Are you excited about the upcoming addition of Chasca, the 5-star Anemo bow user, to Genshin Impact? Well, you’re not alone! If you’re already planning ahead to add her to your team and level her up to her full potential, you’ll want to start preparing the right ascension and talent materials now. While some of this information can be changed upon her official release, we can get a good idea of what to expect from this graceful yet fierce character. This guide will walk you through Chasca’s kit, ascension and talent materials, constellations, and more, so you’ll be ready to make the most of her abilities.

Chasca and Her Playstyle:

Chasca is inspired by the goddess of dawn and twilight in Incan mythology. Her design and abilities perfectly embody her role as a serene manipulator of winds, bringing a sense of elegance and grace to the battlefield. She has a unique playstyle that revolves around charging her Lunar Might, a special mechanic tied to the moon phases in the game. Her skill set includes an elegant balance of crowd control and burst damage, making her a versatile character suitable for both single-target and AoE (Area of Effect) damage situations.

Chasca’s Kit: Harnessing the Wind with Precision

Chasca’s playstyle revolves around her Nightsoul mechanics, making her one of the more intricate characters to master in Genshin Impact. Her abilities allow her to stay airborne, gain buffs, and deal damage while maintaining heightened mobility, all thanks to her unique Nightsoul points.

Normal Attack – Phantom Feather Flurry

Chasca’s normal attack allows her to fire up to four consecutive shots with her bow. By holding down the attack button, she can aim more precisely, charging her arrow with Anemo energy. When fully charged, this wind-infused arrow deals extra Anemo Damage. As with most bow users, Chasca also has a plunging attack that rains arrows down on enemies from mid-air, dealing AOE upon impact.

Elemental Skill – Spirit Reins, Shadow Hunt

Chasca’s Elemental Skill is where she really starts to shine. Upon activation, Chasca and the will within her weapon resonate, unleashing AOE Anemo Damage in her vicinity. This attack also grants Chasca 80 Nightsoul points and places her in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state.

Nightsoul’s Blessing allows Chasca to remain airborne, increasing her movement speed and making her more resistant to interruptions. While in this state, she consumes Nightsoul points to stay in the air, where she can perform unique attacks. If her Nightsoul points are depleted, or if the skill is reactivated, she exits this state. During Nightsoul’s Blessing, Chasca’s attacks change slightly, enabling her to perform Multitarget Fire, which gives you different options based on how you press the attack button.Tapping the button will let her deal Anemo Damage to enemies in front of her, while holding the button allows her to aim, choosing up to six targets in range. Chasca will fire Shadowhunt Shells at these selected targets, and the shells’ power is enhanced when charged for a longer time.

One of the most fascinating aspects of her Multitarget Fire ability is how it interacts with your party composition. Depending on the Elemental Types of the other characters in your party, Chasca’s Shadow hunt Shells can undergo an Elemental Conversion. This means that for every Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro character in your party, one of her Shadowhunt Shells will convert into a Shining Shadowhunt Shell, which deals Elemental Damage of the corresponding type in addition to her Anemo damage.

Elemental Burst – Soul Reaper’s Fatal Round

Chasca’s Elemental Burst unleashes a powerful attack called Soul Reaper’s Fatal Round. When activated, Chasca concentrates her will, firing a single Gale splitting soul reaper Shell, dealing massive AOE Anemo Damage. Afterward, the Gale splitting soul reaper Shell splits into six soul reaper Shells, which then seek out and attack nearby enemies.

Similar to her Elemental Skill, these soul reaper Shells can convert into Radiant soul reaper Shells based on the elements in your party. For every Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro character, two of the soul reaper Shells will convert, dealing Elemental Damage instead of Anemo Damage. This allows you to tailor Chasca’s damage output depending on your team composition, making her a flexible and powerful character for both offensive and utility roles.

Chasca’s Passives: Enhancing Her Versatility

Chasca also comes with several passive talents that enhance her performance in various ways. Here’s a breakdown of her passive abilities:

Night Realm’s Gift: Everburning Heart: When Chasca’s Nightsoul points are depleted, she can consume Phlogiston to stay in her Nightsoul’s Blessing state. This makes her extremely valuable in situations where you need her airborne abilities for extended periods

Bullet Trick: This passive is activated when using her Elemental Skill’s multitarget fire. If your party includes characters of different elements (Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro), there’s a chance to trigger Spirit binding Conversion, allowing her to convert additional Shadow hunt Shells into Shining Shadow hunt Shells. The more varied your team composition, the greater the chance of triggering this effect.

Intent to Cover: This passive allows Chasca to support her teammates. When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Chasca will automatically fire a Burning Shadowhunt Shot at a nearby enemy, dealing Anemo Damage. This shot can convert into Elemental Damage based on your party members’ elements, further increasing her flexibility in team synergy.

Exploration Bonus: While exploring the open world, Chasca’s talent increases your party’s movement speed by 15% when gliding, making exploration smoother and faster.

Best Weapons for Chasca

To maximize Chasca’s potential, you’ll want to equip her with the right weapons. Since her kit scales with CRIT DMG and benefits from Elemental DMG buffs, her signature weapon is expected to be the best option. However, there are other strong alternatives depending on your playstyle and the weapons you have access to.

1) Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage (5-star)

Chasca’s signature bow is undoubtedly her best-in-slot weapon. It provides a massive CRIT DMG bonus and boosts ATK when a Swirl reaction is triggered. Additionally, this weapon enhances both Charged Attack and Elemental Burst DMG, making it perfect for maximizing Chasca’s damage output across her entire kit.

