Kachina
Kachina is an easy-to-get 4-star Geo support (free from the story) and a great pick for new players building a Geo team. Her real value comes from a 4pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, turning her into a budget RES-shred and buff bot, a mini Xilonen. She scales on DEF, so stack DEF% plus enough Energy Recharge to fire her Burst. The ideal weapon is Footprint of the Rainbow (with DEF%); without it, an energy-giving Favonius Lance or the craftable Prospector's Drill still work. Treat her as a utility support, not a main damage carry.

Kachina's talents
Cragbiter
Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Go, Go 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!
Time to Get Serious!
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.
Mountain Echoes
The Weight of Stone
Night Realm's Gift: Heart of Unity
While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, she 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, the following will trigger when switching to Kachina: 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 10s by your own team.
Additionally, while in Natlan, Kachina will consume 90% less Stamina when climbing while riding Turbo Twirly.
Boon of Crystal Flame
Combat Rotation
- Before engaging, cast Burst "Time to Get Serious!" (costs 70 energy, 18s CD) to lay down the Turbo Drill Field, buffing Turbo Twirly's AoE range and move speed while ridden.
- Hold Skill "Go, Go Turbo Twirly!" (20s CD, no energy cost) to summon and mount Turbo Twirly, gaining 60 Nightsoul points and entering Nightsoul's Blessing.
- While riding inside the Field, slam the ground repeatedly with Twirly's attacks for AoE Geo DMG scaling off DEF, until the 60 Nightsoul points run out.
- Once Nightsoul depletes you auto-dismount — Turbo Twirly then exists independently, slamming the ground on its own cycle for DEF-scaled Geo DMG while the Field is still up.
- Swap in your main DPS to stand inside the Field for its buffs (and, with Constellation 3, extra DMG% based on enemies caught in the field).
- Have Kachina throw in extra Normal/Charged Attacks when useful, then fall back to wait out cooldowns.
- Once Skill (20s) and Burst (70 energy/18s) are both ready, repeat the loop; since Burst costs a hefty 70 energy, you need solid Energy Recharge to keep looping smoothly — Kachina functions as a DEF-scaled Geo sub-DPS/support rather than a main carry.
Kachina constellations
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.
When Kachina uses "Time to Get Serious!", she will regain 20 Nightsoul points. If there is no Turbo Twirly belonging to her on the field, she will enter Nightsoul's Blessing and summon one.
Increases the Level of Go, Go Turbo Twirly! by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When there are 1/2/3/4 (or more) opponents within the Turbo Drill Field created by "Time to Get Serious!", the active character within the field gains 8%/12%/16%/20% increased DEF.
Increases the Level of Time to Get Serious! by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When your active character's Shield is replaced or destroyed for any reason, Kachina will deal 200% of her DEF as AoE Geo DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 5s.

