Genshin Impact’s Version 4.3 update is shaping up to be an exciting one, with exciting new content and two powerful new characters to pull for: Navia and Ayaka. But with two tempting options vying for your Primogems, the question remains: who should you pull for?
Genshin Impact 4.3: Pulling for Ayaka or Navia
Ayaka: The Cryo Sword Virtuoso
Ayaka, the 5-star Cryo swordswoman, reigns as one of Genshin Impact’s top damage dealers. Her versatility and powerful kit make her a popular choice.
A major advantage is her build efficiency. Both her team composition and weapon options are budget-friendly. You can assemble a potent team with Anemo Traveler, Ayaka, Barbara, and Kaeya, and the craftable Amenoma Kageuchi is a fantastic 4-star weapon for her.
However, Ayaka also has her demons. Her damage peak hinges heavily on her Elemental Burst, and missing it significantly reduces her output. Additionally, her high-cost Burst necessitates investment in Energy Recharge substats.
Navia: The Geo Claymore Comet
Navia, the 5-star Geo queen, wields a claymore with devastating force. Even under the demanding title of Spina di Rosula president, she’s a battlefield beast. Her passive skill is a DPS dream, amplifying her ATK by 20% for each Pyro, Electro, Cryo, and Hydro teammate (up to two stacks).
Another perk: her Elemental Skill imbues her attacks with Geo, which persists even after using another Elemental Skill. This means she can rock alongside a Constellation 6 Bennett, whose Pyro infusion wouldn’t overwrite her Geo damage.
However, Navia’s potential downside is her damage-focused nature. She currently lacks the versatility to perform other roles effectively. Additionally, her full kit showcase revealed her abilities, but not the crucial scaling numbers for her talents. This lack of complete information might give some players pause.
So, Who Should You Pull For?
Both Navia and Ayaka are excellent damage dealers, each with their strengths and drawbacks. Ultimately, the choice depends on your priorities and preferences.
- If you value reliability and budget-friendly options, Ayaka remains a top contender. Her established build and consistent performance make her a safe choice for any team.
- If you crave high damage potential and enjoy building diverse teams, Navia could be your diamond in the rough. Her unique mechanics and synergy with different elements offer exciting possibilities.
No matter your choice, both Ayaka and Navia are valuable additions to any Genshin Impact team. Weigh their strengths and weaknesses, follow your heart (and gacha luck!), and prepare to unleash their destructive dance upon Teyvat’s enemies.
