If you were lucky enough to pull for Navia in Genshin Impact, your job is not done yet as there’s still a whole new set to farm for and, of course, a new weapon you’ll have to level. Aside from her trusty gunbrella, the girl also spins a huge claymore around, and here are her best choices in Genshin Impact.
Best Greatswords for Navia in Genshin Impact
Navia scales mainly with Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and Attack, so look out for weapons with those substats when picking one for her. She rarely struggles with Energy, so ER% stats are not desirable for her in any situation.
1 – Verdict
Her signature weapon and the best one you can give her, by far. It has extra Critical Rate, which helps immensely with her stat needs and lets her focus on more Crit DMG. Since it was made for her, the passive will always be active and gives her an ever bigger bursting potential. Unfortunately, it’s Gacha-locked and only available whenever she’s on the banners, so you’ll need some luck for that.
2 – Beacon of the Reed Sea
Similar to Verdict, but Dehya’s signature weapon hasn’t returned since its debut. If you happen to have it and it’s not using it on anyone at the moment, Navia will be more than happy to use it. It has some good Critical Rate stats and a great passive for her. Note that the second portion of the passive won’t activate if you’re protected by shields.
3 – Wolf’s Gravestone
The good ‘n old Standard Banner 5-star Claymore rarely disappoints. While it doesn’t give any Critical stats to its user, its sheer Atk% bonus more than makes up for it, even if you don’t trigger its passive. It’s a good option if you don’t care about aesthetics or aren’t using it on your Diluc anymore.
4 – Serpent Spine
With the only downsides being having a relatively lower base ATK and being locked to the Battle Pass, Serpent Spine is an excellent choice. It synergizes even better with Navia as she’s usually protected by some Crystallize shield. If you want to maximize its uptime, bring another shielder on the team like Zhongli (who’ll also help with creating more Crystallize shards for her passive).
5 – Prototype Archaic
Highly accessible and easy to refine, Prototype Archaic is a standard choice for Navia as one of the best F2P Claymores. While its passive isn’t anything special, it can fit for a while before you can get Navia a 5-star Weapon, if that’s your eventual goal.
6 – “Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword”
Available through theRoses and Musketsevent, this Claymore can give Navia huge ATK% buffs if you complete enough Melusine quests, and it’s the only exception to the “avoid ER%” rule thanks to it. They’re quite easy and some of them are required to unlock some new areas in Fontaine, so you’ll end up doing them sooner or later. It has a better performance than most other 4-star options, but it’s unfortunately event-locked.
Honorable Mentions
Luxurious Sea-Lordcan work as an okay stat stick since its passive isn’t that great on Navia. The same can be said about other Claymores likeAkuoumaru.Talking Stickis a niche pick, and since it’s also locked to a Battle Pass, it’ll be better to choose Serpent Spine instead.
Unforgedis actually decent on her and has a stronger buff than Wolf’s Gravestone when shielded, but it’ll be wiser to save for her own weapon instead of rolling for it (unless you happen to have it on your inventory).Redhorn Stonethresheris the same, but it has a lower base ATK.
There might be new options for Navia in the future, but these are currently the best ones in the game, so choose whichever fits your playstyle (and financial conditions) the best. Remember thatreruns will always happen, so don’t worry if you don’t get her Signature right away.
