The thrill of pulling Navia from a Genshin Impact banner is just the beginning. As a five-star Geo claymore user who debuted in late 2023, she's remained a fan-favorite through 2025 for her elegant cannon-umbrella combat style and Fontaine nobility flair. But that glittering character card hides a brutal truth: ascending her demands a grueling Teyvat treasure hunt. Unlike newer characters with streamlined material paths, Navia requires dedicated grinding across underwater realms, mechanical boss fights, and specialty domains. Yet veterans know she’s worth every resin drop—her crystallize-shattering damage output can redefine Geo team comps when fully unleashed.

🔷 Ascension Material Breakdown

Climbing Navia to level 90 demands six phases of resource gathering. Geo veterans might smirk at the Prithiva Topaz requirements—those slivers, fragments, and gemstones pile up when you’ve fought Azhdaha weekly since version 1.5. But Fontaine’s regional specialty? That’s where the real underwater safari begins. Here’s the full ascension roadmap:

• Spring of the First Dewdrop (60 total)

Dive into Morte Region’s southeastern trenches where these glowing blue orbs cling to coral reefs. They respawn every 48hrs—mark your map near the Opera Epiclese teleporter for efficient loops. Pro tip: Run Neuvillette for aquatic stamina reduction!

• Transoceanic & Xenochromatic Crystals

Fontemer Aberrants drop these like Fontaine’s Hilichurls. Pearl variants swarm Romaritime Harbor, while Chunks/Crystals drop from elite variants near the Institute of Natural Philosophy. No resin needed—just slaughter everything moving.

• Artificed Spare Clockwork Components (46 total)

Coppelius’ ballet-meets-mecha boss fight in the Fontaine Research Institute. Bring cryo shields—his ice-spinning phase still devastates unprepared teams in 2025.

📚 Talent Upgrade Essentials

Navia’s skills—Rose Crystal Salvo and Ceremonial Crystalshot—share identical upgrade paths. Equity talent books dominate early phases, but the real gatekeeper is the All-Devouring Narwhal’s Lightless Silk String. That whale hasn’t gotten easier; its HP-spongy phases demand hypercarry teams even now. Weekly resin budgeting is mandatory!

Talent Material Checklist:

• Teachings/Guides/Philosophies of Equity

Farm Fontaine’s Pale Forgotten Glory domain (Mon/Thu/Sun). Expect 2-3 greens per run—stockpile extras for future Fontaine characters!

• Transoceanic/Xenochromatic Drops

Same Aberrant farming route as ascension. Prioritize elites near Marcotte Station for higher-tier crystals.

• Lightless Silk String (6 total for max talents)

Narwhal exclusive. Use Dream Solvents to convert unwanted boss drops if RNG hates you.

⏱️ Efficiency Tips for 2025

Resin management separates Navia havers from Navia mains. Sync your Equity domain runs with daily commission resets—Fontaine’s talent book drop rates still feel stingy years later. For Coppelius, freeze teams with Wriothesley or Ayaka trivialize his mechanics. And underwater? Equip the Aquatic Ambience gadget; its 25% swim-speed boost makes dewdrop hunting less tedious. Oh, and that Geo Hypostasis you ignored? Now’s its time to shine for Prithiva Topaz stockpiles.

Ultimately, Navia rewards patience. Her crystallize shards hit like siege cannons at talent level 9+, and she synergizes shockingly well with pyro sub-DPS for melt reactions. Two years post-release, she’s still the only Geo character who makes underwater combat feel glamorous. But grinding her materials forces a question every Fontaine veteran ponders: Does building niche five-stars still justify the resin hemorrhage when Dendro reactions dominate the Spiral Abyss meta?
