Chasca Build Guide
Chasca’s Role and Skills
Chasca is gun-riding DPS character that loads her bullets and infusing them with Elemental Types before shooting. She does this by Holding her Skill (E) to go airborne before loading up to 6 Shadowhunt Shells then firing at enemies. The 4th, 5th and 6th Shells will get infused based on the PECH (Pyro, Electro, Cryo, Hydro) Elemental Types of her teammates. Similarly Chasca’s Burst (Q) also fires 6 Soulseeker Shells that each of her PECH teammates can infuse 2 Shells each following their own Elemental Type.
Its important to note that each of Chasca’s infused Shells does way more damage compared to a non-infused one. This means that ideally she should be running with a full PECH team or you’re losing heavily on her own damage.

Basic Chasca’s combo
Artifact set
Obsidian Codex (4)
Universally Chasca’s best artifact as it gives huge 40% Crit Rate simply by consuming Nightsoul points while she’s charging her Shadowhunt Shells. On top of that, the 2pc also gives her an extra 15% DMG while she’s in her gun-riding airborne state.
Marechaussee Hunter (4)
A viable secondary option if Furina is on the team. Chasca can benefit from the 2pc +15% Charged Attack DMG since her Shells are considered as Charged Attack. Meanwhile Furina’s self tick damage on her E will ensure uptime on the 4pc +36% Crit Rate buff.
Weapon
Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage (5✩)
Chasca’s signature
Easily Chasca’s best weapon due to its high Crit DMG secondary stat and passive that further buffs her Shells DMG & Burst (Q) when running with teammates of different Elemental Type. It further reinforces that she’s intended to be in PECH team.
Aqua Simulacra (5✩)
Second best weapon due to its high Crit DMG and the damage buff from its passive is easily achievable.
The First Great Magic (5✩)
Very closely competing with Simulacra for the 2nd spot but loses by a bit due to its lower Crit DMG stat. Also remember that Chasca wouldn’t benefit from the max 3 Gimmick stacks that the weapon passive provides since she optimally would be running a rainbow comp.
Flower-Wreathed Feather (4✩)
The upcoming patch 5.2 event will give out Chasca’s best 4-star and F2P weapon. Its passive is designed for her as it provides up to 36% DMG buff onto her Charged Attacks whenever she goes into Aimed mode. This is easily achieved during her Hold E to go airborne before loading up the 6 Shadowhunt Shells.
Song of Stillness (4✩)
A great option since you can forge and refine the weapon to its max. Similar to Flower-Wreathed Feather (4✩), its comes it gives high ATK stat and can user can deal up to 32% more DMG at R5 whenever they are healed.
Talent
C0-C6
Skill (E) > Burst (Q) > Normal Attack (NA)
Both Chasca’s infuse and non-infused Shells (Shadowhunt Shell & Shining Shadowhunt Shell) damage comes from her E multiplier hence it will take priority. Next would be her Q since it also contribute a significant portion of her damage even more so when its infused.
Stat and substat
Sand: ATK%
Goblet: ATK% / Pyro DMG / Hydro DMG
Circlet: Crit DMG
- Crit DMG
- Crit Rate
- ATK%
- Energy Recharge
Since Chasca is the first character in Genshin with a kit built around rainbow comp, she actually benefits more from an ATK% goblet compared to others. Nevertheless her Pyro and Hydro goblet choice is also not too far off so you should choose whichever with better substats. Crit DMG will take priority over Crit Rate since she already comes with a 65% Crit Rate (from Ascension stat + Obsidian set + 5% CR everyone gets).
