ALSO: Kazuha's new weapon (cursed blade) is aesthetically pleasing but NOT nearly as good as favonious, iron sting, or other weapons I mentioned for an optimal EM build. You can use it if you want to look pretty though. Heizou guide out tomorrow btw, playing him live now @ www.twitch.tv/zy0xxx
Whenever I see Kazuha’s plunge attack suck enemies in, it makes me think how awesome it’d be if Xiao’s plunges during his burst did that instead of PUSHING THE GODDAM ENEMIES AWAY.
If Xiao had a similar mechanic of sucking enemies while using his plunge attack then he would definitely be the most fun character to play imo. But considering how things are, Kazuha have that title of "most fun" for me.
as a new genshin player who has been playing for only 3 months, having kazuha makes my gaming experience 3x more fun as he's so fun and easy to play. thanks to your old kazuha building guide i don't regret pulling for this pretty boy in one bit.
"the only 'downside' of this constellation is that you need more field time with your kazuha" that's what i want. and even at C0 i'll find a way to make him work as my main dps somehow.
Finally, the favonius sword is getting the attention it deserves. Idk why but before, people just dislike using it on kazuha (i remember even zyox himself dislike it as well), now that has finally changed.
@@Wishing_God lmao, I was on twitch and he was literally trash talking other content creators like how they are all wrong. Example iwtl , vars, tenten.
I think the realization that fav weapons are actually OP came with the release of Yelan. Being able to run less ER on everyone on your team can be a massive DPS increase. Theorycrafters are even recommending fav sword for Bennett now, even though it has very low base atk. That's how good the extra energy generation can be
Kazuha is an awesome character which makes him worth pulling, but what makes him more worth it is that Hoyoverse choosed the best name for Kazuha's burst
I was getting really underwhelming results after pulling him earlier today and couldn't figure out why. This video helped me immensely and now I'm having so much fun with him!! Thank you Zy0x!!
@@Mr.BednaR prioritize as much EM as you can possibly get (aim for over 1,000) Flower and feather with EM and ER substats Circlet, goblet, and time piece with EM main stat and ER substats

Got Kazuha in 14 pulls and winning 50/50, such a blessing especially after rolling for a total of 144 pulls last banner for Yelan. Hope everyone out there reading this have good luck on your rolls too
I got some pretty good luck. I got a 5* in 30 pulls lost 50/50 but thankfully it was Mona who I use. I went to soft pity and got 2 kazuhas in one 10 pull.

Well I didn't get 2 Kazuha in single 10 pull but got it back to back. He came in 53 pulls and then again in next 10 pull. Now thinking if I should go for c2
I prefer Sacrifical Sword on him personally. With multiple enemies grouped together it's easier to trigger the effect even at low refinements, and it's practically speaking like getting his C1 for free. I''d rather save those primos with Sumeru being next patch (Nilou is about to ruin my finances).
@@RindouHasRan yeah, basically. His c1 allows him to use his elemental skill with no cool down after his burst is activated. Use it like this: elemental skill - burst - elemental skill(with no cd) If u have his c1, u should OF COURSE use favonius, cuz sacrificial would just be dps waste
Fav sword is super good but hard to implement. Why? When u build full EM, getting EM circlet/goblet is super duper hard, on top of that u want crit rate stat on that to proc fav sword Thats nightmare inside nightmare
Finally got Kazuha after waiting for so long, now I just gotta spend my resin until I get him the right artifacts and then I can finally start using him with my C6 Beidou. 🌪️⚡ *Thanks for the guide!*
It's really frustrating that they didn't design the cursed sword to suit his abilities. Although I understand that they did that for business reasons, this could have been solved cleverly. They could have used the cursed Sword as a skin for the freedom sworn or sacrifice 1 copy of freedom sworn to unlock the full potential.
