Best Teams for Nefer
Nefer Works Best In Lunar-Bloom Teams
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| ▼ Premium Lunar-Bloom Team | ★★★★★ - With Lauma shredding Dendro and Hydro, Lunar-Bloom can deal more damage with Nefer as the On-Fielder. - Nahida buffs EM and holds Deepwood to further shred Dendro. - Aino is the sole source of Hydro and can hold another EM increasing set like Instructor. |
| ▼ F2P Lunar-Bloom Team | ★★★・・ - Even without Lauma, Lunar-Bloom can still be used as F2P since Nefer also enables the reaction. - Since Aino is free, she can be used to activate Ascendant Gleam. - F2P characters for Dendro and Hydro scale on EM and HP allowing them to buff the Lunar Reactions. |
| ▼ Hyperbloom Team | ★・・・・ - A team choice if you have no Lauma. Nefer acts as a driver for the Hyperbloom reaction instead. - Will often result in you not pairing her with any other Nod-Krai character to deactivate her passive that turns Dendro Cores into Seeds of Deceit, which goes against her intended design as a DPS. |
Nefer is a Hypercarry DPS that utilizes Lunar-Bloom to deal powerful Special Charged Attacks. While she can deal powerful Dendro attacks, it is reliant on Lunar-Bloom to happen meaning she cannot be used as an Aggravate DPS but she can be used in a Hyperbloom team.
Moonsign Ascendant is Important for Nefer's Lunar-Bloom Teams
Moonsign is a new mechanic introduced in Nod-Krai. Each Nod-Krai character increases it by 1 level and at the 2nd level, various buffs for Lunar Reactions will be activated. Ascendant Gleam allows Nefer to convert Dendro Cores/Bountiful Cores into Seeds of Deceit that she can use to buff her EM and her Elemental Burst.

|---|---|
Nefer | Reliquary Of Truth Night Of The Sky's Unveiling x4 Main EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Elemental Mastery |
Lauma | Nightweaver's Looking Glass Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery |

Aino (C6) | Flame-Forged Insight Instructor x4 Main Energy Recharge or EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. Elemental Mastery |
Aino is likely to need more Energy Recharge than usual since she's solo Hydro. She can also use Favonius Greatsword instead to ensure she can generate particles and gain more Energy.
Rotation Of Premium Lunar-Bloom Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Nahida. Use her Normal Attack into Burst. |
| 2 | Switch to Aino. Use her Skill into Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Nahida, then use her Skill. |
| 4 | Switch to Lauma and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 5 | Swap back into Aino to use her Skill. |
| 6 | Switch to Nefer to execute her Charged Attack combos. You will usually use her Skill first, then do Charged Attacks into a dash cancel. You'll do this process twice since she has two skill charges. End the combo by using her Elemental Burst. |
| 7 | Repeat from step 1 after you're done with Nefer's combo. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Nahida | SucroseKuki Shinobu | - Since Nahida's only utility in this team is her EM buff, any other character that can provide external sources of EM or buffs can be used as a substitute. - Ideally you'll want to a non-Nod Krai character to activate the additional Ascedant Gleam buffs. - Sucrose is the best choice since she provides an Elemental Mastery buff when either her Skill or Burst hits an enemy, and because she usually builds a lot of EM, her Ascendant Gleam buff will be substantial. - Shinobu is the more defensive-oriented option if you're finding trouble keeping Nefer alive. |
| Aino | KokomiFurina | - Aino's Hydro application has decent reach despite being stationary. - At C6, Aino becomes one of the best Off-Field Hydro applicator for Lunar Reaction teams, but she becomes more replaceable at C0 and if you have Lauma since you only need 1 other Nod-Krai character to activate Ascendant Gleam. - Kokomi's Elemental Skill can be used as alternative to Aino's Hydro Application, and it has the upside of providing healing. - Furina can be a choice for AoE Hydro application, but a Nefer team without a healer will be left at 50% HP, which can be a problem to deal with. |
| Lauma | AinoIneffa | - Lauma is Nefer's best pairing due to all the buffs she provides that Nefer can easily take full advantage off. Without her, Nefer's DPS is likely to see a drop in total output. - The best way to replace Lauma if you don't have her is with another Nod-Krai character. Aino will take on the role of Hydro applicator, while Ineffa can provide a shield, some EM buffs, and trigger a few Lunar-Charged hits every now and then. - In Aino's case, if you're replacing Lauma with her, you can fill Aino's prior slot with someone like Sucrose, Kokomi or Furina. |
While Lunar-Bloom is technically a Bloom team, Nilou is not recommended as a Support for Nefer since Nefer automatically converts all Dendro cores into Seeds of Deceit, therefore nullifying Nilou's Bountiful Blooms. At most, she'll serve as a Hydro source thanks to her Elemental Skill, but you're better off using other Off-Field Hydro supports.
Does Nefer Need Lauma?
Nefer reaches her highest DPS potential with Lauma, since Nefer makes the best use out of Lauma's Dendro RES shred, Lunar-Bloom damage buff, and additional Lunar-Bloom CRIT increases. As a result, Nefer's DPS with Lauma is enough to rival that of Varesa in her best Overload team.
However, Nefer can still produce decent results without Lauma so long as she has another Nod-Krai character on the team, since this'll activate Ascendant Gleam that lets Nefer convert Dendro Cores into Seeds of Deceit. A Nefer team without Lauma is enough to clear most endgame content apart from the Dire Difficulty of Stygian Onslaught, but obviously lags behind the top meta characters, such as Mavuika and Skirk.
| Point! | No Lauma? Options to Consider: - Pull for Lauma on her rerun since she's still her best teammate overall. If you aren't in a rush to get Nefer, it may be better to prioritize securing Lauma for her first. - Obtain Nefer's Signature Weapon or C1, since it both can provide about nearly the same damage buff as Lauma would provide. Aino is still required even with her Signature Weapon or C1. - Use Aino as your Off-Field Hydro source, since you need to activate Ascendant Gleam for Nefer to get Seeds of Deceit. Aino cons are nice to have but not required. - Use Ineffa with Nefer if you have both. Not as optimal but lets you activate Ascendant Gleam. - Wait for future characters that might have synergy with Nefer. |

