Objectively speaking, the "best" DPS is the top pick and, therefore, the other DPS are the "luxury" options, since either one of them can get the job done as well.
Pulling for her since she has like the most fun, elegant and bouncy animations. And I love Geo. And she has a gun. And she has a frickin cannon salute. Can't wait to shout "Artilllerieeee" (artillery in German lol)
Noelle benefits from Navia a lot. She has the highest Geo energy generation, which Noelle really needs. And her E quickswap playstyle is perfectly compatible with Noelle's playstyle. Her theoretical prolonged damage is slightly lower than Albedo's but since it's front loaded and doesn't rely on a construct she's actually more reliable, and her focus on single target compliments Noelle's focus on AOE to balance her teams a little which is always beneficial. In short this isn't Navia vs Noelle, it's Navia 💛 Noelle.
@@paulgrosu622it should be good, though probably will perform similarly with yelan instead of navia. Yelan just performs really well in double hydro with furina, with buffing, damage, hydro resonance, and energy generation. The rotation might be a bit annoying though, navia wants to go on field a few seconds after using burst for the crystallizes while furina wants noelle to go first for the healing.
This is the ideal scenario for me. Frees up that last slot in a Navia+Furina team to be basically anyone I want. Would be cool if her crystallize buffs also buff both geo and the infused element, unlike petra.
Chiroi being an off field team wide healer would be so perfect for itto to use Furina, also would probably replace Baizhu in Neuvillette/Furina because you can use petra.
How sad is it that we get the first Geo character in two years, and not only does she do nothing to pull the element out of the gutter, but we have to hope that _another_ character will come out to make her more usable?
you make it sound like shes terrible. she introduces a new playstyle for geo that promotes non mono geo unlike other unites that just want more geo to make geo do more geo damage. I will admit shes not a unit thats necessarily reviving a whole element (but i cant really think of any single unit doing that) but she is a sign that hoyoverse is trying to shift the playstyle potential of geo.@@phatpat63
I think the Albedo comparison is apt. She's an easy skip, but also easy to drop into a lot of teams. And then there's the uncertain future... a 4th slot member sits on the edge of irrelevance because at any point, a new character that interacts with and benefits the team in a meaningful way could come into existence. But maybe there will be a future character that changes her from a 4th slot character to something more. Didn't really happen for Albedo, but maybe it'll happen for her. Or maybe it won't. Overall, she's someone people should skip unless they find her character particularly appealing. Even if you think she might be improved with a future character, like Chiori, it will be better to wait until her first re-run, when you know for sure. That said, I pulled for Albedo, and I'm pulling for her. Also her weapon, because axe.
Honestly she's giving me Kuki syndrome vibes. I bet that she's going to feel super out of place right now, but then two or three new characters are going to come out over the next few patches that she's going to be an absolute God with.
I personally don't see it. The problem is geo + DPS. This combo means there isn't a two way interaction with other characters. Yelan, for example, applies hydro, setting up reactions. And while she does that, she also deals a ton of damage. And while she's doing both those things, she'll also ramping up the DMG of the on-field character. C2 Raiden hits hard with her burst, but while she's doing that, she's also providing a ton of energy to the team. And she buffs burst DMG for the team. Nahida again deals a lot of damage for a short on-field time, but while she's doing that, she's also applying dendro, and, if C2, debuffing defense. Kuki, meanwhile, was designed to trigger interactions, but also role compression, offering healing with that. Much like why Kokomi sees play... elemental application + healing. Navia, though, is just damage, and the second worst type of damage after physical. Now, if it does happen, that'll be great for her. But I wouldn't get one's hopes up.
@@Axterix13 That combination could still be very good considering the use of Thundersoothers or Lavawalkers. Funny thing is that these two sets find little use where most elemental reactions occur where these auras aren't particularly at its strongest and are mainly for mono elemental teams. But consider the case for double geo where the character wants a dominant aura on the enemy to have further increased damage like Lyney for example. You'll only really see Thundersoothers on Aggravate for elemental reactions but competes heavily with GIlded Dreams or Thundering Fury. Lavawalkers has been only mono pyro so reactionless, or a Furina vape team with Klee using it but still competes hard with Marechaussee Hunters. Thus, characters that benefit from a remaining pyro or electro aura on the enemy makes Navia an easy slot-in option whose closing or opening a geo resonance for further damage. And I figure Clorinde may be that character, especially if in favor of electro charged since electro charged leaves a continuous aura of electro for a period. Navia just needs to find a team that dominantly prefers Archaic Petra for buffs- say they are characters that behaves similar to Nighttime Whispers, where they work at their fullest or perform at 120% while under a shield.
that's my feeling as well. Geo really doesn't have too many things in it's reaction that we don't already have that can be built upon except crystallization and a geo healer. But if cloud retainer is a healer, it doesn't make sense to release another healer after her.
