With Kazuha a rerun in Genshin Impact 4.5, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore and refine a outstanding build tailored specifically for him, maximizing your damage potential every step of the way. So, let’s dive right in how to build the ultimate Kazuha!
Passive Talents
Starting off with his talents, since Kazuha is a character whose buffs mainly scale from Elemental Mastery, leveling him up is actually very essential. Normal attacks for Kazuha are standard stuff, nothing too important. If you're interested in playing this character, get a Genshin Impact Account with Kazuha!
However, leveling up this normal attack will result in more damage from the A1 passive Elemental skill, the main source of his crowd control. He lunges up in the air, pulling enemies in, and with a normal click, he does a plunge damage dealing damage to the enemies.
Elemental Skill
He also has 2 variations of Elemental Skill: Tap and Hold versions. In different scenarios, Tap and Hold versions have their own use cases. Ascension Passive, which is by far the most important Ascension Passive that Kazuha has. Also, a key thing to remember is that Kazuha can swirl 2 different elements in this manner, thus providing the elemental damage bonus to 2 elements.
Elemental Burst
Moving on to his Elemental Burst. Apart from making us completely blind for its entire duration, here's what else his Elemental Burst, the Kazuha Slash, does: It deals with an instance of Slash damage which scales from Attack, and then it creates an elemental field which observes a certain element. It can swirl an element from an enemy, which gives you the A4 passive. It can consistently swirl enemies, and the absorption priorities are based on Pyro > Hydro > Electro > Cryo.
Weapons
The weapons for Kazuha can be divided into 2 broad categories: ER and EM weapons:
Freedom-Sworn: Freedom-Sworn stands out as Kazuha's signature weapon and his best option. However, it's worth noting that Freedom-Sworn is the only weapon among the mentioned options that lacks ER, necessitating the use of an ER Sands to meet the energy requirement for Kazuha's burst cooldown.
Sacrificial Sword: The Sacrificial Sword offers Kazuha the ability to reset his skill cooldown when the passive is triggered. While this weapon can be beneficial for Kazuha, it's often considered more suitable for characters like Xingqiu. However, if you possess 2 R5 Sacrificial Swords, you can allocate one to Kazuha.
Constellations
Now, let's move on to the constellations for Kazuha. Kazuha is a character who is absolutely great at C0. However, his constellations do bring him some value.
- C1 reduces the cooldown of his skill by 10%, and after using his burst, his skill cooldown is reset, so you can actually go and execute a combo.
- C2 gives Kazuha 200 additional EM inside the burst radius and increases the EM of every party member by an overall 200, a great damage buff to the entire team. Should be an excellent stopping point if you are a die-hard Kazuha fan.
- C3 increases the skill level by 3 levels.
- C4 allows Kazuha to run a slightly low amount of ER, and also, whenever you glide with the C4, you also regenerate particles for your burst, so that's a really nice handy quality of life upgrade.
- C5 increases the burst level by 3 levels.
- C6 gives Kazuha 5 seconds of Anemo Infusion on his normal attacks after you use his skill or burst, a great DPS constellation.
Artifacts
Moving on to his artifacts, 4-piece set of Viridescent Venerer. That's the artifacts that you should aim for, be it a DPS build or an EM support build. 4-piece Viridescent Venerer is the best value, providing resistance shred and increasing swirl damage, benefiting Kazuha's entire kit a lot. So, 4-piece Viridescent Venerer provides you 60% extra Swirl damage and 40% elemental resistance shred on the infused element.
