6:30 Personally, I’ve never felt my options were limited by the mere presence of a strongest option in a game where anything can easily clear. But EM being the strongest build on a character who can only be the trigger in reactions, has an artifact set that boosts reactions and shreds resistances, and has a passive talent that buffs the team based on EM is just common sense. If EM wasn’t the best option on Kazuha or Sucrose, it’d actually just mean that EM was underperforming. If it was at the point where every main dps wanted to run 3 EM pieces, I could see wanting some balance, but Kazuha was made to be built for EM, to the extent that even his signature weapon has it as a substat. I think his main dps potential being locked behind c6 is way more of an issue than EM being strong.
This video is what i've been searching for, thank you so much for putting effort into this. And i really liked that you mentioned swirl's limitations and that your crit build could be better.

I love the way his kit works and he is amazing for traversing the open world fast with another Anemo in the party 👍🏻 Edit 2 weeks later - i am enjoying him as a dps now with the jade cutter, em on sands, anemo cup and crit damage on circlet 😆
In any case you just need 2 of the three main artifacts in EM, the other one can be an off piece, and since getting feather and flower is super easy you can achieve it in about a week or two of resin into vv domain.

I noticed that when playing. The damage you lose in anemo, you get it when you do swirl because it makes a lot more of damage, plus, you buff your team better
If I could add! This also applies to kazuha carry overload teams due to him being able to buff beidou while proccing overloads using his EM It's a pretty hard to master style of play, but it's honestly scary how fast my abyss clears are with this team Running overload also enables you to bring bennett, or not and use xinyan's shield proc instead
I got really lucky and got the 5 star sword "freedom sworn" for Kaz and it makes him super OP. I seen videos where people didnt use the correct team while showcasing it so people were trashing it but basically without it allies get the 15% atk bonus you speak of and with it allies do an extra 20% which would equal 35% more damage! My Diluc with zero food buffs or anything does about almost 100k ON JUST THE FIRST PROC OF HIS ULT! My team is Diluc (Crimson Witch), Kazuha (VV and 900EM), Xingqiu(Hydro Dmg and ULT Dmg), Zhongli(Full Noblese). My rotation is: 1. Activate Zhongli shield for decrease resistance 2. Use Zhongli ULT to give team Noblese Dmg bonus 3. Hit enemy 1x with Diluc elemental skill to apply fire( I only do it once so I can hurry up and get to the big damage before the Noblese Dmg boost runs out) 4. Use Kazuha ULT which resonates with fire giving my Diluc around 30% more fire damage bonus!! And Kazuhas VV combines with Zhongli's shield to shred enemies fire resistance by about 60%!!! And if your a whale or if you get super lucky like me, the Freedom sworn increases Dmg by 20% very similar to Noblese effect! 5. Use Xingqiu ULT and skill to apply vaporize (If I remember correctly the Zhongli Noblese Dmg boost runs out around here, I dont remember if it makes it to the next part off the top of my head) 6. Switch to Diluc and *DISCOMBOBULATE* . Doing Dilucs ULT with all those buffs and Vaporize effect is super broken. Especially after the Dilucs ULT aswell where the buffs are still active and I constantly spam Dilucs skill and normal attack to proc Xinqui's water back n forth. I easily complete Abyss with all 3 stars for the first time because of this team. Idk if this is the best "Fire" team that can be created but I wanted to ask if an electro main dps would be higher dmg total than having Diluc as my main dps? Also I'm missing a EM goblet for Kaz so whenever I get it my EM should be around 1020EM, I'm using a Atk% one for now so my Kaz sitting at 900EM and 1800Atk which is actually really good since it's best of both worlds.
thank you for the video!! I wanted to try full EM build on my kazuha but getting atk%/anemo/crit dmg artifacts with good substats was way easier than full EM vv with at least decent ones... plus i could finally give someone jade cutter after failing to get jade spear for xiao, so it might take a while before I try full EM
Nice video, glad you made this so I don't have to! Much props, I personally now how much time frame counting transformative reaction damage and comparing them manually takes. One very nice thing to note is that if you were to add Bennett to this team, either with double electro ( Keqing + Beidou ) or electro / hydro ( Keqing + Xingqiu ), Kazuha would then gain access to Overload. Since Bennett consistently applies Pyro to your active character, and Pyro is the highest priority for his absorption, his Skill plunge and Burst will always absorb Pyro. In the case of electro/hydro, Kazuha is able to both Electro-charged AND Overload. Directly causing Overload with Kazuha with the EM build you showcased would result in an almost 21k Overload.
