up for Raiden ;u;
Same. Already prefarmed mats for Raiden and started building Noelle to use with Furina and I wish I had enough to pull Navia as well now 😭
Managed to get both Navia and her weapon. She's currently at Level 70 and her weapon is only at Level 20, but holy cow is she so much fun to use.
Nuke showcases for Candace have her putting up numbers with her skill that are as good as Navia's. _Candace_ for Christ's sake. She does 125-250k, fully buffed, and that damage is all Navia can, or will ever, do. At the same level of investment Itto will easily put up 100k per attack with his burst. A C6 Noelle can easily reach 40-50k per attack over a huge AoE.
Forget about the sorry state of the rest of Geo, and everything that was riding on her as the first new character for the element in more than half the game's lifespan. Here's Navia, taking up a whole spot on your team to swap in and do maybe 300k to a single target every 12 seconds if you focus entirely on just maximizing her damage. In what universe is that even an "okay" character mechanically?
Jesus, tell me you're being paid by Hoyoverse to make this video without telling me you're being paid by Hoyoverse.
It's Vars, what did you expect? literally the second coming of tenten, this guy really thinks Navia is the second coming of Neuvillette lmao, cope harder
This is like looking at Eula’s burst and calling her good
Navia is mediocre, Itto is better purely because of damage
One way i see Geo saved is as if crystalize shields could be stacked, either via special character kit, or overall geo changes. As competition to zhongli at least but with quantity over quality this time.
I think it could be fun to have the new geo characters use the crystallize reaction as some sort of ammo like Navia does or some other form of resource like Neuvillette and HTraveler in which they all have unique uses for them built into their kits. This would allow for hoyo to keep the current reaction instead of having to commit to a complete overhaul which would end up influencing all the currently existing geo characters. Of course, this means the ones we have now would be getting the short end of the stick, but it seems like they're already going this route with the release of Navia, so we'll just have to see what happens in the future.
I’m going to go to c2 because I really love her style and I want to see those big numbers. C2 will allow me to completely disregard crit rate and ER and I can focus solely on crit damage.
We're all ignoring the most important question: what would Sayu look like spinning that great axe?
if they buff geo they could make anemo swirl geo like a sandstorm and dendro grow thorns similar to blooms
The thing is that unfortunately navia didn’t save geo in any way, she kinda only saved herself from being a bad unit because she’s geo. Since crystallize is integral to her kit and directly buffs her dmg she manages to be strong with what little geo has, but unfortunately she’s the only one who benefits from that reaction in regards to geo, if all geo units could benefit from crystallize as she does then geo would overall be a better element
I can't pull for Navia, I have to wait to get my boy Gaming!
A true Gaming experience
Navia is proof that Hoyo isn't thinking of giving Geo anything other than Crystallize.
I think Geo units to come are gonna have their own unique thing to do with the shards like Navia does.
I have a suggestion/theory as to how hoyo could change geo: my theory is that the “gimmick” of Natlan characters will be that they play off of elemental auras (affected by pyro, cryo, dendro, etc.) based off the BP weapon the Talking Stick. It’s a weapon that comes from Natlan that has an effect that only characters like Bennett (a character presumably connected to Natlan) can really make use of so it makes sense that Natlan characters will eventually be able to use the Talking Stick to great effect. How this can tie into geo is that hoyo could simply introduce giving auras to characters protected with a crystallise shield, allowing effects like the Talking Stick to proc easily, and allowing elements to react off of the character itself (like sunfire Jean, self-swirling Kazuha, etc.) which effectively gives Geo a “reaction” with Anemo and Dendro by virtue of having a persistent elemental source.
Considering the theme that Genshin is going with right now and consider Zhongli is an extremely common support, I doubt this battleaxe will not stay locked to her soon enough. We are getting a lot of skill quickswap or off field type characters right now. The only question is if the next one will be a greatsword user. Hopefully yes.
i think in terms of damage amplification, geo dps units ALL need something like navias bullet stack system
I spent all of my savings on Navia and her weapon. Got both tho I struggled with the axe (I first got the Primordial Jade polearm) and, on top of that, I got C1 Mona from the standard banner so I'm actually excited to bring Mona back to my main teams
Got her and Ayaka in only 140 wishes and still have over 200 wishes for Raiden Shogun! As for Navia herself, she is very powerful even at C0 and her gameplay is so much fun. Only downside I can find is she doesn't have very many teams to work with but I haven't tested that much so can't say for sure and its only been a day since she came out. However if your account is in need of a heavy damage dealer then you can't go wrong with Navia.
