Kachina is a 4-Star Geo character who debuted Genshin Impact during version 5.0.

While Kachina will be featured as the boosted 4-Star character on Mualani's and Kazuha's Banners in version 5.0 (and you can get her for free by taking part in Natlan's Archon Quest), she will eventually be added to the standard Banner in Genshin Impact after 5.0, and also occasionally feature on future Banners as one of the boosted 4-Stars again.

If you want to prepare for if you get her, we've listed Kachina's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level her up to her full potential right away. To understand how you might play her, we've also detailed Kachina's kit and Constellations.

Kachina kit

Kachina is a 4-Star Geo character who uses a polearm, and here's a summary of Kachina's kit in Genshin Impact:

  • Element: Geo.
  • Rarity: 4-Star.
  • Weapon: Polearm.
  • Normal Attack: Cragbiter.
  • Elemental Skill: Go, Go Turbo Twirly!
  • Elemental Burst: Time to Get Serious!
  • Passive one: 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. While in an area with Phlogiston mechanics within Natlan, Kachina can use Nightsoul Transmission: Kachina. When the active character is currently sprinting, climbing, in a movement mode caused by certain Talents, or at a certain height in the air, Kachina will enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and ride Turbo Twirly when taking the field while gaining 30 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10 seconds by your own team. Additionally, while in Natlan, Kachina will consume 90% less stamina when climbing while riding Turbo Twirly.
  • Passive two: Mountain Echoes - After nearby party members trigger a Nightsoul Burst, Kachina's Geo Damage Bonus increases by 20% for 12 seconds.
  • Passive three: The Weight of Stone - Turbo Twirly's damage is increased by 20% of Kachina's defence.
  • Exploration bonus: Boon of Crystal Flame - While in an area with Phlogiston Devices within Natlan, interacting with some harvestable items can restore 20 points of Phlogiston. Additionally, the location of Natlan local speciality materials is displayed on the minimap.

Kachina Normal Attack - Cragbiter

Kachina performs up to four consecutive spear strikes if tapping the normal attack button. Holding it down instead makes Kachina consume stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.

As with most plunging attacks, Kachina strikes the ground below dealing AOE (area of effect) damage upon impact, and damaging any enemies caught on her path to the ground.

Kachina Elemental Skill - Go, Go Turbo Twirly!

Kachina Summons Turbo Twirly, and if the Skill button is held before using it, Kachina will summon and ride Turbo Twirly. Kachina also gains 60 Nightsoul points and enters her Nightsoul's Blessing state.

Her 'Nightsoul's Blessing: Kachina' makes Turbo Twirly's various actions consume Kachina's Nightsoul points, with this state lasting until 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 will change to Mounting/Dismounting Turbo Twirly options instead. When Turbo Twirly is present independent of Kachina, it will hit the ground at intervals, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AOE Geo damage based on Kachina's defence.

Alternatively, when Kachina is riding Turbo Twirly, she can control its fast movement, climb, and use her normal attack to hit the ground to deal Nightsoul-aligned AOE Geo damage based on her defence.

Turbo Twirly will disappear once Kachina's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends, and it is considered a Geo Construct. Only one Turbo Twirly can exist on the field at any one time.

Kachina Elemental Burst - Time to Get Serious!

Striking the ground, Kachina deals AOE Geo damage based on her defence, creating a Turbo Drill Field. The field will increase Turbo Twirly's attack AOE, and movement speed when Kachina is riding it. If Kachina's own Turbo Twirly is present when this is used, Turbo Twirly will be summoned to her side.

Kachina Talent materials

To get the most out of using Kachina, you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.

You need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for characters on Banners, and you always need the right Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners.


Kachina Ascension materials

Just like Talents, you need to use Kachina Ascension materials to upgrade her health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness, and you'll need to farm a lot of Quenepa Berry and Whistle materials for Kachina to fully upgrade her capabilities.

Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Kachina to her highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.

Here's what Kachina Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level:

Here are all of Kachina's Constellations in Genshin Impact:

  • Shards Are Gems Too (C1): When Kachina mounts or dismounts Turbo Twirly, she will absorb nearby Elemental Shards created by Crystallize. Additionally, when a party member picks up such a Shard, three Energy will be restored to Kachina, and Energy can be restored this way once every five seconds.
  • Never Leave Home Without... Turbo Twirly (C2): When Kachina uses her Elemental Burst, she will regain 20 Nightsoul points. If there is no Turbo Twirly belonging to her on the field, she also enters Nightsoul's Blessing and summon one.
  • Improved Stabilizer (C3): Increases the Level of Kachina's Elemental Skill by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
  • More Foes, More Caution (C4): When there are 1/2/3/4 (or more) opponents within the Turbo Drill Field created by Kachina's Elemental Burst, the active character within the field gains 8%/12%/16%/20% increased defence.
  • All I've Collected Till Now (C5): Increases the Level of Kachina's Elemental Burst by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
  • This Time, I've Gotta Win (C6): When your active character's shield is replaced or destroyed for any reason, Kachina will deal 200% of her defence as AOE Geo Damage, and this effect can be triggered once every five seconds.

Good luck levelling up Kachina in Genshin Impact!