Voice Lines & Comments
Birthday
Happy birthday! This is for you. It's a pika carved from Iridescent Opal. Iridescent Opal's quite warm to the touch, but it doesn't really stand out, so it's easy to miss it underground. The more you carry it with you, though, the shinier it gets! It's one of my favorite gems, so I hope you'll like it too.
Self-Introduction
Hello
Hello! I'm Kachina, a member of the Children of Echoes. I adore Grainfruits and would love to become more strong, even though I'm still not much of a fighter. Uh... I should probably save all that for later, right? Then, um... Are you hoping to go somewhere? I'm pretty familiar with these parts, so I can show you the way!
About Kachina: Turbo Twirly
Ayo and I came up with the name together! I had already decided on the first part, "turbo," and then I chose "twirly" because I noticed it looked a lot like Ayo in action. I often race against Ayo on it, and I've even won!
About Kachina: Dying
Falling in battle during the Night Warden Wars is an honor for the warriors of Natlan. As one of their number, I should feel the same. But while I was down there, even as I kept repeating that to myself, I was still terrified the whole time... I'm really grateful that you took such a huge risk to go to the Night Kingdom and bring me back... *sniffle* Really, I can't thank you enough!
More About Kachina: I
"Uthabiti" is my Ancient Name — it means the ability to stay strong in the face of adversity. *sigh* But I often wonder why the Wayob decided to give the name to me. I'm so weak, and whether at home or among the tribe, few people even know of me... With so many strong and cool people around me, am I really worthy of the name?
More About Kachina: II
My family, huh... I'm the middle child of my family. My Dad's placed most of his hopes on my older sister, and my Mom has to spend a lot of time taking care of my younger sister. Our life isn't exactly easy, so I've got to be a good girl, and grow up quickly... Or at the very least, make sure they won't have to constantly worry about me.
More About Kachina: III
Uncle Pacal is really nice to me! Whenever other people in the tribe talk bad about me, he always defends me. Still... I feel bad whenever he has to do that. After all, I need to win everyone's respect with my own hands...
More About Kachina: IV
I've always known that crying won't solve anything, and I've never heard a legend talk about the hero crying in front of their friends, either. I really want to hold back my tears, but I just can't... Huh? It's okay? Tears are a good way to let out your emotions? Do... Do you really think so? *sniffle* Thank you, thank you... Oh no, why am I crying again?
More About Kachina: V
I've always thought that it was only natural for me to be overlooked because I was weak. Now that I've talked with the Wayob though, I've changed my mind. "Uthabiti" is my Ancient Name, and I've... I've decided to become the best "me" I can be. There have to be things in this world that only I can accomplish. I will... keep striving. I hope this obsidian will one day hold a record of my deeds and become... even more radiant and dazzling.
About Us: Legends
There are a lot of legends about heroes in Natlan, and my favorite is the one about Lord Traore! How incredibly cool is it to be able to seal the Abyss beneath the ground as an ordinary mortal? Oh, that reminds me... you've been to a bunch of countries in Teyvat, so you must know a lot of legends, right? I'm super curious... Could you tell me some of them when you can find the time?
About Us: Small Gift
Please pick one you like! Just think of it as a symbol of our friendship. I've brought all of my best and shiniest ores, so come on, take one! I'll be really happy if you do!
Thoughts About Other Characters
Mualani
Mualani's my first good friend! Before I met her, I never even knew that people as sweet as her existed, or how many fun things there are in the world! Look, this is a photo of us! She said we should jump right when they took the photo... I look a bit stiff? Hehe, you caught me! A lot of people were staring at us when we took this photo, so I was really nervous...
Kinich
It was Mualani who introduced me to him! To be honest, I was a little scared of him at first, because his eyes... well, he's got a scary look. It was only later that I found out that he secretly taught my bullies a lesson. But when I tried to give him a gift to thank him, he refused to take it. He said something along the lines of having already received enough compensation...
Chasca
She's a famous "peacemaker" in Natlan! They say she can resolve any conflict, no sweat. I guess that she probably does it because like me, she's really not a fan of people getting into fights with each other...
Iansan
Before, when I wanted to become stronger, I asked Iansan to train me. She had me do all sorts of high-intensity workouts, and I often only managed to get through them by pushing myself to the limit. Luckily, she always knew just the right amount of training for me, so I still had just enough energy to make my way home after each session... I'm really grateful to her.
Citlali
Mualani told me that you were only able to save me thanks to her invention, so I have to accept my share of the responsibility for the destruction of the Spiritspeaker Stone. I worked up the courage to apologize to her in person, and asked her to pick a few rocks from my collection as repayment. She scratched her head and said, "Well, it'll become an issue if I don't pick one, won't it? Then... We'll be even as long as I pick something reasonably similar, right?" In the end, she waved me off after taking the most unremarkable piece of obsidian I had. What do you think? Should I try to get her something else? Do you know the kind of thing she likes?
Xilonen
After I received my Ancient Name, Uncle Pacal took me to see her and asked her to make Turbo Twirly for me. Her craftsmanship really is out of this world! Later, we discussed our experiences collecting and storing gems, and even admired each other's collections. Everything in her collection is in top condition, so she must take great care of them. She seems to take a more... casual approach to her own life, though... Once, I went looking for her, and couldn't find her for ages! I eventually found her basking in the sunshine in a big tree, sound asleep...
Ifa
Ifa's a really amazing sauro-vet! Any little Saurian who sees him comes back and starts living a healthy life! They eat right, sleep well, don't cause trouble, and basically don't get sick again! So whenever a Saurian's looking sick, everyone's first thought is to ask him to fly over and have a look!
Hobbies & Personality
Kachina's Hobbies
This is the first gem I found. It's such a pretty shade of green, don't you think? It was originally one half of a pair, but I gave the other one to Mualani. Look, the pattern on it looks just like flowing water! Oh, and this one, too — it might look black at first glance, but put it under the sun, and you'll see all kinds of a rainbow of color! Hehe, I built this collection, one stone at a time!
Kachina's Troubles
Mualani gave me a huge hat once. It was super cool, and was perfect for blocking the sun, so I really loved it. Over time, though, it kind of turned into a felt hat... In the end, I had to get this hat instead, just because Saurian fur won't get stuck to it.
Favorite Food
I love Grainfruit Chips! I would love them even more if they could be stacked neatly into a tower.
Least Favorite Food
Huh!? Is this really just one portion? But if I don't finish the whole thing, won't I have let the chef's hard work go to waste? I—It's alright, I'll finish the whole thing! Small bites, Kachina, small bites...
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
Are my ears... trembling? No, I'm not nervous... I'm just really happy. Sorry, but I can't really control them, they're way too excited right now. Here, I'll... let me just cover them up.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
You really care a lot about me... *sniffle* Ugh, I didn't mean to cry, but I'm just... so touched by your kindness.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
"Though the court burned to rubble, the flame never once went out. It shall reignite the next morn, more radiant than afore." This is one of my favorite quotes from Lord Traore. I—I must keep working hard!
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
You've shown me all kinds of new and fascinating things, and really helped me to grow... I have no idea how I could ever repay you, but I want to find the answer by myself. So from now on, please allow me to be the hero... the hero that protects you!
Receiving a Gift
Receiving a Gift: I
Whoa, is this for me? It's super delicious! I'm going to eat slowly, so I can savor every bite...
Receiving a Gift: II
The taste, the aroma, the presentation... everything about this dish is marvelous! If there's ever a cook-off, I'm sure you'd win!
Receiving a Gift: III
Thank you for taking the time to make something for me! I—I promise that I'll finish this. Just... give me a few more minutes!

Strengths & Weaknesses
- At Lv90, Kachina already gets +24% Geo DMG Bonus baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
- Can shield the team via This Time, I've Gotta Win.
- The core mechanic (via Go, Go Turbo Twirly!) scales with DEF — DEF% is a rarely-contested artifact substat, usually easy to roll extra of.
- 4★ (Polearm) — obtainable via the standard wish/banner, no need to pull on a limited banner.
- Since it scales with DEF (via Go, Go Turbo Twirly!), most teammates' ATK%/EM buffs are nearly useless on it — needs its own dedicated DEF gear/weapon.
- The ascension stat isn't CRIT Rate/DMG — this kit isn't built to carry the team's main damage, fitting a support/sub-DPS role better than a main carry.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