I know his EM build would likely do more but I love him as a dps and id rather have him longer on the field than any other character. Em build is great for support and team comp against many enemies but against one enemy and only kazuha its not very useful
I use.. EM dps Kazuha with the team Kazuha, Xingqiu, Fischl, Bennett/Kujou Sara/Beidou and I still use Kazuha on the field the most since the other 3 characters, i just need to land there E/A
@@jentheweeb Not so sure about that. My full EM build does way way less damage (the anemo damage and swirl damage combined) than my actual anemo DPS build. Let's say on crit, my full EM's tap e does 4000 anemo damage and 9000 swirl damage, that's 13K on total Meanwhile my anemo dps build does 16k anemo damage and 1.2k swirl damage
Thank you for the great swirl breakdown and how it works as Mono Element. People forget that swirl IS a reaction, but we can do more than one element swirled at once, making it op compared to the others. My Sucrose has 641 EM right now. She seems to be my best DPS 🤔
I just like seeing my Kazuha himself do high Anemo damage as opposed to watching small numbers but the swirls doing all the damage. Maybe if the game ever gets truly difficult where building optimally I'd go the EM route but as of now I prefer going full damage. I was thinking about an EM Sands at least though but I don't know if that would be good.
I run atk%, crit rate/dmg and a EM sands, and skyward blade, he's at 382 EM and still does good swirl dmg because swirl can crit.. so its not bad by any means.
Get him!! I was pulling mainly for the four stars on his banner and then i got him and he helps me out so much, he just increases the overall damage u deal to enemies, I absolutely adore him!
I GOT HIM BY ACCIDENT AND BOI HE HELPED ME FINALLY GET 36 STARS IN ABYSS LMAO my main dps is Xiao that's why I didn't want him but damn even so he is so strong with the swirls and buffs and debuffs
Back when abyss had the Pyro and anemo fatui agents I remember that venti Mona and fischl were able to delete all of them with a single venti q. I can't imagine what it would do now.
I test with my kazuha, most damage by kazuha is attack sand, em goblet, em circlet. The damage surpass crit build with 1 enemy only. My substats is good tho 40%ish crate 90%ish cdmg.
my favourite kazuha comp has been with Bennett and Klee, I hate Klee's playstyle personally so she was benched like a month after i got her back in 1.0 in favour of DPS i'd enjoy using, but with Kazuha, I started to use Klee again, it's so satisfying seeing her jumpty dumpties being pulled in by Kazuha's vortex, and him with bennett buffing Klee's damage to the maximum, her charged attacks dealt over 40k without any reactions after being amplified by kazu and bennett, it felt crazy damage to me. Only the 4th character i've trouble choosing, split between using Zhongli for Shield and RES shred, Jean for heals (i play with constant 250 ping so dodging can sometime be derpy), Chongyun for Melt and more ability spam with his C2, Venti for more CC
Another full EM advantage is that you don't have to hold the skill since you know a bigger anemo multiplier is not worth it. That's 3 skills vs 2 on a 18 second interval and 9 anemo particles against 8.
I see a lot of Kazuha mains always hold E and the spending NINE seconds tickling the enemies. I myself main Kazuha but I don't hold his E at all and find it useless because it doesn't increase swirl and absorbed element damage, which are his main sources of damage
This is the video my friend sent me awhile back that made me build Kazuha in full EM. Just coming back to say massive thank you. Seriously, he’s so fun to play and part of it is because he’s strong (due to this build). For someone who missed out on Venti and Xiao banners, I was dead set on getting Kazuha. I’m so glad I did. He never leaves my team now 😄
I've had Kazuha since the day his 1st banner arrived and I've been playing him with DPS gear this entire time. (simped so hard I felt it a crime to weaken his anemo abilities) 1 year later he now sits as the lone male harem in my beidou-koko-miko team and I'm slowly starting to see the value of his EM buffs, especially when the main dps' of this team are both catalyst users (kokomiko). You video just solidified my decision to go full EM so thank you so much for all your explanations for this! p.s., i had no idea swirl that crazily (and at 2 enemies! what more when theres 4, 5, 6?!) so I def learned a lot from your vid! Thanks again for the effort!
wait for 2 mainstat EM VV pieces, and decent flower/feather, then start farming another artifact domain for your other characters and wait for an off piece mainstat EM.. goblet is by far the hardest to find, at a 2.5% chance for a goblet to be mainstat EM, you're looking at a 1 in 400 chance for a 5* artifact to be one that's on set. (1 in 10 to get the right artifact type, then 1 in 40 to roll mainstat EM) good luck friend, check your 4* VV artifacts too for EM mainstat, it'll bridge the gap for a bit
Wow Thank you so much for this amazing video😍 You explain this really well comparing kazuha Full EM vs Crit build, Now I determined to pull his freedom sword!!! I will share this video on my FB group so people who loves kazuha can watch this too!!!
