Strengths and Weaknesses of Navia
When examining Navia's strengths, the Genshin Impact gaming community can most clearly witness her potent and effortless shockingly high damage-dealing capabilities. No need for intricate rotations like other characters. Just generate Crystals, focus on enhancing the Jade Crystal Burst, equip an ATK/Crit rate set for regular DPS. Budget weapons like Aquila Favonia or Blackcliff Longsword work, or go fancy with the Wolf's Gravestone for massive in-game damage.

However, Navia's weakness lies in her lack of compatibility with many current Nham support characters. They typically buff defense and Nham elemental damage, while Navia's damage multiplier focuses on ATK. This makes her fit into team compositions in Genshin Impact relatively rare at the moment.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Itto
While Navia brings massive power in a short burst, Arataki Itto delivers sustained, high damage by spamming charged attacks in the Demon King's Roar state. Specifically, this skill inflicts Nham elemental damage and scales damage with defense. Itto can unleash over 10 charged attacks with proper combos, pushing overall damage to impressive heights. Outfitting him is straightforward; use a Shimenawa's Reminiscense set with DEF as the main stat. For Itto's team composition, prioritize having and leveling up Gorou as he complements Itto's strengths perfectly.

However, Itto's weakness mirrors Gorou's: requiring a team of 3 Nham characters to unleash their full potential. Besides Itto and Gorou, other suitable roles include Zhongli and Albedo, all of whom are 5-star limited characters. Additionally, tackling the Golden Wolf Lord can be a headache for players.
