Overview

  • On-field main damage dealer
  • Multi-element damage

Chasca is an Anemo bow user who fights from the air. Her Elemental Skill puts her in Nightsoul's Blessing, and while flying her held attack loads up to six Shadowhunt Shells and fires them at chosen targets. Some of those shells turn into Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro based on who else is in the party, and her passive makes them stronger for each different element you bring. Almost all of her damage counts as Charged Attack damage.

That makes team building the key part of her build. Fill the other three slots with Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro characters, ideally of different elements, so more shells convert and hit harder. Build her for ATK and crits, and lean on CRIT DMG because her best set gives a large amount of CRIT Rate.

Weapons

Best first. Every bow on this list links to its page.

  1. Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage ★★★★★

    Her signature bow. It raises Charged Attack damage when teammates have different elements, which describes every good Chasca team.

  2. Aqua Simulacra ★★★★★

    A large CRIT DMG stat and a flat damage bonus that needs nothing special to trigger.

  3. Flower-Wreathed Feathers ★★★★

    A 4-star from the weapon banner. Its Charged Attack damage bonus builds while she aims her shots, and ATK on the main stat suits her.

  4. Chain Breaker ★★★★

    Gives ATK for each teammate from Natlan or of a different element, so it is close to fully active in her usual teams.

  5. Song of Stillness ★★★★

    A damage boost after she is healed. Pick it if your team has a healer who reaches her.

Artifact sets

  1. Obsidian Codex 4-piece

    Her best set by a clear margin. She spends Nightsoul points constantly while flying, so the CRIT Rate bonus is up almost all the time.

  2. Marechaussee Hunter 4-piece

    Its 2-piece boosts Charged Attacks, and the 4-piece CRIT Rate works when someone like Furina keeps changing her HP.

Teams

  • Iansan, Durin and Nicole

    Durin brings Pyro to convert her shells while Iansan converts Electro. Iansan and Nicole both raise the ATK of the active character, so Chasca gets two ATK buffs at once. A strong top-end team for her.

  • Ororon, Furina and Bennett

    Electro, Hydro and Pyro give three different conversions. Bennett heals and buffs, and Ororon adds damage when Nightsoul Bursts happen.

  • Melt

    Cryo and Pyro shells react with each other on the same targets. Citlali also lowers enemy resistances.

Tips

  • Hold the attack button while flying to load the full six shells. A tap shot does far less damage.
  • Her passive counts different elements, not characters. Two teammates of the same element give fewer bonus stacks than two of different elements.
  • Anemo, Geo and Dendro teammates cannot convert any shells, so use those slots sparingly.
  • Watch her Nightsoul points. Landing with the held skill ends Nightsoul's Blessing, so plan when to drop down.

Other character guides recommend Chasca as a teammate in these teams.