I already calculated my navia's damage at c0. With my build and comp she will hit 300k when her E is fully stacked and do some good damage with her geo normal attacks and burst.
Actually there is a good team for her. Albedo - Charlotte and Furina. Albedo is pretty good at making crystalize reactions and Charlotte can actually apply Cryo pretty well with her skill just like Furina and Charlotte can heal the whole team, making the buff of furina easily doable. But then again if Chiori is a crystalize based healer then the team comps open up even more.
Hi mate, nice video. Like the addition of music. Gives a chill vibe. By the way if you don't mind I noticed something while listing on headphones. I hear your voice being reflected from your walls that creates a bit of scratchy sound. Hard to describe but it can be fixed easily if you add sound dampeners in front of you. There also some filters that can help out with that. Keep it up!
I think most new characters that are released and about to be, are giving more options for team comp that doesn't need to be solo carried by SS tier like Neuvillette, Raiden or Alhaitham. B to S tier is also fun option to switch onfield especially when the SS tier enters cooldown on their burst or skills. Players doesn't necessarily have to farm strictly crit dmg artifacts to one rotation the enemy.
Navia might be the most Flexible Sub-dps in the game, while also providing Shield. We have Super Sub-dps like Fischl and Yelan, but they don't provide Defensive Value. Navia can close them in Quick Swap Sub-dps Damage value, while also Providing Shield.
@gilr5276 That's not how shields work. You still take the excess DMG. The only pro you get from having such shields is that you dont get staggered on that hit, which is nice unless the attack is multi-hit, so you will still get staggered anyway.
@@finnthedog5321it becomes really strong against respective element and it can still be affected by shield strength. That said, it won't be permanent IR or damage nullification so a healer or true shielder will still be necessary, but a ToM support can be really handy such as Layla, Charlotte, or anyone else you can name for ToM. What's appreciated is that she can swap off with little downside compared to Itto, so she can fit well alongside Noelle. Plus, she may just help be a sub dps with Archaic Petra for off fielder teams like National duo or an aggravate team cope.
@@finnthedog5321 You are wrong. Crystalize shield from full EM character is very strong. Only issue is... why the frick you would build geo on full EM?? And why not just going with shielder? In practice yeah, they provide little. Not nothing, no. But very little. It's not about crystalize shields being weak, but scaling and mechanic in a weird spot, get facts straight.
Questions I ask myself: 1. Is she worth it when you have C2 Itto with R1 Redhorn? - No. 2. Does she rework geo, or is the crystallize shard being ammo just a gimmick in itself and not really bringing something new to the element? - This is not yet the geo rework I am hoping for. 3. Why doesn't she scale off defense? - I don't know. Immediate lost synergy to the Gorou buff. Navia aside, at this point whenever new units release, I consider more of what they can do that others don't. If they just do damage, then it's harder to justify. Same reason I skipped Lyney, Neuvillette and Wriothesley, but made sure to get Furina. Also, maybe I'm one of the few who doesn't feel any pull towards Navia. I just don't like her as others do, character and design wise. Not even her back story in the Archon quest.
I have a different way to look at it. 1) What is the hardest content in the game? *Spiral Abyss.* 2) Is the Spiral Abyss so difficult that it requires playing only the top *meta* teams? *No.* 3) Can you clear all the content in the game regardless? *Yes.* My Conclusion: *Just pull for characters that you like, find cool, enjoy, etc. It's all meaningless anyways. Have fun.*
@@sweetbabyrayso5262 The video is irrelevant, because this isn't a comment addressing the video. It's a comment in response to another comment about this topic. The OG commenter shared *their way of analyzing the situation* in regards to pulling the character. I shared my view in response to that topic. What about you? What are you hoping to add to the conversation with your comment?
@@ElTestok what i mean is your comment literally added nothing to the discussion whatsoever as the og commenter isnt talking about how much they like navia as a character. They are specifically talking about the uniqueness in her kit/gameplay and how they feel its not unique enough to warrant pulling. Your comment is riding the high ground with this "pull for characters you like" Like that isnt a given. People like characters for different reasons. To me it seemed you didnt even know the reason the og commenter is conflicted on pulling her. They arent thinking about pulling navia to clear the abyss. Not everyone pulls to clear abyss.