F2P Lunar-Bloom Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Nefer | Blackmarrow Lantern Night Of The Sky's Unveiling x4 Main EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Elemental Mastery |
Dendro Traveler | Favonius Sword Deepwood Memories x4 Main Energy Recharge or EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. Elemental Mastery |
Barbara | Prototype Amber Instructor x4 Main HP% / HP% / Healing Bonus or HP% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP% |
Aino | Flame-Forged Insight Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. Elemental Mastery |
Barbara can be built on a pure HP build for healing since the Ascendant effect allows non-Moonsign character to buff Lunar Reactions. Hydro characters can buff it with their HP.
Rotation Of F2P Lunar-Bloom Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Aino. Use her Burst. |
| 2 | Switch to Dendro Traveler and use their Skill then Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Barbara and use her Skill. Make sure she triggers a Bloom reaction for Instructor effect. |
| 4 | Swap back into Aino to use her Skill. |
| 5 | Switch to Nefer to execute her Charged Attack combos. You will usually use her Skill first, then do Charged Attacks into a dash cancel. You'll do this process twice since she has two skill charges. End the combo by using her Elemental Burst. |
| 6 | Repeat from step 1 after you're done with Nefer's combo. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Dendro Traveler | NahidaCollei | - Nahida supplies a decent amount of EM with her Burst. - Collei is an okay alternative to Dendro Traveler but will need C4 for her EM buff. |
| Barbara | KokomiXingqiuYelanShinobu | - You can use Kokomi in place of Barbara if you happen to have her, which is an upgrade overall. It's best to pair her with another Hydro teammate for consistent application. - Alternatively, you can slot in Shinobu for sustain. - Yelan and Xingqiu require Nefer to weave in Normal Attacks ever so often, which takes more time to execute than her usual combo. |
| Aino | Ineffa | - Aino is needed for the Ascendant Gleam effect and allow Nefer to create Seeds of Deceit, She shouldn't be replaced if you have no Lauma. - If you do have Ineffa, she can activate the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign Level, though you might need a better Hydro source than Barbara in multi-target content. |
Hyperbloom Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Nefer | Reliquary Of Truth Any EM set x2 Any EM set x2 Main EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Elemental Mastery |
Nahida | A Thousand Floating Dreams Deepwood Memories x4 Main EM / Dendro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. Elemental Mastery |
Furina | Splendor Of Tranquil Waters └ If you're having trouble charging Furina's Burst every rotation, you can try equipping Fleuve Cendre Ferryman, Favonius Sword or Festering Desire instead. Golden Troupe x4Main HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP% |
Shinobu | Xiphos' Moonlight Flower Of Paradise Lost x4 Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Elemental Mastery |
A Hyperbloom team with Nefer can be an option if you don't have Lauma. In this team, Nefer doesn't have a 2nd Moonsign partner, so any Dendro Cores generated won't be converted into Seeds of Deceit. Seeds cannot be turned into Hyperblooms through Electro, so in a proper Hyperbloom team, Nefer is simply going to fulfill the role of a driver. Furina is preferred instead of Aino for this reason.
This team doesn't make full usage of Nefer's abilities, and the damage is limited to the current potential of Hyperbloom as a reaction, which is on the lower end of the current meta In this case, Nefer can still equip a combination of 2-piece Elemental Mastery sets to at least have her Skill and Burst contribute some DPS, though overall it won't be nearly as good as her Lunar-Bloom teams.

Substitute Characters

|---|---|---|
| Nahida | BaizhuDendro TravelerColleiYaoyao | - Baizhu is the preferred replacement to Nahida since he is able to buff Hyperbloom. - Dendro Traveler and Collei can be used as alternative for Dendro Sub-DPS. - Yaoyao can be used if you want more healing if Shinobu's healing isn't enough to offset Furina's HP drain. |
| Furina | YelanXingqiuKokomi | - Kokomi can use Sacrificial Fragments to refresh her Elemental Skill for Off-Field Hydro Application. - Yelan and Xingqiu requires Nefer to weave in Normal Attacks between Charged Attack usages, which can be a little more time-consuming. |
| Kuki Shinobu | Raiden Shogun | - Raiden Shogun can be used as Hyperbloom Sub-DPS and hold an EM polearm for more Hyperbloom damage. |
