BUFF & REACTION SUPPORT Build

Weapons

Favonius Lance

Energy Recharge

Default pick: CRIT Rate rolls on the Skill can proc its particle passive, so the drill pays for the team's Burst uptime instead of draining it.

Footprint of the Rainbow

DEF%

Craftable Natlan polearm with a DEF substat — a free stat stick when the drill's scaling wants DEF and nobody needs Favonius particles.

Engulfing Lightning

Energy Recharge

Biggest raw stat value: Energy Recharge substat plus an ATK% conversion on top of it, so Burst uptime and buff scaling come from one weapon.

Prototype Starglitter

Energy Recharge

Budget option: Energy Recharge covers the Burst cycle, and the skill-triggered Normal/Charged Attack bonus covers the field time spent placing the construct.

Artifacts

Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City

The construct's Geo reactions are the trigger — the 4-piece hands the whole party a large Geo DMG Bonus, the strongest single buff on this list.

Archaic Petra

4-piece grants 35% DMG Bonus to whichever element's shard you pick up. Grab a Geo crystal for the carry; pair it with a Crystallize-heavy team or the buff is dead weight.

Noblesse Oblige

Unconditional party ATK +20% for 12s after the Burst. Easiest to maintain if Energy Recharge is stacked and nothing else needs the 4-piece.

Tenacity of the Millelith

The drill's hits refresh party ATK +20% and Shield Strength +30%, so the buff ticks while you're off-field — as long as the construct keeps connecting.

CRIT RateCRIT DMG

Turbo Twirly counts as a Geo Construct.
Kachina's Burst recalls it to her position if it's on the field—quick repositioning without riding it. C2 instead summons a new one when none is deployed.

OFF-FIELD SUPPORT
As a free Natlan unit, Kachina provides off-field Geo application via her Elemental Skill and wields Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4) effectively. Her Elemental Burst widens Turbo Twirly's shockwave radius, letting you hit distant enemies. Personal scalings are low, so building for damage isn't required.

[C1] restores 3 Energy on picking up a Crystallize Shard; mounting/dismounting Turbo Twirly absorbs nearby shards. Triggers once per 5s, easing Energy Recharge needs.

Mainstats/Substats: For low-investment support, correct mainstats matter little. With Favonius Lance, prioritize CRIT Rate for consistent passive procs.

Weapons: Footprint of the Rainbow — use if ER needs are met and the team doesn't need Favonius Lance's energy. Refinements only boost personal damage.

Artifacts: Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City is top priority unless another teammate wants it more; otherwise use listed alternatives.