If this were a normal video game that beautiful quest line would have made it his best in slot sword, tying closely into his kit. Instead because this is a gacha game it’s another 4 star sword with an ATK substat and passive. Missed opportunity. Real shame.
honestly, if they're going to match aesthetics with a character, it should be for that character. like they already did it for the oathsworn eye and i understand from a general use perspective, but it can be so annoying
They do that and they're basically killing any other niche supports that'll come out in the future, just like how bennett pretty much topples majority of every other support that came after him, ones like Yunjin, Shenhe, Gorou, and Sara.
@@hijodelsoldeoriente Agreed, but NOT weapons limited to events. Any future Albedo mains can't get cinnabar anymore. There should be a way to obtain it now, like with starglitter or smth.
@@erenkandogan5760 I have a reason. to declare dominance on other people in co-op. but yeah I understand EM does more but I was mostly saving his artifacts for xiao or something
I prepared a 100 fates for Kazuha but I only spent 20 fates to get him 🗿 Well I guess I can save more for zhong zhong's re run, also thanks for the guide! I'm gonna arrange Kazuha later
Thank you for actually explaining substats! My brain is not designed for figuring these details out when gaming so I am always lost when it comes to build.
for anyone looking for something more updated! Xiphos' Moonlight is another great weapon for Kazuha, it is a 4-star gacha option so it's not exactly f2p friendly but it strikes a really nice medium between Iron Sting and Favonius Sword it has EM as its substat, 165 when Lvl 90, and the passive gives ER based on your EM. even at R1 you can get up to +36% ER from the passive if you have 1000EM (+0.036% ER for every point of EM.) This goes up to +72% ER at R5. This lets you get a total of 841 EM (full EM build + Lvl 90 Weapon + 6th Ascension) without any extra EM substats or external buffs, which will make the passive give you around +30% ER at R1, +60% ER at R5. get a few alright ER and EM substats and you're golden, makes it much easier to sneak some Crit in there too
I didn't know the plunge after his skill will scale from his normal attack, I thought it just activates kind of another state of his skill. Until now i had his talents 6/12/9 but that's definetly going to change, tysm ^^
Been waiting soo long for Kazuha since i started playing. ok lets go guide videos! I just got Kazuha and Freedom Sworn!! all my money worth waiting ahaha
@@ho7mer No, everyone but traveller absorbs in that order, traveller absorbs cryo first for some reason. What that means is if there is multi elements nearby it always absorbs the priority element. Say there is a hydro slime and a cryo slime it will absorb hydro for example.
Same! Im using sucrose as a plug-in for Kazuha and she’s just..mediocre at best. Im so excited for Kazuha and, obviously, the hydro archon herself Sangonomiya Kokomi. I’m going to run both of them on my freeze team with Ayaka+Shenhe.
I prefer Iron Sting overall because of that EM substat and additional atk buff on its passive especially if you have it on R5 (which I have one)…but I would only recommend this only if you have a good amount of ER. My Kazuha has 170 ER which is quite enough for me already.. but lower than that, ER swords would be much better, because a consistent rotation is way better than having big atk number with poor rotation because of the lack of energy
Very nice guide for EM Kazuha! Thanks as usual for the info. I do think talking a bit more about hybrid Kazu with EM/Anemo DMG/Crit would be good though, specially for the big majority of players who just cannot get proper EM build from that god forsaken domain, bc I've literally farmed for months and got no proper goblet OR circlet for it, so honestly I think most people (aside from whales or very lucky/old players) needs to end up going for the hybrid build.
kazuha is going to be my main since hes like my fav character in whole genshin impact I EVEN ORDERED 3 POSTERS AND A NECKLASE MADE OF REAL SILVER OF HIM AHH
Literally just pulled kazuha from the banner and I am not disappointed. Edit there is a 4 star sword that is rewarded from kazuha's story quest that looks tailored for him because it boost his plunging damage Edit number 2: I ended up pulling c2 Kazuha.
