Genshin Impact Kazuha build: weapons, artifacts, and teams

KAZUHA is one of the strongest characters in Genshin Impact, as he can work as a damage dealer and also offer support.

He can be hard to pull due to his five-star rating, but can fit on a number of teams.

If you have Kazuha available to you, you will likely want to find a space for him in your team.

Here’s how to best equip Kazuha in Genshin Impact.

Best weapons for Kazuha in Genshin Impact

Whether you are using Kazuha for Support or as Sub DPS, you will need to trigger elemental reactions via special abilities.

His time on the field will also be limited, so he doesn’t need to work on his personal attack power.

Freedom-Sworn is a great weapon for this as it will increase damage when triggering reactions. 

It also boosts the whole team’s damage output and attack stats.

Here are some alternatives:

• Primordial Jade Cutter (five-star weapon) – boosts HP and damage.
• Mistsplitter Reforged (five-star weapon) – increases elemental damage.
• Sacrificial Sword (four-star weapon) – chance to skip the cooldown of elemental abilities.
• Favonius Sword (four-star weapon) – generates additional energy particles.
• Iron Sting (four-star weapon) – increases damage after dealing elemental damage; best option if you’re F2P.

Best artifacts for Kazuha in Genshin Impact

As with all characters that focus on their elemental abilities, the Viridescent Venerer is Kazuha’s best choice of artifact set.

Two pieces will increase his Ameno damage by 15%, and four pieces will increase swirl damage by 60%.

If an enemy is absorbed in the swirl, it will decrease their elemental resistances by 40%.

If this set is not available, you can substitute it for Noblesse Oblige.

Here is the ideal distribution of Kazuha’s stats.

• Plume: Attack (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Attack% (sub stats).
• Flower: HP (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Attack% (sub stats).
• Sands: Attack% (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Energy Recharge (sub stats).
• Goblet: Anemo Damage% (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Attack% (sub stats).
• Circlet: Critical Damage (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Energy Recharge (sub stats).

Best teams for Kazuha in Genshin Impact

Kazuha shines in a Support or Sub DPS role on almost any team if you use him as we’ve described. 

Here is a suggestion for particularly effective team compositions with him:

• Hu Tao (DPS), Kazuha (Sub DPS), Xingqiu (Sub DPS), and Bennett (Support)

Hu Tao works great as the main damage dealer, and gains boosts in damage from both Kazuha and Bennett.

Xingqiu will apply Hydro effects to trigger elemental reactions buffed by Kazuha’s swirls. 

This team will also work with the same principles:

• Kokomi (DPS), Kazuha (Sub DPS), Fischl (Sub DPS), and Beidou (Sub DPS).
