Kazuha is one of the best Anemo characters in Genshin Impact with his ability to Swirl. Here is our Kazuha Best Build Guide where you can find the best weapons and artifacts for him.

Kazuha is an Anemo Sword user in Genshin Impact. Kazuha made the decision to abandon his beloved country when the Vision Decree was adopted in Inazuma and he lost a comrade to enemy forces. He is currently living onboard The Crux as a wandering samurai under Captain Beidou’s command. A well-known member of the illustrious Kaedehara Clan is Kazuha. He is also good friends with Gorou, a Geo Bow user.

Kazuha has been the top choice of players for completing the Spiral Abyss in every update. He is incredibly useful against bosses and hordes of enemies. He can act as the best Sub-DPS and support character in the game.

Kazuha Best Build Guide

Strengths

Kazuha Talents

Garyuu Bladework (Normal Attack)

• Normal Attack – Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
• Charged Attack – Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
• Plunging Attack – Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. If this Plunging Attack is triggered by Chihayaburu, it will be converted to Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan.
• Plunging Attack (Midare Ranzan) – When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG and will create a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents.

Chihayaburu (Elemental Skill)

Unleashes a secret technique as fierce as the rushing wind that pulls objects and opponents towards Kazuha’s current position before launching opponents within the AoE, dealing Anemo DMG and lifting Kazuha into the air on a rushing gust of wind.

• Press – Can be used in mid-air.
• Hold – Charges up before unleashing greater Anemo DMG over a larger AoE than Press Mode.
• Plunging Attack (Midare Ranzan) – Within 10s of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan. When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG. On landing, Kazuha creates a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents. Midare Ranzan’s DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.

Kazuha Slash (Elemental Burst)

The signature technique of Kazuha’s self-styled bladework — a single slash that strikes with the force of the first winds of autumn, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. The blade’s passage will leave behind a field named “Autumn Whirlwind” that periodically deals AoE Anemo DMG to opponents within its range.

Elemental Absorbtion – If Autumn Whirlwind comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.

Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

Soumon Swordsmanship (Unlocked at Ascension 1)

If Chihayaburu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro when cast, Chihayaburu will absorb that element and if Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan is used before the effect expires, it will deal an additional 200% ATK of the absorbed elemental type as DMG. This will be considered Plunging Attack DMG. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of Chihayaburu.

Poetics of Fuubutsu (Unlocked at Ascension 4)

Upon triggering a Swirl reaction, Kaedehara Kazuha will grant teammates a 0.04% Elemental DMG Bonus to their corresponding Element for every point of Elemental Mastery he has for 8s. Bonuses for different elements obtained through this method can co-exist.

Kazuha is an incredibly powerful Sub-DPS and Support unit. Our recommendation is that if you were lucky enough to get him, you should start building him immediately. He works wonderfully with all the other characters that trigger elemental reactions. You can also check out our Thoma Best Build Guide and Sayu Best Build Guide.
