Genshin Impact: Kazuha’s best weapon

Let’s talk about the best weapons for Kazuha in Genshin Impact.

Freedom-Sworn (elemental mastery) – Freedom-Sworn (seen in the image below) happens to be one of the best 5-star weapons for Kazuha in Genshin Impact. This is primarily due to its elemental mastery sub-stat and its innate perks. It provides +10% damage and grants a Sigil of Rebellion whenever a character triggers an elemental reaction. The effect can even trigger if the character isn’t on the field.

Since Kazuha triggers Swirl fairly often, you should obtain 2x Sigil of Rebellion easily. This is converted into a buff called “Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance” which increases normal, charged, and plunging attack damage by 16%, as well as ATK by 20%. The effect lasts 12 seconds.

Skyward Blade (energy recharge) or Primordial Jade Cutter (crit rate) – Both 5-star weapons work well for Kazuha especially if you want him in a DPS-oriented role. Skyward Blade grants boosts to your movement speed, attack speed, and normal/charged attacks. Meanwhile, Primordial Jade Cutter has the all-important crit rate sub-stat, and you gain an ATK buff based on Kazuha’s max HP too.

Iron Sting (elemental mastery) – Naturally, 5-star weapons can be very expensive to get, so you could simply opt for a 4-star substitute. This is where the Iron Sting comes in. It’s a decent free-to-play (F2P) alternative for Kazuha since it comes from the blacksmith’s forge. Likewise, the Iron Sting has an elemental mastery sub-stat, as well as the “Infusion Stinger” perk that increases overall damage by 6% for six seconds after you deal elemental damage (this stacks up to two times).

Festering Desire (energy recharge) – There’s also another option that’s decent for both support and sub-DPS roles, and that’s the Festering Desire. This weapon came from The Chalk Prince & The Dragon event, and it has energy recharge as a sub-stat. Its “Undying Admiration” perk increases elemental skill damage and elemental skill crit rate. However, this tends to be better when equipped by characters like Bennett.

Blackcliff Longsword (crit damage) – Speaking of DPS roles, the Blackcliff Longsword (from Paimon’s Shop) definitely helps. Kazuha can group up mobs and quickly kill them, leading to high uptime for its ATK-boosting effects.

Lion’s Roar (ATK%) – Lion’s Roar (which comes from wishes) is also a good 4-star weapon. However, this only buffs damage against enemies affected by Pyro or Electro.

Sacrificial Sword (energy recharge) – Also from wishes, the Sacrificial Sword greatly aids Kazuha’s burst charge. Moreover, if you’ve got a high refinement rank, you can reliably reset his elemental skill cooldown with the weapon’s perk.

The Black Sword (crit rate) – Lastly, The Black Sword (from the Gnostic Hymn Battle Pass) remains a viable option. The “Justice” perk increases normal/charged attack damage, and crits allow you to regenerate HP. The only downside here is that it doesn’t affect Kazuha’s plunging attacks (which you’ll often do as part of his elemental skill usage).

Anyway, let’s talk about the best artifacts for Kazuha in the next part of our Genshin Impact guide.
