Navia, the President of the Spina

Rarity	(5-Star)
Element	Geo
Weapon	Claymore
Best Role	Quickswap DPS / Main DPS
Stat Priority	CRIT > ATK% > ER
Tier	S (The Geo Savior)

Navia is the President of the Spina di Rosula and a Geo Claymore user who finally makes Crystallize reactions offensive. Unlike traditional Geo units who want Mono Geo teams, Navia demands teammates of Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo to generate shards, which she loads into her Gunbrella for massive shotgun blasts.

Pros

Insane front-loaded damage (200k+ Skill hits).
Flexible teams (doesn't need Mono Geo).
Very F2P friendly (Event weapon is great).
Self-sufficient Geo application.
Satisfying shotgun gameplay.

Cons

Relies on teammates to generate Crystallize shards.
Burst has standard ICD (not great for shield breaking).
Best artifact set (Nighttime Whispers) is resin inefficient.
Gunbrella can miss if enemies move fast.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact: 4pc Nighttime Whispers (Signature).
Alt Artifact: 4pc Marechaussee Hunter (Furina Team) or 2pc ATK / 2pc Skill.
Best Weapon: Verdict (Signature).
Alt Weapon: Serpent Spine (BP) or The Unforged.
F2P Weapon: Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword (Event) or Tidal Shadow.
Main Stats: SANDS: ATK% | GOBLET: Geo DMG | CIRCLET: CRIT.
Talent Priority: Elemental Skill > Normal Attack > Elemental Burst.
Top Team: Navia + Zhongli + Bennett + Xiangling (Geo Vape).

Pro Tip: Hold E to Vacuum: You don't need to run around picking up shards. Holding her Skill sucks nearby Crystallize shards to her, instantly granting "Crystal Shrapnel" charges. Aim, Hold, Fire.

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Ceremonial Crystalshot

Gunbrella Warfare: Fires a Rosula Shardshot.
Crystal Shrapnel (Ammo): When a party member picks up a Crystallize shard, Navia gains 1 Shrapnel charge (Max 6).
Damage Scaling:
- 0-2 Charges: Deals moderate Geo DMG.
- 3 Charges: Deals 200% Base DMG. This is your target.
- 4-6 Charges: Further increases damage.
Hold E: Navia enters aiming mode and sucks in nearby Crystallize shards to build charges instantly.

Elemental Burst: As the Sunlit Sky's Singing Salute

Cost: 60 Energy | Cooldown: 15s
Cannon Fire: Calls down a bombardment that deals Geo DMG over time.
Support: When a cannonball hits an enemy (every 2.4s), Navia gains 1 Crystal Shrapnel charge. This helps build stacks while she is off-field or rotating.

Passive: Mutual Assistance Network

ATK Buff: For each Pyro/Electro/Cryo/Hydro party member (Max 2), Navia gains 20% ATK. This is why you want 2 PECH characters in her team (e.g. Bennett + Xiangling).

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Skill (Level 10) - The shotgun. 90% of her damage.
Normal Attack (Level 8) - Used during infusion window.
Elemental Burst (Level 8) - Stack generation.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Navia needs Energy to keep her Burst up for stack generation.

Team Context	Skill Usage	ER Requirement
Double Geo (Zhongli/Chiori)	2 Skills	120% - 130%
Solo Geo (Navia Driver)	2 Skills	150% - 170%
With Favonius Team	2 Skills	110% - 120%

Substat Priority:

CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG (Target 70/160+)
ATK%
Energy Recharge (Until requirement met)

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
4pc Nighttime Whispers	BiS	Signature. Gives ATK and massive Geo DMG bonus when picking up Crystallize shards. ~10% better than other options.
4pc Marechaussee Hunter	Furina Team	Only works if paired with Furina (HP drain). Gives 36% Crit Rate. Very strong.
2pc ATK / 2pc Geo	Flexible	Efficient. Mix Golden Troupe/Petra/Glad. Only about 5-8% worse than Whispers but much easier to farm.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Verdict	CRIT Rate	S+	Signature. High Base ATK, ATK buff, and Skill DMG buff when picking up shards. Fashion + Power.
Serpent Spine (R5)	CRIT Rate	S	BP Weapon. Rivals R1 Verdict if stacks are maintained (use a shielder like Zhongli).
Ult. Overlord's Mega Sword	ER%	A (Event)	4.3 Event Weapon. Gives massive ATK% based on Melusines helped. Very strong F2P option.
Tidal Shadow (R5)	ATK%	A (Craftable)	Fontaine Craftable. Massive ATK boost if healed. Works well in Bennett/Furina teams.

Constellation Value

Navia is excellent at C0. Constellations are pure damage.

C1: A Lady's Rules for Keeping a Safe Distance - (Energy) Skill usage restores Energy and reduces Burst CD based on ammo used. Makes her energy management trivial.
C2: The President's Pursuit of Victory - (Crit) Skill gains up to 36% CRIT Rate based on ammo. Also calls down a Cannon support fire. Massive consistency boost.
C6: The Flexible Finesse of the Spina's President - (Nuke) Skill consumes excess ammo (beyond 3) to increase Crit DMG by 45% (up to 135%) and refunds the ammo. Turns her shotgun into a nuclear missile.

Verdict: C0 is perfect. C2 is the best stopping point for spenders.

Top Team Compositions

1. Geo-Pyro-Hydro (Standard)

Main DPS: Navia
Geo Support: Zhongli / Chiori / Albedo
Pyro/Hydro: Bennett / Xiangling / Furina
Flex: Yelan / Fischl

Why it works: Navia + Zhongli gives Geo Resonance (+15% DMG). Bennett gives huge ATK. Xiangling/Furina apply elements to create Crystallize shards for Navia to load.

2. Plunge Navia (Xianyun)

Main DPS: Navia
Plunge Support: Xianyun
Buffer: Furina
Geo/Flex: Zhongli / Chiori

Why it works: Navia has Geo infusion on her NAs after using Skill. Xianyun allows her to Plunge during this window, dealing AoE Geo damage while waiting for her next Skill charge. Furina buffs everything.

Rotations & Combos

Standard Shotgun Rotation:
Navia Q > Supports (Bennett Q / Furina EQ) > Navia Hold E (Aim) -> N4 (Infused) > Navia Hold E -> N4

Tip: Always use Q first to start generating ammo while you swap to supports. When you swap back to Navia, Hold E to suck in any shards on the floor to hit max (6) stacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can she work in Mono Geo?
Not recommended. She needs shards to reload. Gorou/Itto don't generate enough shards, and Gorou's buffs don't scale her as well as Bennett/Furina.

Is Nighttime Whispers worth farming?
Yes, if you main Navia. It is significantly better than 2pc/2pc. However, if you have a god-tier 4pc Marechaussee Hunter and run Furina, that is equally good.
