Talent Priority
Start Kachina's talent materials on Elemental Skill; it's what you actually press every rotation.
Level Kachina's Elemental Burst after the priority talent; it smooths rotations and secondary damage.
Kachina's Normal Attack can sit low; it barely moves clear times versus their other talents.
Substat Priority
Cast Skill then Burst each rotation.
Follow the recommended rotation for optimal Kachina performance.

Sustain
Kachina can be a great support in teams that focus on Geo using characters such as Arataki Itto or Noelle who perform great with other Geo characters. Because Kachina needs Crystallize to occur, a non-Geo character is needed for reactions.
Itto serves as the primary Geo carry, utilizing Kachina’s Geo constructs and buffs to fuel his high-scaling Charged Attacks.
Gorou provides essential DEF and Geo DMG bonuses that scale with the number of Geo party members, boosting both Itto and Kachina.
Kachina acts as a sub-DPS and support, triggering the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set to provide significant DMG bonuses for her Geo teammates.
Diona provides a shield to maintain Geo Resonance and offers healing, while her Cryo application allows Kachina to trigger Crystallize for artifact buffs.
Talents & Constellations
Talents
Kachina performs a sequence of Polearm-based Normal Attacks.
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!
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, Turbo Twirly will be summoned to her side.
Constellations
When Kachina mounts or dismounts Turbo Twirly, she will absorb Elemental Shards created by Crystallize. Additionally, when a party member picks up such a Shard, 3 Energy will be restored to Kachina. Energy can be restored this way once every 5s.

Alternatives to Kachina
Not sure Kachina is right for you? Compare against other characters to find your best pull.
Ningguang answers with Jade Screen (creates a Jade Screen out of gold, obsidian and her great opulence, dealing AoE Geo DMG). That's a Main DPS answer, while Kachina is built as a Sub-DPS.
Where Noelle goes hard is Breastplate: it summons protective stone armor, dealing Geo DMG to surrounding opponents and creating a shield. Different job than Kachina's Sub-DPS slot — compare teams before swapping.
Chiori's Fluttering Hasode summons the automaton doll Tamoto beside her and sweep her blade upward, dealing AoE Geo DMG to. Competes with Kachina for the same seat; the better fit is the kit your roster already feeds.
Where Albedo goes hard is Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma: it creates a Solar Isotoma using alchemy, which deals AoE Geo DMG on appearance. Competes with Kachina for the same seat; the better fit is the kit your roster already feeds.
