Nefer's entire damage structure is designed around amplifying reaction damage.Her best DPS talents and core passive abilities feature significantscaling based on her Elemental Mastery stat. This singular focus elevates EM far above other conventionaldamage stats like Attack or even Crit Value in terms of overall impacton her kit.
The strategy for building Nefer is clear: stack EM to the absolute maximum, utilizing supporting weapons and artifacts to supplement her Criticalstats.
| Stat Slot | Primary Stat Goal | Justification |
| Timepiece | Elemental Mastery | Highest priority stat for all reaction damage scaling. |
| Goblet | Elemental Mastery | Direct scaling for Lunar Bloom and overall Dendro reactions. |
| Circlet | Elemental Mastery or Crit DMG | EM is preferred, but Crit DMG can be taken if EM is already very high (near 1000) and Crit Rate is secured. |
| Substats Priority | Elemental Mastery > Crit DMG > Crit Rate | EM is king; Crit stats are crucial secondary amplification. |
The ultimate goal for Nefer is to push her Elemental Mastery value as close to 1000 as possible before focusing heavily on Critical Damage.
Nefer's kit integrates so tightly with a specific artifact set that it is essentially a requirement for her optimized build.
| Artifact Set | Set Effect | Why It's Essential for Nefer |
| Night of the Sky's Unveiling | 2-Piece: +80 Elemental Mastery | Provides a simple, vital boost to her most important stat. |
| 4-Piece: Massively increases Crit Rate (up to 30%); increases Lunar Bloom reaction DMG. | This is the crucial effect. The 30% Crit Rate makes stacking Crit DMGsignificantly easier, while the direct boost to Lunar Bloom DMG isindispensable. Losing this set means losing a large portion of her DPS. |
This set’s 4-piece bonus single-handedly solves Nefer's Crit Rate needswhile simultaneously amplifying her signature reaction damage, making it the perfect foundation for her highly-specialized stats.
Nefer has several excellent weapon options, ranging from her dedicatedsignature Catalyst to highly effective 4-star and free-to-play options.
| Weapon Name | Rarity | Why It’s the Best Choice |
| Reliquary of Truth | 5-Star | Signature Weapon (Best-in-Slot). It provides a massive amount of Elemental Mastery from its passive, a high amount of Crit DMG from its substat, and a decent Crit Rate increase. Its effects perfectly synchronize with her Lunar Bloom reaction build. |
| Nightweaver's Looking Glass | 5-Star | A top-tier alternative offering a huge boost to Elemental Mastery and further increasing the damage of all her Lunar Bloom reactions. A stellar choice if you have it available. |
| Dawning Frost | 4-Star | Excellent 4-Star Option. Because Nefer frequently uses her Charged Attack after her ElementalSkill, this weapon grants her Elemental Mastery increases upon usingeither of those moves. The Crit DMG substat further enhances its value. |
| Sacrificial Fragments | 4-Star | A great utility option, granting a solid chunk of Elemental Mastery from its substat while offering the valuable utility of a chance to reset her Elemental Skill cooldown for more frequent Lunar Bloom setups. |
| Blackmarrow Lantern | 4-Star | Best Free-to-Play Option. Offers a decent increase to Elemental Mastery and a percentage boost to her Lunar Bloom DMG, making it an effective choice without requiring the premium banner. |
| The Widsith | 4-Star | This is a high-risk, high-reward option. Its Crit DMG substat is always useful, but its true potential is unlocked only by hitting the Interlude passive effect, which grants a whopping 480 Elemental Mastery for abrief window. During that 10-second buff, it rivals 5-star options, butthe other two randomized buffs are much less valuable for Nefer. |
Nefer’s constellations provide strong, linear enhancements to her damagescaling and overall battlefield utility, making them highly impactfulupgrades for dedicated players.
| Constellation | Name | Primary Effect & Importance |
| C1 | Planning Breeds Success | High Priority. Significantly increases the Base DMG of Lunar-Bloom reactions triggered by her abilities by a percentage of her Elemental Mastery. Thisprovides a direct, unconditional damage boost tied to her core stat. |
| C2 | Observation Feeds Strategy | High Priority. Greatly enhances her Ascension Talent by extending the duration andstack limit of her core buff, while also increasing her ability damageand providing a massive +200 Elemental Mastery buff for 8 seconds upon reaching max stacks. This is a huge EM spike. |
| C4 | Delusion Ensnares Reason | High Priority. Improves the generation rate of a key resource (Verdant Dew) and, critically, applies a 20% Dendro RES decrease to nearby enemies while Nefer is in her enhanced state. This amplifies the Dendro damage dealt by Nefer and her entire team. |
| C6 | Victory Flows from the Turning of Tides | Highest Priority (Game Changer). Grants a second stage of damage during her main ability, converting it to powerful AoE Dendro DMG that scales with her Elemental Mastery. It also adds an extra instanceof AoE Dendro DMG when the ability finishes, providing a massive finalburst of Lunar-Bloom damage. |
Nefer is an exciting and complex character whose ultimate potential is unleashed by embracing the power of Elemental Mastery. By using the Night of the Sky's Unveiling set and prioritizing EM in her main stats, you’ll turn her into areaction-damage powerhouse capable of transforming the battlefield withdevastating Lunar Blooms.
