Genshin Impactfan points out a slightly disappointing detail about Nahida’s idle animation. After months of anticipation,Genshin Impactplayers finally have the option to pull for the Dendro Archon whose banner is scheduled to expire on November 18.
Each character in the game has a couple of unique animations that can be triggered by being inactive. These idle animations can include various activities, from Albedo’s drawing skills to Bennett getting hit in the head by a stone. While waiting for the player’s commands, Nahida’s idle animation makes her sit on a Dendro-type swing for a very long time.

Reddit user trueHolyGiraffe has expressed his feelings about Nahida’s idle animation on the officialGenshin Impactsubreddit. In a thread that gathered over 7.2k upvotes the Redditor claims that they would’ve preferred if Nahida could create a Dendro sphere in at least one of her idle animations. All three of the previously released Archons, Venti, Zhongli, and Raiden Shogun, have the ability to create a sphere infused with their respective element. While most replies in the comment section agree, a couple of fans have stated that giving Nahida such a “childlike” idle suits her character considering that she is the youngest out of theSevenGenshin ImpactArchons.
Overall, players seem very happy with the new character’s design and power of the field which was proven by the fact thatNahida already broke the first-day revenue record inGenshin Impact. This record is even more impressive considering that her release is surrounded by very strong character additions like Cyno and Nilou in 3.1 and Wanderer being confirmed for the next update.
Nahida’s release could completely change the game’s character meta considering that she is the first five-star Dendro support. A big part of the community already gave her the nickname “Archon of elemental reactions” due toNahida’s ability to interact and enable so many other charactersand elements. In fact, without those reactions, Nahida is almost useless compared to other five-star characters as her Normal Attacks don’t do a lot of damage.
Just like the three previous Archons, Nahida is a very flexible character that can fit in most team compositions in the game. HoYoverse has included at least one Archon in each update with 3.0 and 3.1 featuring Zhongli and Venti. This means thatGenshin Impactversion 3.3could bring back the Electro Archon Raiden Shogun whose last re-run was alongside Sangonomiya Kokomi during update 2.5.
Genshin Impactis available now for mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5 with a Switch version also in development.