I went C0 R1 because I want to get some of the other characters that will come soon!
7:55 charlotte has a team wide heal, works really well with furina and applies cryo for crystallize
Barbara and qiqi's bursts too
Crystalize shields should explode when popped and deal damage based on EM or Def of the Geo trigger.
i still love geo as it is (except constructs breaking so easily), and navia looks like an especially fun addition. assuming i do get her before her banner is gone, im gonna run her with kokomi, furina, and zhongli
It would be beneficial to give the Crystallize shield a Jade Shield-like effect, where it reduces enemy resistance based on the strength of the shield. Or maybe give a damage buff based on EM to the character in the shield.
In this banner i managed to get mona, navia, amos bow, mistsplitter, and navias axe. This has been a good banner
Going for c0 r1 if i can help it. Honestly, if i get either weapon id be happy. I have WG and Thresher so if i get mistspliter ill have a nice weapon for Kaeya/Alhaithem to share. If not, woo signiture for Navia!
I got Navia because I'm a ningguang main and I'm not bothered by the geo elements weaknesses. She's kinda powercrept my ningguang lol. They basically occupy the same archetype as an ATK scaling geo DPS.
Got around 100 pulls left. Now I'm probably saving for Arlechino and then Clorinde. Cloud retainer is also on my pull list because I like the Bayonetta and mommy vibes but I'm personally not a fan of plunging attack playstyle in general so if I do get her its probably gonna be in her rerun or something.
I'm also C6 Ningguang main, I am also pulling for Navia, will also pull for Xiao, Cloud Retainer, and maybe Shenhe. I got 52k primos with 32 fates so it's possible
Geo n Pyro makes Magma n the effect is either a slow or shatter armor , geo n hydro makes mud blind effect, geo n anemo duststrom
Correction.
C1 cd refund is for the Q not the E
You said that her weapon was locked to her but the way i see it is it opens up the possibility of using geo more with other elements and buffing geo supports if you have it
its good if you have Zhongli since Zhongli is very versatile
I need fan art of Navia posing, as Escanor and doing Escanor lines.
Maybe navia shatter could be fun? Navia, charlotte, furina, +someone else, maybe yelan or a cryo character to help charlotte energy?
Nah it's really bad
Navia need that crystal so he could hit like a goddamn truck
I was frustrated at first when I got her in a 50/50, but after building her (C0) and pulling her signature weapon(my path was misplitter), she's one of my characters that is present in floor 12 in the abyss
when i saw 130 k on trail i was shocked tbh
I wish we had a unit that would actually make strong shields with crystallize and have off-field damage and application like Albedo. Crystal thickness scales only from em, while units' kits want anything but em, which makes you sacrifice one or the other
i've been thinking about the issues with the Geo element and I think the biggest issue might not be so much the element, but the characters of the element. I pulled Navia and she feels great, plays great, and actually makes good use of the element she inherits. If future geo Characters can make good use of crystallize the way Navia does I really think that would be a big improvement. one other thing I realized is that up until Navia, the only actual attack scaling Geo character we've had has been Ningguang, every other geo character has some form of split scaling between DEF/ATK or HP/ATK which made them a bit less straightforward to build because you had to think about how to spit the sub-stats and such. I don't know if I'd say Navia saves Geo, because her release doesn't help or improve the previous Geo characters we have, but I think if Hoyoverse takes a similar approach to future Geo characters like they did Navia then I think there hope for the future of the element.
at long last the archaic petra set is actual useful on a character LOL
verdict can work for any claymore user you shield with zhongli tho. and hell knows dilulu needs his shield XD
I personally gonna stick to c0 since I am saving for other characters but I did do some pulls on weapons banner till I got 5* which was skyward harp. After that I did like 15 pulls max and hot mistsplitter and said 'f it' and pulled her weapon
Definitely not the “saviour of geo” a character won’t be doing that unless they rework the reaction like nilou. since a shield isn’t really the focus in genshin (it’s a damage test game) geo will always be bad unless a artifact or character makes geo characters do a lot more damage just the way it is right now
My guess, Navia is a test run by Hoyo to count the optimal/balanced amount of buffs that can be gained through crystallize stacking. Navia is simple with her crystallize based buff only affecting herself so that if it becomes too broken or fail, it would only affect one character.
