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.

Kaedehara Kazuha Skills

Garyuu Bladework

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

"Wind in branches grieves
Bygone ages, gods of old
Withered autumn leaves"

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 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.

Kazuha Slash

"I see eternity go by in an instant, the autumns of many years from a single leaf. Thus I shall slice this maple in a flash, and ask a question of the ages."

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.

Passive Talent

Soumon Swordsmanship

Ascension Phase 1

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 Fuubutsu
