Nefer Build Quick Summary

• Best Artifacts: Night of the Sky's Unveiling

Genshin Impact Nefer build guide - How to use Nefer

Nefer is a five-star Dendro Lunar-Bloom DPS. Like Flins and Zibai, Nefer capitalizes on Lunar reactions, supported by Moonsign characters, to deal serious damage in-game.

The Lunar-Bloom DPS’ kit, while it looks complicated, is actually pretty easy to use. When played in her primary role, your team is required to activate Moonsign Ascendant Gleam. This is done by having another Nod-Krai member on the team. Another requirement is at least one off-field Hydro character who will help create Dendro Cores and Verdant Dews.

For an optimal setup, you can use this basic rotation: 

• Step 1: Set up Hydro and Dendro supports or applicators
• Step 2: Generate Dendro Cores via reaction between Hydro and Dendro attacks, and Verdant Dews from Lunar-Bloom
• Step 3: Switch to Nefer and hold Elemental Skill  
• Step 4: Perform Charged Attacks to consume stacks  

For an optimal combo, use E > 3 Charged Attacks > E Charged Attacks. To fully optimize her kit, some dash cancels may be learned, similar to how they are used with Hu Tao’s charged attacks.

Genshin Impact Nefer talent priority

As a damage dealer, we recommend investing resources into her kit. Here are the talents you should prioritize for the best Genshin Nefer build. 

Talent	Nefer talent Priority	Recommended level
Normal Attack	★ ★	2+
Elemental Skill	★ ★ ★ ★ ★	10+
Elemental Burst	★ ★ ★ ★	8+

Although Nefer uses charged attacks to inflict damage, the damage barely comes from her normal attack multipliers so feel free to ignore this talent. So, for Nefer talent priority, focus on upgrading her elemental skill, which is the bread-and-butter of her kit. After crowning or upgrading her skill, you can work on her elemental burst next.

Best Weapons for Genshin Impact Nefer build

Nefer Weapons Quick Recommendation

• Best-in-slot: Reliquary of Truth
• Best alternative: Nightweaver’s Looking Glass- Best 4-star: Dawning Frost
• Best F2P: Blackmarrow Lantern
• If you have Nefer’s signature weapon, it is always the top choice due to its strong CRIT and EM
• scaling. Otherwise, prioritize EM-based catalysts.

Although Nefer relies on a transformative reaction, it’s Lunar reactions we’re talking about here, so she’ll need hefty amounts of Crit damage, Crit rate, and EM. The best weapons for the best Genshin Nefer build are Reliquary of Truth, Nightweaver’s Looking Glass, Tome of the Eternal Flow, Dawning Frost, Surf’s Up, and Blackmarrow Lantern.

Reliquary of Truth (5-star)

Nefer’s signature weapon and her best-in-slot. A good source of crit stats and EM, and is best used in Lunar-bloom teams for extra Crit Damage. 

• Base ATK: 542
• CRIT DMG: 88.2%

Nightweaver’s Looking Glass (5-star)

Nefer’s second best weapon. This amplifies Nefer’s reaction damage by increasing her elemental mastery, and Lunar-Bloom damage. 

• Base ATK: 542
• Elemental Mastery: 265

Tome of the Eternal Flow (5-star)

Tome of Eternal Flow is considered a good Crit stats stick, despite its passive effect not significantly impacting Nefer’s damage. 

• Base ATK: 542
• CRIT DMG: 88.2%

Surf’s Up (5-star)

Surf’s up provides tons of crit damage. Like Tome of Eternal Flow, it only serves as a stats stick as Nefer doesn’t benefit from NA damage increase.

• Base ATK: 542
• CRIT DMG: 88.2%

Dawning Frost (4-star)

The best 4-star option for Nefer. High crit damage means excellent damage output. The EM increase this weapon provides directly improves her damage as well. 

• Base ATK: 510
• CRIT DMG: 55.1%

Blackmarrow Lantern (4-star)

Competitive F2P weapon option for Bloom and Lunar-bloom teams. 

• Base ATK: 454
• Elemental Mastery: 221

Genshin Nefer constellations - Should you pull?

Listed below are Genshin Nefer’s constellations, their ratings and whether you should pull for them. Overall, her C2, C4 and C6 are her best constellations. 

Nefer Constellations – Worth Pulling?

• C0: Fully usable baseline
• C1: Small QoL / Minor boost
• C2: Biggest power spike (usually best value)
• C4: Situational utility / scaling upgrade
• C6: Full kit unlock / major damage ceiling increase

01. Planning Breeds Success
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: The base damage of Lunar-Bloom reactions triggered by Nefer’s Phantasm Performance is increased. It scales at 60% of her Elemental Mastery. This effect is also boosted by the Veil of Falsehood. Reason: Nefer receives a damage boost to her charged attacks based on how much EM she has. Overall a strong upgrade to her kit.