But imagine in the future that new Geo characters are introduced using Navia's shard stacking mechanic. Support that heals based on crystallize shards, buffer that buff ATK/Crit/NA/Geo Dmg/wtv based on crystal shards, or Nilou like DPS that explode shards for damage
God, this video and her trial makes me wanna pull for her and wait for the free weapon to come up since it's supposedly better than her signature..., but I need and want to save for Furina's rerun. >< Especially since I'm low on primos, need her weapon as well, and currently tweaking my Noelle to play with her.
it's not. It's her 8th best. (it's her best free to play option though).
Verdict > R5 SS > WGS > Talking Stick > Unforged > Beacon > Blackcliff (4th best IF it's passive can be easily stacked) > Overlord's Ultimate Magic Bullshit Blade.
Bolide works too. I know people forget that set exists
I just got her, but the pulls didn't go well this time. Lost my 50/50 to Diluc, had to go up to 80 for Navia, so now I have no other choice but to pass on her weapon.
But nonetheless, Navia is hilariously fun to play. Powerful, graceful, armed with a shotgun! What's sad is that she's simply too powerful in the overworld, where most enemies die before getting to full 6 shrapnel. Still, she immediately dethroned Charlotte as my previous favourite Fontanian. Here's hoping that Chlorinde and Arle won't lag behind!
I honestly love her I have somewhat built her and already got a crit for 147k damage and my previous highest was 100k with a Nilou bloom team
Given Chiori is a geo character, I guess she'll be THE support for Navia, and Ningguang in a way, if she actually improves Crystallize instead of just using it as a condition to do more damage. I mean, many people, when talking about improving it, use the Nilou example. So Maybe if Chiori had different "reactions" depending on what crystallize shield is taken, maybe different buffs Navuia would have certain teams in mind.
Right now, I'm using Ningguang with Navia, and I'm glad the three geo DPS have completely different teams that make them optimal. Itto wants triple Geo with Gorou. Noelle wants Furina and maybe Gorou or Yunjin, and Navia with Ning. Although not beneffiting much from Ningguang, she's a Geo Catalyst that can reliably create crystallize reactions, Run Petra, buffs Geo attacks with E and is a quickswap( my C6 rotation has her use E+Q+E+CA) and being also an Atk Scaler, both can benefit from the same buffers like Benett. Ning can even run Amber and heal a bit, although no use for heals in a Benett team.
A geo faruzan? You mean like, oh, I dunno, Gorou?
she still could have turned crystallize into a different reaction like nilou does with bloom, so other geo characters and even her can do more damage with it like an amplifying it transformative reaction would
I predict, Geo might get another buff as a whole during Liyue's being expanded on
crazy what a geo character in the element mixing game can do when they're designed like they're in an element mixing game
in my humble opinion, all of geo being designed to not synergize with any other element is uhhhhhhhhhhh as the kids say "fucking stupid" Let's hope she starts a trend of using crystalizes (shards?) as a resource cause that's pretty cool
Mihoyo just needs to make it so when you pick up crystalize shields on top of pre existing crystalize shields the previous one explodes and deals damage based on EM. That's the only way it would even make sense why they wouldn't stack in the first place and I'm not sure why they didn't design it to work like this
I figure Charlotte would be good if adding Furina with Navia, example team I'm thinking of would be Navia, Furina, Charolette then Albedo/Zhongli/Ninguang
Man I feel like she has officially replaced Itto but then again he doesn't exist anyway, he's about to be the next Eula because I have seen nothing about him whatsoever recently which sucks because I really want him. He and Koko are the last Inazuma characters I need and I can finally start chasing the rest of the Sumeru characters. Anyway I feel like Geo resonance is the way to go and so I plan on using her with Albedo, I'm not all about meta teams as Idc for meta just using who I think will be fun together or who I haven't played as in a bit. The game has about 70 characters might as well use all from time to time.
