Nefer Character Profile
| Character Information |
Nefer | Rarity | ★★★★★ |
| Element |  Dendro |
| Weapon |  Catalyst
|
| Progression Bonus | CRIT DMG +38.4% |
| Combat Role | DPS |
Nefer is a Dendro Catalyst on-field DPS whose kit revolves around the Lunar-Bloom reaction.
When she uses her Elemental Skill, Nefer enters the Shadow Dance state. If she has at least one Verdant Dew, her Charged Attack is replaced by Phantasm Performance. This attack summons a shade of Nefer to perform Coordinated Attacks against enemies, which is considered as Luna-Bloom DMG.
And Nefer also gains additional buffs based on the party’s Moonsign. With the Moonsign effect Ascendant Gleam, casting her Elemental Skill transforms all existing Dendro and Bountiful Cores into Seeds of Deceit, which can be absorbed and turned into Veils of Falsehood stacks, which can increase Nefer's Elemental Burst damage based on the number consumed.

Nefer Best Artifacts & Stats
To maximize Nefer’s damage output, the new “Night of the Sky’s Unveiling” artifact set from Nod-Krai is undoubtedly her best-in-slot. It grants Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate, and a bonus to Lunar Reaction DMG — making it an exceptionally well-rounded option. If you haven’t completed the set yet, Gilded Dreams is a solid substitute. Alternatively, beginners can opt for a mix of 2-piece Gilded Dreams or 2-piece Wanderer’s Troupe, which still delivers reliable performance.
