Notes

• Kazuha cannot strike enemies that are lifted by Venti's Elemental Burst.
• Kazuha's N5 attack can be used to dragonstrike.
• Kazuha's 2-hit N3 is "not linked" but his 3-hit N5 is "linked" when it comes to Echoes of an Offering. For more information see this Vault Entry.

Skill

Chihayaburu

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.
Within 10s of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan.

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
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.

"Wind in branches grieves
Bygone ages, gods of old
Withered autumn leaves"

Attribute	Midare Ranzan

Low/High Impulse Type	4 / 7

Notes

• Kazuha's Chihayaburu (Hold) can cause certain enemies to take Fall DMG.
• By double tapping your glider as soon as you've tapped your Skill on Kazuha, you can shorten the air time thereby landing on the ground a little bit faster if you don't intend to plunge (for example if you want to reapply VV shred to some Frozen enemies but you don't want to Shatter them).
• Some forms of interruption after casting Chihayaburu may cause the ability to cast Midare Ranzan to persist up to 10s without remaining airborne.
• Plunging immediately after a tap E guarantees a high plunge while waiting might give low plunge damage.
• Absorption priority: Pyro > Hydro > Electro > Cryo
• Kazuha E will, under certain conditions, fail to absorb self auras
• Midare Ranzan does not have a minimum height limit, meaning Kazuha can start the Plunging Attack a lot lower than a regular Plunging Attack.
• Midare Ranzan can be considered as an Anemo Infusion which cannot be overridden by other Infusions.

Burst

Kazuha Slash

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.

"I see eternity go by in an instant, the autumns of many years from a single leaf. Thus I shall slice this maple in a flash, and ask a question of the ages."

Ascension Passives

Passive

Cloud Strider

Decreases sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%.
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

Ascension 1

Soumon Swordsmanship

If Chihayaburu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro when cast, this 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.

Type	Soumon Swordsmanship
Skill DMG	200%
GU	1U
Damage Element	Absorbed Element
Damage Type	Plunge

Notes

• The Elemental damage is applied before Midare Ranzan, allowing it to Swirl without a pre-existing aura on enemies, additionally this also means that the applied aura can react with pre-existing aura, potentially resulting in no Swirl.
• Absorption priority: Pyro > Hydro > Electro > Cryo

Ascension 4

Poetics of Fuubutsu

Upon triggering a Swirl reaction, Kaedehara Kazuha will grant all party members a 0.04% Elemental DMG Bonus to the element absorbed by Swirl for every point of Elemental Mastery he has for 8s. Bonuses for different elements obtained through this method can co-exist.

Notes

• Kazuha's 4th ascension passive works off-field and only gives bonus damage on swirled elements.
• Kazuha's 4th ascension passive will reflect his Elemental Mastery from the time of the Swirl, even if his Elemental Mastery later changes during its duration.
• Kazuha's 4th ascension passive overrides previous instances on every Swirl of the same Element, using his current Elemental Mastery.
• The Elemental DMG Bonus persists for its full duration even when this character leaves party. Click here for the finding.
