Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 kicks that deal Dendro DMG with the ferocity and grace of a striking serpent.

Charged Attack
Nefer enters the Slither state, consuming Stamina to move rapidly forward for up to 2.5s. When the skill button is released, the duration ends, or Stamina runs out, Nefer will exit the Slither state and consume a certain amount of additional Stamina to deal Dendro DMG to opponents. When in the Shadow Dance state, additional Stamina consumption is decreased.
Additionally, unleashing the Elemental Skill Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights or sprinting while Nefer is in the Slither state will not cause her to exit the state.

Plunging Attack
Calling upon the might of Dendro, Nefer plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path and dealing AoE Dendro DMG upon impact with the ground.

Passive Effects
  • Passive Talent 2, Daughter of the Dust and Sand Daughter of the Dust and Sand: "When Nefer is in the Shadow Dance state, for 5s after a party member triggers a Lunar-Bloom reaction, Nefer's Slither state will provide additional Verdant Dew. Every 100 points of Nefer's Elemental Mastery beyond 500 will strengthen this additional provision effect by 10%. The maximum increase that can be achieved this way is 50%."

A dance that dissolved dynasties, as chilling as a winter's night on the great sea of sand, yet lingering with the tenderness of moonlit gauze. Nefer charges forward, dealing AoE Dendro DMG and entering the Shadow Dance state.
While in the Shadow Dance state, if you have at least 1 Verdant Dew, Nefer's Charged Attacks will be replaced with the special Charged Attack Phantasm Performance, which will not consume Stamina. When in the Shadow Dance state, Nefer's resistance to interruption is increased.

Two initial charges.

Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Nod-Krai Expedition for 20 hours.
Additionally, as the head of the Curatorium of Secrets, Nefer seemingly has the ability to obtain intelligence from a variety of sources — intelligence that certain factions in Nasha Town might find extremely interesting...

  • This passive grants Nefer access to the Intel Hunt feature, which is only available to members of the Curatorium of Secrets.
    • When Nefer is near certain NPCs, her Elemental Skill will be replaced with a special intel-gathering skill. Using it on these NPCs will reveal additional information about them and potentially unlock exclusive dialogue and/or quests.
      • For each NPC, gathering intel from them for the first time will reward Recorded Intel Recorded Intel ×1. Recorded Intel can be exchanged with Katheryne to unlock Intel Quests.
      • The intel-gathering skill has a fixed cooldown of 8.5 seconds, but uses Nefer's standard Elemental Skill animation.
    • Curatorium members can gather intel from a combined total of 6 new NPCs per Weekly Reset. Attempting to gather more intel with Nefer will trigger the following dialogue: Media:vo mwgwq002 1 nefer 09.ogg (Alright, time for a break. That's enough intel for now.)

TitleDescription
Character SummaryNefer is a Dendro DMG dealer who enables her party members to trigger Lunar-Bloom reactions and who can consume Verdant Dew created by Lunar-Bloom reactions to deal Lunar-Bloom DMG.
Lunar-Bloom ReactionWhen Nefer is in the party, Bloom reactions triggered by party members are converted to Lunar-Bloom, which provides the party with valuable Verdant Dew on top of the standard reaction effects.
Nefer herself and certain characters can utilize their Talents or consume Verdant Dew to deal Lunar-Bloom DMG to opponents. This DMG can trigger CRIT Hits.
Elemental SkillAfter Nefer uses her Elemental Skill Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights, she will enter a special Shadow Dance state. While in this state, Nefer can consume Verdant Dew and Hold the attack button to initiate Phantasm Performance, dealing massive Lunar-Bloom DMG to opponents.
After some time, or after initiating a maximum of 3 Phantasm Performances, Nefer will exit the Shadow Dance state.
Shadow CoreWhen the party's Moonsign Level is Ascendant Gleam, Nefer's Elemental Skill Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights will cause nearby Dendro Cores to be converted into Seeds of Deceit. For a certain time thereafter, all nearby characters will instead generate Seeds of Deceit when triggering Lunar-Bloom reactions.
When Nefer finishes charging her Charged Attacks, she will absorb nearby Seeds within a set AoE, which will grant her Veil of Falsehood effects, increasing Phantasm Performance DMG.
The party's Moonsign is Ascendant Gleam by default during Nefer's character trial.
Elemental BurstNefer's Elemental Burst Sacred Vow: True Eye's Phantasm deals AoE Dendro DMG and consumes all Veil of Falsehood effects to increase this Elemental Burst instance's DMG.
