Nahida's Energy Recharge (ER) requirements vary significantly depending on her team composition and whether she is played Off-Field or On-Field. Generally, her ER needs range from 100% to 160% to ensure smooth rotation and consistent Elemental Burst uptime.
Understanding Nahida's Energy Recharge Needs
Nahida's Elemental Burst, "Illusory Heart," is crucial for her damage amplification and Elemental Mastery buffing capabilities. To ensure it's always ready off cooldown, optimizing her Energy Recharge is essential. The exact amount of ER required is not a fixed number but depends on several factors:
- Team Composition: The number of other Dendro characters in the team directly impacts Dendro particle generation.
- On-Field vs. Off-Field Playstyle: If Nahida is on-field, she generates more particles for herself, reducing her ER needs. When off-field, she relies more on team particle generation or higher ER stats.
- Weapon and Artifact Substats: Favonius weapons on other characters can significantly reduce ER requirements.
To help you determine the optimal ER for your Nahida build, refer to the detailed breakdown below:
Nahida ER Requirement Table
The following table outlines Nahena's recommended Energy Recharge percentages for various popular team archetypes:
| Team Composition | Nahida Playstyle | Recommended Energy Recharge (ER) |
|---|---|---|
| Double Dendro | Off-Field | 120–140% |
| On-Field | 110–130% | |
| Nilou Bloom | On-Field (Solo Dendro) | 120–140% |
| Hyperbloom | Off-Field | 130–140% |
| On-Field | 100–120% | |
| Burgeon | Off-Field | 140–160% |
| On-Field | 130–140% |
- Double Dendro: When paired with another Dendro character (like Alhaitham, Kaveh, or Dendro Traveler), particle generation is more abundant, leading to lower ER requirements for Nahida.
- Nilou Bloom (Solo Dendro): In Nilou Bloom teams, Nahida often acts as the sole Dendro applicator and driver, requiring a moderate amount of ER to consistently burst.
- Hyperbloom: Depending on whether Nahida is the primary on-field driver or an off-field applicator, her ER needs can vary. Off-field Hyperbloom scenarios generally demand more ER.
- Burgeon: Burgeon teams often involve more complex rotations and may have fewer consistent particle generators, pushing Nahida's ER needs to the higher end, especially when off-field.
Practical Tips for Managing Nahida's ER
- Prioritize Elemental Mastery (EM): While ER is important, Nahida's primary stat priority for damage and buffs is Elemental Mastery. Aim to hit ER thresholds while still maximizing EM from artifacts.
- Team Energy Generation: Consider if other characters in your team are equipped with Favonius weapons or generate significant elemental particles. This can drastically lower Nahida's personal ER needs.
- Artifact Substats: Look for ER substats on artifacts after securing sufficient Elemental Mastery and desired crit stats (if building for damage).
- Weapons: Some weapons, like Sacrificial Fragments or A Thousand Floating Dreams, provide valuable Elemental Mastery, but few catalysts offer ER directly as a main stat. Relying on artifact substats is common.
- Experimentation: The exact ER requirement can also depend on your rotation comfort and enemy types. Don't hesitate to experiment in game to find what works best for your specific team and playstyle.
