Kachina, a 4-star Geo polearm character from Natlan, is the first of her kind to be released in Genshin Impact. Since players receive her for free after completing Natlan’s first Archon Quest chapter, she will be available to more players than other 4-star characters.

Genshin Impact Kachina

If you want to use Kachina and make the most of her abilities, you'll need to level her up. This guide will show you all the materials required for her ascension and explain where and how to find them.

Local Specialty

Quenepa Berries are a local specialty from Natlan and are needed for Kachina’s ascension. You’ll need 168 of them in total!

These blueberries can be found around Coatepec Mountain and in the territory of the Scions of Canopy (Huitztlan) tribe, which is the Dendro tribe that Kinich belongs to.

Boss Drop

While searching for Quenepa Berries, make sure to challenge the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King boss. This boss drops Overripe Flamegranates, which are needed for Kachina’s ascension. Don’t forget to bring a Pyro character for this fight!

Enemy Drop

In Natlan, the local human enemy faction is the Sauroform Tribal Warriors. When defeated, they drop a special whistle that is used for both Kachina’s ascension and talent upgrades.

Sauroform Warriors can drop more valuable whistles at higher levels:

Talent Books - Conflict

Kachina's talent upgrades use the Conflict series. These can be obtained on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays in Natlan’s talent book domain, Blazing Ruins.

Trounce Materials - Fading Candle

To level up Kachina's talents, players will need to return to Fontaine for one of the materials: the Fading Candle. This item is dropped by The Knave during her boss fight in the Scattered Ruins trounce, which becomes accessible after completing Arlecchino's Story Quest.
