Like all characters, how much damage or support he can give will directly rely on how well you build him. Luckily, Genshin already has quite a few artifact sets and weapons that work perfectly with Kazuhas playstyle. The guide below will give you the best Kazuha builds, as well as go over his constellations and some tips for getting the most out of his playstyle.

Best Kazuha Builds

Kazuha isn't made to be a DPS character, although some players are already working on trying to make him they're main. He is a great support character and can help your team control the battlefield and deal easy swirl damage to opponents. To get the most out of him though, you still need to use a good weapon. Below are three of the best swords to use with Kazuha:

Weapon Base Attack Secondary Stat Passive Ability
Freedom - Sworn 46 Elemental Mastery +43 Damage is increased between 10 to 20 percent when an elemental skill is triggered and you will receive a sigil of rebellion. After two sigils are collected, your party's plunging attack damage is increased between 16 to 3 percent and normal attack is increased between 20 to 40 percent, this effect lasts 12 seconds.
Skyward Blade 46 12% Energy Recharge Increases your critical hit rate between 4 to 8 percent. In addition, when you use Kazuha's elemental burst your movement speed increases by 10 percent, normal and charged attacks are increased by 20 to 40 percent for 12 seconds.
Iron Sting 42 Elemental Mastery +36 All elemental damage is increased by 6 to 12 percent for up to two stacks.

Along with ensuring that you have the weapon picked out, you will need to gather an artifact set to help balance out Kazuha. Artifact sets are available within the game for free and will just require you to farm domains in order to get a five-star set, below are two that work perfectly with Kazuha:

Artifact Set 2-Piece Set 4-Piece Set
Viridescent Venerer Anemo Attacks do 15 percent more damage. Swirl damage increased by 60 percent. Enemies will also be ten percent weaker to the infused element for ten seconds.
Instructor Elemental Mastery +80 Creating a Swirl reaction increases your party's elemental master by 120 points for eight seconds.

These two sets can also be mixed together if you want to combine their two-piece effects together.

Kazuha Constellations And Play Tips

Having the most powerful Kazuha you can, means that you will need to pull him seven different times. This will unlock his full constellation and allow you to level up his elemental talents to level 15. Below are Kazuha's constellations levels and what each of them gives you:

  • C1- Chihayaburu's has its CD decreased by ten percent and the CD can now be reset by using Kazuha Slash.
  • C2- Kazuha Slash now increases Kazuha elemental mastery by 200 points and party members within the bursts field have their elemental mastery by 200 points.
  • C3- Chihayaburu can now reach level 15.
  • C4- When Kazuha goes below 45 energy, using his elemental skill will regenerate a small amount of energy as while gliding.
  • C5- Kazuha Slash can now reach level 15.
  • C6- Using an elemental attack will infuse Kazuha with anemo energy. For every elemental mastery point Kazuha has, you will deal 0.2 percent more damage from charged and plunging attacks.

As mentioned above Kazuha is a supporting character, although this can change a bit, especially if you have his c6 constellation. His elemental skill Chihayaburu deals AoE anemo damage to enemies and pressing the skill button after the AoE attack will cause Kazuha to leap into the air and do a plunging attack. The attack can also be charged by holding the skill button to widens the AoE area and increases damage.

Kazuha's elemental burst, Kazuha Slash creates a large field that continually deals AoE damage. Using electro, cryo, hydro, or pyro will also cause the field to pulse matching elemental damage of the same type. The field is great to throw down and then switch to your main DPS to cause elemental reactions and high damage. Additionally, having Kazuha in your party will also make your stamina decrease 20 percent slower.

You will also want to quickly ascend Kazuha to unlock his two special talents. Poetics of Fuubutsu gives party members 0.4 percent extra damage for each point of elemental mastery they have when a swirl reaction takes place for eight seconds.Soumon Swordsmanship will give Kazuha a 200 percent plunging attack bonus if another element is used with Chihayaburu and he does a plunging attack.
