Kachina Guide and Best Builds for Genshin Impact

Kachina is a Geo DEF scaling character who uses her Turbo Twirly to deal AoE damage to nearby opponents while also supporting your team.

BiS Weapon	Favonius Lance
Alternative Weapons	Footprint of the Rainbow Deathmatch "The Catch"
Best Artifacts	Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City Husk of Opulent Dreams Tenacity of the Millelith
Main Stats	Sand Stats: DEF % / Energy Recharge Goblet Stats: Geo DMG Circlet Stats: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG / DEF %
Substat Priority	Energy Recharge until requirements CRIT Rate / DMG DEF %
Talent Priority	Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Normal Attack

Kachina is extremely budget friendly weapon-wise as she is primarily built as a support character meaning you want weapons that help to buff her and the team. Favonius Lance tends to be her best option as it provides increased Energy Recharge which she needs a lot of and also decreases the requirements on her party. Footprint of the Rainbow is the new Natlan craftable weapon and is her best option for her personal damage instead.

Kachina mainly exists to bring some damage while also carrying the effects of the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, this provides huge damage buffs for the team while in the Nightsoul Blessing State which she often is.

If Kachina is being played in non-Geo teams, you will want an Energy Recharge Sands but with other Geo characters a DEF % sands is your best option. Kachina wants around 200-230% Energy Recharge without Geo teammates and 150-180% with Geo.

Kachina is incredibly simple to play, use Go, Go Turbo Twirly! to place the Turbo Twirly and then swap to your other teammates. An important thing to know is that Time to Get Serious! increases the AoE of Turbo Twirly which can be incredibly useful.

Kachina's Rotation depends on if you have Never Leave Home Without... Turbo Twirly (C2) or not. This is because C2 regains Nightsoul Points instead of increasing the cap which therefore means you need to spend some Nightsoul to have room to gain it back.

• C0/1 - Supports > Skill > Burst > Swap to DPS
• C2+ - Skill > Supports > Burst > Swap to DPS

Using your skill before your supports at C2 is important to increasing her overall damage and benefits of having the Turbo Twirly out.

Being a Geo character, Kachina has a lot of Synergy with other Geo characters such as Chiori and Navia. Kachina can also be used in many non-Geo teams due to her versatility and what she brings as a support.

Main DPS	Support	Support	Crystallize
Arataki Itto	Gorou	Kachina	Diona Layla Sangonomiya Kokomi
Noelle	Gorou	Kachina	Furina Fischl Yelan

Kachina can be a great support in teams that focus on Geo using characters such as Arataki Itto or Noelle who perform great with other Geo characters. Because Kachina needs Crystallize to occur, a non-Geo character is needed for reactions.

In Itto teams, this is generally more of a shielder/healer whereas with Noelle you want SubDPS such as Fischl and Yelan, but Furina continues to be a great buffer for Noelle too.

Navia	Kachina	Xiangling	Bennett
Navia	Kachina	Furina	Sangonomiya Kokomi
Navia	Kachina	Rosaria	Layla
Navia	Kachina	Furina	Xianyun

Kachina Navia teams tend to work best with a Double Geo pairing and then 2 other characters for Crystallize to take place. Normally this is best with 2 characters of the same element for example Xiangling + Bennett but Furina + Xianyun instead provides a powerful plunge team which is one of Navia's best teams.

Arlecchino	Bennett	Kachina	Kaedehara Kazuha Emilie
Raiden Shogun	Kujou Sara	Kachina	Kaedehara Kazuha Baizhu

In non-Geo teams, Kachina needs increased Energy Recharge to ensure she can use her Elemental Burst every rotation. Rotation lengths and Energy Recharge requirements are going to change on a per-team basis. Listed above are some team examples but with Kachina being a Geo character she can be used in any team that needs a general buffer as you are mainly bringing Kachina for her artifact set.
