Genshin Impact’s new continent is live right now; it’s the crags and mountain area of Natlan, the home of the Pyro Archon, filled with new story quests and new gacha characters. Phase 1’s Character Banner is up, which means that newcomers Kachina and Mualani are available to gacha, with the duo featuring their own kit and skills/weaknesses.

In this guide, we will talk about the best builds and party setup for Kachina and Mualani, as well as show off a walkthrough for the new dungeon.

Kachina Overview

The new four-star Geo heroine, this little girl from Natlan wields a polearm and has one of the best mountain traversal tools in the game. While her Elemental Skill Turbo Twirly is decent as a damage dealer, its more useful as an exploration tool, as it can climb tall vertical areas with ease. Provided you can get Natlan’s special energy to fill up the meter just above your health bar, you can use this skill all day to get to high places easily!

Kachina Best Build

Being a Geo user, she has better defense scaling than most 4-star characters of other elements. Her Turbo Twirly and Elemental Burst can deal AoE Geo damage decently, but it’s better as a sub-DPS maneuver to complement your party’s main DPS.

Best Weapon: Footprint of the Rainbow/Engulfing Lightning/Favonius Lance/The Catch

Best Artifacts: Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (boosts Def, Geo DMG bonus, Crit Rate/Crit Damage)

Best Team Composition:
Arataki Itto/Goro/Zhongli for mono Geo team, Mualani/Kazuha/Bennet for damage rainbow team. Characters like Itto and Mualani are better as main DPS characters to complement Kachina, while the rest are used as support.

Mualani Overview

Mualani is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst user that specializes in mobility and major Hydro damage. Her Elemental Skill lets her “surf up” using a familiar named Sharky that deals big damage via consecutive bite marks, as well as use Elemental Reactions like Vaporize.

Mualani Best Build

Her priority stats are Critical Damage and Elemental Mastery; use Artifacts and Weapons that boosts these two stats.

Best Weapons: Surf’s Up/ Sacrificial Jade / Ring of Yaxche / Ash-Graven Drinking Horn / Ballad of the Boundless Blue

Best Artifacts: Obsidian Codex x4 / Heart of Depth x4

Best Team Compositions:

Combine her with teams that can abuse Elemental Reactions, like with Kazuha/Xiangling/Bennett and Nahida/Xiangling/Zhongli.