This video opened my eyes. First I thought: why would I go for kazuha if I already have venti?! But im def going for kazuha. He does something completely else
Hi! Kazuha main here, if you have 2 party members with Fav weapons, I would recommend Sac Sword as a ER crutch, or Iron Sting for the EM substat, but Freedom Sworn is broken as hell
Coming back to Genshin now since Kokomis debut, how far behind will I feel? Have I missed too many limited weapons and crowns? Are the meta weapons of before considered bad or powercrept already? Just some worries from not playing for a long time
@@Fosbits if it’s really as simple as this, you’re a saint and a hero. I loved this game but left due to burnout and nothing to do. But I have lots of quests to catch up on so I’m excited. Thank you for the response!
I think you'll be fine but it depends on how willing you are to craft weapons/do their quests and pull for characters and weapons. Most characters will get 3 reruns so you still have hu tao, ganyu, raiden and more coming back eventually
genshin's been really good at there being not any powercreep! i think the only significant new meta is double hydro cores, especially double hydro hutao with a flex unit (xiangling, kazuha, fischl, zhongli, etc) double hydro being yelan and xingqiu. but even those are only an addition, not power creep, and use already meta characters
With Dendro around the corner, looking like another inert reaction with Anemo like Geo, I hope that the new model of elemental reactions doesn’t swing away from Anemo too hard, because it would be a shame to swing away from the fun smooth play Kazuha offers
@@Sakuta3220 I’ve definitely been slipping Kazuha into my aggravate or hyperbloom teams for his resistance shred! Still a powerful support engine on a team, as hoped
@@TibbyII fav sword kazoo allows stacking atk/em/crit on xiangling and need like 2 bennett E at most, reducing downtime and increasing overall dps, because ER to dmg conversion of emblem is less dmg per substat
yeah while leveling talents doesnt conrribute much, at some point your artifacts become so minmaxed that leveling talents just becomes a more resim efficient dps increase rather than using thousands of resin in the viri domain
I'm just glad more people are getting to enjoy Kazuha now. I've had my C2 Kazuha since his first banner so I think I'll skip his re-run to save up for Sumeru. Or maybe...try to wish for Heizou 🤔
I always have a hard time with not grouped enemies especially on floors 9 up. I got him and level him up and his talents are now 8/8/8. At first I was thinking maybe put him with Itto so he can group the enemies then that would waste his EM as well as Gorou buff so I placed him with Xiangling, Xingqiu and Kaeya. I was surprised with how good he is. He is my second five star after Itto and man he does wonders. Plus very easy to build as well. Though I can only run him with iron sting coz I'm using my favonius and sacrificial sword on other chars
Literally lost my 50/50 to keqing after like 70 pulls last week and today I got kazuha at like 10 pity and now I’m more than ready to finally use this man.
I want to give people some pro tip on kazuha. Kazuha doesn't do much dmg , if you're going to make him a sub-dps , he's nothing close to someone like Venti. however he'll give you 4% dmg every 100 EM he has. - Go viridescent, it's his best set. - Since you'll go viridescent, you'll want EM. EM is everything . It drastically improves his swirl dmg and buffs your team dmg. - ER is 2nd most important stat. I'd put it first if you seriously lack ER in your build. Since you want to do use both your E.Skill and E.Burst when swapping to kazuha. - Kazuha dmg bonus applies on swirl. It's not delimited to his E.Skill or E.Burst. Something people get confused a lot with. As long as you swirl and absorb an element. Your party will gain dmg boost. - He's best to be used in an elemental team. An elemental team is a team with 2 unit of the same element, usually same as the main dps. This ensure easier elemental absorption and dmg boost for his very little rate of swirling. In that regard he's not able to buff Geo nor Physical dmg. - ATK% & Crit stats are nice but not important depending on how you'll use Kazuha. If your kazuha has enough ER to do burst everytime then your swirl will last for 12 s + 8s , So after using his burst your main dps has 20s to attack with the bonus denoted by the down arrows on your enemies. if you'll instead swirl with his E.Skill then building him with ATK% would boost his swirl dmg while crit will boost his Anemo dmg. People who uses Favonius will go with Crit but i'd advice farming perfect artifact with high ER to avoid going for crit. Since EM can be main stat on Circle, Sand and Goblet, ER can easily be your next focus. This is why Iron Sting is his best F2P option for end-game level. Pro tip with Kazuha. Using Kazuha Hold Skill does more dmg on the 1st impact but gives a 9s cd and takes longer to do a high dmg plunge attack. if you do a small jump before using his tap Skill, his 1st impact will have a bit less dmg, but you'll have a faster high plunge attack and have his cd ready should you need him to swirl a particular element. Other misconception: Festering Desire is a deceptively good weapon for Kazuha. Sadly the 2nd part of his E.Skill is considered as a plunge attack and will not benefit from Festering desire's effect.
