Get the best build for this free four-star drill rider.
The best Kachina build in Genshin Impact will make sure you can bring out the spin-to-win power of Kachina and her Beyblade. She’s got the potential to be an impressive free character, and also one that’ll help you ease into the new Natlan mechanics.
Kachina looks to be a good sub-DPS, and a character we’ll all be getting a copy of for free when she launches alongside the first part of the 5.0 patch. Because we’re all getting her, and geo is woefully low on characters, I figured I’d help you build her right so you’re not disappointed.
The best Kachina build

Kachina is an off-field DPS character who can do a solid job of supporting her team using Crystallize, which should mean she can fit into teams alongside a powerful character like Navia. Her kit is mostly focused on using her skill and burst to deal damage to enemies. She can also ride on her Turbo Twirly to get around faster.
She’s a solid option for AoE attacks in general, and scales with defense, too, meaning she could work well alongside Gorou and Itto. Basically, she’s the most exciting geo four-star character we’ve seen in a long-time, though that isn’t hard given that she’s also the only geo four-star character we’ve seen since early 2022.
Weapon: Footprint of the Rainbow or Favonius Lance
The new Footprint of the Rainbow polearm, which is a Natlan craftable weapon, should be pretty good for Kachina. Not only does it have defense as a substat, which she primarily scales with, but it further boosts her defense whenever she uses her elemental skill. Definitely a very good shout for her.
However, you can also just give her the Favonius Lance and call it a day. This weapon gives her energy regen, and will help her generate energy particles when she crits. It’s one of the best weapons in the game and is used by a lot of characters, so you’ll also likely have one levelled up and ready to go.
Artifacts: Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (four-pieces equipped)
Kachina’s best artifact set should be the new Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City. This is a 5.0 set that grants the character additional energy when they trigger a Nightsoul Burst. Along with that, it also boosts the elemental damage bonus of nearby teammates as well, and allows them to trigger this effect off-field. This really ties into her being a sub-DPS and support character.
Kachina’s damage scales off of her defense, outside of her normal attacks anyway, which you won’t be wanting to use as much. Because of that, you’re going to want as much defense as you can manage, as well as some energy recharge for her ultimate, as it can deal also decent damage, especially at C6. Then you’ll want crit stats as is the norm. Below is what I recommend for primary stat boosts on your artifacts:

Let’s take a look at Kachina’s abilities. We want to say a big thank you to Honey Hunter here, because they’re here for all of us.

To level up Kachina to the maximum level, you’ll need all of the items listed below. This list doesn’t take into account EXP books, so just hoard a bunch.
Prithiva Topaz (one Sliver, six Gemstones, nine Fragments, nine Chunks)18 Sentry’s Wooden Whistle30 Warrior’s Metal Whistle36 Saurian-Crowned Warrior’s Golden Whistle46 Overripe Flamegranate168 Quenepa Berry420,000 Mora
You can get Prithiva Topaz pieces by beating up any geo boss, with the three simplest options being the Geo Hypostasis, Golden Wolflord, and Experimental Field Generator. For the Whistles, you’ll need to farm a new enemy called Sauroform Tribal Warriors in Natlan. Likewise, the Overripe Flamengranate can be earned by defeating the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King, but at least you can get three each time with the new world level.
Finally, the Quenepa Berries can also be found in Natlan on Coatepec Mountain, and below the Scions of the Canopy.
