At the moment,Nahida is a quest-exclusive NPCwho plays a major role in the Sumeru quest line. She is the new Dendro Archon who serves as the main protector of the new major region. One of the most popularGenshin Impactleakers named Ubacha1 has posted a video showing Nahida’s elemental skill in action. Her elemental skill has a press and a hold variation which have different effects. Tapping her elemental skill will cause Nahida to deal AoE damage and mark her opponents with an effect called Seed of Sandha. This effect will cause marked enemies to be linked to one another.
After players triggerDendro elemental reactionsto the linked enemies, Nahida will unleash another effect named Tri-Karma Purification dealing Dendro damage based on her Attack and Elemental Mastery to all linked opponents. Holding her elemental skill will cause Nahida to enter Aiming Mode in which players can select a limited number of opponents, deal Dendro damage to them, and mark them with the Seed of Skandha effect. This mode can last up to five seconds and players are allowed to select eight different enemies.
Another popular leaker named Sagiri has posted Nahida’s elemental burst animation which caught even more attention in the community. Players claim that Nahida’s elemental burst has one of the largest areas of effects in the game as it can take up the whole Spiral Abyss stage.