Well I wanted both Klee and Kazuha but I got more than that luckily, got C4 Ningguang, C2 Heizou, C1 Thoma and Qiqi. Got Kazuha in my last pull so I'm satisfied. I'm f2p btw and just returned since I got bored and left in November 2020 😄
I got enough constellations for him to run him as my main dps so i do that instead lol. Nice to see he works well with childe tho bc he was my previous main dps before kazuha came into the picture so if i do ever want to take the support route i have him.
Okay but why couldn't the sword from his quest be an EM sword! It could have been a GREAT reward for his quest, if it just had EM sub and boosted EM from the effect instead of ATK....It's so depressing.
EM is a trap on kazuha. Video has it completely wrong. Kagotsurube Isshin is a great weapon for him, actually give it a try. Its a shame it isn't crit rate or damage, but the timing matches his skills which means a great deal. But whatever you do, don't give him an anemo damage goblet.
@@carbon1255 yeah people always say "try new builds" but I don't have the resources for that shit, I don't throw my wallet at this game, so when I get even a half decent artifact set on a character I don't change it up. and I don't buy what you are selling on the "EM is a trap" thing, EM is AMAZING on Kazuha, I full stacked EM on him and he is easily the best support I have in the game, and despite having practically no crit rate or crit damage to speak of, his skill and ult damage rivals basically all of my characters who actually are built for damage.
I got Keqing'd on the Yelan banner, decided to save my guarantee for Kazuha. Got him first multi. So now I'm going into sumeru with 82 summons. More by the end of this patch.
@@jinorism Im not absolutely sure but I did level mine up to 90 just cause. Level him up to 90 just to be sure, a few hero's wits wont set you back too far :D Hope you enjoy using him!
A year ago, I'm pulling for Kazuha. Got Mona instead (my first 50/50), at that day, I'm no more trusting my 50/50 Now I'm pulling for Kazuha, got Mona instead. But I won't let him go away, so I've prepared another primos for this SHIT
Got him on the first pull yesterday. 17th pull in total, now he is 975 EM, level 81 and almost 160 ER from substats. I got so lucky with him winning the 50/50 that I fear I will lose the next character I want.
Perfect! I decided to throw 20 wishes at the banner to try for Heizou and got him, and he brought his friend Kazuha 😳 I may have screamed as I was on zero pity lmao and not expecting to get him
ALSO: Kazuha's new weapon (cursed blade) is aesthetically pleasing but NOT nearly as good as favonious, iron sting, or other weapons I mentioned for an optimal EM build. You can use it if you want to look pretty though.

here..after 3rd rerun and finally won the 50/50 with hard pity ..im so glad😭
I got him accidentally so to this day I’ve still only lost 1 50/50
I still didn't get him! This is my second kazuha banner but my bf did so now I'm helping him since he's new to genshin 😂
just got him now
Thank you for actually explaining substats! My brain is not designed for figuring these details out when gaming so I am always lost when it comes to build.
for anyone looking for something more updated!
Xiphos' Moonlight is another great weapon for Kazuha, it is a 4-star gacha option so it's not exactly f2p friendly but it strikes a really nice medium between Iron Sting and Favonius Sword
it has EM as its substat, 165 when Lvl 90, and the passive gives ER based on your EM. even at R1 you can get up to +36% ER from the passive if you have 1000EM (+0.036% ER for every point of EM.) This goes up to +72% ER at R5.
