KAZUHA TALENTS (ABILITIES)
Garyuu Bladework – Normal Attack
- Normal Attack: Perform up to 5 rapid strikes.
- Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
- Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. If this Plunging Attack is triggered by Chihayaburu, it will be converted to Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan.
- Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan: When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG and will create a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents.
Chihayaburu – Elemental Skill
- Unleashes a secret technique as fierce as the rushing wind that pulls objects and opponents towards Kazuha’s current position before launching opponents within the AoE, dealing Anemo DMG and lifting Kazuha into the air on a rushing gust of wind.
- Press: Can be used in mid-air.
- Hold: Charges up before unleashing greater Anemo DMG over a larger AoE than Press Mode.
- Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan: Within 10s of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan.
- When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG. On landing, Kazuha creates a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents. Midare Ranzan’s DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.
Kazuha Slash – Elemental Burst
- The signature technique of Kazuha’s self-styled bladework — a single slash that strikes with the force of the first winds of autumn, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. The blade’s passage will leave behind a field named “Autumn Whirlwind” that periodically deals AoE Anemo DMG to opponents within its range.
- Elemental Absorption: If Autumn Whirlwind comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.
Soumon Swordsmanship – 1st Ascension Passive
- If Chihayaburu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro when cast, Chihayaburu will absorb that element and if Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan is used before the effect expires, it will deal an additional 200% ATK of the absorbed elemental type as DMG. This will be considered Plunging Attack DMG.
- Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of Chihayaburu.
Poetics of Fuubutsu – 4th Ascension Passive
- Upon triggering a Swirl reaction, Kaedehara Kazuha will grant teammates a 0.04% Elemental DMG Bonus to their corresponding Element for every point of Elemental Mastery he has for 8s. Bonuses for different elements obtained through this method can co-exist.
Cloud Strider – Utility Passive
- Decreases sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%.
- Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

KAZUHA CHARACTER TEASER
The journey following his escape from Inazuma will be long and fraught with peril, something Kaedehara Kazuha is well aware of.
The moon floats in the sky, and a gentle breeze blows by. Though a storm is coming, the ronin shall brave it with song and wine.
KAZUHA CHARACTER DEMO
The clouds float above the vast mountains, the sky is azure and the water is still. It’s a beautiful day to create poetry.
It’s a pity that there are always people who don’t appreciate the beauty of literature…
But it matters naught. When the wind of the sword settles, the fallen leaves will drift through the wind and the poems will come to life again.
