  1. Too early to say

Nefer's best weapon is as expected her signature, Reliquary of Truth, and as of the time of writing has a noteable lead over other options. With event weapons and the Nod-Krai craftable, Blackmarrow Lantern being the next best options.

Build Nefer with Night of the Sky's Unveiling as her artifact build option. With a heavy focus on EM and CRIT Rate however as always with pre-farming information can change with time.

Nefer Ascension Passives and Materials

Ascension Passive Explanation
A Wager of Moonlight

Nefer will be granted the corresponding buff effects based on the party's Moonsign.

Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam

When she unleashes her Elemental Skill Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights, any Dendro Cores and Bountiful Cores on the field will be converted to Seeds of Deceit, and any Lunar-Bloom reactions triggered in the following 15s that would create Dendro Cores or Bountiful Cores will instead create Seeds of Deceit. Seeds of Deceit cannot trigger Hyperbloom or Burgeon reactions and will not burst.

When Nefer unleashes a Charged Attack or Phantasm Performance, she can absorb Seeds of Deceit within a certain range, gaining 1 stack of Veil of Falsehood for every seed absorbed. When this effect gains 3 stacks, or when the third stack's duration is refreshed, Nefer's Elemental Mastery will be increased by 100 for 8s.

Daughter of the Dust and Sand

Each point of Nefer's Elemental Mastery beyond 500 will increase her ATK by 0.4. A maximum of 200 ATK can be gained in this manner.

Moonsign Benediction: Dusklit Eaves

When a party member triggers a Bloom reaction, it will be converted into the Lunar-Bloom reaction, with every point of Elemental Mastery that Nefer has increasing Lunar-Bloom's Base DMG by 0.0175%, up to a maximum of 14%.

Additionally, when Nefer is in the party, the party's Moonsign will increase by 1 level.

Conspiracy of the Golden Vault

Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Nod-Krai Expedition for 20 hours.

Additionally, as the head of the Curatorium of Secrets, Nefer seemingly has the ability to obtain intelligence from a variety of sources — intelligence that certain factions in Nasha Town might find extremely interesting...

Nefer's Talents

Type Talent Name Brief Explanation
Normal Striking Serpent

Normal Attack

Performs up to 4 kicks that deal Dendro DMG with the ferocity and grace of a striking serpent.

Charged Attack

Nefer enters the Slither state, consuming Stamina to move rapidly forward for up to 2.5s. When the skill button is released, the duration ends, or Stamina runs out, Nefer will exit the Slither state and consume a certain amount of additional Stamina to deal Dendro DMG to opponents.

Additionally, unleashing the Elemental Skill Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights or sprinting while Nefer is in the Slither state will not cause her to exit the state.

Plunging Attack

Calling upon the might of Dendro, Nefer plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path and dealing AoE Dendro DMG upon impact with the ground.

Elemental Skill Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights

A dance that dissolved dynasties, as chilling as a winter's night on the great sea of sand, yet lingering with the tenderness of moonlit gauze. Nefer charges forward, dealing AoE Dendro DMG and entering the Shadow Dance state.

While in the Shadow Dance state, if you have at least 1 Verdant Dew, Nefer's Charged Attacks will be replaced with the special Charged Attack Phantasm Performance.

Has 2 initial usages.

"The world is a game in which the pieces remain hidden behind a veil. To avoid falling into a trap, one must collect every piece of information one can. This is the meaning of secrets."

Elemental Burst Sacred Vow: True Eye's Phantasm

Grant "revelation" to the mysteries of the false through Thoth's true sight, dealing AoE Dendro DMG to opponents ahead. When unleashed, Nefer will consume all Veils of Falsehood to increase the DMG dealt by the current Elemental Burst.

"The blessings of the Ibis King proclaimed by the singers of the burning sands are, in truth, more akin to dire curses."