This lets you get a total of 841 EM (full EM build + Lvl 90 Weapon + 6th Ascension) without any extra EM substats or external buffs, which will make the passive give you around +30% ER at R1, +60% ER at R5. get a few alright ER and EM substats and you're golden, makes it much easier to sneak some Crit in there too
I didn't know the plunge after his skill will scale from his normal attack, I thought it just activates kind of another state of his skill. Until now i had his talents 6/12/9 but that's definetly going to change, tysm ^^
"This ability with an amazing name"
Ah yes, the elemental burst thats voiced by Mr socks
I just got Kazuha and Heizou! Good luck to everyone pulling for them!
Been waiting soo long for Kazuha since i started playing. ok lets go guide videos! I just got Kazuha and Freedom Sworn!! all my money worth waiting ahaha
Man, your guides are always top notch.
8:18 trying to farm for substats? i can't even get a freakin EM mainstat for goblet and circlet!! i've been farming for weeks, months! T_T
You also forgot to add the element priority for his swirling. It goes Pyro>Hydro>Electro>Cryo
so pyro swirling is just deemed the best then?
@@ho7mer No, everyone but traveller absorbs in that order, traveller absorbs cryo first for some reason. What that means is if there is multi elements nearby it always absorbs the priority element. Say there is a hydro slime and a cryo slime it will absorb hydro for example.
@@carbon1255 we all know why traveller sucks cryo first, he/she will suck the tsaritsa like there’s no tomorrow.
@@ho7mer no it's just the priority. It helps with knowing what's going to swirl rather than just random elements mixed in
@@erenkandogan5760 They aren't talking about swirling, they mean elemental absorption.
Who's here after the re-run of his banner
Me
I'm planning on pulling for kazuha, but had no idea how to build him. Thank you for this video, it should help!
I got Kazuha after losing my 50/50 yesterday, then winning it today with 4 pity
Planning on replacing my Sucrose because my poor Freeze Team is lagging behind. My fault for building her without doing research lol. Great video!
Same! Im using sucrose as a plug-in for Kazuha and she’s just..mediocre at best. Im so excited for Kazuha and, obviously, the hydro archon herself Sangonomiya Kokomi. I’m going to run both of them on my freeze team with Ayaka+Shenhe.
i love your videos, theyre so organized and very well explained keep up the amazing work!❤
4 more days! Can't wait to be a F2P kazuha-haver
Every team recommended in every video I watched is missing only one hero to be complete lmao
Who is here after 3.7 live stream to find what to pull for??
👇
I prefer Iron Sting overall because of that EM substat and additional atk buff on its passive especially if you have it on R5 (which I have one)…but I would only recommend this only if you have a good amount of ER. My Kazuha has 170 ER which is quite enough for me already.. but lower than that, ER swords would be much better, because a consistent rotation is way better than having big atk number with poor rotation because of the lack of energy
Very nice guide for EM Kazuha! Thanks as usual for the info.
I do think talking a bit more about hybrid Kazu with EM/Anemo DMG/Crit would be good though, specially for the big majority of players who just cannot get proper EM build from that god forsaken domain, bc I've literally farmed for months and got no proper goblet OR circlet for it, so honestly I think most people (aside from whales or very lucky/old players) needs to end up going for the hybrid build.
You can use 4 star VV EM pieces too.
Is 300+ em good for kazuha?
6:05 the flex 😭
kazuha is going to be my main since hes like my fav character in whole genshin impact I EVEN ORDERED 3 POSTERS AND A NECKLASE MADE OF REAL SILVER OF HIM AHH
I got Kazuha shortly after starting the game, he has been on my team since i pulled him, he basically carried me to ar 50
Just got kazuha an hour ago on my first 10 pull and that means I won 50/50 4 times in a row
imagine flexing being lucky when u can flex being unlucky 😎
I'm at 5 pity, not guaranteed..i'm not gonna get him, right? :(
I'm on 68 pity and I would have to win the 5050
If I get him it means I have won my 4th 5050 in a row as well
@@highkage2612 if I won 50/50 last time, I can win again? or it's not guaranteed?
