Here’s everything you need to know about Kazuha’s Talents:

Basic Attack: Garyuu Bladework

Kazuha stands tall, his weapon at the ready as he prepares to launch his basic attack. He takes a deep breath, focusing all of his energy and strength on his next series of strikes.

With a fierce cry, Kazuha charges forward, unleashing a barrage of powerful blows. His weapon swings in a blur of motion, as he lands up to five consecutive strikes on his target.

With that said, here’s how his attribute scaling works:

Kazuha readies himself for his charged attack, his muscles tense as he gathers energy for the impending strike. He takes a deep breath, focusing all of his strength and power into his weapon. With a fierce cry, Kazuha charges forward, his sword glowing with energy.

He unleashes two rapid sword strikes, each one a blur of motion as it slices through the air. The attack consumes a certain amount of Kazuha’s stamina, but the power and precision of the strikes more than make up for the cost.

Plunging Attack

Kazuha’s Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan is a formidable technique that requires precise timing and control.

By channeling the effects of his Elemental Skill, Chihayaburu, Kazuha is able to convert the damage of his Plunging Attack into Anemo damage, causing a devastating blast of wind to sweep across the battlefield.

As Kazuha executes the attack, he unleashes a secret blade technique that creates a small wind tunnel, pulling in nearby objects and opponents.

Those caught in the tunnel are helpless against the might of Kazuha’s Plunging Attack, as they are battered by the fierce winds and the sharp edge of his weapon

Chihayaburu – Elemental Skill

Kazuha unleashes a powerful technique that conjures a gust of wind to pull in nearby objects and opponents. Upon activation, this skill launches enemies within the area of effect and lifts Kazuha into the air on a rushing gust of wind.

After using Chihayaburu, Kazuha can perform a special Plunging Attack called Midare Ranzan within a 10 second window while he remains airborne.

Press:

• This mode of Chihayaburu can be used while Kazuha is in mid-air.

Kazuha Slash – Elemental Burst

Kazuha Slash is a devastating attack that showcases the full extent of Kazuha’s skill and control as a swordsman. With a single, powerful slash, Kazuha unleashes a burst of Anemo damage that strikes his enemies with the force of the first winds of autumn. 

When Kazuha uses Kazuha Slash, he leaves behind a field called “Autumn Whirlwind” that periodically deals Anemo damage to opponents within its range. This field adds an additional layer of threat to Kazuha’s attack, making it even more formidable.

Additionally, Kazuha Slash has the ability to absorb Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro elements, dealing additional elemental damage of that type when the Autumn Whirlwind field comes into contact with them. This Elemental Absorption effect can only occur once per use of Kazuha Slash, but it adds an extra level of versatility to the technique.

Passive Talents

Kazuha has a variety of passive abilities that enhance his skills and abilities on the battlefield. These passive talents make Kazuha a formidable force on the battlefield, allowing him to support his allies and take on even the toughest foes.

Soumon Swordsmanship – Unlocked At First Ascension

Kazuha’s Elemental Skill, Chihayaburu, has the ability to absorb Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro elements if it comes into contact with them.

If Kazuha uses his Plunging Attack, Midare Ranzan, before the absorption effect expires, it will deal extra damage based on the absorbed elemental type. This additional damage will be considered Plunging Attack damage, and will equal 200% of Kazuha’s ATK.

This Elemental Absorption effect can only be triggered once per use of Chihayaburu.

Poetics of Fuubutsu – Unlocked At Fourth Ascension

When Kazuha triggers a Swirl reaction, he grants all party members a temporary Elemental DMG Bonus to the element absorbed by Swirl. This bonus is equal to 0.04% of Kazuha’s Elemental Mastery for every point he has, and it lasts for 8 seconds.

Bonuses for different elements obtained through this ability can stack, allowing party members to benefit from multiple elemental bonuses at once.

Cloud Strider – Utility Passive

This passive ability allows Kazuha’s party members to conserve stamina while sprinting, reducing the stamina consumption of this action by 20%.

