Background of Chasca

Rarity	(5-Star)
Element	Anemo
Weapon	Bow
Best Role	Nightsoul Main DPS
Stat Priority	CRIT > ATK% > EM (If Nuke)
Tier	S (Rainbow Carry)

Chasca is the Peacemaker of the Flower-Feather Clan and a unique Anemo DPS from Natlan. Unlike Wanderer or Xiao, she is a "Rainbow Carry" who deals massive damage by absorbing elements from her teammates. She floats in mid-air and fires homing missiles that convert to Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro based on your party composition.

Pros

Excellent open-world mobility (Flight/Nightsoul).
Not dependent on Bennett (ATK buff is secondary to reactions/conversion).
Extremely high damage floor with "Rainbow" teams.
Self-sufficient Crit Rate via Obsidian Codex set.
Can snipe enemies from massive distances.

Cons

Requires teammates of specific elements (PECH).
No Resistance to Interruption while flying (Shield recommended).
Damage is single-target oriented (Missiles).
Cannot use Viridescent Venerer effectively (she is the carry).

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact: 4pc Obsidian Codex (Natlan DPS Set).
Alt Artifact: 4pc Desert Pavilion (Wanderer Set) or 4pc Shimenawa.
Best Weapon: Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage (Signature).
Alt Weapon: The First Great Magic or Aqua Simulacra.
F2P Weapon: Chain Breaker (Natlan Craftable) or Song of Stillness.
Main Stats: SANDS: ATK% | GOBLET: ATK% or Anemo | CIRCLET: CRIT DMG.
Talent Priority: Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack.
Top Team: Chasca + Ororon + Furina + Bennett (Rainbow Nuke).

Pro Tip: The "Tap" Trick: While in her flying state (E), do not just hold the attack button. Tap it rhythmically. Just like Neuvillette needs to charge, Chasca needs to load bullets. Tapping ensures you fire "Shining Shadowhunter Shells" (the big elemental nukes) as fast as possible.

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Spirit Reins, Shadow Hunt

Nightsoul's Blessing: Chasca enters a flying state (60 Nightsoul points).
Multisensory Missiles: While flying, Tapping Attack or Skill loads bullets into her rifle.
Elemental Conversion:
- She loads 6 bullets. By default, they are Anemo.
- If you have Pyro/Hydro/Cryo/Electro party members, the bullets change element to match them.
- Goal: You want at least 3 "converted" bullets for maximum damage. This means running 3 characters of PECH elements.
Shining Shadowhunter Shell: The converted bullets deal massive damage based on Chasca's ATK, but deal elemental damage of the absorbed type (e.g., Pyro DMG).

Elemental Burst: Soul Reaper's Fatal Round

Cost: 60 Energy | Cooldown: 15s
The Nuke: Fires a massive gale-force shell dealing AoE Anemo DMG.
Split Shells: Afterwards, it splits into 6 smaller shells. These also undergo elemental conversion based on your party composition.

Passive: Tricks of the Trouble-Maker

The Rainbow Buff: For every type of Elemental Conversion (Pyro/Hydro/Cryo/Electro) present among teammates, Chasca gains a stacking damage buff to her Shining Shadowhunter Shells.
Math: Ideally, you want 3 different elements (e.g. Pyro + Hydro + Electro) or 2 elements + Anemo resonance.

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Skill (Level 10) - This is 90% of her damage.
Elemental Burst (Level 8) - Good nuke, secondary priority.
Normal Attack (Level 1) - Ignore.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Chasca relies on her Skill, not her Burst, so ER requirements are very low.

Team Context	Weapon	ER Requirement
Standard Rainbow Team	Any	110% - 120%
With C1 (Reduced Consumption)	Any	100% - 110%

Substat Priority:

CRIT DMG (Obsidian Codex gives 40% Rate, so stack DMG)
ATK% (Her bullets scale on ATK)
CRIT Rate (Aim for ~40-50% on stat screen, set gives +40%)
Elemental Mastery (If triggering heavy reactions like Vape/Melt)

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
4pc Obsidian Codex	BiS	Chasca consumes Nightsoul points to attack. This set gives 15% DMG and a massive 40% CRIT Rate when consuming Nightsoul points. Nothing else compares.
4pc Desert Pavilion	Substitute	Boosts Normal/Charged/Plunge. Viable if you have amazing substats, but much weaker than Codex.
4pc Viridescent Venerer	Support Chasca	If you run her as a sub-DPS/driver for Furina/Xiangling, this shreds RES for the team. Lowers personal damage but buffs team.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage	CRIT DMG	S+	Signature. Buffs ATK% and Element DMG when triggering Swirl. Synergizes perfectly with her multi-element playstyle.
The First Great Magic	CRIT DMG	S	Lyney's Bow. Good stat stick, but passive requires mono-element stacking which conflicts with Chasca's rainbow passive. Still strong stats.
Chain Breaker	ATK%	A (Craftable)	Natlan Craftable. Buffs ATK based on party members from Natlan or different elements. Very good F2P synergy.
Cloudforged	EM	A (Event)	If you played the 4.7 event, this gives decent EM and ATK stats. Good for reaction damage.

Constellation Value

Chasca is a powerhouse at C0, but C1 fixes her team building.

C1: "The Cylinder's Restless Firing" - (QoL/Buff) Increases the probability of triggering elemental conversion bullets. Also reduces the Night Soul points consumed by Skill. This makes her gameplay much smoother and less RNG.
C2: "The Muzzle's Scorching Heat" - (Damage) When hitting enemies with conversion bullets, deals additional damage equal to 400% of ATK. Huge nuke potential.
C6: "The Showdown's Glory" - (Infinite Ammo) After casting Burst, her next Skill consumes NO Nightsoul points and fires instantly. Basically a machine gun mode.

Verdict: C0 is great. C1 makes her team building much more flexible.

Top Team Compositions

1. Rainbow Nuke (Standard)

Main DPS: Chasca
Pyro: Bennett (ATK Buff/Heal)
Hydro: Furina (DMG Buff)
Electro/Cryo: Ororon / Shenhe / Fischl

Why it works: Chasca absorbs Pyro, Hydro, and Electro to fire specialized bullets. Bennett buffs her ATK. Furina buffs damage. Ororon (if available) provides Natlan synergy.

2. Mono-Element Driver

Driver: Chasca
Off-Field 1: Xiangling (Pyro)
Off-Field 2: Rosaria (Cryo)
Support: Bennett

Why it works: Chasca drives Melt reactions by firing Pyro and Cryo bullets rapidly. Her mobility allows her to kite enemies while dealing massive reaction damage.

Rotations & Combos

Standard Rotation:
Furina E Q > Bennett Q E > Sub-DPS E/Q > Chasca Q E > Chasca Charged Attacks (Tap)

Tip: While flying (E), Tap the attack button. Do not hold. Tapping lets her auto-load bullets faster. Only Hold if you need to aim at a specific weak point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use VV on her?
You can, but Obsidian Codex is significantly better for her personal damage (which is high). Only use VV if she is purely a driver for extremely high-investment sub-DPS chars.

Is she better than Wanderer?
They are different. Wanderer is a Hypercarry who wants Faruzan/Bennett. Chasca is a Rainbow carry who wants elemental variety. Chasca is generally more flexible and has higher burst damage in multi-element teams.
