Kachina Genshin Impact Build Guide: Unleashing Her Full Potential

Kachina is a character you meet when you first visit Natlan in Genshin Impact. She’s a young fighter who uses a Geo Polearm and fights with her Turbo Twirly, which helps her deal Geo damage during battles. But watch out—playing with Turbo Twirly can be so fun that you might get distracted and not focus on fighting the enemies.

Kachina works as a Sub-DPS and Support character who can boost her team a lot if you know how to use her well. This guide will show you the best way to build Kachina in Genshin Impact.

Kachina Genshin Impact: Best Artifacts

Kachina is a Geo character who can deal damage even when she’s not on the field by using her Elemental Skill. To get the most out of her, you should equip her with the full 4-piece Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set. This set gives her a powerful buff when used properly. It works well with Kachina because she quickly activates Nightsoul’s Blessing when she uses her Elemental Skill.

To get the big buff from the set, make sure Kachina triggers a Crystalize reaction with the main DPS you want to boost. For instance, if you have Mualani and Kachina on the same team, and you use Kachina’s Elemental Skill on an enemy that’s affected by Hydro, it will increase both Kachina’s and Mualani’s Geo and Hydro damage by 40%. This is very helpful for boosting any DPS.

If you haven't obtained the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City or prefer a simpler buff, consider using the 4-piece Noblesse Oblige set for Kachina. This set is ideal for any Support character in Genshin Impact. Both Noblesse Oblige and the 4-piece Tenacity of the Millelith set increase the team's ATK% by 20% when their conditions are met. Keep in mind that this buff only benefits DPS characters who scale with ATK.

Finally, because Kachina’s Support role doesn’t scale with her stats and she has good DEF scaling for her DPS, it’s best to focus on building her with DEF, Geo DMG, and Crit to maximize her abilities. Also, prioritize Energy Recharge to ensure she can use her Elemental Burst frequently.

Kachina Genshin Impact: Best Weapons

Although there aren’t many Polearms that suit characters who rely on DEF%, the Footprint of the Rainbow is an excellent choice for Kachina in Genshin Impact. This weapon provides a significant amount of DEF% through its Sub-stats and gives an additional DEF% boost when using her Elemental Skill.

Alternatively, you can focus on Energy Recharge to make sure Kachina can frequently use her Elemental Burst. The Favonius Lance is a good choice for this, as it helps her generate Energy for her team. The Catch, on the other hand, boosts the damage of her Elemental Burst. If you don’t have these weapons, you can use Rightful Reward as a temporary option until you find better ones. Additionally, Kachina can also use any Crit Rate or Crit DMG weapon, or something like Engulfing Lightning, if you have it available.
