How to build Kaedehara Kazuha for elemental support in Genshin Impact
4-star alternatives:Favonius Sword or Sacrificial Sword
Once you’ve got Kazuha on your team, you’ll want to equip him with a good sword. We recommend usingFreedom-SwornorSkyward Bladefor their respective Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge abilities. If you don’t have either of these lucrative 5-star swords, try the 4-starFavonius Swordor theSacrificial Sword, both of which have great Energy Recharge buffs as well.
You’ll also need artifacts to take full advantage of Kazuha’s abilities. As Kazuha is best suited as an Anemo support character similar to Venti and Sucrose, you’ll likely want to use theViridescent Venererset, which gives excellent Anemo bonuses. TheNoblesse Obligeset is also a solid choice for Kazuha, as it will boost his Elemental Burst damage.
When looking at Artifact stats and substats, you’ll want to prioritize Elemental Mastery, Anemo DMG Bonus, and Crit DMG/Rate. ATK% can also go a long way, but Kazuha tends to be the strongest when using his Anemo abilities rather than his normal attacks, so relying on his elemental abilities is best. If you’re in a position to be selective, aim for the following:
Secondary:Chihayaburu (Elemental Skill)
When choosing which talents to level up, prioritize hisElemental BurstandElemental Skill. If you want to invest in his other talents as well, here’s what all of them are:
5-star alternative:Diluc replacing Xiangling as DPS
This composition allows Kazuha to take advantage of powerful complementary Pyro buffs provided byXianglingandBennett, as well as the 25% attack damage bonus from having two Pyro characters on a team. Kazuha can trigger theSwirl elemental reactionto spread that damage over a wider area. If you have a 5-star Pyro DPS likeDilucyou can potentially put them in Xiangling’s place for extra base damage, although you will be sacrificing Xiangling and Kazuha’s complementary stacking energy debuffs if you do, so be sure to take that into account.
Any sub-DPS character with a suitably Swirl-reactive element can take the final place on this team.Xingqiuis a solid choice as he’s one of the best 4-star sub-DPS candidates in the game and possesses the Hydro element, butFischlmakes for a good Electro alternative.
Kazuha’s ascensions require the following materials:
Kazuha’s ascension materials are largely to be found in Inazuma. This is where you can gather Sea Ganoderma by the coastal areas, and find Maguu Kenki normal bosses who drop Marionette Cores when defeated. A little travel might be required to farm all his materials, however, as the Anemo boss who drops Vayuda Turquoise resides in the Stormbearer Mountains in Mondstadt, while Treasure Hoarders can be fought anywhere in Teyvat but are most commonly encountered in Liyue.
To level up Kazuha’s talents fully, you’ll need 18 Gilded Scale, 9 Teachings of Diligence, 63 Guide to Diligence, 114 Philosophies of Diligence, 18 Treasure Hoarder Insignia, 66 Silver Raven Insignia, 93 Golden Raven Insignia, and 3 Crown of Sagehood. Per any one of his three active talents, that works out to:
In addition to the materials that overlap with those required for his ascension levelling, you need to head to Liyue’s Taishan Mansion domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and/or Sundays for Kazuha’s books. Gilded Scales are farmed by repeating the Azhdaha boss fight in the Beneath the Dragon-Queller domain at Level 70+. Finally, if you’re looking to go the extra mile, Crowns of Insight can be obtained through limited-time events or by making offerings to the Frostbearing Tree and Sacred Sakura.
If you’re determined to max out Kazuha’s abilities, wishing for duplicate copies of him to unlock his Constellations can be effective (yet, be warned: since he’s a 5-star character, it can also prove extremely costly and/or time consuming). Here’s what each one of his Constellations will give you:
