Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery
Kazuha's elemental burst absorbs elements in the following priority: Pyro > Hydro > Electro > Cryo. This absorption can occur from both the active character and enemies.
For example, standing in Bennett's elemental burst will result in Kazuha's elemental burst infusing Pyro, as Bennett's elemental burst applies Pyro to the active character.
Kazuha's 4th ascension passive provides an elemental DMG bonus buff depending on his Elemental Mastery, putting the main focus on his build on stacking Elemental Mastery while also having enough Energy Recharge to burst every rotation, as his burst extends the duration of his passive and deals respectable damage through swirls.
Regarding Weapon Choices:
- Favonius Sword: With this weapon, try to aim for some Crit Rate stats to trigger the weapon passive reliably.
- Xiphos' Moonlight: At R1, this weapon usually performs worse than Favonius Sword due to providing less effective energy to the team. At higher refinements, this weapon can rival Freedom-Sworn in terms of value due to how much Energy Recharge it provides to Kazuha and the team.
- Sacrificial Sword: This weapon is mainly used for the Energy Recharge it provides. The skill reset should not be used unless the extra grouping is needed.
- Iron Sting and Toukabou Shigure: These weapons can perform better than Sacrificial Sword if you can get enough Energy Recharge from substats.
Regarding Artifact Sets:
- Thundering Fury (4): This set is only used for a few specific teams, in which Kazuha is used on field to deal damage through aggravated swirl hits with Anemo element and other elemental reactions.