02. Observation Feeds Strategy

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: Enhances the effects of the Ascension Talent A Wager of Moonlight. Veil of Falsehood’s duration is extended by 5 seconds, and its stack limit is increased to 5. Phantasm Performance can also deal up to 140% of its original damage. When Nefer uses her Elemental Skill, Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights, she instantly gains 2 stacks of Veil of Falsehood. Additionally, when Veil of Falsehood reaches 5 stacks or when the fifth stack’s duration is refreshed, Nefer gains 200 Elemental Mastery for 8 seconds. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "A Wager of Moonlight." Reason: A must-pull for Nefer. When activated, this increases the base multiplier of her passive to 40% and she gets 200 EM by reaching max stacks of Veil of Falsehood instead of 100.

03. Deceit Cloaks the Truth
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★  Effect: Increases the Level of Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Reason: A good increase to her elemental skill’s damage multipliers.

04. Delusion Ensnares Reason

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: When Nefer is on the field and in the Shadow Dance state, you will gain Verdant Dew 25% faster. Additionally, while Nefer is in the Shadow Dance state, nearby opponents will have their Dendro RES decreased by 20%. When Nefer exits the Shadow Dance state or after she strays a certain distance away from the opponents, this effect will be removed after 4.5s. Reason: A great constellation given that it applies Dendro shred during her elemental skill. She also gains Verdant Dew faster, improving her rotations.

05. Opportunity Hides in the Margins
Ratings: ★ ★ ★  Effect: Increases the Level of Sacred Vow: True Eye's Phantasm by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Reason: Upgrades her elemental burst.

06. Victory Flows from the Turning of Tides

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: When Nefer unleashes Phantasm Performance, the second stage of her damage is converted into AoE Dendro DMG. It scales at 85% of her Elemental Mastery. When Phantasm Performance ends, it triggers an additional instance of AoE Dendro DMG. This extra damage scales at 120% of Nefer’s Elemental Mastery. All of this damage is considered Lunar-Bloom DMG from Phantasm Performance. Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam further increases Nefer’s Lunar-Bloom DMG by 15%. Reason: Greatly improves Nefer’s kit, and overall damage output. With this C6, Nefer gets to deal a ton more damage in a single rotation, and her Lunar-bloom damage in Ascendant Gleam is also elevated by 15%.

Genshin Impact Nefer guide - Nefer best teams

Best Genshin Nefer Teams (v6.5)

• Best Genshin Nefer team (highest damage) - Nefer, Lauma, Columbina and Sucrose
• Balanced Genshin Nefer team: Nefer, Furina, Lauma and Kuki Shinobu
• Best Nefer F2P team: Nefer, Aino, Collei, and Kuki Shinobu

Genshin Nefer Premium team - Nefer, Lauma, Columbina and Sucrose

The most expensive and premium Nefer team consists of Nefer, Lauma, Columbina and a flex. 

• Main DPS: Nefer
• Sub-DPS and buffer: Lauma 
• Sub-DPS and buffer: Columbina
• Support and buffer: Sucrose 

Every Nod-Krai DPS has their own prime sub-DPS, and Nefer, it is Lauma. 

Lauma is a sub-DPS support offering a bunch of great buffs such as Dendro resistance shred, Lunar-Bloom crit rate and crit damage increase, and Lunar-bloom base and additive damage bonus. Her kit meshes perfectly well with Nefer, so that the Lunarbloom DPS suffers a huge damage output loss by not having Lauma in the team. 

Meanwhile, Columbina is generally a great Lunar sub-DPS, support and off-field hydro applicator. With her gravity ripple, she can also increase the damage of Lunar reactions. The final slot can go to any supports, healers, or shielders. For a glass cannon team, enter Sucrose. Sucrose makes it easier to deal with multiple enemies with her crowd controls. She also provides debuff via Viridescent Venerer, and further increases Nefer’s damage via teamwide EM buff.

Nefer Furina team - Nefer, Furina, Lauma and Kuki Shinobu

• Main DPS: Nefer
• Sub-DPS and buffer: Furina 
• Sub-DPS and buffer: Lauma 
• Support and healer: Kuki Shinobu

Players can also replace Columbina with Furina. Furina is a sub-DPs with impressive hydro application through her elemental skill. It has 100% uptime, good application rate, and her personal damage is something not to be underestimated as well. On top of everything, she applies Fanfare buffs using her elemental burst, which increases Nefer’s damage. For Furina teams, you will require a healer for the final slot.

Nefer F2P team - Nefer, Aino, Collei, and Kuki Shinobu

• Main DPS: Nefer 
• Sub-DPS and Hydro applicator: Aino 
• Sub-DPS: Collei 
• Healer: Kuki Shinobu

Nefer is also free-to-play friendly. All she needs is at least one hydro off-fielder, a Nod-krai unit, and another dendro. Luckily, Aino exists, which means you can pretty much slot in some good dendro 4-stars and a flex. 

For the third and second slot, you can use Collei for off-field dendro application, and Kuki Shinobu for healing and sustain.