@@gaby3662 not guaranteed.wait for his last day pls.stack rolling usually gives me a 5 star
I got kazuha in 50)50 but on late pity
Literally just pulled kazuha from the banner and I am not disappointed.
Edit there is a 4 star sword that is rewarded from kazuha's story quest that looks tailored for him because it boost his plunging damage
Edit number 2: I ended up pulling c2 Kazuha.
Finally got kazuha and gave him 700 em, feeling blessed lmaoo
HOW PLEASE TELL ME HOW 😭😭
@@emir2100 most likely a full em build

Here after winning kazuha's 50/50 right after pulling a neuvilette lmao
😂😂😂 me here to , worst part i got kazuha after one pull of getting neuvellette
This video opened my eyes. First I thought: why would I go for kazuha if I already have venti?! But im def going for kazuha. He does something completely else
Hi! Kazuha main here, if you have 2 party members with Fav weapons, I would recommend Sac Sword as a ER crutch, or Iron Sting for the EM substat, but Freedom Sworn is broken as hell
Coming back to Genshin now since Kokomis debut, how far behind will I feel? Have I missed too many limited weapons and crowns? Are the meta weapons of before considered bad or powercrept already? Just some worries from not playing for a long time
Nah you’ll be fine, nothing has changed as much
@@Fosbits if it’s really as simple as this, you’re a saint and a hero. I loved this game but left due to burnout and nothing to do. But I have lots of quests to catch up on so I’m excited. Thank you for the response!
I think you'll be fine but it depends on how willing you are to craft weapons/do their quests and pull for characters and weapons. Most characters will get 3 reruns so you still have hu tao, ganyu, raiden and more coming back eventually
Nothing very game-breaking. You're good, just in time to prepare for sumeru.
genshin's been really good at there being not any powercreep! i think the only significant new meta is double hydro cores, especially double hydro hutao with a flex unit (xiangling, kazuha, fischl, zhongli, etc) double hydro being yelan and xingqiu. but even those are only an addition, not power creep, and use already meta characters
i leveled 90 him and gave him sucrose’s artifacts and i was so amazed and satisfied with the dmg but then i realized he only had lvl 1 talents 😳
That’s because EM only scales off the character’s level
Yeah because talent level doesn't matter on kazuha. You can leave it at 1
Same lol
Me too lmao 💀💀
@@freddiem6805 no, the “Midare Ranzan”(I think I spelled it right) scales off of talent level and atk
Just randomly wished 🌝skipped the animation and won the 50 50 on 67 pity. I'm so happppyyyyy
Awesome video, Thanks for the updated Guide.
With Dendro around the corner, looking like another inert reaction with Anemo like Geo, I hope that the new model of elemental reactions doesn’t swing away from Anemo too hard, because it would be a shame to swing away from the fun smooth play Kazuha offers
Yo! you were right but you can just swirls electro instead of dendro in that teams
@@Sakuta3220 I’ve definitely been slipping Kazuha into my aggravate or hyperbloom teams for his resistance shred! Still a powerful support engine on a team, as hoped
Favonius really is best option for him, he can recharge xiangling on his own with one skill, and his crit is only 29.9%
Or just use Emblem on Xiangling and stack ER, the use Bennet's particles.
@@TibbyII fav sword kazoo allows stacking atk/em/crit on xiangling and need like 2 bennett E at most, reducing downtime and increasing overall dps, because ER to dmg conversion of emblem is less dmg per substat
How much EM do you have on him?
@@axisboise 812 without iron sting
5:10 on an EM build, talents do not contribute that much. Your team would generally need to be hyperinvested before it becomes worth it
yeah while leveling talents doesnt conrribute much, at some point your artifacts become so minmaxed that leveling talents just becomes a more resim efficient dps increase rather than using thousands of resin in the viri domain
but yeah you dont have to level his talents and just leave him at 111 if you dont wanna spend your resources
i love you zyox thanks for the guide my favourite youtuber
Amazing video as always. Hope you will make an updated video on playing Klee as well.
