Navia is a 5★ Geo Claymore character whose kit centers on Crystallize reactions. She plays as an on-field Geo DPS (“Claymore conductor”), often in Cystallize teams. Her Elemental Skill generates Crystal Shrapnel on each hit, each stack boosting her next Skill burst. Notably, Navia’s kit rewards having other Hydro/Cryo/Electro/Pyro characters in the party: her A4 passive grants +20% ATK per each non-Dendro/Anemo element in the team (up to 40%). In practice, you build Navia as a high-damage DPS who quickly consumes her crystal stacks. She’s a skill-centric Geo DPS, meant to stay on-field the whole fight.
