How to get Ka Ming
Ka Ming will first appear in a banner in the first half of 4.4, With You with Xian Yun and Nahida, when there is an increased chance of getting it. Once the version is finished it will move to other types as well prayers, from which it can be pulled out with equal probability. It is also possible that in the future we will have an event, the reward for which will be this character. We will inform you if such information becomes available.
Progression of Ka Ming's characteristics
As the character increases in level, his own stats will increase.
| Level | Base HP | Basic attack | Basic protection | Attack Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 957 | 25 | 59 | 0% |
| 20 | 2460 | 65 | 151 | 0% |
| 40 | 4755 | 126 | 293 | 0% |
| 60 | 7523 | 199 | 463 | 12% |
| 80 | 10120 | 267 | 623 | 18% |
| 90 | 11419 | 302 | 703 | 24% |
Ka Ming also has the standard 5% chance of a critical hit and 50% critical damage for many characters.
Advantages and disadvantages of Ka Ming
The gameplay for Ka Ming has several nice moments:
- He has the highest base attack in the game among 4-star characters.
- It has a large selection of both legendary swords and more budget options.
- Elemental Burst worth 60 units and being on the battlefield for a long time makes it easier to gain the required energy recovery value.
- He is a very strong character who, with good equipment and constellations, can defeat some legendary heroes.
- Can wear the Twilight Court Hunter set, which will simplify the selection of crits for the character.
But there were a few downsides:
- Doesn't have his own crits, which makes it difficult to select them for a character who especially needs them, since he is the main damage dealer.
- To maximize his own damage, he needs the sixth constellation, which is not so easy to reach.
- During the game, it is better not to move far from enemies so that Man Chai will probably reach them and return to the owner, resetting the cooldown of the elemental skill.
- It is necessary to ensure that the health indicator does not fall below 50%, and the effect of the ultimate does not end prematurely.
Ka Ming's abilities
While using an ordinary talent "Stars Torn by Claws" makes 4 consecutive strikes with his sword or makes a charged attack, which costs 40 points of stamina. When landing after a fall, it deals area damage.
Explanation: This talent is not Ka Ming's main source of damage. But in any case, you will use it one way or another between the jumps contained in the elemental skill. These can be like ordinary blows for hydro overlay from the skills of Xingqiu or Yelan, as well as attacks in the fall, which can be done if you have Xian Yun in the squad.
Within the skill "Rise of the Blessed Beast" Ka Ming lunges forward and then jumps into the air. Upon landing, it deals pyro damage, losing 15% of its maximum HP. In this case, the health value cannot fall below 10%.
Explanation: The elemental skill is Ka Ming's main source of damage. After activation, the Achievement: Hero will make a dash and fly into the air. To land and hit, you will need to press the normal attack key. During this time, the character will acquire a pyro infusion, which cannot be interrupted by any other similar effects.
Note that this blow is a falling attack, so all bonuses related to this method of dealing damage will apply to it. But at the same time, percentages of his damage are in the elemental skill, so pumping up ordinary attacks will in no way increase the effectiveness of this particular type of strike.
When activating the ultimate "Golden Dance of the Suanni" Ka Ming enters a special state that will be interrupted as soon as the character leaves the battlefield. He restores 30% of his HP once and releases Man Chai onto the field. The companion goes to the enemy to deal pyro damage, and then returns to its owner, while resetting the cooldown of the elemental skill.
If at this moment Ka Ming’s health is above 50%, then the pet will not go into the pocket, but will again run towards the enemy without causing damage to him, but when returning to the hero, he will reset the cooldown of the elemental skill each time.
Explanation: Ulmate's main function is to increase the number of elemental skill attacks that Ka Min makes in one rotation. He will be able to jump at least 5 times. But don’t completely discount the damage that Man Chai causes. Although he does this once, this blow has good percentages, so it will contribute to the destruction of the enemy.
Since Ka Ming himself consumes more HP than he restores, it is necessary to place a healer in his squad who maintains the hero’s health at more than 50% in order to use the cooldown of the elemental skill for all 12 seconds allotted for the action of the ultimate.
Ka Ming also has three passive talents.
- "Dance of the World" When a jump hit from an elemental skill hits an enemy, Ka Ming recovers 1.5% of his maximum HP. The bonus can occur once every 0.2 seconds and lasts 0.8 seconds.
- "Air of Prosperity" When health is below 50%, the healing Ka Ming receives from external sources increases by 20%. With HP more than 50%, attacks in the fall of an elemental skill will deal 20% more damage.
- "Running of the Awakened Beast." During the day (6:00-18:00), the movement speed of Ka Ming and his allies increases by 20%. The effect does not work in dungeons and does not stack with other similar bonuses.
Constellations Ka Ming
Since this Achievement: Hero is epic, over time you will probably be able to collect more than one constellation. You can get these enhancements by pulling the character out of any prayer again.
- Bringer of blessing - when Man Chai returns to the owner, he restores 15% of his HP.