@@a-passerbyyeah, Xiao support on C0 and universal support on C2. I still hope it’s fake, but I am quite disappointed. And then they say her flying abilities aren’t that good, bruh… 4.4 beta is either a huge win, either a Dehya level of disappointment for me
@@3.16music I hope that's mostly fake, just catering one character won't help! And plunging attacks are least used attack method, wait, Cloud Retainer is still a 5-star right? Becoz such a kit screams like those niche 4-stars to me😣
@@a-passerby I think it's likely as fake as mono hydro carry neuvilette, furina's kit having to do with gravity, nahida summoning a tree for her burst etc
I personally see navia similar to ningguang, she deals good damage but geo as an element is so neutral and so left out that whats the point in using it if there are better teams that will do better. I agree that geo 5 stars seems like a luxury pull atleast for me because i have albedo,zhongli,itto and i hardly use them maybe except for zhongli
I mean, with c6 yelan then you could just don't play anything else but tartaglia for hydro resonance + the extra level on normal attacks and you would be capable of finishing abyss 12
that is the exact same Noelle team I tested and liked it a lot. Of course it doesn't have the same dmg ceiling other teams with 5 stars, reactions carries can do, but it's pretty fun and functional
I feel like navia can work pretty well with c6 ningguang since both of them have almost the same amount of field time and ning's jade increases geo damage so a team of them and bennet and furina might be her best team
I have c0 furina, c4 gorou and c6 noelle, maybe its finally time to give some love to the character that carried me on both Mond and Liyue🧐 Navia looks amazing, good luck for everyone pulling! i have Ayaka already so im getting the pyro girl this time ❤
Many people still think geo is “bad” because it can’t do reaction. But people forget swirling exists. The only thing makes swirl not look bad because of VV set, by nature, swirl does fuck all.
Swirl does alow you to trigger other reactions too like in soup teams but I still agree geos problem isn't reactions it's how few characters there are and how restricted they are. Wasn't hu Taos best team before yelan double geo with zhongli, albedo, xingqui? I think Xiao teams played double geo too at one point. Albedo and zhongli were good because they had no restrictions because they were off field units and together gave geo res which offered damage bonus, after that we got itto who's a hyper carry, goro who is his support but restricts him to mono geo to maximize his buff, and yun jin who is ok but only for normal attack focused units. Noel go a big buff with Furina and her teams don't even use reactions.
@@marky4627 aint gonna lie, most of the time, i use swirl because of VV set, using swirl to trigger other reaction is kinda like 1.0 meta to me. I don’t know, i use Hutao Zhongli sometimes Xiangling or Mona and Xingqiu before Yelan, but I mostly used sucrose or kazuha for CC. I don’t know about that geo xiao team, i used the 2 anemo (xiao and sucrose/kazuha), fish and Bennett. Geo RES sounds not useful in team that doesn’t have geo dps tbh. Noel got a big buff from Furina for sure
You are correct that anemo is down there with cryo, though both are still above geo, when looked at mostly in a vacuum. And like geo, anemo usage in a team is more based around a character kit or two, rather than anything else. However, VV does exist, and the geo equiv isn't nearly as easy to use, nor is it quite as beneficial. And so anemo (by which, people really mean Kaz or Sucorse) is considered good, while geo isn't
@@Axterix13 tbf, Cryo can do Melt but as current meta, it is not as reliable as Vape or other metas reactions but it is still more useful. And yeah, anemo is good mainly the existence characters and the VV set which is still very strong
I wonder how well shed work in a burning team. For example nahida bennet xiangling navia. The double pyro should help her attack (+bennet buff) while the crystalize pyro shields should help protect from the burning dmg. The constant pyro application will help her get tons of crystal shields ez
i think she would be a good subdps for noelle or ninguang Sup setup-> Navia skill+burst-> Noelle/Ningguang's peak dmg -> navia skill-> Noelle/Ningguang again -> rotation restart
Must pull because she's hot lol 😂 j/k But will pull because we haven't had a Geo 5 ⭐ in a long time and her kit is pretty interesting (constellations to be determined...)