This effect is not cumulative with other passive talents that offer the same benefits. If multiple party members have this ability or a similar one, only the highest bonus will be applied.

Kazuha – Talent Materials

Kazuha’s talent materials are the key to unlocking his full potential as a swordsman. By gathering these rare and powerful resources, Kazuha can unlock new abilities and enhance his existing skills.

By gathering and using these valuable resources wisely, Kazuha can become a true master of the blade, feared and respected by enemies and allies alike:

Which Talent To Upgrade First? – A Detailed Overview

As a character, Kazuha has several talents that can be upgraded to increase his strength and effectiveness in battle. However, with limited resources and a limited number of upgrade opportunities, players may wonder which of Kazuha’s talents they should prioritize upgrading first.

Role

One important factor to consider when deciding which Kazuha talent to upgrade first is the character’s role in your party.

If you plan on using Kazuha as a primary damage dealer, it may be wise to prioritize upgrading his basic attack and charged attack talents, as these are the abilities that Kazuha will use most frequently to deal damage to enemies.

On the other hand, if Kazuha is more of a support character in your party, you may want to focus on upgrading his elemental skill and elemental burst talents, as these abilities can provide useful utility effects to your team.

Mastery & Elemental Resonance

Another factor to consider when deciding which Kazuha talent to upgrade first is the character’s elemental mastery and elemental resonance.

Kazuha’s elemental mastery determines how much damage his Anemo abilities do, and his elemental resonance can provide additional damage and effects when paired with characters of a certain element.

If you are using Kazuha as a primary damage dealer, you may want to prioritize upgrading his elemental mastery and elemental resonance talents to increase the overall damage output of his Anemo abilities.

Team Synergy

Finally, you should also consider the synergy between Kazuha’s talents and your overall party composition.

For example, if you have several characters in your party that use Anemo abilities, upgrading Kazuha’s elemental skill and elemental burst talents may provide additional benefits to your team.

On the other hand, if you are using Kazuha in a party with a mix of different elements, upgrading his elemental mastery and elemental resonance talents may be more beneficial.

Additional Factors

Here are additional factors to consider when deciding which Kazuha talent to upgrade first:

1. Talent Synergy: Consider how well Kazuha’s talents work together and how they enhance his overall effectiveness in battle.For example, upgrading his basic attack and charged attack talents may increase his damage output, but if these abilities do not work well with his elemental skill and elemental burst, his overall performance may not be as strong.
2. Playstyle: Think about your own playstyle and how Kazuha’s talents fit into it. If you prefer to play more aggressively, upgrading Kazuha’s basic attack and charged attack talents may be more beneficial.On the other hand, if you prefer a more supportive playstyle, focusing on Kazuha’s elemental skill and elemental burst talents may be a better choice.
3. Resource Management: Consider the resources required to upgrade Kazuha’s talents, such as mora, insignias, and other materials.If you have limited resources, you may want to prioritize upgrading Kazuha’s talents that provide the most immediate benefits, rather than saving resources for later upgrades that may not have as much impact on Kazuha’s performance.
4. Future Plans: Think about your long-term plans for Kazuha and how his talents will fit into those plans.If you plan on using Kazuha for a long time, you may want to prioritize upgrading his more generalist talents first, rather than focusing on specific builds or playstyles that may not be as effective in the long run.

By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision on which Kazuha talent to upgrade first and optimize his performance in battle.

Takeaway

In conclusion, upgrading Kazuha’s talents in Genshin Impact can greatly enhance his effectiveness in battle and provide a variety of benefits to your party.

When deciding which Kazuha talent to upgrade first, it is important to consider factors such as the character’s role in your party, his elemental mastery and elemental resonance, the synergy between his talents, your own playstyle, resource management, party composition, and future plans.

By carefully considering these factors, you can make an informed decision on which Kazuha talent to prioritize upgrading and optimizing his performance in battle.
