Navia is a new 5-star Geo character to be added with Version 4.3. The character had already been previously introduced as an NPC throughout the course of the Archon Quests that take place in Fontaine but is not being added as a playable character with the release of Genshin Impact 4.3. Navia is the president of the Spina di Rosula, a welfare institution in the Nation of Justice that occasionally operates as an investigative unit whenever the local Gardes do not handle such a task.
She uses a claymore in battle and excels at triggering Crystallize reactions, which, in turn, amplifies the power of her attacks. Before being able to put her to good use, however, you will need to ascend and increase Navia’s level to 90, so that the build around her is at its maximum potential. This will require some farming around Fontaine.
The first set of materials you will need to farm to Ascend Navia is the Geo-based elemental stones, Prithiva Topaz.
Because of how demanding characters get as they gradually level up, you will need some Prithiva Topaz Slivers, Fragments, Chunks, and Gemstones. These can be gathered as rewards from various activities and events but can be farmed from opponents that work with Geo. This includes the Geo Hypostasis and Primo Geovishap in Liyue, the Golden Wolflord and Perpetual Mechanical Array in Inazuma, and the weekly boss Azhdaha in Genshin Impact. You can also buy some from the Souvenir Shop and use Alchemy to transform other stones into Prithiva Topaz. Of course, you can buy a Genshin impact account directly with those materials.
Other materials for Navia are part of the Transoceanic Pearl family. Transoceanic Pearl, Transoceanic Chunk, and Xenochromatic Crystal can be obtained from Fontemer Aberrants spread across the region of Fontaine.
This includes creatures above ground and underwater. Some examples are the Armored Crabs and Blubberbeasts that can be found on beaches, or Bubbler Seahorses and Hunter’s Ray that swim in the underwater sections of Genshin Impact. Like the elemental stones, this is an item family with increasing rarities that will need to be transformed to attend to the needs imposed by Ascension. You should farm a surplus of these items, as they will also be used for Navia’s Talents.
Like any other character undergoing Ascension, Navia requires a Local Specialty. In this case, you must farm Spring of the First Dewdrop. This item can only be acquired in Fontaine. To be more specific, it is located mostly underwater in the Morte Region. There are currently 75 clusters to be collected. This means that you will need to run the entire farming route a little over two times to get all the 168 required for Navia’s complete Ascension, which will unlock the ability to get her to level 90 in Genshin Impact. This item is not part of a family with varying rarities.
The last item you will need to farm in order to fully Ascend Navia is Artificed Spare Clockwork Component – Coppelius.
These are drops from the Icewind Suite: Nemesis of Coppelius boss fight. You should be wary that this boss has two distinct forms, and only the aforementioned one drops the necessary material to push Navia to level 90.
In addition to the materials per si, you will also need a good amount of Mora to get through the Ascension thresholds and fueling leveling with Character EXP materials. Not too much is needed, especially when compared to how much is consumed by Navia’s Talents, but it may be lacking. In case you need more Mora in Genshin Impact, you can farm Ley Line Outcrop - Blossom of Wealth. Simply initiate the challenge and continue to follow the path until it is exhausted.
The process of Ascending and leveling both Navia is a time-consuming one, especially considering how much farming you need to do. Nevertheless, this is one of the best ways of unlocking her native potential as a Geo DPS on the field, which can be a great alternative for those who do not want to use Arataki Itto and his somewhat complicated DEF-based build in Genshin Impact.
