IN Genshin Impact Kachina is 4 star character, related to the Geo element and using a spear in combat. In a squad, she can act as a secondary damage dealer with an emphasis on support. In this guide, you can learn about her best build, weapons and artifacts, as well as recommended teams with her.
Main features of Kachina
How to get Kachina
In the first phase of update 5.0, the young warrior from Nanatzkaian appeared in banner, which increased the chance of its drop. Then it will be added to the standard Prayer, which will reduce the chance of the spearwoman dropping. At the same time, the developers often hold events in which 4-star heroes are given away for free. We will definitely inform you about this when the corresponding event appears.
Let's add that you can get Kachina absolutely free during the passage of the first chapter of the Natlan story arc called "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn". You will need to reach the Children of Echo settlement and talk to the cute warrior.
Kachina Stat Progression
The table below shows how a character's basic stats change as they level up.
| Level | Base HP | Basic attack | Basic protection | Geo Damage Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 989 | 18 | 66 | 0% |
| 20 | 2541 | 47 | 170 | 0% |
| 40+ | 5439 | 100 | 365 | 6% |

| 80 | 10457 | 192 | 702 | 18% |
| 90 | 11799 | 217 | 792 | 24% |
The default critical damage and critical hit chance are 50% and 5% respectively.
Kachina's Abilities
When performing a normal attack "Rockbiter" the character makes up to 4 strikes with a spear, and when charged, lunges forward, spending a certain amount of stamina and dealing damage to all enemies in its path. In the case of a falling attack, it rushes towards the ground, and upon landing, it deals damage to the area.
Explanation: Normal, unremarkable normal attacks that you will rarely use outside of an elemental skill.
After using an elemental skill "Forward, Turbo Vortex!" the heroine summons a drill (considered a Geo construct) and gets 60 points Night spirit, entering Night Spirit Blessing mode. The drill's actions consume points, and when they are all spent, Kachina exits the corresponding state.
The Turbo Vortex can either exist separately or become Kachina's transport. To get into the drill, you need to press the elemental skill button again (or initially use a long press of the E key). In the first form, it simply periodically hits the ground, inflicting Geo damage to the area with the Night Spirit property, the size of which depends on the heroine's Defense.
If you sit on a turbo whirlwind, you can start controlling it to quickly move around the location or hit enemies with it by pressing the normal attack button - in this case, the drill deals increased Geo damage over an area, which also depends on the character's Defense parameter.
Explanation: For sub-DD, the separate existence of the drill will be a more preferable option. It will deal relatively small Geo damage with an interval of 2 seconds. In one action of E-shka, it will manage to perform 6 attacks. Quite a good addition for any damage dealer.
The control mode allows you to independently choose the attack speed by pressing the normal attack button. The damage in this case will be slightly greater (at level 10 the difference is about 40%) and it will be possible to inflict it faster, but we still do not advise you to use this form in combat, because in this way you will take time from your main damager.
The main purpose of the movement mode is the movement itself, since with a full Night Spirit gauge you can easily ride the storm for over 20 seconds within Natlan (unfortunately, you will be able to ride less in the rest of Teyvat), easily overcoming ledges and slopes.
Elemental Burst "Well, that's it now!" allows the heroine to attack the ground with a drill, causing huge Geo damage in an area, the size of which depends on the character's Defense, and create a Turbo Drill zone, increasing the Turbo Vortex's attack area and the speed of her movement while riding the device. If there is already a drill on the field when the ult is activated, it will be summoned to Kachina.
Explanation: Deals pretty decent damage to nearby enemies (at level 10 the multiplier is 693%) and increases the radius of Turbo Vortex to 5.2 meters (from 4). So we recommend using the ult every rotation if possible, so you will have to pay special attention to energy recovery.
It is also impossible not to mention the extremely useful passive talents of the warrior of the Children of the Echo tribe. The first of them is called "Mountain Echo" and increases the heroine's Geo damage by 20% for 12 seconds when any team member activates Night Spirit Flash.