Bennett with Furina is fine btw, you just need to have a healing bonus centric build with even 2pc HB. The loss of noblesse isn’t a giant deal when you compensate it with furina’s…. Everything.
They got a battle axe now? That’s hype as fuck
All they really need to do to allow Gero to compete is to allow crystalize shields to stack value. While not insane dps like other reactions, at least it would actually perform its niche well, especially considering defensive options in genshin are near nonexistent outside of shields and a special sprint here or there
Frick... I wanted to have her so bad but now my Diluc is C2 with 40 pity built up after...
the banner just started, you have time to keep pulling!
You have enough time though
20 days atleast
@thelakes_s Though, I am now conflicted with waiting for the 4.4 banner with Cloud Retainer
@@justadragonnamemarcus1751 Yeah. But now, I have to battle the temptation of splashing cash
I think the only major problem Navia's gonna face is the fact she's like Wanderer: She's fine, perfectly usable, easy to play, and overall good on average. However, she's being followed by Lantern Rite.
If we remember Wanderer, he got followed by both Yaoyao and ALhaitham, 2 DISGUSTINGLY good units that came out during Lantern Rite, then got followed by the infamous AquaHoma banner with Yelan and Hu Tao, two other disgustingly OP units. His kit's fine (it's actually kinda fun to be an A-10 attack craft for a few seconds), and he's a good Main DPS, but you're not competing with the units being released during China's most lucrative holiday of the year, as they will specifically be kitted out to be outright monsters.
So, bearing in mind she's being followed by Lantern Rite, Raiden's rerun, Engulfing Lightning + Thundering Pulse, and a high likelihood of a Hu Tao rerun (meaning Staff of Homeless) . . . her being fine is probably gonna hurt.
Except Wanderer does vastly better damage, and he wasn't the first Anemo to come out after years of Hoyo neglecting his element, and Anemo didn't desperately need to be pulled out of the gutter when he was released. Other than all those things, yeah, they're very similar.
Not really
hu Tao is not rerunning in the near future.
What high likelihood of Hu Tao rereun? She just reran!
@@phatpat63Navia better
SHE IS SO FUN, i was not ready for this gameplay (quickswap bang bang).
I really love Candace/Xinyan Gameplay, and she is even BETTER (because she has the DMG).
GEO sucks, but Navia is 10/10, best Geo alongside Noelle.
Chiori, plz, save Geo!
One way to buff geo would be having the crystallize shields buff characters in more ways than just... shielding them:
- Pyro crystallize shields could buff the attack of anyone they protected;
- Cryo crystallize shields could buff the crit rate of anyone they protected;
- Electro crystallize shields could increase the energy recharge of anyone they protected;
- Hydro crystallize shards could regenerate a bit of HP when picked up, maybe even for the whole party. I was gonna suggest increasing the shielded character's max HP, but that would be redundant to anyone who's not a HP scaler since the shield is already protecting you from damage. HP regeneration would be unique because this would be the only reaction to do that without the need of a healer (though it'd be just a small amount of HP to make up for that).
I was seriously thinking they going to make some brand new technology with crystallize for navia, but lmao it's still is unga bunga damage but gains allot of buff with crystallize. And that trial, hot damn i saw 100k it was wild as heck. 😂😂
Can you do a Why Everyone Plays for Tingyun if you can? Thanks
I think she's good more so because she herself is good and not because she's geo or at the very least she does not follow the geo formula
She's not the savior of geo but she does survive being geo
Yep, Navia is great not because of but in spite of her element. She’s incredible like Zhongli because of her kit, not because of her element.
Dude literally wait till the new update for release the video xD
We have geo faruzan, gorou came out before faruzan so technically faruzan is an anemo gorou.
She is so much fun to play, I hope Chiori will go well with her. C0 feels like plenty for her
