KAZUHA TALENTS / SKILLS
Normal Attack: Perform 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.
Within 10s of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan.
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
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.
PRESS COOLDOWN: 6s HOLD COOLDOWN: 9s
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 Absorption
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.
DURATION: 8s COOLDOWN: 15s ENERGY COST: 60s
KAZUHA PASSIVE
Soumon Swordsmanship: 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.
Unlocked at Ascension 1
Poetics of Fuubutsu: 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.
Unlocked at Ascension 4
Cloud Strider: Decreases sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%. Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

REACTION MASTER: In this build your goal is to get the most out of elemental reactions. Focus mostly on Elemental Mastery followed by Energy Recharge to get his burst up sooner.
BURST SUPPORT: As you progress you can build him as burst damage dealer. Focus on elemental mastery, energy recharge, followed by CR, CD, and ATK.

STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Kazuha is an elemental reaction king in Genshin Impact!
- Her burst has a very large radius and swirls all your elemental damage.
- His elemental skill clumps your enemies together, making them faster and easier to defeat.
- His elemental skill also allows him to jump very high which is great for exploration to save a little climbing time and get to some difficult locations.
WEAKNESSES
- Venti does a better job than him in terms of swirling enemies together.
- His elemental reactions do not work with GEO type teammates.
RANKING
Combat Rating (9/10): Kazuha’s combat style is very nice since he’s able to pull enemies together and apply a very large ring that can do a lot of damage with elemental reactions.
Exploration (10/10): His passive decreases sprinting stamina which is huge for exploration. Also his elemental skill sends him really high in the air, which is really helpful to get to difficult places or launch off of cliffs to glide even further.
Spiral Abyss (10/10): His burst gives a very large radius and does constant elemental reaction which is great to increase your DPS output. His E can clump enemies together for faster clears. He’s a staple character for speed clear teams due to his ability to buff your teams damage.
Artifact Farming (9/10): He serves the same role here as she does in the Abyss.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (8/10): His Elemental skill is kind of useless here but his Burst is still helpful to increase clear times.
