Genshin Impact Kachina Build Guide: Best Weapons, Artifacts and Teams

Best build for Kachina

In crafting Kachina's optimal build, the initial focus should be on securing an ideal weapon for her arsenal. Given that Kachina's skills are dependent on her DEF stat, the selection is somewhat limited. The quintessential choice for her is a 4-star polearm known as Footprint of the Rainbow. This polearm boasts a substantial base ATK of 510 (at level 90) complemented by an impressive 51.7% DEF sub-stat (also at level 90). Additionally, the polearm's special ability enhances the wielder's DEF by 16% for a duration of 15 seconds upon the activation of an Elemental Skill. This synergizes flawlessly with Kachina's reliance on a robust DEF for her combat prowess.

As a character whose abilities scale with DEF, Kachina employs her Elemental Skill and Burst, Turbo Twirly, to inflict sweeping Geo damage across the battlefield. With this in mind, her build should be strategically designed to solidify her role as a formidable Geo Sub-DPS in your team.

This strategy leverages Kachina's innate Geo damage capabilities, positioning her as a Sub-DPS who can step into the fray to unleash her Elemental Burst when needed.

Like her Geo Sub-DPS counterparts, focus on enhancing Kachina's DEF% and CRIT stats to amplify her personal damage output. This not only boosts her individual combat effectiveness but also equips her to contribute to the team dynamic through the 4-piece set bonus of the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City.

Best Artifacts for Kachina

The Natlan-origin set, Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, is the premier choice for equipping Kachina in Rainbow teams. This set consistently enhances her team's Elemental DMG Bonus, a boon for her Geo damage potential, while also aiding in the recovery of Elemental Energy.

However, when employing Kachina in a Mono Geo team composition, the 4-piece Husk of Opulent Dreams set emerges as the superior option. It provides a direct enhancement to her personal damage, optimizing her output in a team that focuses solely on her Geo abilities.

1. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City

2-PC : When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, the equipping character regenerates 6 Elemental Energy.

4-PC : After the equipping character triggers a reaction, all nearby party members gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for the involved Elemental Types for 15s. If the equipping character is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state when triggering this effect, gain an additional 28% Elemental DMG bonus for the Elemental Types involved in the reaction for 20s.

2. Husk of Opulent Dreams

2-PC : DEF +30%

4-PC : A character equipped with this Artifact set will obtain the Curiosity effect in the following conditions: When on the field, the character gains 1 stack after hitting an opponent with a Geo attack, triggering a maximum of once every 0.3s. When off the field, the character gains 1 stack every 3s. Curiosity can stack up to 4 times, each providing 6% DEF and a 6% Geo DMG Bonus. When 6 seconds pass without gaining a Curiosity stack, 1 stack is lost.

3. Golden Troupe

2-PC : Elemental Skill DMG +20%

4-PC : Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 25%. Additionally when not on the field, Elemental Skill DMG will be further increased by 25%. This effect will be cleared 2s after taking the field.

4. Defender's Will

2-PC : DEF +30%

4-PC : Increases Elemental RES by 30% for each element present among your characters in the party.

Best Weapons for Kachina

The newly crafted Natlan weapon, Footprint of the Rainbow, stands as Kachina's top choice for its unique ability to enhance her DEF% with each invocation of her Turbo Twirly skill.

In the absence of this weapon, selecting an Energy Recharge (ER) weapon becomes the next best alternative. This choice helps to mitigate her energy needs, given the limited availability of weapons that specifically boost DEF%.

1. Footprint of the Rainbow

Base ATK : 510

Bonus Stat : DEF 51.7%

Skill Effect : Using an Elemental Skill increases DEF by 16% for 15s.

2. Engulfing Lighting

Base ATK : 608

Bonus Stat : Energy Recharge 55.1%

Skill Effect : ATK increased by 28% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80% ATK. Gain 30% Energy Recharge for 12s after using an Elemental Burst.

3. Favonius Lance

Base ATK : 565

Bonus Stat : Energy Recharge 30.6%

Skill Effect : CRIT Hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12s .
