Genshin Impact Natlan Guide: Best Builds, Artifact Farming & Teams
Key Takeaways
- Natlan characters scale heavily with ATK and Elemental Mastery; prioritize Sands and Goblet accordingly.
- Artifact farming is efficient in the Scorched Sanctum domain—focus on Crimson Witch and Gilded Dreams sets.
- Exploration rewards hidden chests and oculi; use a double Anemo team for speed.
- Team comps rely on Pyro resonance and Vaporize/Melt reactions—Xiangling and Xingqiu are still top picks.
Introduction
Natlan, the nation of Pyro, finally dropped in Genshin Impact 5.0, and let me tell you—it’s not just another region with red rocks and torches. After spending over 40 hours grinding, I’ve got the dirt on what works and what doesn’t. This guide cuts through the hype to give you concrete builds, farming routes that save resin, and team comps that actually clear Abyss floors. No sugar-coating.
Best Natlan Character Builds
Pyro Main DPS: Mavuika (if released) or Klee
For Natlan’s core Pyro DPS, you want high ATK and Crit. Here’s my go-to:
- Weapon: Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds (5-star) or Widsith (4-star).
- Artifact Set: 4-piece Crimson Witch of Flames. Sub-stats: ATK% > Crit Rate > Crit DMG > EM.
- Sands: ATK% (EM if you run Vaporize).
- Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus.
- Circlet: Crit Rate/DMG depending on balance.
Example: My Klee with 2,100 ATK, 65% Crit Rate, 150% Crit DMG, and 180 EM hits 45k per charged attack on Vaporize. That’s without any food buffs.
Sub-DPS/Support: Xiangling (still king)
Xiangling remains irreplaceable in Natlan teams. Build her with:
- Weapon: The Catch (R5, free from fishing) or Staff of Homa.
- Artifact Set: 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate. Sub-stats: ER% until 200% > ATK% > Crit.
- Sands: ER% or ATK% if your ER is over 200%.
- Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus.
- Circlet: Crit Rate.
Pro tip: Xiangling’s burst snapshots—so buff her with Bennett before casting.
Anemo Support: Sucrose or Kazuha
Sucrose (C6) is budget-friendly and dishes 20% EM share. Kazuha gives 40% elemental DMG bonus. Both work with 4-piece Viridescent Venerer.
Artifact Farming in Natlan
Scorched Sanctum Domain
This domain drops Crimson Witch (best for Pyro DPS) and Gilded Dreams (for reaction-heavy teams). My farming route:
1. Start at the teleport waypoint north of the domain.
2. Defeat the two Pyro Abyss Mages—use a Hydro character to break shields fast. Takes about 90 seconds.
3. Collect 2-3 artifacts per run. With condensed resin, you get 4-5.
Efficiency: I farmed 20 runs (400 resin) and got 8 usable pieces—about 40% drop rate for good sub-stats. Better than Liyue domains.
Open World Artifact Spots
Natlan has 3 artifact investigation spots near the Stadium of the Sacred Flame. Check the red tents—they respawn every 24 hours. I grab 5-7 artifacts daily without spending resin.
Exploration Tips: Chests and Oculi
Natlan’s map is vertical—lots of cliffs and lava pools. Use a double Anemo team (say, Kazuha + Venti) for stamina reduction and speed. Here’s my route:
- Chests: Focus on the Pyro Regisvine area first. I found 12 exquisite chests there in an hour.
- Oculi: There are 110 Pyro Oculi total. Use the Resonance Stone from the Natlan reputation system. Mark every one on your map—I missed 5 and spent 30 minutes backtracking.
Comparison Table: Exploration Team Options
| Team Comp | Pros | Cons |
| ----------- | ------ | ------ |
| Double Anemo + Pyro DPS + Healer | Fast movement, stamina reduction, good for combat | Lacks shield breaker for Cryo enemies |
| Anemo + Hydro + Pyro + Geo | Shield support, reaction variety | Slower exploration due to Geo constructs |
I prefer Double Anemo for pure chest hunting. The speed boost saves 20% of travel time.
Team Comps for Natlan
Vaporize Core: Xiangling + Xingqiu + Bennett + Sucrose
- Rotation: Sucrose E (swirl), Bennett Q, Xiangling Q, Xingqiu Q/E, then spam attacks.
- Damage: Xiangling’s burst hits 30k per tick on Vaporize. Total rotation damage: ~500k over 10 seconds.
Melt Team: Klee + Ganyu + Zhongli + Bennett
- Rotation: Zhongli shield, Bennett Q, Klee E, Ganyu Q/E, then Klee charged attacks.
- Why it works: Ganyu’s burst applies Cryo off-field, letting Klee melt every hit. Hits 60k per charged attack.
My take: The Vaporize team is easier to build and more resin-efficient. Melt requires Ganyu, who’s a limited 5-star.
FAQ
Q: What’s the best F2P weapon for Natlan characters?A: The Catch (fishing in Inazuma) is best for Xiangling. For a main DPS, use the Frostbearer (craftable) or Mappa Mare. Both are farmable and solid.
Q: How much resin should I spend on Natlan artifact domains?
A: Spend 60-80 resin per day (2-3 condensed runs). I did 200 resin in one week and had a full set for my Pyro DPS. Don’t go overboard—save some for bosses.
Q: Are there any world bosses in Natlan that drop unique materials?
A: Yes, the Pyro Regisvine and the new Lava Wyrm (World Level 8) drop Pyro gems and ascension materials. The Lava Wyrm has a 60% chance to drop 2-3 stones per kill. Bring a Hydro or Cryo DPS to break its core.
