Kachina build guide · GenGuru: Your guru for Genshin Impact

Overview

Off-field Geo damage
Geo Construct

Kachina is a Natlan support who scales on DEF. Her skill summons Turbo Twirly, which stays on the field and slams the ground for Geo damage at intervals while she is off the field. Turbo Twirly counts as a Geo Construct. Her burst deals Geo damage and creates a field that enlarges Turbo Twirly's attacks. After party members trigger a Nightsoul Burst her Geo damage rises, and The Weight of Stone adds damage based on her DEF to Turbo Twirly.

Build her for DEF, Geo damage and crits. Use her skill, let Turbo Twirly work, and swap to your main character. As a 4-star with simple gear needs, she is a good starting point for Geo and Natlan teams.

Artifact sets

Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City 4-piece
The team pick in Natlan teams. It triggers on Crystallize, so it needs a Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo teammate and does nothing in pure Geo teams. The bonus is larger while she is in Nightsoul's Blessing.
Golden Troupe 4-piece
For her own damage. Turbo Twirly is skill damage, and the bonus grows while she is off the field.
Husk of Opulent Dreams 4-piece
More DEF and Geo damage, and it stacks while she is off the field. A good choice in Geo-focused teams.

Tips

Turbo Twirly fights on its own, so use her skill and swap out instead of riding it in combat.
Her burst calls Turbo Twirly back to her side, which helps when it is attacking the wrong target.
Nightsoul Bursts from teammates raise her Geo damage, so she is at her best next to other Natlan characters.
