Is Kachina Truly "Broken?" | Genshin Impact 5.0 Gameplay Analysis

So excited for this video!!!

It's good to invest in her but she'll likely never in BIS after we get other users of the set

I personally don’t see any issue with the artifact thing. Name one anemo support not married to VV. Same principle.

Turbo Twirly does not work on Liyue pressure plates, if anyone’s curious

for exploration yes

Yes but can the other units breakdance?

Not a dig but i think this video is so funny. It comes across as a really, for lack of a better word, copium defense for her. She's not that great a character in any regard and will be replaced by they who shall not be named.

But on a seperate note, one thing that really stuck out to me was the "being geo is good for her and the set actually" thing because... no its not. It only really benefits geo characters and only geo characters that want to slot in other element characters. Anemo is a much better choice for support to have on it.

Presumably, a bit later in 4.0, we'll get a 5 star that fits a similar role while also providing more substantial team buffs and more consistency at the same buffs. Nahida comes to mind for Collei. Kinda Lynnette too but her replacements came before she released. Not really worth investing in since she doesn't need to be levelled to use the artifact set and I'll replace her soon enough.
Leak spoilers:

Totally definitely not talking about Xilonen btw.... for sure.

Kachina may not be broken but she's better than my c2 Albedo (sadly). It's certainly better than Furina/Albedo/Chiori/Noelle since Kachina grants 40% geo dmg bonus and hydro dmg bonus. She will inevitably get replaced by Xilonen but, like dendro traveler, she's a good option for when I don't get Xilonen.

a great thing about this is she’s super easy to build. just slap any 4pc cinder and u get a f2p kazuha

I really would like a confirmation on this but ther C6 seems pretty cracked to me. (I wont have it for awhile since im skipping mullani)

She could be off field and provide 200% of her defense from off field followed by immediately applying geo and likely causing another crystalize. This would theoretically mean that after the first Geo application she is an off field Geo/shield applier as well. I didn't even notice the new set at first and I was just using her as an exploration character with Husk of Opulent Dreams.

Personally I love the flavor of the new set. It means that:
With VV Anemo is thematically the "Agressive / Control" support and,
With CC (Natlan) Geo is thematically the "Defensive" support.

Its really just too bad that this wasn't a Geo speciific set that was unrelated to Natlan characters since its the buff Geo needed and deserved.

"It's not a good thing if a character's value comes from a piece of gear."
90% of anemo characters: 🤷‍♂️

Her only really good use at the moment is to be a F2P crystallise generator for Navia, specifically for anyone who doesn’t have Albedo or Chiori. As there aren’t many easily accessible off-field Geo units.

And with Xilonen coming up there’s a chance that Kachina could be replaced super quickly and easily.

As a proud Noelle main, I love the team suggestion at the end there. But unfortunately, Kachina is competing with Navia for that slot in my team. 40% damage bonus just can't compete with Navia's quickswap damage potential.

Though, now I think on it, she would be buffing Furina as well...further testing required.

I'm very confused why the artifact set specifically works for her vs other units though, wouldn't any natlan support work the same way?

She's a placeholder for xilonen. Everything she does, exploration included, xilonen does better. 😂

She’s fine. I just will level her up to 80/90 to not die during battles.
She’s very useful for exploration. That’s pretty much it for me and that’s fine.

you’re so cool i always look forward to your video drops

My kachina is C6, and with Navia, her C6 passive turns all crystallized reaction to mini bomblets, it's super fun.

She holds the new set until somebody else, who knows until when 😂.

I do think the same thing but for someone whos a noelle main who skip albedo and got skipped by chiori, i do think kachina is the most perfect pair for my noelle at this time. I can build her sub dps and can still support the team with gorou. I really appreciate you mentioning noelle synergy with her, coz for a while I thought i was the only person that came up to this idea mainly because few players main noelle

As long as she can be a hyperbloom driver she's good

and don't forget the Natlan exploration part! I'm building her because I want her in my team, and I want her in my team because she makes exploration easier (I'm skipping Mualani and Kinich)

Kachina with cinder with another with petra, the crystallized element gains massive 75% elemental damage bonus.

I have a vid where how kachina and kazuha buffed my neuvi elemental damage that he needs since he is using hp goblet, needless to say i was impressed by the buffs along with furina as a sub dps i have it at the build showcase what was the difference in terms of stats
