Chaska, the five-star rookie of the wind element, stands at the threshold of “Genshin Impact” version 5.2, carrying a bow and arrow, and descending gracefully. Her appearance is like a gust of wind, light and sharp, as if tearing open the surface of the air, bringing new variables and challenges. Players’ expectations for her are both a desire for power and a pursuit of novel gameplay.
Although Chaska’s basic information is concise, it reveals her extraordinary potential. 9797 health points, 347 attack power, plus 615 defense, and 19.2% critical strike rate growth, these numbers are behind the exquisite and balanced design, which is a precise grasp of the role positioning. Her weapon is a bow, which means that her battle rhythm pays attention to distance and precision. She can observe the enemy from a distance and show her power in an instant.
The exclusive weapon “Star Eagle Red Feather” gives her a more complex combat dimension. After equipping it, the attack power will be increased by 24% when the diffusion reaction is triggered, which lasts for 12 seconds; and when there are different elements in the team, the heavy attack and elemental burst damage can be greatly increased. This is not only the superposition of data, but also the dialogue and cooperation between elements, which is a rare ingenuity in game design.
At first glance, Chaska’s normal attack “Mi Feather Strike” is only four shots, but its connotation is ever-changing. When aiming and shooting, the arrow gathers strong wind, and when fully charged, it turns into a sharp arrow of wind element. This design reflects the patience and burst of the shooter, which can not only output continuously but also burst instantly, suitable for the needs of different battlefields. The rain of arrows of the falling attack is overwhelming, which not only deters the enemy but also shows her agility.
And her elemental combat skill “Spirit Rein Chasing Shadow” is the core. With the power of the Night Soul in the weapon, Chaska enters the Night Soul Blessing state and gains 80 Night Soul points. Her action speed and anti-interruption ability are improved, and she can float in the air and shoot multiple aiming arrows. This airborne combat posture is both elegant and deadly, subverting the shackles of traditional archers who can only fight on the ground.
The multiple aiming mechanism is rich and delicate. Tap to shoot to cause Night Soul wind elemental damage to the enemy in front, and long press to select multiple enemies and charge up to six “shadow-chasing bullets”. These shadow-chasing bullets can be randomly transformed into “glowing shadow-chasing bullets” of the corresponding elements according to the different elements in the team, achieving elemental diversity damage, reflecting the depth of strategy and cooperation.
Her elemental burst “Soul-seeking Life Attack” is also shocking. After focusing, fire the wind-breaking soul-seeking bullet, causing wind elemental area damage, and then split into six “soul-seeking bullets”. These projectiles can also be transformed into “overflowing soul-seeking bullets” according to the team’s elements, spreading a variety of elemental impacts, sweeping the storm on the battlefield, and the enemy has nowhere to hide.
The design of passive talents is very layered. For example, “Bullet Trick” allows the shadow-chasing bullet to have a chance to trigger the spirit conversion, and then superimpose the effect of the radiant spirit, significantly increasing the damage of the radiant shadow-chasing bullet. Another example is “The Heart of Cover”. When teammates trigger the Night Soul Burst, Chaska will automatically fire the Flowing Flame Chaser Bullet to help the team output. In addition, “The Gift of the Night Domain” and “The True Meaning of Mediation” make her battle rhythm smoother, and the conversion of energy and Night Soul value becomes her guarantee for a protracted battle.
Chaska’s constellation also reveals her gradual growth trajectory. The first constellation increases the probability of soul conversion and reduces the consumption of Night Soul value; the second constellation strengthens the attack power of the Radiant Shadow Chaser Bullet, with additional area damage; the fourth and fifth constellations increase the elemental burst level and skill level, making her output more fierce; and the sixth constellation “Confrontation, the Glory of Struggle” shortens the charging time of multiple aiming and greatly increases the critical damage, making her rhythm on the battlefield as fast as the wind.
From Chaska, we see an image of an archer that goes beyond tradition. She is not only a long-range shooter, but also a dancer who wanders in the air and controls the wind element, elegant and deadly. Her design is full of detailed carving and strategic considerations, giving players a more diverse operating experience.
The world of “Genshin Impact” is richer because of her, and because of her, the player’s combat strategy has become broader and more flexible. How Chaska will write her legend is waiting for every player to explore and experience.