Explanation: Only Natlan characters can trigger Night Spirit Flash when dealing elemental damage, and the more of them there are in the team, the more often it will be possible to activate it: from 18 seconds with one Natlan and up to 9 seconds with 3 or 4. So Kachina will definitely receive this bonus at least once per battle.
Second - The weight of a monolithic rock - increases damage from Turbo Vortex by 20% of the heroine's defense. There is no need to explain anything here.
As for the third passive "Gift of the Night Realm: Heart of Unity" , she gains the ability to use Night Spirit Transfer when in areas of Natlan with phlogiston mechanics. When the active character uses sprint, climbs, is in the movement state of certain talents, or is at a certain height in the air, when switching to Kachina, the following effect is activated: the heroine enters the Blessing of the Night Spirit state, enters the field on Turbo Vortex, and gains 30 Night Spirit. Night Spirit Transfer can be activated by your squad once every 10 seconds.
Explanation: In short, this passive makes it easier for Kachina to move around Natlan, allowing her to maintain the effect of the drill longer.
The heroine also has a special innate passive "The Grace of the Crystal Flame" , which restores 20 stamina in areas with the appropriate mechanics in Natlan when interacting with certain items. Plus, it shows local curiosities on the minimap.
Constellations of Kachina
To unlock them, you need the character's Serendipity , which is given when you drop duplicates of the hero, which is, of course, random. However, the probability of getting 4-star characters is much higher than legendary ones, so you can easily open at least a couple of constellations. Here is a full list of them:
- Shards are also gems - the heroine picks up the nearest elemental shards that were created during the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize reaction when she gets off or sits on the drill. If a team member takes such a shard, the heroine restores 3 units of energy (the bonus works no more than once every 5 seconds).
- I always take with me... Turbo Vortex - when activating the ult, the heroine receives 20 Night Spirit points. If there is no drill on the battlefield, she will immediately summon it and switch to the Blessing of the Night Spirit mode.
- Improved Stabilizer – skill level increases by three. Maximum level: 15.
- More enemies - more caution - increases the active hero's defense in the turbo drill zone by 8%/12%/16%/20% if there are 1/2/3/4 or more enemies in it, respectively.
- My current collection - the ult level increases by three. Maximum level: 15th.
- This time, I win - when replacing or destroying the shield on the active hero , Kachina deals Geo damage in the area equal to 200% of her defense. She can perform this attack no more than once every 5 seconds.
The best constellation for Kachina is C2 , which can be reached even within one banner action. With its help, you can extend the action of the E-shka (for an additional 2 attacks), performing an Elemental Burst each rotation. The rest of the constellations only give small bonuses that are not very important to the heroine.
How to play as Kachina
Kachina's gameplay is incredibly simple, as all you have to do is activate her elemental skill to deal Geo damage and trigger Geo reactions, and you can immediately switch to your main damage dealer. You can monitor the duration of Turbo Vortex by a special bar that will appear above the Natlan warrior's health school (see screenshot below).
It is advisable to use the drill separately, without sitting on it with Kachina. Although the damage in the second case will be slightly greater, you will take time away from the main DD, which will certainly reduce the overall DPS of the squad. In addition, the effect of the artifact "Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City" will work from the pocket.
Why did we even mention this set? The thing is, it gives a huge elemental bonus to allies, significantly increasing their damage, and only Kachina can take full advantage of it at the moment (patch 5.0). Overall, we recommend you take this heroine in your squad just because of this one set of artifacts, turning her into an excellent sub-DD/support.
To activate it, you only need to activate Kachina's E-type, and then go into the pocket, switching to the main damage dealer of the Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Anemo element, who should start throwing elemental statuses at enemies to activate the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize reaction and receive a damage bonus. At the same time, not only the active Achievement: Hero can receive an increase, but also other sub-DDs, if their own abilities are in effect. As a result, you can, for example, get a 40% bonus to Pyro, Geo and Cryo at once.
