Nefer Build Guide Infographic
Nefer's Strengths & Weaknesses
Extremely powerful Main DPS, focusing more on personal damage as opposed to reaction damage like most Dendro characters.
Great future potential with room to grow further as more Nod-Krai supports are released.
Enables Lunar-Bloom for the party and buffs based on Elemental Mastery.
While Lauma isn't necessarily required, she is still a large portion of Nefer's overall potential.
A second Nod-Krai character however is absolutely required due to the effects of Ascendant Gleam being such a huge part of Nefer's kit.
Most Dendro Cores generated are converted into Seeds of Deceit which cannot trigger Hyperbloom and Burgeon reactions or Nilou Bloom's cores.

Nefer's Talents
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. When in the Shadow Dance state, additional Stamina consumption is decreased.
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.
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, which will not consume Stamina. When in the Shadow Dance state, Nefer's resistance to interruption is increased.
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."
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.
Nefer's Ascension Passive Talents
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 by nearby characters 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.
When Nefer is in the Shadow Dance state, if she enters the Slither state within 5s of a party member triggering a Lunar-Bloom reaction, she will continuously regenerate Verdant Dew. Every 100 points of Nefer's Elemental Mastery beyond 500 will strengthen this regeneration effect by 10%, up to a maximum of 50%.
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...
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.
Nefer's Constellations
The Base DMG for Lunar-Bloom reactions caused by Nefer's Phantasm Performance is increased by 60% of her Elemental Mastery. This effect is also boosted by Veil of Falsehood.
Enhances the effects of the Ascension Talent A Wager of Moonlight: Extends Veil of Falsehood's duration by 5s, and increases its stack limit to 5, as well as causing Phantasm Performance to deal up to 140% of its original DMG. When Nefer unleashes her Elemental Skill, she will instantly gain 2 stacks of Veil of Falsehood. Additionally, when Veil of Falsehood gains 5 stacks, or when the fifth stack's duration is refreshed, Nefer's Elemental Mastery will be increased by 200 for 8s instead.
You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "A Wager of Moonlight."
Increases the Level of Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When Nefer is on the field and in the Shadow Dance state, you will gain Verdant Dew 25% faster.
Additionally, while Nefer is in the Shadow Dance state, nearby opponents will have their Dendro RES decreased by 20%. This effect will be removed when Nefer exits the Shadow Dance state or after she strays a certain distance away from the opponents for 4.5s.
Increases the Level of Sacred Vow: True Eye's Phantasm by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When Nefer unleashes Phantasm Performance, the second stage of DMG dealt by herself will be converted to deal AoE Dendro DMG equal to 85% of her Elemental Mastery. Additionally, when the attacks from Phantasm Performance end, an extra instance of AoE Dendro DMG equal to 120% of Nefer's Elemental Mastery will be dealt. All of the aforementioned DMG is considered Lunar-Bloom DMG dealt by Phantasm Performance.
Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam
Nefer's Lunar-Bloom DMG is elevated by 15%.
