A Thousand Floating Dreams is Nahida's signature weapon, but it can stil𝓀l be useful even if you don't have Nahida. While this weapon is built for her, it will still be powerful on other characters if you don't have their signature weapon, you want to give them a 5-star weapon, or you want to do something a little off the beaten trail.

What Does A Thousand Floating Dreams Do?

is a 5-star weapon with a 44 base attack that increases the Elemental Mastery of characters of the same elemental type as the wearer by 32. Characters who don’t have the same elemental type have their elemental damage increased by ten percent.

Each of these effects can stack up to three times. This weapon also gives the wearer another 58 Elemental Mastery.

A Thousand Floating Dreams is good for sub-DPS characters on mono-type teams, teams that heavily rely on elemental reactions or teams where there is at least one more character of the same element as the wearer. If the character with this weapon is the only character of their element on the team, the main DPS should be a character who focuses a lot on triggering elemental reactions, especially Bow or Catalyst characters.

How To Obtain A Thousand Floating Dreams

A Thousand Floating Dreams can be obtained by pulling for it when it is featured on the weapon banner. It is Nahida’s signature weapon, so it’s usually available when Nahida is on the character banner.

To increase your chances of receiving A Thousand Floating Dreams, make sure you select it as your Epitomized Path weapon. This will make sure that you have a guaranteed chance to 💟pull it after you pull two 5-star weapons that aren't your selected weapons in a row.

Nahida

A Thousand Floating Dreams is Nahida’s signature weapon, so it is both her best weapon and the best character for this weapon. The weapon’s Elemental Mastery bonuses are fantastic for Dendro teams because, as a Dendro Catalyst character, Nahida is extremely good at applying Dendro to enemies and triggering Dendro-related reactions like Bloom, Burn, and Quicken.

When her allies aren’t Dendro characters, not only will her weapon give them additional Elemental Damage, but by using her skill Illusionary Heart, she will create the Shrine of Maya, which will grant allies of specific elements certain effects:

• Pyro and Electro damage bonus.
• Hydro increases the length of time the Shrine of Maya can be activated.

If you aren't running on a primarily Dendro team, this effect makes her extremely valuable for team compositions that rely a lot on Dendro and Dendro reactions.

Furthermore, one of Nahida’s Passive Talents grants the party member with the highest Elemental Mastery a 25 percent bonus, so make sure that her teammates have high Elemental Mastery. Her other Passive Talent also grants her more Crit Rate and bonus damage depending on how much Elemental Maste🅘ry she has aꩵbove 200.

Yae Miko

As a sub-DPS and an off-field DPS, A Thousand Floating Dreams is great on whether she has other Electro team members or not. Because she is an off-field DPS, this weapon’s Elemental Mastery boost is extremely valuable.

One of her abilities allows her to set up Sesshou Sakura, statues that release Electro damage over time. Her passive boosts this ability, granting her an additional 0.15 percent damage per point of Elemental Mastery she possesses, which means Elementa📖l Mastery is extremely valuable on all fronts of her playstyle.

If her party members are characters of other elements, Yae Miko is great for causing reactions by setting up Sesshou Sakura and leaving it to her other party members to do their e𒊎lemental damage.

In a party with other Electro units, it may be best to have at least one other off-field DPS (like Yaoyao, Xianling, or Xinqiu) so that her Sesshou Sakura can trigger elemental reactions while the main DPS or the other Electro units are doing their thing. When you have two off-field DPS units triggering their off-field skills at once, they are already doing a lot of the elemental reactions work automatically.

Shield characters like Kirara and Layla also do off-field elemental damage thanks to their shields, making them another good viable option. If you are teaming Yae Miko up with another Electro character, make sure that character can benefit a lot from the Elemental Mastery buffs.

Ningguang

While is a bit more of a main DPS character, A Thousand Floating Dreams can still be a good choice for her. The main reason for this is that Geo characters tend to work well together, meaning that A Thousand Floating Dreams will grant fellow Geo teammates 32 more Elemental Mastery on top of their natural synergy.

Some great Geo characters to pair with ⛦Ningguang are:

• Noelle because of her capacity for creating shields.
• Gorou because all of his skills are fantastic compliments for Geo teams. He can increase defense, do some healing, and power up his teammates' Geo moves.
• Albedo and Zhongli because they can both do off-field Geo damage, creating Geo crystals.
• Arataki Itto because Ushi can distract enemies while you attack with Ningguang from a distance. He's also a strong attacker, so you can switch to him if enemies are getting too close.

Because she is a Catalyst user, Elemental Mastery is already quite important for her constant Geo application, which allows her to create shields more often. Even if she is not on a mono-Geo team or if she is not being used as a Main DPS, A Thousand Floating Dreams still provides her allies with the very useful Elemental Damage bonus.

Sucrose

Anemo is fantastic at triggering Elemental Reactions, so is a great choice mostly because of A Thousand Floating Dreams’ elemental damage bonus. This weapon is ideal for a Sucrose who is a member of a team that applies a lot of different elements at once, giving them their bonuses and allowing Suc𓄧ro🧜se to tie them all together.

Furthermore, her attack Forbidden Creation—Isomer 75/Type II increases all team members’ Elemental Mastery by 20 percent. With a Thousand Floating Dreams, Sucrose can be a powerhouse in increasing her team’s overall 🔯elemental damage.

If Sucrose isn’t the only Anemo character on the team, she still comes in handy, especially if that other Anemo character is the team’s main DPS. Every time she causes a Swirl reaction, one of Sucrose’s passives increases the other Anemo characters’ Elemental Mastery by 50 for eight seconds.
