Many Genshin Impact characters are known for their utility in and out of battle. For instance, Klee, Qiqi, Gorou, and Tighnari will mark the locations of their respective regions' local specialties in the mini-map. Venti’s Elemental Skill can turn into a wind current to reach stubbornly-high places. Kazuha’s Elemental Skill can be used to propel yourself upward to make high climbs feel less stressful. The Dendro Archon, Nahida, isn’t a stranger to the utility game, either—her Elemental Skill can do more than meets the eye.
How to use Nahida’s Elemental Skill in Genshin Impact
Battle
You can activate Nahida’s Elemental Skill by tapping or holding. Bytappingit, she’ll deal AoE Dendro Damage and mark up to eight opponents with the Seed of Skandha. Meanwhile,holdingthe skill allows you to target up to eight enemies to mark with the Seed of Skandha. She will deal the same AoE Dendro Damage upon release. We recommend tapping when enemies are grouped together within range and holding when they’re further away.
All enemies marked with the Seed of Skandha within proximity will be linked to each other. When these linked enemies are hit with an Elemental Reaction or Dendro Cores, Nahida will unleash Tri-Karma Purification, which deals Dendro Damage that scales off her Attack and Elemental Mastery. You can only trigger the effect once at a time.