WOOOW dude ,,, You did a GREAT job ,,, you really helped me to make my decision ,,, Thank you so much I will share this video with my friends ^_^ keep going
He's finally coming around again and I'm gonna get him for sure. Also thanks for the breakdown, I've been really debating EM over a standard DPS build and I think I'll do EM provided I can actually get the artifacts lol
Very informative and well-made video, you deserve a sub from me. Tbh your video was the answer I've been asking myself ever since Kazuha release and that is, which build is more efficient? And these past weeks I've been looking all over reddit, youtube and all genshin communities for the validation that I need to which build is really good to run on him and your video delivered that. Thank you!
A (probably very small) factor you didn't mention is that comparing a rotation with hold E instead of press E favours DPS Kazuha, because it makes MV higher relative to swirl. Overall I'd think press vs hold E favours EM Kazuha, because the times you want to use hold E - multiple enemies for suction and range - are scenarios where EM swirl is going to be ridiculously good anyway.
This channel deserves more subs and views, straight to the point explanations with clips, and very refined. 11/10 for effort alone. And for those who are wondering, he's definitely not a native speaker, but his pronunciations aren't too far off.
Kazuha is literally the reason why i could pass floor 10 since he can suck enemies to one place... And my Keqing is busted now because i finally discovered the magic of 4pc viridiscent
My current world team to just have fun with is Klee, Jean, Kazuha and Xingqiu, its so fun to use the anemo powers to move Klee's bombs around. But it isnt built into an abyss capable level yet, but even with a really underpowered kazuha, when i added him to my abyss clear 2 weeks ago with the swirl blessings he was crazy strong and best in slot for that clear. Theres no doubt in my mind EM is the only way to go unless you're a whale with a main DPS C6 kazuha. The clarity and maths of this video is really well done and appreciated :)
Side note - I think Kazuha's E is criminally underrated in terms of total dmg per cast. People didn't see crazy single numbers so they sort of ignored it when comparing with Sucrose etc.
@@Applebomb8D he’s not really mediocre, I think what people are mainly saying is that you’re not really losing on so much by not pulling for him (you’d be losing on that ridiculous dmg bonus buff tho) like how you’re losing ridiculous ccs, dmg and energy battery from venti or maybe the immortality shields from zhongli. He’s definitely worth it imo
Great vid! I have both builds. Aquila for his more standard build (atk sands/ anemo cup/ crit head) because i love his autos so much. I use that for running around the overworld. That being said, i forgot to switch him for abyss today and still 36 star'd it. That also being said, abyss is pretty damn easy lol.
🌸😹I would have said that the initial question would have largely been dependent upon were one to utilize him as dps or burst support. Since you have found that it is inconsequential, em certainly😹🌸
c0 EM/EM/EM with EM weapon, c2-5 ATK/Anemo/Crit with jade cutter (or similar crit substat weapon), c6 hybrid build consisting of ATK/Anemo/Crit like c2-5, but with freedom sworn (EM weapon) instead and requiring very high investment artifact rolls (1800+ ATK, 500+ EM, with 65+/130+ crit rate/damage MINIMUM for artifact quality) This is assuming at least if 90 8/8/8 talents and that you're doing a well rounded mix of content (groups of mobs and 1-2 strong mobs content). If you're doing electrocharged comps only and doing 3+ target content only, even at c2-c5 I believe EM/EM/EM with an EM weapon is superior.
@@childesbutthole it is good but I in my opinion kazuha would benefit more from a full em build( if you are having transformative reactions and good rng luck).
Im still building my Kazuha and i’m just using the spare artifacts i have. Currently he’s lvl 80 with 2073 atk, 52 crt rate, 170 crt dmg, and 541 EM. Im using jade cutter and a crt dmg circlet since farming for EM circlet is difficult. I dont have a full EM set for now so I can only compare it against a full dps build. (Which I havent done yet) Hopefully it still performs well.
