Everything Revealed About Genshin Impact’s Chasca So Far
InGenshin Impact’s Natlan lore, Chasca is said to be one of the strongest warriors of the Flow-Feather Clan tribe. Gameplay-wise, Chasca is a five-star Anemo DPS bow character, with a highly unique environmental traversal mechanic, who synergizes with team compositions that specifically contain Cryo, Electro, Hydro, or Pyro characters since these characters can infuse Chasca’s attacks with multiple Elements.
Chasca’s Release Date
Chasca will be available in the phase one Event Wish Banner forGenshin Impact’s 5.2 update, from November 20 to December 10, alongside a rerun of Lyney. The four-star characters in this banner are currently unknown aside from Ororon, a new four-star Electro bow DPS character from the Natlan region.
With some characters inGenshin Impact’s character rerun waiting listoften going over a year without a rerun, players who want to obtain Chasca may want to do so during her first banner in the 5.2 update, since it could be a while before she gets a rerun.
Chasca’s Kit Explained
Chasca’s Signature Weapon:Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage
While there are no official details about Chasca’s signature weapon yet, prior leaks from ther/Genshin_Impact_Leaks SubRedditthat have since been removed claim that this weapon will scale with crit damage. Additionally, the passive skills on this weapon will allegedly provide temporarily increased Anemo damage after triggering a Swirl Elemental reaction, and temporarily increased Charged attack and Elemental Burst damage depending on the team composition.
Elemental Skill:Chasca triggers a Swirl elemental reaction at her location and mounts her Soulsniper gun, allowing her to fly with increased movement speed and resistance to being interrupted.
While in this state, Chasca’s normal attacks will deal Anemo damage. Meanwhile, her charged attacks will utilize a special firing mode that will allow her to lock onto multiple targets, firing up to six Shadowhunt Shells. This ability is also considered Chasca’s Nightsoul’s Blessing State, and she can remain in this state as long as she hasNightsoul’s Blessing points or Phlogiston.
Between her environmental traversal abilities and her overall team role as an Anemo DPS character, players should expect Chasca’s ability kit to play similarly to Wanderer.
Elemental Burst:fires a Galesplitting Soul Seeker that deals AoE Anemo damage at an enemy’s location, then it splits into six Soulseeker Shells that track down and damage nearby enemies. These Soulseeker Shells can undergo Elemental damage conversion depending on the player’s team composition, similar to Chasca’s Elemental Skill.
