Weapons

1
Reliquary of Truth
Reliquary of Truth

CRIT DMG

Signature-tier: high base ATK and CRIT Rate substat, plus a passive that stacks Elemental Mastery and Elemental Burst DMG each time a Seed of Deceit is consumed. Matches her Burst-centric window exactly.

2
Nocturne's Curtain Call
Nocturne's Curtain Call

CRIT DMG

Refunds energy after Elemental Burst, smoothing rotations; the CRIT DMG substat and Burst DMG passive line up with her main damage source, making it a reliable second-best for burst-focused teams.

3
Nightweaver's Looking Glass
Nightweaver's Looking Glass

Elemental Mastery

After casting Elemental Skill, grants Lunar% and Elemental Mastery — directly scaling the buff her Seeds provide. Ideal for quickswap teams that refresh Skill often to keep the passive active.

4
Sunny Morning Sleep-In
Sunny Morning Sleep-In

Elemental Mastery

Comfort pick with Energy Recharge and a passive that restores energy after Elemental Skill hits, letting her Burst off cooldown without a dedicated battery. Lower ceiling but smoother.

5
Starcaller's Watch
Starcaller's Watch

Elemental Mastery

Team-wide Elemental Mastery buff after triggering reactions; the EM share boosts her Seed-scaled Burst while also helping Spread-capable allies. Strong in reaction-heavy comps.

6
Blackmarrow Lantern
Blackmarrow LanternR5

Elemental Mastery

Budget 4-star providing Elemental Mastery and a flat Elemental Skill DMG bonus. Solid stat stick when you lack 5-star options and want to lean into Lunar% scaling.

7
A Thousand Floating Dreams
A Thousand Floating Dreams

Elemental Mastery

Huge Elemental Mastery main stat plus a team-wide EM buff; her Burst amplification scales with EM and Lunar%, so this is a direct party-wide damage increase.

8
Tome of the Eternal Flow
Tome of the Eternal Flow

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG stat stick with HP-scaling Charged Attack bonus. Only ideal if her kit uses HP or Charged Attacks; otherwise use purely for the CRIT substat and base ATK.

9
Surf's Up
Surf's Up

CRIT DMG

HP% substat and a passive that boosts Normal Attack and Elemental Burst DMG after using Elemental Skill. Good if her rotation mixes Normal Attacks to stack Seeds.

10
Dawning Frost
Dawning Frost

CRIT DMG

Likely provides CRIT Rate or Elemental Mastery plus a Elemental Skill/Elemental Burst DMG bonus. Use to balance CRIT if your artifacts lack it.

11
The Widsith
The Widsith

CRIT DMG

4-star CRIT DMG stat stick with a random 10s buff — can roll Elemental Mastery or Elemental DMG Bonus, making it a high-ceiling budget choice despite the RNG.

Nefer Skills

Passive Talents

A Wager of Moonlight

A Wager of Moonlight

Ascension Phase 1
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 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 reaches 3 stacks, or when the third stack's duration is refreshed, Nefer's Elemental Mastery will be increased by 100 for 8s.
