Best Kaedehara Kazuha Builds

REACTION DPS & SUPPORT Kazuha's 4th Ascension Passive encourages players to maximize Elemental Mastery in order to maximize his utility and increase his Elemental Reaction damage. Regarding Weapon Choices: The ultimate goal is to stack as much Elemental Mastery (EM) as possible while getting enough Energy Recharge (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, 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 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). Regarding Artifact Sets: - 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. This team performs very poorly in pure single target situations.

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.
