Kazuha is a powerful 5-star Anemo support unit in Genshin Impact who can swirl elementals and buff the damage output of allies.

Kazuha was originally launched in 2021, and even three years later he is one of the best support units in the game. His ability to group smaller enemies, buff damage for allies, and swirl multiple elements is unmatched even to this day.

Kazuha received a rerun in Genshin Impact version 5.0 alongside Mualani and is a strong pickup if you can spare a few Primogems. If you are looking to pull for Kazuha, here is a guide focused on his best build that will help you get him ready for end-game content almost instantly.

Best Kazuha weapons in Genshin Impact

Freedom-Sworn

This is the best weapon for Kazuha in Genshin Impact and a must-have if you are looking to make the most out of the damage buffs from his kit. Apart from the Elemental Mastery boost from its substats, this weapon increases damage by 10%.

Additionally, upon triggering Elemental Reactions, the wearer gains a Sigil of Rebellion. Once the wearer gains 2 stacks, they are consumed and all nearby party members receive a 20% boost to ATK and 16% boost to Normal, Charged, and Plunging attack damage.

This effect works even if the character with the weapon equipped is off-field.

Favonius Sword

Favonius Sword is a very good option for Kazuha if you are looking for consistency. This weapon provides Energy Recharge as a substat and creates particles that regenerate 6 Energy for every character. This means Kazuha will be able to spam his Ultimate ability a lot more even though he loses out a bit in terms of damage buffs.

Best Kazuha team comp

The best units to pair alongside Kazuha in Genshin Impact are Arlecchino, Bennett, and Xiangling. In this team, Kazuha functions as a support as he buffs the damage output of both Arlecchino and Xiangling through Pyro swirl.

However, you can also run him in a team with Raiden Shogun at Constellation 2, Kujou Sara, and Bennett. In this team, Raiden Shogun is the main DPS and Kazuha can buff the damage output through Electro Swirl.

Finally, if you are willing, a team of Arlecchino, Yelan, Kazuha, and Bennett can also work. Kazuha has the ability to swirl two elements instead of one, which means he can significantly buff both Arlechhino and Yelan’s damage.

Kazuha abilities in Genshin Impact

Normal Attack: Garyuu Bladework

ABILITY NAME	DESCRIPTION
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.

Elemental Skill

ABILITY NAME

DESCRIPTION

Chihayaburu

Kazuha 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. Within 10 seconds of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan. You should utilize this very powerful combo, as Kazuha’s Plunging Attack damage is almost unparalleled.

Elemental Burst

ABILITY NAME

DESCRIPTION

Kazuha Slash

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 an “Autumn Whirlwind” that periodically deals AoE Anemo DMG to opponents within its range. This Whirlwind will also react with other Elemental types, dealing extra damage. This is great in combination with other units, such as subbing Kazuha in and out to keep the reactions going.

Passives

ABILITY NAME	DESCRIPTION
Cloud Strider	Decreases sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%. Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.
Soumon Swordmanship	If Chihayaburu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro when cast, this 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 Fubutsu	Upon triggering a Swirl reaction, Kaedehara Kazuha will grant all party members a 0.04% Elemental DMG Bonus to the element absorbed by Swirl for every point of Elemental Mastery he has for 8s. Bonuses for different elements obtained through this method can co-exist.
