Kazuha is the newest playable character to arrive in Genshin Impact, starring in his very own Banner for the Version 1.6 content. As a 5-star character, he'll be incredibly rare when trying to get him through the game's gacha Wish system, so some fans may be wondering if they should attempt to acquire Kazuha - or just save their Primogems for future characters like Yoimiya.

Now that Kazuha's Banner has released in Genshin Impact, many fans may be eager to pull him. However, the pull rate for 5-star characters is very low, which means there's a good bit of luck and Primogems involved. Strategically-minded players may face a dilemma of whether or not Kazuha is worth pulling in Version 1.6, or if upcoming characters like Yoimiya, Ayaka, and Sayu should be prioritized instead. And because of the way developer miHoYo schedules regular updates, there may not be enough time to save up Primogems for both Kazuha and the next character featured on a Banner.

Even now, with no official release date in sight for the new characters, some players are already thinking of ways to farm materials for Yoimiya in Genshin Impact. As a Pyro user with ranged bow attacks, Yoimiya could make a powerful ally (and great alternative to Amber). Kazuha, conversely, is an Anemo user who wields swords in combat. They're two very different characters, which will really be the deciding factor on whether players should pull Kazuha or wait for Yoimiya.

Essentially, the answer to which character is better will come down to what kind of role players need to fill on their teams. While other Anemo swordfighters already exist, a new powerful Pyro bow user like Yoimiya is pretty enticing. For players hoping to get a better Pyro user on their team, Yoimiya may make the better option here - especially if they already have a great Anemo character pulled.

However, Kazuha's moves are powerful and great for triggering Elemental Reactions to bring down enemies quickly, so players lacking a good DPS Support character may opt for him instead. Players with a 5-star Pyro user already may not want Yoimiya, so trying their luck with Kazuha's Banner in Genshin Impact makes more sense, especially since Anemo users are a bit more uncommon than Pyro ones.

Ultimately, the decision will come down to the player. However, the best strategy for knowing whether to pull Kazuha or wait is deciding on which Element and role a player's team needs most. This is especially true for players who don't want to spend real money in Genshin Impact, since they'll need to think carefully about which Banners they want to use Primogems on.
