[Genshin5.6] Kazuha Best Build for DPS and Support

The Wandering Samurai and one of the game’s most popular characters ever since his release, Kazuha is one of the strongest support characters in Genshin Impact, with his abilities allowing him to make any team as strong as they possibly can be. Now, he is having a rerun in the 5.6 Inazuma Chronicled Wish Banner.

In this guide, we will go over everything players need to know regarding Kazuha and his versatile skill kit with the potential to not only buff the entire team with powerful buffs and effects when built as a support but also becomes an extremely powerful Anemo DPS character himself when built as a DPS character.

 

General Introduction

Element	Weapon Type	Special Effect	Role
Anemo	Sword	None	DPS / Sub DPS / Support / Elemental Enabler

Kazuha is a 5* Limited Character of the Anemo Element, he wields a sword as his main weapon and is one of the game’s strongest and most popular characters by far. Kazuha’s main strong point lies in his ability to trigger the Swirl Elemental Reaction to grant allies buffs and reduce enemies’ resistance as well as his ability to crown control groups of enemies, making him a valuable asset to many teams.

 

Kazuha Skill Kit Details & Leveling Priority

Kazuha is a powerful character that fills multiple roles in a team, with his skill kit not only allowing him to deal good Anemo damage in a wide area and crowd control enemies, but also allow him to buff all allies' damage output while also facilitate strong elemental reactions.

• Kazuha Skill allows him to jump up in the air and do a plunge attack, drawing enemies together and deal Anemo damage. If he is in contact with any of the elements, the skill will be enhanced with that element, triggering the Swirl elemental reaction. Holding this skill will strengthen the area of effect and allow Kazuha to draw in more enemies at the cost of higher skill cooldown.
• Kazuha Elemental Burst allows him to deploy a big field of Anemo for a set amount of time on the field. Enemies within this field will take enhanced Anemo damage and if the field comes into contact with the other elements, it will absorb 1 of the element and will trigger the Swirl elemental reaction at regular intervals, additionally reducing the enemies’ resistances to that particular element.
• Kazuha Ascension Talents allow him to gain Anemo Damage% and grants Elemental Damage bonuses for allies based on his Elemental Mastery Stat, the higher the stat, the more buff he grants.

Kazuha skills and burst leveling only boost his own damage, if you are building a support Kazuha, leveling them up is optional, for DPS Kazuha, level both for best damage. Focus on getting Kazuha’s 2nd Ascension Talent as soon as possible.

Best Teams & Teammates For Support Kazuha

When building a support Kazuha team, players will need to have a good elemental character as the main DPS option for the team, with Kazuha being a support character to facilitate the main DPS’ Elemental Reactions, buffing their elemental damage and reducing enemies’ elemental resistances.

• The Main DPS: The Main DPS will be the main damage dealer of the team and will need to take full advantage of all the buffs Kazuha provides. They will stay on field and deal damage while Kazuha buffs are active. Some good options for this role are: Neuvilette, Mavuika (DPS Build), Arlecchino, Clorinde, Mualani, etc.
• Damage Support/Sub DPS: The Sub DPS/ Damage Support slot should contain characters that buff and share the same element as the Main DPS. This is to ensure that Kazuha can initiate the Swirl elemental reaction with the sub-DPS/ Damage support character before switching to the main DPS, allowing the main DPS to gain all of the buffs and the enemies resistances are reduced. Some of the options for this role are: Furina, Bennett, Raiden Shogun, Mavuika, etc.
• Support/Sustain: The last slot on the team and should contain characters that can facilitate additional elemental reactions to boost the main DPS damage output or to buff their survivability. Some options include: Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, Mavuika, Citlali, Yelan, etc.
