What it costs to finish this character
Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.
Talent books: Elysium. To show the days this domain opens, add its row to the rotation table — the six regions already in it are there, and this one is not, so no day is claimed for it.
A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.
Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Talents
Striking Serpent
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 {LINK#N11220001}Shadow Dance{/LINK} state, additional Stamina consumption is decreased.
Additionally, unleashing the Elemental Skill {LINK#S11222}Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights{/LINK} 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.

Senet Strategy: Dance of a Thousand Nights
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 {LINK#N11220001}Shadow Dance{/LINK} state.
While in the Shadow Dance state, if you have at least 1 {LINK#N11190008}Verdant Dew{/LINK}, Nefer's Charged Attacks will be replaced with the special Charged Attack {LINK#N11220002}Phantasm Performance{/LINK}, which will not consume Stamina. When in the Shadow Dance state, Nefer's resistance to interruption is increased.
Two initial charges.
"The world is a game in which the pieces remain hidden behind a veil. To avoid falling into a trap, one must collect every piece of information one can. This is the meaning of secrets."

Sacred Vow: True Eye's Phantasm
Grant "revelation" to the mysteries of the false through Thoth's true sight, dealing AoE Dendro DMG to opponents ahead. When unleashed, Nefer will consume all {LINK#N11220003}Veils of Falsehood{/LINK} to increase the DMG dealt by the current Elemental Burst.
The blessings of the Ibis King proclaimed by the singers of the burning sands are, in truth, more akin to dire curses.

UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Catalysts of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90.

To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.
Teams
To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