I have a possible explanation for that peculiar hydro swirl number: in the in game update notices it says "When a character triggers a Swirl reaction with multiple elements against multiple enemies at the same time, the character will take abnormal damage. This issue will be fixed in a later update,,," I actually don't know what exactly this is referring to (I had a moment of panic where I thought they were talking about double swirl,,,) but perhaps it is an instance of that? I would love some more clarification on what the exact issue is if you know.
Thas some crazy detail on the vid. I'm currently running a sub DPS/EM build? Noblesse 2pc and Viridescent 2pc, abt 49/162 crit rate and dmg, abt 425 EM and that seems to strike the perfect balance for my team. Kaz is just too fun to play to run purely as a quick switch support lol
Electro charged and overload on kazuha is very good. It usually deals around 20k dmg every ult tick with overload and around 10k with electro charged. He's definitely better than pure anemo by a lot since it swirls and does tons of damage then does an elemental reaction that does tons of dmg. The dmg is also multiplied by a shit-ton if enemies are grouped. Meaning, the swirl does 4x (from 2x) as much dmg if there are 2 enemies (initial swirl from each one and the aoe part of the swirl that damages both again, so a single enemy that received 4k dmg when alone, now receives 8k dmg)
I was extremly lucky with Kazuha and managed to pull him 2x in 60 pulls. His C1 is amazing. C2 is rly good as well but C1 lets you do elelemtal skill, burst and then immidetly elemental skill again which fills enormus amount of energy for his ulty. This way you do not need energy recharge and can focus to EM. Saved me lot of time farming gear :)
ty, very informative

3. Hit enemy 1x with Diluc elemental skill to apply fire( I only do it once so I can hurry up and get to the big damage before the Noblese Dmg boost runs out)
4. Use Kazuha ULT which resonates with fire giving my Diluc around 30% more fire damage bonus!! And Kazuhas VV combines with Zhongli's shield to shred enemies fire resistance by about 60%!!! And if your a whale or if you get super lucky like me, the Freedom sworn increases Dmg by 20% very similar to Noblese effect!
5. Use Xingqiu ULT and skill to apply vaporize (If I remember correctly the Zhongli Noblese Dmg boost runs out around here, I dont remember if it makes it to the next part off the top of my head)
6. Switch to Diluc and *DISCOMBOBULATE* . Doing Dilucs ULT with all those buffs and Vaporize effect is super broken. Especially after the Dilucs ULT aswell where the buffs are still active and I constantly spam Dilucs skill and normal attack to proc Xinqui's water back n forth. I easily complete Abyss with all 3 stars for the first time because of this team.
Idk if this is the best "Fire" team that can be created but I wanted to ask if an electro main dps would be higher dmg total than having Diluc as my main dps?
Also I'm missing a EM goblet for Kaz so whenever I get it my EM should be around 1020EM, I'm using a Atk% one for now so my Kaz sitting at 900EM and 1800Atk which is actually really good since it's best of both worlds.
thank you for the video!! I wanted to try full EM build on my kazuha but getting atk%/anemo/crit dmg artifacts with good substats was way easier than full EM vv with at least decent ones... plus i could finally give someone jade cutter after failing to get jade spear for xiao, so it might take a while before I try full EM
Nice video, glad you made this so I don't have to! Much props, I personally now how much time frame counting transformative reaction damage and comparing them manually takes.
One very nice thing to note is that if you were to add Bennett to this team, either with double electro ( Keqing + Beidou ) or electro / hydro ( Keqing + Xingqiu ), Kazuha would then gain access to Overload. Since Bennett consistently applies Pyro to your active character, and Pyro is the highest priority for his absorption, his Skill plunge and Burst will always absorb Pyro. In the case of electro/hydro, Kazuha is able to both Electro-charged AND Overload. Directly causing Overload with Kazuha with the EM build you showcased would result in an almost 21k Overload.
Finding every 12k tick within a pile of purple is certainly time-consuming :D thanks for the bennett tip! Might try that as well soon
I know his EM build would likely do more but I love him as a dps and id rather have him longer on the field than any other character. Em build is great for support and team comp against many enemies but against one enemy and only kazuha its not very useful
Same. Plus seeing large digits is kinda satisfying. In addition, the game isn't even that hard so keeping it optimal isn't much necessary
I use.. EM dps Kazuha with the team Kazuha, Xingqiu, Fischl, Bennett/Kujou Sara/Beidou and I still use Kazuha on the field the most since the other 3 characters, i just need to land there E/A
Just get 1000+ EM ez main dps achieved.
