Kazuha: Swirl on the Plunge, Infuse the Burst After

Chihayaburu pulls enemies and launches him. The plunge at the end is the Swirl. Tap for a fast pull. Hold if you need the higher jump to cross a gap or to come down later, after a teammate has applied the element. The plunge is where Viridescent Venerer shreds resistance. A skill that never plunges, because you dashed away, skipped the shred.

Kazuha Slash, the burst, absorbs Hydro, Pyro, Electro, or Cryo that it touches and then deals that element inside the field. Cast it after the swirl, not before the aura exists. A passive adds elemental damage bonus to the party for the element he swirled, scaling with his Elemental Mastery. Swirl Pyro and the bonus is Pyro. Swirl the wrong element because a torch was closer than the enemy, and you buffed the torch.

Neuvillette or Furina applies Hydro. Kazuha skill, plunge, and the Hydro resistance drops. Then his burst if you want a Hydro field for the next beam. Against a Pyro enemy who must be swirled for a Xiangling team, Bennett's skill or burst applies the Pyro, Kazuha plunges, and Xiangling casts Pyronado after the shred, not before.

He is a bad choice into an enemy that is only Geo or Dendro if your damage dealer needed a Pyro or Hydro shred. Swirl cannot shred Geo or Dendro. Bring him when the damage you care about is one of the four swirlable elements.

Four-piece Viridescent Venerer. Elemental Mastery on sands, goblet, and circlet. Iron Sting or a mastery sword is the stat. Favonius Sword if the team cannot burst without the particles and you accept less Swirl damage. Freedom-Sworn is the upgrade. Do not build attack percent. His personal hits are not the rotation.

Level the skill for the pull and the plunge. The burst is next if you use the field. His normal attack stays low. The mastery share from the passive does not have a talent level. Artifacts do that work.
