Kachina is a brand new unit in Genshin Impact and here are her best Artifacts, weapons, and team comp for optimal performance.
Kachina is the first new 4-star unit in Natlan and several players will be looking to get her in version 5.0. This is mainly because of the Nightsoul mechanic that helps increase the damage output of Natlan characters.
