The element which is absorbed by Kazuha's elemental burst follows the priority of Pyro > Hydro > Electro > Cryo, and can be absorbed 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.
This mechanic can be utilized to trigger specific reactions and bonus effects in Kazuha's Elemental Burst, such as Melt or Vaporize, by absorbing the corresponding element types from the environment or enemies.
To maximize the effectiveness of Kazuha's Elemental Burst, consider the following:

• Positioning Kazuha near enemies or characters with elemental applications to absorb the desired element types
• Using Kazuha in a team composition with characters that can apply elemental reactions and bonus effects
• Optimizing Kazuha's Elemental Mastery (EM) and Elemental Recharge (ER) to increase the frequency and potency of his Elemental Burst

Talents Priority

QBurst>ESkill>NANormal Attack

Kazuha's 4th Ascension Passive encourages players to maximise Elemental Mastery in order to maximise his utility and increase his Elemental Reaction damage.
Weapon Choices: The ultimate goal is to try stack as much EM while getting enough ER for a consistent Burst uptime. Having any of the ER swords or a second Anemo character in the team will also help reduce the needs for ER and prioritize EM substats more.

• Favonius Sword: With this weapon, try to aim for some Crit Rate stats to trigger the weapon passive reliably.
• Sacrificial Sword: It is generally not needed to use the additional instance of Kazuha's Elemental Skill should Sacrificial Sword proc its passive, unless you absolutely need to use it for extra grouping.
• Sapwood Blade: Only really viable at high refinement in specific Dendro teams where you can trigger Dendro reactions usually through swirling Electro/Hydro on enemies with Dendro applied to them (most consistently done in Aggravate reaction comps).

• Thundering Fury (4): This is a niche build that excels only in AoE situations and with specific teams. Those teams include an off-field Hydro and Electro support to allow Kazuha to constantly trigger the 4pc effect and spam his Elemental Skill, as well as another Anemo support to hold the Viridiscent Venerer (4) set. Such teams can be Kazuha + Kokomi + Fischl + Venti, with Barbara and Sucrose being weaker replacements for Kokomi and Venti. This team triggers multiple fall damage instances against enemies that can be Crowd Controlled by Kazuha. Fischl can use The Viridiscent Hunt bow to allow for more fall damage instances. **NOTE: This team performs very poorly in pure single target situations.

• Use accurate Genshin Impact terminology.
• Keep all game mechanics accurate.
• Maintain build recommendations.
• Preserve team compositions.
• Keep farming locations if mentioned.

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.

This will be considered Plunging Attack DMG.
