Genshin Impact "Song of the Welkin Moon" Version: New Dendro DPS Nefer Debuts!

Nefer brings the Moonbloom reaction into play, reshaping the combat dynamics of Teyvat!

The Genshin Impact "Moon II" version, "Song of the Welkin Moon: Reprise — An Elegy for Faded Moonlight," was officially released on October 22, 2025. The new limited 5-star character Nefer, the lost descendant of Sumeru and master of the "Secret Study," has joined the Character Event Wish.

🌙 Role Positioning & Core Mechanics: The Heart of the Moonbloom System

Nefer is a 5-star Dendro catalyst user whose kit revolves around the "Moonbloom Reaction," introducing a fresh gameplay style to Dendro teams.

Special Charged Attack & Dew Consumption: Nefer consumes "Dew" generated by the Moonbloom reaction to execute a special charged attack, with part of the damage counted as Moonbloom reaction damage.
Conversion of Delusion Cores: When the team is under the "Full Moonlight" state, Nefer's Elemental Skill converts existing Dendro Cores and Bountiful Cores into "Delusion Cores." Consuming Delusion Cores significantly enhances the damage of her special charged attacks and Elemental Burst.

Exploration Bonus: When Nefer is dispatched on expeditions in Nod Kalah, rewards are increased if the expedition duration is 20 hours.

🎮 Team Composition & Combat Guide

When building teams for Nefer, the core strategy is "Full Moonlight + Hydro-Dendro Bloom," with several options based on player rosters:

Premium Setup: Nefer + C1 Rahuma + C2 Nilou + C2 Nahida. This combination maximizes the Moonbloom system's damage potential.
Mid-Range Option: Nefer + Rahuma + Kokomi/Yelan + C2 Nahida/C6 Diona, balancing damage and survivability.

Budget-Friendly Setup: Nefer + Yelan + C4 Collei/Yaoyao + C6 Diona/Sucrose. Sucrose excels as an Elemental Mastery support, providing EM bonuses with skill hits.

For artifacts, "Night of the Grand Performance" is the top choice, with main stats focusing on EM/Dendro DMG/Crit, and substats prioritizing Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG.

In weapon rankings, "Tome of Secrets" leads, followed by "Spinning Night Mirror" and "Frostfall." Notably, crafted weapons are only about 20% less effective than top-tier options, making them budget-friendly.

Wish Recommendations:

Players with Lauma: Highly recommended to pull for a complete Moonbloom system.

Players without Lauma: Consider carefully or wait for future reruns.

Combat Tips:

The basic rotation involves swapping to Nefer after teammates apply buffs, then using "Skill + Hold Normal Attack + Skill + Hold Normal Attack." Advanced techniques include canceling attack animations with dashes during charged attacks to improve efficiency.

Nefer's ascension stat provides CRIT DMG, and she has a unique 200 base Elemental Mastery, making her relatively low-investment and quick to build.
