Once a dismissed and underrated wandering samurai, Kaedehara Kazuha has made his triumphant return to Genshin Impact in his rerun Banner, "Leaves of the Wind." Fans wealthy in Primogems or lucky enough to pull this Inazuman swordsman will likely want to know how to build him as the S-tier Anemo character the theorycrafters and Genshin experts have made him out to be. Accordingly, knowing which Talents to level up first, what weapons to acquire, and what Artifact Set to farm is essential for achieving the best support build for Kazuha in Genshin Impact.
Starting with Kazuha's Talents in Genshin Impact, Travelers are recommended to first max his Elemental Burst, Kazuha Slash, followed by Elemental Skill, Chihayaburu. This Talent-leveling procedure is standard for most support characters, with the Burst and Skill taking priority over the Normal Attack. Moreover, because Kazuha Slash and Chihayaburu combine with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro to produce powerful Elemental Reactions, ensuring Kazuha's Burst and Skill are their possible max is crucial.
Next, the best weapon for a Kazuha support build in Genshin Impact is, without a doubt, the Freedom-Sworn, the same 5-star Sword that the wandering samurai debuted with during his first featured Banner. The Freedom-Sworn is currently available in the Weapon Wish Event Banner until August 2, 2022. Other optimal 5-star choices would be the Skyward Blade or the Primordial Jade Cutter.
How To Build Support Kazuha In Genshin Impact
Alternatively, Wish-pulled weapons such as the Skill CD-resetting Sacrificial Sword or the Energy-Recharging Favonius Sword are excellent options for Kazuha. However, those stricken with gacha unluckiness or strictly free-to-play are encouraged to equip Kazuha with the Iron Sting, a craftable Sword that offers bonus Elemental Mastery and DMG in combat.
As an Anemo user, Kazuha's best Artifact Set would doubtless be Viridescent Venerer, the go-to Artifacts for most Anemo characters in Genshin Impact. For every Artifact, Elemental Mastery is the optimal stat to maximize, but if this is not possible, substats like Anemo DMG Bonus, ATK%, or CRIT Rate/DMG are also viable options. Regardless, the Anemo DMG Bonus and bolstered Swirl DMG that Viridescent Venerer provides make the Artifact Set invaluable for Kazuha's support build in Genshin Impact. To get this set, Travelers can farm the Artifacts at the Valley of Remembrance, a Domain located between Dawn Winery and Dragonspine in Mondstadt. Other than Kazuha's Ascension and Character Talent Materials, the Viridescent Venerer Artifact Set will likely be the items that fans will be grinding the most for achieving the best build for the wandering Anemo samurai.
Genshin Impact is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, iOS, Android, and PC.
