Kachina is a 4-star Geo polearm user from Natlan, introduced during the Natlan region update in Version 5.0.
A proud member of the Nanatzcayan tribe, she carries the Ancient Name “Uthabiti,” meaning Resilience.
Kachina can be obtained for free during the Natlan Archon Quest, making her highly accessible. Her playstyle revolves around DEF-scaling Geo damage, off-field utility, and Crystallize-based team support through her summon, Turbo Twirly.

Start by using Kachina’s Elemental Skill to summon Turbo Twirly, which deals AoE Geo damage and enables Crystallize reactions.
When held, she enters the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, enabling her to ride Turbo Twirly and buff the team. Her Elemental Burst enhances this state further.
She should be rotated in quickly for setup and swapped out to enable DPS teammates to benefit from shields and Geo application. Stack Energy Recharge and DEF% to maximize uptime and support potential.