I'm just glad more people are getting to enjoy Kazuha now. I've had my C2 Kazuha since his first banner so I think I'll skip his re-run to save up for Sumeru. Or maybe...try to wish for Heizou 🤔
Did Zy0x breathe that entire video
I always have a hard time with not grouped enemies especially on floors 9 up. I got him and level him up and his talents are now 8/8/8. At first I was thinking maybe put him with Itto so he can group the enemies then that would waste his EM as well as Gorou buff so I placed him with Xiangling, Xingqiu and Kaeya. I was surprised with how good he is. He is my second five star after Itto and man he does wonders. Plus very easy to build as well. Though I can only run him with iron sting coz I'm using my favonius and sacrificial sword on other chars
Literally lost my 50/50 to keqing after like 70 pulls last week and today I got kazuha at like 10 pity and now I’m more than ready to finally use this man.
Thanks for this guide! Pulled Kazuha a few hours ago. Best of luck to everyone who will be pulling for him! Kazuha wanters will be Kazuha havers!
I want to give people some pro tip on kazuha.
Kazuha doesn't do much dmg , if you're going to make him a sub-dps , he's nothing close to someone like Venti.
however he'll give you 4% dmg every 100 EM he has.
- Go viridescent, it's his best set.
- Since you'll go viridescent, you'll want EM. EM is everything . It drastically improves his swirl dmg and buffs your team dmg.
- ER is 2nd most important stat. I'd put it first if you seriously lack ER in your build.
Since you want to do use both your E.Skill and E.Burst when swapping to kazuha.
- Kazuha dmg bonus applies on swirl. It's not delimited to his E.Skill or E.Burst. Something people get confused a lot with.
As long as you swirl and absorb an element. Your party will gain dmg boost.
- He's best to be used in an elemental team. An elemental team is a team with 2 unit of the same element, usually same as the main dps.
This ensure easier elemental absorption and dmg boost for his very little rate of swirling.
In that regard he's not able to buff Geo nor Physical dmg.
- ATK% & Crit stats are nice but not important depending on how you'll use Kazuha.
If your kazuha has enough ER to do burst everytime then your swirl will last for 12 s + 8s ,
So after using his burst your main dps has 20s to attack with the bonus denoted by the down arrows on your enemies.
if you'll instead swirl with his E.Skill then building him with ATK% would boost his swirl dmg
while crit will boost his Anemo dmg. People who uses Favonius will go with Crit but i'd advice farming perfect artifact with high ER to avoid going for crit.
Since EM can be main stat on Circle, Sand and Goblet, ER can easily be your next focus. This is why Iron Sting is his best F2P option for end-game level.
Pro tip with Kazuha. Using Kazuha Hold Skill does more dmg on the 1st impact but gives a 9s cd and takes longer to do a high dmg plunge attack.
if you do a small jump before using his tap Skill, his 1st impact will have a bit less dmg, but you'll have a faster high plunge attack and have his cd ready should you need him to swirl a particular element.
Other misconception: Festering Desire is a deceptively good weapon for Kazuha.
Sadly the 2nd part of his E.Skill is considered as a plunge attack and will not benefit from Festering desire's effect.
thanks bro , this really help me alot and i just win 50-50 5 minutes before this comment haha
Thanks bro i got him while pulling for heizo very early pity and I haven’t prepared for him 😭
The only way you can effectively use Favonius on Kazuha without missing a ton of EM is by having insane artifacts.
Take a shot everytime zy0x says, “because of that”
Jean guide update because I just lost the 50/50? 🤡
Rip
100/80
That’s rough buddy
She is great
Well I wanted both Klee and Kazuha but I got more than that luckily, got C4 Ningguang, C2 Heizou, C1 Thoma and Qiqi. Got Kazuha in my last pull so I'm satisfied. I'm f2p btw and just returned since I got bored and left in November 2020 😄
I got enough constellations for him to run him as my main dps so i do that instead lol.