I will not pull for Navia exclusively because I don't have another geo character to pair with her. I could use Ningguang but I don't like using her, probably when Chiori releases I'd pull for her but I'd be losing potential for like 6 months until Chiori is released?
Ah Archaic Petra. I used to use it to Albedo when he was freshly out back at 1.2 but since I have enough Geo unit I end up change it with that one artifact I forgor the name in Inazuma for mono geo team as battery. I feel like Navia need a Geo team that can benefit their team after getting the crystal and it's probaly gonna be rare to see future Geo unit that is more defense scaling.
At this point I’m only focusing on my favourite old teams and on the characters I really like playing. I’m playing since 2020 buying Welkin and Battle Pass. I have a good team of every element. From Sumeru I got only Nahida, then Wanderer C1 (the character whose gameplay I enjoy the most). From Fontaine I got only Furina c6. Now I’m saving Primogems for the next unit that will catch my interest.
Chevereuse doesn't work for Aggravate. Her kit requires you to only have *Electro* and *Pyro* in your team. This means she can be good for *Overload* and not Aggravate. ;)
I can see a lot of people pulling for Navia, regardless of her DMG numbers ( a very well written female character, yea they exist), but not going all-in about constellation, or even her BiS cool weapon. Like it happened for Neuvi, she will get her best support in upcoming patches, not strong as Furina, but way better than everything available atm. PS: the GER of triple Scientist was wonderful.
@@Axterix13 They could be a support that enables better synergy with Furina and crystallized simultaenously. So imagine a crystallized healer. Each shard picked up heals the team, and each shard gives a dmg bonus like archaic petra.
New set in general is much better, golden troupe only if you are using her for her E alone and even in those cases it's cope. Only use it if you have a good golden troupe set and don't want to grind her set.
I love her design and Im on gurantee so I will ve rollong her anyway, probably pair her with my Albedo. I also happen to have an R2 Unforged sitting in my inventory from having no luck on the wep banner, so finally someone can make use of it. I dont have the rolls to pull the wep aswell.
How about Ningguang in double geo teams with Navia. Ning's best teams are double geo and double pyro, I have C6 Ning but not Zhongli so I guess Navia can fit well?
@@idi_nahuy666 is that so?? I didn't know that!!😮 I just recently hit AR59, so in memory of the first character that carried me thru the beginning of the story, I wanted to build Noelle for so long, and after Furina came, its said she's better than ever before, so I thought if go and fully build Noelle, or Navia
No need, just put him anywhere and he'll work. There is no need to give directions where every direction is correct. Except for some dumb teams like trying to play him with Gorou, Faruzan or similar niche support that does nothing for him. But if you want to maximise his dmg then I guess Ayato, Furina, Yunjin, Jean. The rotation would probably be: Ayato Q Furina EQ, Yunjin EQ, Jean EQ, Ayato HoldN, Ayato ER 140, Furina ER 200 , Yunjin ER 200, Jean ER 200 (if you use 3 favs you'll have a good time) (disclaimer, take this with grain of salt, i am not theorycrafter just random person with some experience with ayato)
Okay, I have a big desbelief is someone says that "Navia is probably the best geo unit" because that is straight up a bold lie lmao. I get it that people want her to work, they want her to be good, is just that she is neither flexible nor stronger than what a Noelle or a Itto can do in their dedicated teams. Let's just hope that Chiori actually fixes things...
@@sivasankars808 She is not useless, I never said that. If saying that she is useless before realeasing is dumb, then saying she is "the best geo unite" before realeasing is equally dumb.
She would be the geo best unit over multiple teams than others, maybe not against Noelle, but they work together well enough. Itto is just glued to mono geo and will stay there for as long as Gorou is only def buffer. Noelle is stuck with hydro and geo, either double geo double hydro, mono geo with Furina, or mono hydro with Furina. Otherwise, she is back to hyperbloom. Navia on other hand would be in Navia national, a hypercarry with Furina, a double hydro, a double pyro, a double cryo, a mono geo in quickswap, or in Wet Rock. She is the Ayato of geo. It's literally that. Both with a quickswappable presence of E, a prolonged elemental application in AoE of Q, and versatile but not the best. Ayato however has a better element, lesser restrictions, and most of his sub dps is throughout multiple attacks while Navia does through a burst of her skill. And Navia's elemental resonance helps her more than Ayato's helps him.
Great video. I probably will still get Albedo over her because he fits better on Noelle Hyper Geo but I think in general she is a better pull than him. His Burst really should have been DEF scaling...
