What element is Kachina?

Kachina is a 4-star Geo character from Natlan who uses a polearm, released in version 5.0.

What stat does Kachina scale on?

Kachina's abilities multiply DEF. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Kachina?

Bloodsoaked Ruins is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star polearm with CRIT Rate as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on DEF. Footprint of the Rainbow is the best 4-star alternative.

How much does it cost to level Kachina's talents?

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Conflict among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Kachina C1 do?

Shards Are Gems Too: 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, or triggers Lunar-Crystallize reactions, 3 Energy will be restored to Kachina. Energy can be restored this way once every 5s.

Kachina build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Bloodsoaked Ruins is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Kachina's kit multiplies DEF, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Crimson Moon's Semblance, Footprint of the Rainbow and Primordial Jade Winged-Spear come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Kachina, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Archaic Petra on Kachina, with Husk of Opulent Dreams and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are DEF% sands, Geo DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > DEF% > Energy Recharge.

Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 70 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Skill

Go, Go Turbo Twirly!

Fight alongside the turbo trusty Turbo Twirly! Summons Turbo Twirly. When the skill is Held and released, Kachina will summon and ride Turbo Twirly. After the Skill is used, Kachina will gain 60 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state.

Nightsoul's Blessing: Kachina Turbo Twirly's various actions consume Kachina's Nightsoul points. The Nightsoul's Blessing state will end when 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, "Go, Go Turbo Twirly!", will change to an option to Mount/Dismount Turbo Twirly. · When present independent of Kachina, it will slam the ground at intervals, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Geo DMG based on Kachina's DEF. · When Kachina is riding Turbo Twirly, she can control it to move and climb swiftly, and use Normal Attacks to slam the ground, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Geo DMG based on Kachina's DEF.

Turbo Twirly will disappear once Kachina's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends, and it is considered a Geo Construct. Only 1 Turbo Twirly created by Kachina herself can exist on the field at any one time.

Turbo Twirly only looks like a top — it is, in fact, a drill that can split even the strongest rock asunder!

Burst

Time to Get Serious!

Striking the ground, Kachina deals AoE Geo DMG based on her DEF and creates a Turbo Drill Field. The Field increases Turbo Twirly's attack AoE and its Movement SPD when Kachina is riding it.

If Kachina's own Turbo Twirly is present when this is used, the Turbo Twirly will be summoned to her side.

Just as nervous performers might imagine audience members as wooden puppets, Kachina imagines that her opponents are the loveliest of gem-bearing ores — the kind you'd be proud to bring home and hoard.
