Gameplay
Kazuha can be used as a main-DPS character, but isbest suited for a sub-DPS role. Although he can deal plenty of damage himself, his greatest talents lie in boosting your entire team’s Elemental Mastery. In fact, after you unlock Kazuha’s first Ascension (level 20), triggering his Elemental Skill and pairing it with another elemental attack will increase the overall damage output by200 percent. Needless to say, Kazuha is a great team player.
Best Build for Kazuha
The five-star swordFreedom-Sworn, one of the two featured weapons inGenshin Impactv.1.6, was clearly made with Kazuha in mind. The sword’s passive abilities (which rely on elemental reactions)increases Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack damage by 16 percentandincreases overall ATK by 20 percent. Not only does Kazuha excel at strengthening elemental reactions, he also happens to contain a special Plunging Attack move while his Elemental Skill is in effect.
Of course, not everyone will be able or willing to spend valuable Wishes on the weapon banner, Epitome Invocation, so here are some other recommended weapons that will suit Kazuha just fine:
The best artifacts choice for Kazuha is theViridescent Venererset, which can be collected from theValley of Remembrancedomain (just southeast of Dawn Winery). The 2-piece bonus increases Anemo damage by 15 percent. The 4-piece bonus increases Swirl (Anemo) damage by 60 percent while also decreasing enemy resistances to the element infused in the Swirl by 40 percent.
Best Team for Kazuha
Anemo users are the most flexibleGenshin Impactcharacters to pair up into teams. Whereas other elements trigger only one specific reaction when coming into contact with another type of element, Anemo activates the “Swirl” effect no matter which element it meets with. “Swirl” also spreads that element further to affect nearby foes, so you can cover more of the field in less time.
Due to the nature of Anemo users,players are free to try out Kazuha in all different team comps. We recommend pairing Kazuha withcharacters who also boast Elemental Masteryand are good at stringing powerful elemental reactions (likeBeidou, who supplies a steady stream of AoE Electro damage, orMona, whose Elemental Burst applies the “Wet” status to enemies and sets up for devastating elemental reaction attacks).
You may even want to consider addingSucroseor another Anemo user to your party with Kazuha, since having two Anemo members increases your movement speed by 10 percent and reduces Stamina Drain by fifteen percent. Sucrose also boasts some nice Elemental Mastery perks if you want to design a team that fully embraces this tactic.
