Character Profile

Kaedehara Kazuha is an Anemo Support built around his enemy grouping and teamwide buffing. He buffs the DMG Bonus of whatever Element he triggers a Swirl reaction with, can apply some Element with his Burst, and with his Elemental Skill can draw enemies around him in.

Formerly one of the premier support options in the game, for years after his release, he struggles to reach that level nowadays. Current endgame structures do not significantly incentivize grouping, if at all, and DMG Bonus is less sought after than ever due to Lunar and Stellar teams not using it. Said DMG Bonus buffs are also not particularly impressive anymore, even in teams that do use it. He typically loses to his competitor in Sucrose, and even the recent Hexerei buffs can present an obstacle he can't overcome in many team structures.

In endgame scenarios that do incentivize grouping, he remains a generally solid option. His signature weapon in Freedom-Sworn is still decently strong in certain teams, although his Constellations leave much to be desired.

Kazuha does not want to his Burst in most teams he finds himself in nowadays. It's costly, tends to not provide a whole lot, and can be actively detrimental depending on what Element it absorbs. In teams that it is useful in, such as Neuvillette teams or certain reaction based teams alongside his Constellation 2, you will generally attempt to mitigate his Energy requirements as much as possible.

Best Teams

Amplifying Reaction teams

Melt:

Arlecchino or Mavuika - Kaedehara Kazuha - Citlali - Bennett or Nicole

Worth noting that with Nicole, Sucrose is likely to be better due to enabling Celestial Gift. Kazuha is a weak option for Mavuika due to not providing her with any Fighting Spirit, but he can be useful against a boss like the Mandragora in Stygian Onslaught. He's actually solid for Arlecchino if he has Freedom-Sworn though.

Vaporize:

Arlecchino - Kaedehara Kazuha - Mona - Nicole

Mualani - Kaedehara Kazuha - Mona - Durin

Non-Amplifying Reaction Teams

Varka - Kaedehara Kazuha - Durin - Nicole

Neuvillette - Kaedehara Kazuha - Furina - Xilonen

Arlecchino - Kaedehara Kazuha - Bennett - Xilonen

Talent Priority

None of Kazuha's talents are particularly useful. They only serve to increase his personal damage, which is entirely negligible. His Swirls will typically provide more damage than his talent values, if anything,

Constellations

C1Scarlet Hills
C2Yamaarashi Tailwind
C3Maple Monogatari
C4Oozora Genpou
C5Wisdom of Bansei
C6Crimson Momiji

C1: Not particularly useful, and can be essentially replicated by using Sacrificial Sword if necessary. It will rarely make a real difference in an endgame encounter, even if using Kazuha's Burst is useful.

C2: 200 EM is a substantial buff, but it requires Burst usage. This can be tricky to do in teams that it actually matters for: Kazuha will always want to use Viridescent Venerer, so he wants to Swirl the relevant PHEC element. In an Amplifying Reaction team such as Arlecchino Melt, this means Kazuha will typically want to be before Citlali in the rotation. If doing this, using Burst will make it infuse Pyro, which is obviously entirely unwanted. Kazuha will instead have to go after Citlali, making triggering VV very difficult.

C3: Negligible.

C4: Extra Energy is nice, but negligible.

C5: Negligible.

C6: Turns Kazuha into an on-field carry of sorts, although not a particularly good one. If you want to play him like one, this is how. If not, it basically entirely doesn't matter outside of very niche setups that rely on him Swirling the Element infused in his Weapon.
