According to the detailed information released a few days ago regarding the second half of the banner in Genshin Impact 4.5, the five-star characters include Neuvillette and Kazuha. Previously, we have analyzed on Neuvillette' s build guide. Today, let's delve into a build guide for Kazuha. In this article, we will focus on his weapons, best artifacts, skills and teams.
Basic information
Builds for Kazuha
1. Support Build for Kazuha
Kazuha excels in the role of Swirl Support, and this build emphasizes that aspect by prioritizing his Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge to maximize buff effectiveness and uptime. Aim for approximately 170% Energy Recharge to ensure Kazuha's Burst ability is readily available in most situations.
2. DPS Build for Kazuha
In contrast, this DPS Build for Kazuha focuses on dealing significant damage to both single and multiple opponents in any scenario. By emphasizing more traditional DPS stats, Kazuha can achieve higher personal damage output but at the expense of party DMG buffs. Unlike Support Kazuha, this build expects him to remain on the field for an extended period to gather particles, thus reducing the priority on Energy Recharge.
Best Artifacts
1. 5-Star Artifact
1st: Viridescent Venerer

Best Weapons
1st: Freedom-Sworn
Base ATK: 608
Bonus Stat: Elemental Mastery 198
Skill Effect: Increases DMG by 10%. When characters with Freedom-Sworn trigger Elemental Reactions, they gain a Sigil of Rebellion (once every 0.5s). This triggers even if they aren't on the field. When you reach 2 Sigils, they will be consumed which grants nearby party members 20% ATK and 16% Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG for 12 seconds. Once triggered, you gain no Sigils for 20 seconds. The same buffs from the Millennial Movement series does not stack.
2nd: Xiphos' Moonlight
Base ATK: 510
Bonus Stat: Elemental Mastery 165
Skill Effect: The following effect will trigger every 10s: The equipping character will gain 0.036% Energy Recharge for each point of Elemental Mastery they possess for 12 seconds, with nearby party members gaining 30% of this buff for the same duration. Multiple instances of this weapon can allow this buff to stack. This effect will still trigger even if the character is not on the field.
3rd: Favonius Sword
Base ATK: 454
Bonus Stat: Energy Recharge 61.3%
Skill Effect: CRIT Hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12 seconds.
Best Team Comp
Kazuha serves as an exceptionally potent support character suitable for diverse team compositions, including Hypercarry setups, mono-elemental teams, and various reaction-based compositions. However, the primary limitation with Kazuha arises from the fact that you can only deploy one instance of him in the Spiral Abyss.
1. Kazuha Vaporize Teams
- Sub-DPS-Kazuha
- Main-DPS-Ayato
- Sub-DPS-Xiangling
- Support-Bennett
With proper set-up between elements, Kazuha can swirl buff both Hydro and Pyro, which combined makes Vaporize teams like with Xiangling become monstrous. Bennett is Kazuha's best friend as his Burst can be used to self-swirl Pyro on command.
2. Kazuha Freeze Teams
- Sub-DPS-Kazuha
- Main-DPS-Ayato
- Sub-DPS-Shenhe
- Support-Kokomi
In a Freeze team composition, Kazuha leverages Swirl to combine Hydro and Cryo elements, effectively maintaining a permanent freeze on enemies. This setup offers flexibility by accommodating additional Cryo or Hydro characters such as Ayato. It's important to note that this team excels particularly in AoE scenarios.
3. Kazuha Mixed Teams
- Sub-DPS-Kazuha
- Main-DPS-Ayato
- Sub-DPS\Support- Fischl
- Support- Fischl
As Kazuha focuses on Elemental Mastery and can enhance two elements simultaneously, mixed team compositions capable of triggering dual Elemental Reactions such as Electro-Charged and Overload are advantageous. This setup not only boosts Kazuha's personal damage but also enhances the overall damage output of the team.
Skills
Kazuha's Elemental Burst, Kazuha Slash, unleashes a wide AoE attack that inflicts continuous Swirl damage on enemies within its range. Its expansive nature makes positioning straightforward as it extends outward from Kazuha. The elemental reaction initiated first within the AoE determines the Anemo Swirl damage. Additionally, Kazuha's Elemental Burst changes color according to the swirling element, creating a visually captivating experience for Kazuha users.
Moreover, Kazuha's Exploration Talent, Cloud Strider, reduces stamina consumption during sprinting. This feature enables faster traversal over larger distances or conserves stamina for other activities.
Summary
Kazuha excels at boosting damage, attracting aggro, and reducing enemy resistance. Even in teams focused on elemental reactions, she can contribute significantly to damage output, dethroning Anemo characters as primary support. However, Kazuha's supportive capabilities are largely realized at C0, with subsequent constellations primarily enhancing her own damage rather than utility. Therefore, for players without Kazuha, it's advisable to get him.
