Normal Attack: Nahida’s normal attack consists of up to 4 attacks that deal Dendro damage to opponents in front of her.

Charged Attack: Nahida’s charged attack consumes a certain amount of stamina and deals AoE Dendro damage to opponents in front of her after a short casting time.

Opponents who have been marked by the Seed of Skandha will be linked to one another up till a certain distance. After you trigger Elemental Reactions on opponents who are affected by the Seeds of Skandha or when they take damage from Dendro Cores (including Burgeon and Hyperbloom damage), Nahida will unleash Tri-Karma Purification on the opponents and all connected opponents, dealing Dendro damage based on her attack and Elemental Mastery. You can trigger at most 1 Tri-Karma Purification within a short period of time.

  • Electro: While Nahida remains within the Shrine of Maya, the interval between each Tri-Karma Purification from “All Schemes to Know” is decreased.
    Hydro: The Shrine of Maya’s duration is increased.

If there are at least 2 party members of the aforementioned Elemental Types present when the field is deployed, the aforementioned effects will be increased further. Even if Nahida is not on the field, these bonuses will still take effect so long as party members are within the Shrine of Maya.