2) Aqua Simulacra (5-star)

This bow is another fantastic choice for Chasca. Aqua Simulacra offers a significant CRIT DMG bonus and increases the user’s overall damage. If you don’t have her signature weapon, this bow is a great alternative, enhancing both her Multitarget Fire and Elemental Burst abilities.

3) The First Great Magic (5-star)

Another excellent option, this bow provides a similar CRIT DMG bonus and boosts Chasca’s Charged Attack DMG. It also increases Movement Speed and ATK%, making it a versatile choice for enhancing her offensive capabilities.

4) Flower-Wreathed Feathers (4-star)

If you’re looking for a 4-star option, Flower-Wreathed Feathers offers a substantial ATK% bonus and enhances Charged Attack DMG. This makes it a solid choice for F2P players who still want to maximize Chasca’s potential.

5) Hamayumi (4-star, craftable)

This craftable weapon from Inazuma is a great option for F2P players. Hamayumi provides a good ATK% boost and increases both Normal and Charged Attack DMG. While obtaining the blueprint can be tricky, once crafted, it’s a reliable bow for Chasca.

Best Artifacts for Chasca

When it comes to artifacts, Chasca benefits most from sets that increase her DMG and CRIT Rate.

1) Obsidian Codex (4-piece): The Obsidian Codex set is perfect for Chasca. It not only boosts her DMG output but also provides a significant CRIT Rate bonus, allowing her to land critical hits more consistently. This set enhances her overall damage, making it the top choice for players who want to maximize Chasca’s DPS.

2) Marechaussee Hunter (4-piece): This set works exceptionally well when Chasca is paired with Furina. It increases Charged Attack DMG and offers a solid CRIT Rate bonus, making it a great option for teams that focus on boosting Chasca’s offensive capabilities.

3) Viridescent Venerer (4-piece): While it won’t increase Chasca’s personal damage as much as the other sets, Viridescent Venerer is a good option if you want to focus on Elemental Resistance Shred. This set is particularly effective when paired with strong subDPS characters, as it increases their overall damage by lowering enemies’ resistance to elements.

Chasca’s Constellations:

C1 - Cylinder, the Restless Roulette: Chasca’s first constellation significantly enhances her Bullet Trick passive talent. When the Spiritbinding Conversion effect is triggered, a second Shadow hunt Shell in her cylinder will also be converted into a Shining Shadow hunt Shell, increasing her overall damage output. The chances of triggering Spirit binding Conversion also rise, depending on your party’s elemental composition.

With one Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro character in the party, there is a 67% chance of conversion.With two or three characters of these elements, there is a 100% chance. Additionally, Chasca's Nightsoul points and Phlogiston consumption during her Nightsoul’s Blessing state are reduced by 30% while out of combat, allowing for better resource management.

C2 - Muzzle, the Searing Smoke: At C2, Chasca's Shining Shadowhunt Shells from her Multitarget Fire skill gain a significant boost. When these enhanced shells hit opponents, they will deal AOE Elemental Damage matching the shell’s elemental type, equal to 400% of Chasca's ATK. This devastating effect can be triggered every time she uses Multitarget Fire, turning her into a destructive force with the right elemental setup.

C3 - Reins, her Careful Control: Chasca’s third constellation increases the level of her Elemental Skill by 3, bringing its maximum level to 15. This directly amplifies her skill’s power, making her Multitarget Fire even more potent.

C4 - Sparks, the Sudden Shot: With C4, Chasca’s Radiant Soulseeker Shells from her Soul Reaper’s Fatal Round gain a secondary effect. Upon hitting enemies, these shells will restore 1.5 Elemental Energy to Chasca, helping with her energy regeneration. Additionally, they deal AOE Elemental Damage equal to 400% of Chasca’s ATK, similar to her C2 ability. This makes Chasca even more effective at taking down groups of enemies while keeping her Elemental Burst ready to use again.

C5 - Brim, the Sandshadow's Silhouette: Like C3, this constellation increases the level of one of Chasca’s abilities—in this case, her Elemental Burst. This upgrade boosts her Soul Reaper’s Fatal Round by 3 levels, enhancing its damage and utility, with a maximum level of 15.

C6 - Showdown, the Glory of Battle: Chasca’s final constellation, C6, provides a significant buff to her Bullet Trick passive. After Spiritbinding Conversion is triggered, Chasca gains the Fatal Rounds state for 3 seconds. During this time, her next Multitarget Fire attack will fully charge instantly, and its Crit Damage will increase by 120%. This constellation turns her into a burst-damage powerhouse, allowing her to unleash devastating attacks in quick succession.

Playstyle Tips: Mastering Chasca’s Potential

Chasca’s abilities make her shine in teams that rely heavily on elemental reactions. Her Elemental Skill and Burst are both fantastic at triggering swirls, making her an excellent choice for mixed-element teams. Position her Elemental Burst strategically to gather enemies and maximize the damage from follow-up attacks. Energy management is key, so pairing her with characters that generate particles or using an energy recharge weapon will keep her Elemental Burst available often.

• Keep an eye on the in-game moon phases. Timing her skills during the full moon can significantly boost her damage output.

• Prioritize Energy Recharge on her sub-stats to ensure you can use her Elemental Burst as often as possible.

• Pair her with Cryo resonance characters (such as another Cryo user) to increase her Crit Rate and deal even more damage.

Should You Pull for Chasca?

Chasca’s versatility as an Anemo bow user makes her a strong candidate for teams focusing on elemental reactions.

Chasca's unique moon-themed abilities and graceful playing techniques make her a standout character.
