do you think that two piece golden troupe two piece gilded dreams will work

Anonymous 39

Yea, Nahida’s weapon is good with Gilded since you can go att% on goblet sands and Sub DPS builds (Fischl beats it barely at c4). Only situation it’s bad in is Yae hyper with Benny, Sara, flex/battery. Just remember her turrets proc aggravate every three hits.

Anonymous 38

She should be an S DPS after Dendro tbh.

Anonymous 37

Would nahida's weapon be any good for miko if someone were to accidentally pull one without nahida?
