Chasca is a 5-star Anemo Bow character introduced in Genshin Impact Version 5.2. Hailing from the Flower-Feather Clan, she serves as the Peacemaker of Natlan.
Her arrival on the battlefield with her “Flying Magnum” is enough to send even the bravest opponents fleeing in fear. But despite her fearsome reputation, she was raised by Qucusaurs before being adopted by Chuychu’s family.
In this ONE Esports guide, we cover the best Chasca build in Genshin Impact. From her ideal weapon to artifact choices, this guide will help you unleash her full potential as a devastating Anemo DPS on the battlefield.
Best Chasca build: Ascension and talent materials
Leveling up Chasca increases her crit rate per ascension. This is essential for triggering critical swirls on her Nightsoul state.
To ascend Chasca, you’ll need to gather Withering Purpurblooms, found in Ochkanatlan in Natlan, and hunt Saurians for their fang drops. Her boss material, the Ensnaring Gaze, can be obtained by defeating the Tenebrous Papilla Near Flower-Feather Clan village.
Check out our comprehensive ONE Esports guide for the complete list of Chasca’s ascension materials.
Upgrading Chasca’s talents is essential to maximizing her raw damage output. Start by prioritizing her Elemental Skill, Spirit Reins, Shadow Hunt (or the big flying Magnum), as the majority of her damage comes from her AOE Anemo attacks.
Next, level up her Elemental Burst, Soul Reaper’s Fatal Round, which fires six Soulseeker shells that deal massive damage.
Here is the list of Chasca’s Talent materials.

Best Chasca build: Best weapons
Choosing the right weapon for Chasca is relatively simple, as most bows in Genshin Impact scale with ATK%, which directly benefits her damage output.
Additionally, many of these bow’s passive boost charged attack damage which synergizes well with Chasca’s gameplay.
This makes it easy to narrow down the best weapon choices, focusing on those that enhance her charged attack and overall ATK scaling.
Here is a list of Bows that could give Chasca the highest damage potential.
WEAPON | STATS | WEAPON EFFECT |
Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage | Base ATK: 608 CRIT DMG: 66.2% | The Moonring Sighted: For 12s after triggering a Swirl reaction, ATK increases by 24%. In addition, when 1/2 or more characters in the party are of a different Elemental Type from the equipping character, the DMG dealt by the equipping character’s Charged Attacks is increased by 20%/48% and Elemental Burst DMG dealt is increased by 10%/24%. |
Chain Breaker | Base ATK: 565 ATK: 27.6% | Flower-Feather Song: For every party member from Natlan or who has a different Elemental Type from the equipping character, the equipping character gains 4.8% increased ATK. When there are no less than 3 of the aforementioned characters, the equipping character gains 24 Elemental Mastery. |
Scion of the Blazing Sun | Base ATK: 565 CRIT Rate: 18.4% | The Way of Sunfire: After a Charged Attack hits an opponent, a Sunfire Arrow will descend upon the opponent hit, dealing 60% ATK as DMG, and applying the Heartsearer effect to the opponent damaged by said Arrow for 10s. Opponents affected by Heartsearer take 28% more Charged Attack DMG from the wielder. A Sunfire Arrow can be triggered once every 10s. |
The First Great Magic | Base ATK: 608 CRIT DMG: 66.2% | Parsifal the Great: DMG dealt by Charged Attacks increased by 16%. For every party member with the same Elemental Type as the wielder (including the wielder themselves), gain 1 Gimmick stack. For every party member with a different Elemental Type from the wielder, gain 1 Theatrics stack. When the wielder has 1/2/3 or more Gimmick stacks, ATK will be increased by 16%/32%/48%. When the wielder has 1/2/3 or more Theatrics stacks, Movement SPD will be increased by 4%/7%/10%. |
Hunter’s Path | Base ATK: 542 Crit Rate: 44.1% | At the End of the Beast-Paths: Gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain the Tireless Hunt effect after hitting an opponent with a Charged Attack. This effect increases Charged Attack DMG by 160% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will be removed after 12 Charged Attacks or 10s. Only 1 instance of Tireless Hunt can be gained every 12s. |
Elegy for the End | Base ATK: 608 Energy Recharge: 55.1% | The Parting Refrain: A part of the “Millennial Movement” that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by 60. When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field. When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the “Millennial Movement: Farewell Song” effect for 12s. “Millennial Movement: Farewell Song” increases Elemental Mastery by 100 and increases ATK by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s. Of the many effects of the “Millennial Movement,” buffs of the same type will not stack. |
Her signature weapon, Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage, is currently the best weapon for Chasca. Its passive provides up to 24% ATK boost after triggering a Swirl reaction and if you have 2 party members of different elements, it can increase her charged attack damage up to 48%.
For an alternative 5-star weapon, The First Great Magic synergizes well with her Elemental skill since it boosts Charged Attack DMG by 16%. Additionally, it grants up to 48% ATK if you have another Anemo character in your party.
Hunter’s Path offers a strong alternative, with a high CRIT Rate and Charged Attack bonuses scaling from Elemental Mastery.
For the best weapon from the battlepass, Scion of the Blazing Sun increases Charged Attack DMG by 28% after triggering a Sunfire Arrow.
The best weapon for free-to-play players is the Chain Breaker. It boosts ATK% based on Elemental Mastery and party composition.
Finally, Elegy for the End enhances Elemental Mastery and energy regeneration, making it ideal for rotation-oriented teams that prioritize Swirl and Elemental Burst uptime.
Best Chasca build: Best artifact sets
Chasca becomes an unstoppable force when triggering Swirl reactions in her Nightsoul state with charged attacks. By focusing on boosting her ATK% and Charged Attack DMG through the right artifacts, you can maximize her elemental skill damage potential.
We’ve compiled a list of best artifact sets that synergizes well with her gameplay.
CHASCA ARTIFACTS | ARTIFACT DESCRIPTION |
Obsidian Codex | 2-Pieces: While the equipping character is in Nightsoul’s Blessing and is on the field, their DMG dealt is increased by 15%. 4-Pieces: After the equipping character consumes 1 Nightsoul point while on the field, CRIT Rate increases by 40% for 6s. This effect can trigger once every second. |
Viridescent Venerer | 2-Pieces: Anemo DMG Bonus +15% 4-Pieces: Increases Swirl DMG by 60%. Decreases opponent’s Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s. |
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence | 2-Pieces: ATK +18%. 4-Pieces: When casting an Elemental Skill, if the character has 15 or more Energy, they lose 15 Energy and Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 50% for 10s. This effect will not trigger again during that duration. |
Marechaussee Hunter | 2-Pieces: Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15% 4-Pieces: When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks. |
The 4-piece Obsidian Codex is the best artifact set for Chasca since it increases Chasca’s damage whenever she’s in her nightsoul state. Additionally, it increases her CRIT Rate whenever a Nightsoul point is consumed, helping her maintain consistent critical hits throughout combat.
The Viridescent Venerer set is an excellent choice if you’re looking to enhance Chasca’s Swirl reactions. It increases Swirl DMG and decreases the opponent’s Elemental RES, making her Anemo reactions more potent.
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence offers a strong offensive boost by increasing ATK and enhancing normal/charged attack damage, making it a great option for players focusing on her elemental skill damage.
For players who want to increase Chasca’s overall attack power, the Marechaussee Hunter set provides a CRIT Rate boost, but it requires Furina for its 4pc set to take into effect.
