Nefer, a 5-star Dendro catalyst user from Nod Krai, is set to shine as a main DPS with a focus on Bloom reactions in Genshin Impact 6.1. According to leaks, she’s got a unique playstyle that tweaks elemental reactions for big damage. In the official preview, she’s seen chatting with Varka, hinting at her story role. One of her talents, similar to Lauma’s, turns party members’ elemental reactions into Lunar-Bloom reactions. These don’t make Dendro Cores but give Nefer Moonsign stacks instead. Her Elemental Skill uses Verdant Dew and Shadow Dance to power up a beefy Enhanced Charged Attack that deals Lunar-Bloom damage, making her a strong pick for players looking for Dendro DPS characters.
Nefer's Weapon
Reliquary of Truth
- ATK: 542
- Bonus: +88.2% CRIT DMG
- Effect: Boosts CRIT Rate by 8% / 10% / 12% / 14% / 16%. When the character uses their Elemental Skill, they get the Secret of Lies effect, bumping Elemental Mastery by 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 for 12 seconds. Dealing Lunar-Bloom damage grants the Moon of Truth effect, increasing CRIT DMG by 24% / 30% / 36% / 42% / 48% for 4 seconds. If both effects are active, they get a 50% boost, perfect for Genshin Impact catalyst weapons.
Nefer's Kit
Normal Attack
Nefer throws out up to four Dendro-damage kicks, blending speed and precision like a snake striking its prey.
Charged Attack
She slips into the Slither state, burning Stamina to dash forward for up to 2.5 seconds. When you let go of the skill button, run out of Stamina, or the timer ends, she exits the state, using extra Stamina to deal Dendro damage to enemies. Using her Elemental Skill (Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights) or sprinting keeps her in this state, offering smooth mobility for Dendro character builds.
Plunging Attack
Nefer channels Dendro power, crashing down from the air to deal AoE Dendro damage on impact, hitting all enemies in her path.
Elemental Skill: Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights
Nefer performs a deadly dance, dealing AoE Dendro damage and entering the Shadow Dance state. With at least one Verdant Dew, her Charged Attacks become Phantasm Performance, a special attack that maximizes her Bloom reaction damage.
Elemental Burst: Thoth’s Whisper
Nefer unleashes AoE Dendro damage, consuming all Veils of Falsehood to amp up the burst’s damage. Each Veil stack boosts Phantasm Performance damage by 10%, with up to three stacks lasting nine seconds each. This makes her a powerhouse for Genshin Impact team compositions focused on reactions.
Passive Talents
A Wager of Moonlight
Based on the party’s Moonsign, Nefer gets buffs. With Moonsign-Ascendant Gleam, her Elemental Skill converts Dendro Cores and Bountiful Cores into Seeds of Deceit for 15 seconds. These seeds don’t trigger Hyperbloom or Burgeon but can be absorbed during Charged Attacks or Phantasm Performance, granting Veil of Falsehood stacks. At three stacks, her Elemental Mastery jumps by 100 for 8 seconds, enhancing her Dendro DPS potential.
Daughter of the Dust and Sand
For every point of Elemental Mastery over 500, Nefer’s Attack increases by 0.4, up to a max of 200 Attack, making her a versatile pick for Genshin Impact artifacts.
Moonsign Benediction: Dusklit Eaves
Bloom reactions from party members become Lunar-Bloom reactions, with Nefer’s Elemental Mastery boosting their base damage by 0.0175% per point, up to 14%. She also raises the party’s Moonsign level by 1, great for Bloom team synergy.
Conspiracy of the Golden Vault
Nefer earns 25% more rewards on 20-hour Nod-Krai expeditions. As head of the Curatorium of Secrets, she gathers intel that could interest Nasha Town factions, adding lore depth to her Genshin Impact character design.
Constellations
C1: Planning Breeds Success
Lunar-Bloom damage from Phantasm Performance gets a 60% boost based on Nefer’s Elemental Mastery, further enhanced by Veil of Falsehood.
C2: Observation Feeds Strategy
Extends Veil of Falsehood’s duration by 5 seconds and raises its stack limit to five, boosting Phantasm Performance damage by up to 150%. Her Elemental Skill instantly grants two stacks, and at five stacks, Elemental Mastery increases by 200 for 8 seconds. Requires A Wager of Moonlight.
C3: Deceit Cloaks the Truth
Ups Elemental Skill level by 3, maxing at 15, strengthening her Dendro skill rotations.
C4: Delusion Ensnares Reason
In Shadow Dance, Nefer gains Verdant Dew 25% faster, and nearby enemies lose 20% Dendro resistance. The resistance debuff fades if she exits the state or moves too far for 4.5 seconds.
C5: Opportunity Hides in the Margins
Boosts Elemental Burst level by 3, up to 15, amplifying her AoE Dendro damage.
C6: Victory Flows from the Turning of Tides
Phantasm Performance’s second damage stage becomes AoE Dendro damage (85% of Elemental Mastery), with an extra AoE hit (120% of Elemental Mastery) at the end, all counted as Lunar-Bloom damage. Moonsign-Ascendant Gleam boosts Lunar-Bloom damage by 15%.
Conclusion
Nefer’s got it all: crowd control immunity, self-healing, AoE damage, and no rigid team requirements. That’s the recipe for a top-tier Genshin Impact 5-star character. The last character with this kind of flexibility was a meta monster, so Nefer’s potential hinges on her numbers—interruption resistance and damage multipliers. If they’re strong, she could rival Neuvillette (T0) and easily hit T1, making her a must-pull for Genshin Impact meta fans.
