With a Viridescent Venerer set, he can further support allies by decreasing a target’s resistance against the elemental damage of the swirled element in the reaction. How well he supports his party also relies on that attribute, as he can buff teammates better with a higher EM than with a lower one. Kazuha benefits greatly from an Elemental Mastery build, as his Swirl damage increases the higher it is. As with other Anemo-imbued attacks, Kazuha Slash can cause a Swirl reaction when a Hydro/Pyro/Electro/Cryo element is introduced to it. As long as the whirlwind is active, it periodically sends out bursts of Anemo damage within its AoE. His Burst, Kazuha Slash, makes him slash once in a large AoE, dealing Anemo damage and leaving behind a whirlwind. The skill can also be used in midair, good for traversal and reaching a few Chihayaburu can be charged to take effect in a larger AoE, as well as deal higher damage. It deals Anemo damage and also pulls in nearby enemies and objects. For 10 seconds after activation, he can do a special plunge attack, Midare Ranzan. His E skill, Chihayaburu, pulls in enemies and deals Anemo damage as it launches Kazuha in the air. Other characters just throw their swords in the air, making them reappear at their backs as a ‘returning’ animation. He does a sheathing motion at certain points in his normal attack combo, when he uses ‘Midare Ranzan’, and a few other actions. The most glaring difference is how Kazuha ‘returns’ his sword. Even his swordsmanship is different from those of Monstadt or Liyue. Due to his homeland being inspired by Japan, he definitely fits the look of a ‘wandering samurai’, making it one of the reasons why there are players who love Japanese culture snag a Genshin Impact Kazuha account.
Who’s waited for a rerun banner ever since patch 1.6.Kazuha is the first character from Inazuma to be introduced to players. This katana will perhaps not only serve as symbolic closure to the pages of Kazuha’s personal history but for players wanting to obtain him. Kazuha’s yet to see a re-release ever since patch 1.6, and he’s proven himself to be a premium Anemo support following said release, factoring into many Spiral Abyss and Open-World teams. There are other aspects to consider as to the release of this katana, however, and that is the high likelihood of a rerun banner coming for Kazuha. But players could refer to existing data to come to their conclusions regarding such matters. The fact that the Sword can’t be refined makes it difficult to be optimistic about the weapon turning out useful in a practical sense.
It was also stated that the sword will have a name until the completion of the story chapter, further reinforcing its close ties with Kazuha. In his voice lines, character backgrounds, and the recent events.Īccording to the Twitter post, the sword is among the rewards obtainable for completing the Kazuha Story chapter set to release during patch 2.8 and cannot be refined upon its obtainment. And one of them was a 4-star sword that looks to be the signature sword of Kazuha that has been referenced numerous times. With Mihoyo recommencing Beta Tests following the recent announcements regarding patches 2.7 and 2.8 came a batch of leaked character information and event details. The 2.8 leaks would reinforce this perspective of Kazuha’s story being developed further by Mihoyo, with the katana carrying lore implications and continuing from the details received during patch 2.6.
Including his most recent involvement with the events of Patch 2.6, where the event story revolved around uncovering the blade forging history of his familial background, and what went wrong to make him the wandering ronin that he is now. Due to not having a katana that could be reliably drawn upon during his in-game appearances. This is presumably why Kazuha has been portrayed wielding wind sword apparitions in Genshin Impact promotional materials or the three-star Fillet Blade. Patch 1.6 delivered both his character banner and the weapon banner Freedom Sworn, an elemental mastery sword that fitted his gameplay, but not necessarily his aesthetics. A seeming filler character that served more the purpose of filling in the gaps between Liyue and the impending arrival of Inazuma at the time. The Anemo Sword-wielder arrived during the earlier days of Genshin Impact. Though Kazuha came with a coinciding sword during his initial release in Genshin Impact, the Devs look to be finally ready to deliver him a katana that matched both his design and color scheme.