Nice to see he works well with childe tho bc he was my previous main dps before kazuha came into the picture so if i do ever want to take the support route i have him.
I GOT HIM!!! I really love his playstyle so gonna make him a main dps
I love Zy0x because he’s a gigachad, handsome, kind, nice, big pp, smart, entertaining, funny
Here before 5.0 rerun cozz i was soo unlucky😢 but now I'm guaranteed RRAAHHGGGGFFXHHH
same lmfaaooooo

@@SøulSapien im sure u can get him theres still time for his banner
Got him finally after 1 year❤
Me too
Pov : You got Kazuha in 3.7 banner and you are here . Btw i got him at 15 pulls ( Yao Yao and Heizou too ) i was at 75 pity. What about you ?
I lost the 50/50 to Jean and then I immediately got him in the next 10 pull. He's my very first limited five star 😍
Got him at 4 pity 💀 in 1 multi pull
i got him on 5050 for 60 wishes and on 30 pitty. yeah. max pitty
Checking this out for 5.0 rerun 💪🏽
Just won my first 50/50 on him, I literally have lost every single one lmao but I’m so happy I won on his
I just got him today, and I finally 36 star'd the abyss. Before I got him I wasn't even close. Kazooman is very good
VV is good, Kazuha is just a decent application method.
Okay but why couldn't the sword from his quest be an EM sword! It could have been a GREAT reward for his quest, if it just had EM sub and boosted EM from the effect instead of ATK....It's so depressing.
EM is a trap on kazuha. Video has it completely wrong. Kagotsurube Isshin is a great weapon for him, actually give it a try. Its a shame it isn't crit rate or damage, but the timing matches his skills which means a great deal. But whatever you do, don't give him an anemo damage goblet.
@@carbon1255 yeah people always say "try new builds" but I don't have the resources for that shit, I don't throw my wallet at this game, so when I get even a half decent artifact set on a character I don't change it up. and I don't buy what you are selling on the "EM is a trap" thing, EM is AMAZING on Kazuha, I full stacked EM on him and he is easily the best support I have in the game, and despite having practically no crit rate or crit damage to speak of, his skill and ult damage rivals basically all of my characters who actually are built for damage.
I got Keqing'd on the Yelan banner, decided to save my guarantee for Kazuha. Got him first multi. So now I'm going into sumeru with 82 summons. More by the end of this patch.
Haha same
Last year I did like 78 wishes and ran out of primos, I got him now but I didn’t prepare so this helped
Glad to see people are finally getting best boi kazooie. Got him back when he initially dropped and he has always been stuck in my party ever since.
ooh question: when he said level him up to 90 is it like actually level him up to 90 or just ascend him to 90
also you’re the first og kazuha haver i’ve met that isn’t incredibly annoying and gatekeepy, wow.
@@jinorism Im not absolutely sure but I did level mine up to 90 just cause. Level him up to 90 just to be sure, a few hero's wits wont set you back too far :D Hope you enjoy using him!
@@flwooop thank you💘
A year ago, I'm pulling for Kazuha. Got Mona instead (my first 50/50), at that day, I'm no more trusting my 50/50
Now I'm pulling for Kazuha, got Mona instead. But I won't let him go away, so I've prepared another primos for this SHIT
16:04 The team name is “Xiao is tall” 💀
Got him on the first pull yesterday. 17th pull in total, now he is 975 EM, level 81 and almost 160 ER from substats. I got so lucky with him winning the 50/50 that I fear I will lose the next character I want.
Your commentary makes me want to take a deep breath. Other than that, thanks for the tip on this bad ass unit.
1:57 HE REALLY SAID "THIS ABILITY WITH AN AMAZING NAME" I CAN'T
Perfect! I decided to throw 20 wishes at the banner to try for Heizou and got him, and he brought his friend Kazuha 😳 I may have screamed as I was on zero pity lmao and not expecting to get him
I finally got him in 62 pity, I was so scared cause I only had 10 pulls worth primos left.
