By herself, her raw personal damage is below average due to her scalings. However, she's currently the only user who can use the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City artifact set, which is a powerful supportive set that buffs both herself and her teammates' Elemental Damage. She is used as an alternative to Chiori or Albedo in their best teams if you don't have them

• Turbo Twirly is a flexible Elemental Skill that can be used in multiple use cases depending if Kachina needs to be On-Field or not. • Can be played with good effectiveness in both Geo-centric and Rainbow comps. • Turbo Twirly can be manually repositioned by Kachina herself. |

Weaknesses | |||

This build capitalizes on Kachina's Geo DMG potential by building her as a Sub-DPS that can sometimes take the field when casting her Elemental Burst.
Similar to other Geo Sub-DPS units, build Kachina with DEF% and CRIT stats in mind to take her personal damage further, but also allowing her to support the team using 4-pc. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City.
The Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set from Natlan is Kachina's best in slot if playing her in Rainbow teams, as she can consistently buff her team's Elemental DMG Bonus through it, as well as regain Elemental Energy.
If running her in Mono Geo though, 4-pc. Husk of Opulent Dreams is better due to the direct boost to her own personal DMG.

The new Natlan craftable weapon Footprint of the Rainbow is Kachina's best option due to it directly buffing her DEF% every time she summons Turbo Twirly.
Otherwise, you can opt to run any ER weapon that can lessen her energy requirements as there are not many options for weapons that buff DEF%.

Kachina is best played as an Off-Field Geo DMG dealer with the supportive capabilities that her Best-in-Slot Artifact Set provides.
With that, her ideal scenario is to be able to trigger Crystallize every 20s or so to keep up the buff uptime from Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City.

Along with Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, Kachina is best slotted into Rainbow teams where she can trigger Crystallize and boost her team's Elemental DMG by 40% consistently.

Kachina can function in Mono Geo teams due to both Geo Resonance and the presence of Gorou who buffs the team's DEF, allowing Kachina to do more damage especially when built well.
Take note that if you are running Kachina in this team, consider running her with 4-pc. Husk of Opulent Dreams as she cannot trigger Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City's 4-pc. passive effectively in a full Mono Geo.

C2 |
Never Leave Home Without... Turbo Twirly When Kachina uses "Time to Get Serious!", she will regain 20 Nightsoul points. If there is no Turbo Twirly belonging to her on the field, she will enter Nightsoul's Blessing and summon one. |

This Time, I've Gotta Win When your active character's Shield is replaced or destroyed for any reason, Kachina will deal 200% of her DEF as AoE Geo DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 5s. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C2 | ★★★ | • Allows Kachina to refresh Turbo Twirly using her Elemental Burst, ensuring a near 100% uptime on her Elemental Skill. |
C4 | ★★☆ | • Kachina's Elemental Burst increases the DEF% of her active ally depending on enemies caught within the field, making her a good support for DEF-scaling units. |
C6 | ★★☆ | • Grants a DEF-scaling shield break that can be triggered once every 5s, which should be frequent if the player picks up Crystallize shards. |

Normal Attack: Cragbiter |
---|
Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes.
Charge Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. |
Go, Go Turbo Twirly! |
---|
Fight alongside the turbo trusty Turbo Twirly! Summons Turbo Twirly. When the skill is Held and released, Kachina will summon and ride Turbo Twirly. After the Skill is used, Kachina will gain 60 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state.
Nightsoul's Blessing: Kachina Turbo Twirly's various actions consume Kachina's Nightsoul points. The Nightsoul's Blessing state will end when these points have been depleted. Turbo Twirly Can exist independently or be ridden and operated by Kachina. When Turbo Twirly is present, Kachina's Elemental Skill, "Go, Go Turbo Twirly!", will change to an option to Mount/Dismount Turbo Twirly. |
Kachina's Elemental Skill allows her to summon a Geo Drill that aids in either exploration or combat.
Depending on Kachina's use case, the Drill can either function on its own, or work as a tool she can use within the world.
Tapping Kachina's Elemental Skill summons the Drill, creating quakes that periodically deal damage over time.
Holding the Skill allows Kachina to mount the Geo Drill, letting her move freely while on it while picking when to do the quake attack.
Unlike the Skill Tap version of this ability, Kachina is noticeably able to attack more often this way.
Riding the Geo Drill also speeds up Kachina's movement speed, as well as scale up mountains with ease, making it a useful skill for exploration.
Time to Get Serious! |
---|
Striking the ground, Kachina deals AoE Geo DMG based on her DEF and creates a Turbo Drill Field. The Field increases Turbo Twirly's attack AoE and its Movement SPD when Kachina is riding it. If Kachina's own Turbo Twirly is present when this is used, the Turbo Twirly will be summoned to her side. |
Kachina's Elemental Burst slams Turbo Twirly down to create a circular Geo zone that enhances the frequency and range of Turbo Twirly's attacks while inside it.
This allows Kachina to take on more of an On-Field role while maintaining efficient DPS with Turbo Twirly's enhanced attacks.
Mountain Echoes |
---|
After nearby party members trigger a Nightsoul Burst, Kachina's Geo DMG Bonus increases by 20% for 12s. |
Due to how often Nightsoul Burst is triggered by allies and Kachina herself, she will often get the extra 20% Geo DMG Bonus at the start of fights.
If Kachina is paired with another Natlan character, the uptime of her A1 Passive becomes 100% as Nightsoul Bursts can be triggered every 12s with 2 Natlan characters in the party.
The Weight of Stone |
---|
Turbo Twirly's DMG is increased by 20% of Kachina's DEF. |
This gives a direct boost to Kachina's Elemental Skill damage by scaling it more with her DEF. She already has DEF-scaling on her abilities, so this is more of a cherry on top passive.
Night Realm's Gift: Heart of Unity |
---|
After her Nightsoul points are depleted, Kachina will switch to consuming Phlogiston to maintain her Nightsoul's Blessing. |
This passive affects Natlan characters by default, allowing them to use Phlogiston instead to power up their Nightsoul's Blessing.
Nightsoul's Blessing and Nightsoul Points are the fuel that characters like Kachina need in order to maintain key abilities like their Elemental Skills.
Nightsoul's Blessing and Burst Guide
Boon of Crystal Flame |
---|
While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, 20 Stamina will be restored when interacting with some harvestable items. Additionally, the location of nearby resources unique to Natlan will appear on your mini-map. |
Kachina's exploration passive gives the player an easy way to locate Regional Specialties in Natlan, allowing for ease of access to the materials when building for the new Natlan characters!

Kachina should have Phlogiston outside of Natlan, her drill is very very useful for exploration, like seriously, a "lot" better than Kirara since Kachina drills faster but uses Nightsoul very quick, so backup Phlogiston in her kit is seriously good for her making SS+ on Exploration in other nations aside from Natlan