- Plum Blossoms Underfoot - When Ka Ming is overhealed, his attack is increased by 20% for 5 seconds.
- Awakening Spirit – increases the level of an elemental skill by 3. Maximum level: 15.
- Soaring above the clouds - when Ka Ming hits an enemy with a blow after jumping from an elemental skill, he restores 2 units of energy. The bonus occurs once every 0.2 seconds.
- Demon-terrifying roar – increases the ultimate level by 3. Maximum level: 15.
- Taming all animals - crit chance. hits and crit. attack damage after jumping from an elemental skill increases by 20% and 40% respectively. Also increases the damage radius of this strike.
The best constellation of Ka Ming is undoubtedly the sixth. With it, his damage increases significantly, and the recruitment of crits in artifacts and weapons is also simplified. The rest of the buffs are also pretty good, as they increase energy regeneration rate and attack power. C1 may allow in some situations to abandon the healer in the squad, but in this case it is unlikely that it will be possible to activate overheal for C2. In teams with Furina, this generally becomes an unlikely option.
How to play as Ka Ming
The order of pressing the abilities of the entire squad, of which Ka Ming is a member, is not particularly complicated, but you should be more careful when the dancer himself is on the field in order to avoid making a mistake. In general, the rotation will look like this:
- Activate all the skills of your allies, namely pocket damage dealers, buffers and healers.
- Switch to Ka Ming and activate his elemental skill, then do a fall attack.
- Activate the ultimate and repeat the previous step about 5 times. Make sure that your HP does not fall below 50%, and Man Chai always returns to his owner. If you are playing in a squad with Yelan or Xingqiu, then do not forget to do normal attacks between jumps to apply hydra to enemies.
- After Man Chai disappears, start the rotation again.
Best builds for Ka Ming
Best weapon
Ka Ming has a fairly wide selection of weapons. Claymores, which increase the values of attack, elemental damage and crits, are suitable for him. Bonuses to elemental mastery when playing through reactions will also come in handy. Next we will look at several optimal options.
| Name and rarity | Characteristics (level 1–90) | Passive ability |
|---|---|---|
|
Reed Sea Lighthouse (5 stars) |
Crit chance Impact: 7.2~33.1% Base Attack: 46~608 |
After hitting an enemy with an elemental skill, the wearer's attack increases by 20~40%. After receiving damage, his attack increases by the same amount. Both bonuses last 8 seconds and can be activated even when the Achievement: Hero is not on the field. If the character is not under a shield, then his HP increases by 32~64%. This two-handed weapon is one of the best options for Ka Ming. Although the HP bonus is useless to him, he will greatly appreciate the extra attack. But to do this, you should make sure that the Achievement: Hero receives damage from enemies, since his own loss of health does not count as damage. |
|
Judgment (5 stars) |
Crit chance Impact: 4.8~22.1% Base Attack: 48~674 |
Attack increases by 20~40%. When an ally picks up a fragment from crystallization reactions, the bearer receives 1 stack, a total of 2 of them can be collected. Each level lasts up to 15 seconds and increases elemental damage by 18~36%. This bonus disappears after using an elemental skill. Judgment has a high base attack, which increases the value of the percentage increase of this stat from all sources. But to get a bonus to pyro damage, you will need to place a geo hero in Ka Min’s squad to create crystals. |
|
Wolf’s Gravestone (5 stars) |
Attack Bonus: 10.8~49.6% Base Attack: 46~608 |
Increases attack power by 20~40%. When hitting an enemy whose HP is less than 30%, the attack value of all allies increases by 40~80% for 12 seconds. The bonus can occur once every 30 seconds. Claymore will give Ka Ming a huge amount of useful attack, although the second part of the passive can be difficult to activate during the boss fight. But at the same time, the set of crits will become significantly more complicated, the only source of which will be artifacts. |
|
Redhorn Stonethresher (5 stars) |
Crete. damage: 19.2~88.2% Base Attack: 44~542 |
Defense increases by 28~56%. Damage from normal and charged attacks increases by 40~80% of the defense value. This weapon gives a lot of crit. damage, which is its main and almost only advantage. Due to the low base attack, you will have to look for additional sources of filling this stat. The bonus to regular hits won't hurt if you use them, but they are still not the main sources of damage. |
|
Serpent Spine (4 stars) |
Crit chance Impact: 6.0~27.6% Base Attack: 42~510 |
For every 4 seconds you are on the field, damage dealt increases by 6~10%, and damage received increases by 3~2%. Can be folded up to 5 times. This bonus does not disappear when switching to another character. One stack is lost for each damage taken. At full stacks it is one of the best options that competes with most legendaries. The way Ka Min removes HP from himself is not taking damage. The only drawback of this weapon is that it can only be obtained from the battle pass for real money. |
|
Tidal Shadow (4 stars) |
Attack Bonus: 9.0~41.4% Base Attack: 42~510 |
After receiving treatment, the wearer increases attack power by 24~48% for 8 seconds. Crafted sword from Fontaine. An excellent budget option that will flood a lot of attack. In addition, Ka Ming himself will be able to activate the passive without any problems. |