If we talk about Kachina's elemental explosion, then if you have the 2nd constellation, you should use it every rotation, and it will start with the activation of the ult, because Turbo Vortex will immediately appear on the field. This will also allow you to expand the radius of the latter. In general, the optimal rotation for this heroine will look like this:
- Activate other supports' and sub-DDs' pocket abilities that strengthen the main damage dealer and allow for reactions.
- Switch to Kachina and immediately use her ult (if you have C2) or just activate her elemental skill.
- Switch to your main damage dealer and use his elemental attacks to create a Elemental Reaction: Crystallize reaction and gain the Artifact Set bonus.
- If you don't have C2, this is the moment to use your ult to deal extra Geo damage and buff your E in your second rotation.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Kachina
Using her unique abilities, this heroine can deal damage from the pocket and strengthen her allies. Her advantages also include:
- Turbo Vortex can exist on its own even when Kachina isn't on the battlefield, allowing it to deal Geo damage and create a Elemental Reaction: Crystallize reaction with just a single button press, making its gameplay incredibly easy to master.
- She is an optimal wearer of the "Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City" set, turning her into an excellent support, capable of significantly increasing the damage dealt by allies.
- Pairs well with Cryo, Pyro, Electro and Anemo characters that can summon Elemental Reaction: Crystallize.
- She does not require constellations to effectively perform her primary role.
- Makes exploring Natlan much easier, allowing you to cover distances and climb cliffs faster. Makes it easier to find local curiosities by showing their locations on the minimap.
However, it is still impossible to call Kachina an ideal character, since she also has certain disadvantages:
- Without using the "Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City" he doesn't grab the stars from the sky, becoming an ordinary 4-star character in all respects.
- To realize the full potential of an elemental skill, you must be on the battlefield and activate the ult.
- The first will steal time from the main DD, and the second will require an increase in energy regeneration (in the absence of C1), which can complicate stat balancing.
- Doesn't work well with Dendro characters, and in mono-Geo packs will lose out to sub-DDs like Albedo or Tiori.
- The constellations as a whole turned out to be below average. With the exception of C2, there are no truly useful ones among them. Outside of Natlan, her usefulness in exploring new locations drops significantly, as she can only ride the storm for less than 10 seconds.
Best build for Kachina
The best weapon
When choosing a spear, priority should be given to those that increase defense, Obtaining Energy, critical hit chance, and critical damage. The table below shows the most interesting options.
| Name and rarity | Stats (level 1-90) | Passive ability |
|---|---|---|
|
Footprint of the Rainbow (spear) |
Attack Power: 42-510 Protection: 11-52% |
Using an elemental skill increases defense by 16-32% for 15 seconds. At the moment, it is the optimal spear for Kachina, as it allows you to significantly increase her defense, and therefore the damage from all abilities. Plus, its passika is easy to activate. In addition, you can easily get this weapon by crafting. |
|
Deathmatch (4 stars) |
Critical Hit Chance: 8%~36.8% Base Attack: 41~454 |
When there are two or more enemies nearby, the character's attack and defense increases by 16 percent, and if there are fewer, the attack power increases by 24 percent. The best option for sub-DD, as it increases crits, increasing Kachina's personal damage, and gives her the protection she needs if fighting a group of enemies. The only downside is that you can only get it from a paid battle pass. |
|
Favonius Lance (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 6.7%~30.6% Base Attack: 44~565 |
Critical hits have a 60% chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 energy. The effect occurs once every 12 seconds. This spear will allow Kachina to use her ult every rotation even without C1 and will make it easier for the whole team to gain energy. A good choice for those who decide to focus on the heroine's support abilities, or rather, activating the passive "Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City". |
|
“The Catch” (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 10%~45.9% Base Attack: 42~510 |
A budget option that increases damage from an elemental explosion by 16 percent and the chance of a critical hit by 6 percent. Allows you to use your ult every rotation and significantly increases the damage it deals. This will slightly increase Kachina's effectiveness as a sub-DD. |
|
Prototype Starglitter (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 10%~45.9% Base Attack: 42~510 |
Using an elemental skill increases damage from normal and charged attacks by 8-16% for 12 seconds. The bonus can stack up to two times. Its main advantage is its availability, as you can easily craft it. It will allow you to use the ult every rotation. Otherwise, it will be useless for Kachina. |
Best Artifacts
We recommend taking artifacts that can increase the heroine's Obtaining Energy and/or defense, as well as give buffs to allies. The table below shows the best options.
