REACTION DPS & BUFF SUPPORT Build

Weapons

1
Freedom-Sworn
Freedom-Sworn

Elemental Mastery

EM substat plus a party-wide 20% ATK and 16% Normal Attack/Skill/Burst buff once two reactions trigger — Swirl stacks it instantly, so the whole team gains damage.

2
Favonius Sword
Favonius Sword

Energy Recharge

Particle generation on CRIT makes the Burst loopable even at low Energy Recharge, and frees the team from running a dedicated battery.

3
Xiphos' Moonlight
Xiphos' Moonlight

Elemental Mastery

Highest EM stat stick here; converts a chunk of it into Energy Recharge for the wielder and the party, fixing burst uptime on the supports around you.

4
Sacrificial Sword
Sacrificial Sword

Energy Recharge

The Skill reset gives a second plunge-and-pull for extra grouping and twice the particle load, smoothing rotations on short cooldown teams.

5
Fleuve Cendre Ferryman
Fleuve Cendre Ferryman

Energy Recharge

Budget Energy Recharge option: refunds particles on Skill hits and grants CRIT Rate, so the shred support role stays online without EM gear.

6
Skyward Blade
Skyward Blade

Energy Recharge

High base ATK and Energy Recharge, plus a passive that adds hits and ATK SPD — take it when EM weapons are contested by another unit.

7
Iron Sting
Iron Sting

Elemental Mastery

Free craftable: EM substat and a 12% all-damage bonus at two stacks, which Swirl refreshes constantly. Reliable placeholder until a 5-star shows up.

8
Toukabou Shigure
Toukabou Shigure

Elemental Mastery

EM substat with a 24% Skill damage window after reacting — favours builds leaning on the plunge and Skill hits rather than pure Swirl ticks.

9
Skyrider Sword
Skyrider Sword

Energy Recharge

Starter filler from chests; the CRIT Rate and ATK passive at least let early-game Swirl hits land while you farm a 4-star.

Artifacts

4-piece core: Swirl cuts matching RES by 40% for 10s, boosting all Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo team damage. Run EM/EM/EM mainstats.

Off-meta 4-piece for Electro-heavy teams: the Skill cooldown cut from Hyperbloom/Aggravate-adjacent reactions gives more grouping casts, and the 20% buff boosts Overloaded and Electro-Charged damage.

Recommended Primary Stats

Elemental MasteryEnergy Recharge
Goblet
Elemental Mastery
Circlet
Elemental Mastery

Kazuha's Burst absorption follows the priority Pyro > Hydro > Electro > Cryo.
It can absorb auras from the active character and enemies alike — standing inside Bennett's Burst infuses Pyro, since that field applies Pyro to the active character.

Reaction DPS and Support
Kazuha's 4th Ascension passive grants an Elemental DMG Bonus based on Elemental Mastery, so focus on stacking Elemental Mastery plus enough Energy Recharge to Burst every rotation; his Burst extends the passive and deals solid damage via Swirl.
Weapons
Favonius Sword: aim for some CRIT Rate to reliably trigger its passive.
Xiphos' Moonlight: at [R1] usually worse than Favonius Sword due to less effective team energy; at high refinements it can rival Freedom-Sworn via large Energy Recharge for him and the team.
Sacrificial Sword: mainly for Energy Recharge; don't use the Skill reset unless extra grouping is needed.
Iron Sting and Toukabou Shigure: can outperform Sacrificial Sword if you get enough Energy Recharge from substats.
Artifacts
Thundering Fury (4): only for specific teams where Kazuha stays on field to deal damage through aggravated Swirl hits.
