Ever since his release in version 1.6, Kazuha, a five-star Anemo character has immediately secured his place atop the meta, and this trend continues up until today. Being an all-around powerhouse, the Wandering Samurai quickly became one of the best supports in Genshin Impact, thanks to his ability to round up enemies, provide buffs, and enable elemental reactions. Now, if you're wondering how to get the most out of his kit, lucky for you as we will show you all of his best artifacts and weapons in this Genshin Impact Kazuha build guide!
The stats you should aim for when using Kazuha are either Elemental Mastery (EM) or Critical Hit (Crit), depending on your needs. For a pure support build, it's recommended to stack up as much Elemental Mastery as possible, while a DPS-oriented Kazuha will require more offensive stats such as Crit.
As for his artifacts, you may choose to use any of the following depending on your preferred playstyle.

Effect
Viridescent Venerer
Pretty much like every other Anemo support who can swirl elements, Viridescent Venerer is the best artifact set available. It gives Anemo damage bonus, increases swirl damage and decreases the resistance of the enemies to the element that is swirled by Kazuha. Overall, this makes Kazuha even better in his own role.
Noblesse Oblige
Noblesse Oblige is another great option, although less superior than Viridescent Venerer. It gives Elemental Burst damage bonus, and increases the ATK of the entire team including Kazuha. When using this artifact, make sure that your team does not have two or more characters wearing this artifact as the effect does not stack.
2pc + 2pc Elemental Mastery
As mentioned, a pure support Kazuha requires a hefty amount of Elemental Mastery, 1000 being the ideal. If you're aiming to reach this, you can instead rely and combine two 2-pc artifact sets that provide Elemental Mastery.
If you've only just got your hands on Kazuha, fret not as the game has many low-tier artifacts that can cater to beginners for your Genshin Impact Kazuha build. Use any of the following 4-star artifacts while waiting for better ones!

Instructor
The Instructor is currently the best 4-star artifact set that you can equip, especially if the other members of your team requires elemental mastery just as much as Kazuha. This artifact set increases his elemental mastery. Additionally, after casting his burst, Kazuha will also provide elemental mastery for his entire team.
The Exile
For more consistent rotations, Kazuha requires around 150 to 250 energy recharge depending on the team composition. Now, if you're having an issue with your rotations, don't hesitate to rely on The Exile as it gives Energy Recharge to Kazuha and for the entire team after using his burst.

Freedom Sworn
Freedom Sworn is Kazuha's signature weapon and his best-in-slot. It has the elemental mastery substat which makes reaching 1000 EM possible.
Aside from it, Freedom Sworn increases Kazuha's damage by 10% and boosts nearby party members' ATK and the damage that their Normal, Charged and Plunging attack deals.
Favonius Sword
Favonius Sword is an excellent option if you're facing any issues in performing rotations. This 4-star weapon provides Energy Recharge. Meanwhile, if you're able to deliver critical hits, it will generate more energy.
Xiphos' Moonlight
Freedom Sworn can be quite hard to obtain as Kazuha's reruns do not usually occur. And if you failed to acquire one for you, consider using the Xiphos' Moonlight.
What makes Xiphos' Moonlight good is increasing your elemental mastery also boosts your energy recharge. This way, you can simply focus on stacking Elemental Mastery before ER.