|
Lithic Blade (4 stars) |
Attack Bonus: 9.0~41.4% Base Attack: 42~510 |
For each Liyue ally in the squad, the bearer receives a bonus of 7~11% attack power and 3~7% critical hit chance. This weapon can only be obtained from a weapon prayer. Shows better on high awakenings. In general, it will not be a problem to collect two characters from Liyue into a squad, since Ka Ming himself will be one of them, but still, starting from the region of origin of the character when collecting a squad is not the best idea. |
|
|
Obtaining Energy: 6.7~30.6% Base Attack: 43.7~565 |
Increases attack power by 12~24%. Depending on the number of Melusines you helped, this bonus increases by another 12~24%. Two-handed was given as a reward for main event version 4.3. If you managed to get it, then it will be a good match for Ka Ming, since it has a high base, gives a lot of attack and makes it easier to set the ultimate. |
|
Flower in armor (4 stars) |
Bonus MS: 24~110 Base Attack: 44~565 |
When an elemental skill hits an enemy or the wearer triggers a reaction, they gain a bonus to attack power and elemental mastery of 12~24% and 48~96 points respectively. If you were lucky enough to pick up this weapon during event version 3.5, it will be able to greatly increase the damage from reactions due to its fairly high attack power and additional elemental mastery. |
|
Talking Stick (4 stars) |
Crit chance Impact: 4.0~18.4% Base Attack: 44~565 |
When receiving a pyro effect, the wearer is given 16~32% attack power. When activating Hydro, Cryo, Electro and Dendro Infusion, he is given an elemental bonus of 12~24%. Can occur once every 12 seconds. Ka Ming consistently receives a pyro infusion for jumping, so he can get a bonus to attack. There will also be a chance of a critical hit. But it is worth noting that this claymore will perform much worse than the other two-handed weapon from the battle pass - the Dragonbone Sword. |
|
Rainslasher (4 stars) |
Bonus MS: 36~165 Base Attack: 42~510 |
Increases damage against enemies affected by Hydro or Electro by 20~36%. If Ka Ming plays in steam units with hydro characters, then this sword will be a good budget solution that increases the damage of reactions. |
Best Artifacts
As for artifacts, the best choice is a full set Hunter of the Twilight Court. Ka Ming, even without Furina, can easily change his health three times and get three stacks, which will give him a 36% chance of a critical hit.
Immediately behind it are 4 items Burning scarlet witch. With it, Ka Ming will increase steam damage by 15% and quickly gain 3 stacks for a 37.5% pyro damage bonus.
You can also consider the kit Cinnabar afterlife. 4 items will give a total of up to 66% attack power after activating the ultimate and four HP losses.
In roasting squads, where most of the characters are representatives of the pyro element, you can take a set Lava walker, but only if your opponent does not have a permanent elemental status, such as Celebration: Hypostasis. This set will increase damage to enemies with a light hanging on them by 35%.
If you do not have a complete set, then you can consider various 2+2 variations of the Burning Scarlet Witch sets, sets that provide 80 elements of elemental mastery or 18% attack power, but it is worth noting that they will be noticeably worse than the above options.
When selecting characteristics, you should pay attention to the following items:
- Watch: For most squads, Elemental Mastery will be the best option. For mono pyro teams, it is better to choose attack power%.
- Cup: pyro damage, in a squad with Furina you can also take attack power%.
- Head: critical hit chance or crit. damage at a ratio of 1:2.
- Additional stats: crits, attack power%, elemental mastery, Obtaining Energy. Depending on the number of favonians and pyro heroes in the squad, as well as the presence of C4, Ka Min may need from 120 to 150% VE.
Best commands for Ka Ming
Ka Min plays the role of the main damage dealer in squads, so all allies will gather around him. He shows himself most effectively in reaction squads, so hydro characters will go well with him. He also needs a healer, preferably one with periodic healing, to maintain HP above 50%. Xian Yun is perfect for this role, as she will also buff the damage from jumping. Heroes that provide additional attack, like Bennett, and owners of the God's Eye anemo, such as Kaedehara Kazuha, will be useful to reduce resists.

As for ordinary attacks, they need to be improved last, but you shouldn’t completely forget about them. They don’t do a lot of damage, but the Achievement: Hero will use them anyway, which means it would be nice to improve them to at least level 6, or better yet, level 8.
How to level up a character
To maximally improve a hero's base stats, you will have to level him up approximately every 10 levels. The resources that will be required for this are listed below.
- Agnidus agate crystals fall from pyro hypostasis And orchids, semi-eternal observation operator matrix algorithm And ancient geovishap. They can also be obtained after completing such weekly bosses as Wolf Lord, Azhdaha And La Signora.
- The Emperor’s Resolution is a reward for defeating the boss Emperor of Fire and Iron.
- Slime secretions drop from matching enemies located throughout Teyvat.
- Starshells can be found on the banks of Liyue. We have separate guide on farming these wonders.