| Artifacts | Bonuses | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
|
Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City |
2 parts: When a team member uses Night Spirit Flash, the wearer will recover 6 units of energy. 4 pieces: When the wearer activates a reaction related to their element, all party members gain a 12% bonus to the corresponding elemental damage related to reactions for 15 seconds. If the owner of the set is under the Blessing of the Night Spirit state when activating the said buff, all party members additionally gain a 28% bonus to elemental damage related to reactions for 20 seconds. This effect can occur even if the Achievement: Hero is not on the battlefield. Bonuses of the same-named artifact sets do not stack. |
The best option for Kachina. In fact, it is because of this that she will become a valuable member of many different squads, as it will allow her to significantly strengthen her allies, giving them a huge bonus to elemental damage. Plus, the heroine will be able to use the ult a little more often. |
|
Husk of Opulent Dreams |
2 parts: increases defense by 30 percent. 4 parts: can give the character the Curiosity effect. Its 1st level is issued after the active Achievement: Hero hits an enemy with a Geo attack (once every 0.3 seconds). If he is outside the battlefield, then the 1st level is issued once every 3 seconds. This effect can grow to level 4, and each level increases Geo damage and defense by 6 percent. If the fighter does not gain a new level of Curiosity within 6 seconds, then the effect will lose one level. |
If for some reason you decide to add Kachina to a mono-Geo pack, then instead of the previous set, you should take this set, which will significantly increase the heroine's personal Geo damage. |
|
Golden Troupe |
2 parts: Increases damage from elemental skills by 20%. 4 parts: increases damage from elemental skill by another 25%. If the owner is not on the battlefield, then the damage of E-shka increases by another 25%. 2 seconds after the character leaves the pocket, the bonus disappears. |
A good alternative to the previous set, capable of significantly enhancing Kachina's elemental skill, which is her main source of damage. You can take it instead of Cocoon if you have better stats. |
As for main characteristics of artifacts , then take the hourglass for defense (or Obtaining Energy, if there is an acute shortage of it), the cup (bowl) - for the Geo damage bonus, and the crown (hat) - for crit. chance / crit. damage in a ratio of 1 to 2. The priority of choosing secondary parameters is as follows: critical damage, crit chance, Obtaining Energy and defense.
If we talk about optimal indicators of the heroine's attributes , then they look like this:
- Protection: from 1800 units and above
- Critical Hit Chance: Ideally 60% or higher, but 45% will be enough
- Critical Damage: Ideally 120% or higher, but 90% will be enough
- Obtaining Energy: not less than 140%, even if the team has characters with Favonius and Geo "battery", and without them - not less than 180%
Best Teams for Kachina
If you plan to use Kachina only as a support with the "Scroll of the Hero of the Burned City", then in theory she can be used with almost any Cryo, Electro, Pyro or Anemo damage dealers, as she can effectively increase their elemental damage and deal more or less good Geo damage. At the same time, she will be best combined with the main DD from Natlan, as the squad will receive a lot of additional bonuses. For example, for now she can be taken with Mualani.
At the same time, you can easily combine Kachina with Geo damage dealers, for example, she will give a considerable boost to Navia, who is often combined with sub-DD and supports of other elements. You can also try to form an incomplete Geo pack, in which 3 heroes will belong to the Geo element, and the 4th - to another element to cause the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize reaction.
There is also the option to build a full-fledged mono-Geo pack, but in this case, instead of "Advisor" you should definitely take "Husk of Opulent Dreams" or "Golden Troupe" and try to maximize Kachina's personal damage. However, she will still lose to Tiori or Albedo as a sub-DD. The table below shows the optimal squad options.