@@jentheweeb Not so sure about that. My full EM build does way way less damage (the anemo damage and swirl damage combined) than my actual anemo DPS build. Let's say on crit, my full EM's tap e does 4000 anemo damage and 9000 swirl damage, that's 13K on total
Meanwhile my anemo dps build does 16k anemo damage and 1.2k swirl damage
@@stapleface4147 that's mono swirl reactions :) now try EC.
Loving all the kazuha vids recently, really enjoyed your prev keqing content as well :)
Thank you for the great swirl breakdown and how it works as Mono Element.
People forget that swirl IS a reaction, but we can do more than one element swirled at once, making it op compared to the others.
My Sucrose has 641 EM right now. She seems to be my best DPS 🤔
I just like seeing my Kazuha himself do high Anemo damage as opposed to watching small numbers but the swirls doing all the damage. Maybe if the game ever gets truly difficult where building optimally I'd go the EM route but as of now I prefer going full damage. I was thinking about an EM Sands at least though but I don't know if that would be good.
I run atk%, crit rate/dmg and a EM sands, and skyward blade, he's at 382 EM and still does good swirl dmg because swirl can crit.. so its not bad by any means.
@@terminate_all Hate to break it to you bud, but swirl can’t crit, none of the non amplification reactions can
@@terminate_all Swirl can't crit but the crit that you saw might be the crit from his passive talent.
@@teakles6807 his E skill talent? That still is a "swirl" tho no? The one when he plunges?
@@terminate_all It's elemental absorption (from his passive talent) not a swirl
Very well put-together video, I learned a lot about Swirl that I didn't know before. Maybe I should think again about skipping Kazuha...
You still have a couple days 😗
Get him!! I was pulling mainly for the four stars on his banner and then i got him and he helps me out so much, he just increases the overall damage u deal to enemies, I absolutely adore him!
Get him! You won't regret it
@@infinitygamering I already have Venti and C6 Sucrose, it feels like a waste to get another anemo support.
I GOT HIM BY ACCIDENT AND BOI HE HELPED ME FINALLY GET 36 STARS IN ABYSS LMAO my main dps is Xiao that's why I didn't want him but damn even so he is so strong with the swirls and buffs and debuffs
7:25 is probably Xingqiu c2 hydro res decrease
good thinking, was spending a good one minute thinking about that too
Back when abyss had the Pyro and anemo fatui agents I remember that venti Mona and fischl were able to delete all of them with a single venti q. I can't imagine what it would do now.
I test with my kazuha, most damage by kazuha is attack sand, em goblet, em circlet. The damage surpass crit build with 1 enemy only. My substats is good tho 40%ish crate 90%ish cdmg.
Which weapon are you using with this build? Also Talents?
@@narendrauzamaki8672 iron sting with attack sand other pieceuse em or amenoma with full em
my favourite kazuha comp has been with Bennett and Klee, I hate Klee's playstyle personally so she was benched like a month after i got her back in 1.0 in favour of DPS i'd enjoy using, but with Kazuha, I started to use Klee again, it's so satisfying seeing her jumpty dumpties being pulled in by Kazuha's vortex, and him with bennett buffing Klee's damage to the maximum, her charged attacks dealt over 40k without any reactions after being amplified by kazu and bennett, it felt crazy damage to me. Only the 4th character i've trouble choosing, split between using Zhongli for Shield and RES shred, Jean for heals (i play with constant 250 ping so dodging can sometime be derpy), Chongyun for Melt and more ability spam with his C2, Venti for more CC
Zhongli is good because of her short range and squishy-ness.
You actually did it. Thanks for taking the the time for this in-depth video.
this is the explanation about kazuha em vs attack crit that i was looking for. this was very informative. thank you so much!!!!
Another full EM advantage is that you don't have to hold the skill since you know a bigger anemo multiplier is not worth it. That's 3 skills vs 2 on a 18 second interval and 9 anemo particles against 8.
I see a lot of Kazuha mains always hold E and the spending NINE seconds tickling the enemies.
I myself main Kazuha but I don't hold his E at all and find it useless because it doesn't increase swirl and absorbed element damage, which are his main sources of damage
@@xero5727 the reason why people hold his E is to increase the sucking radius
@@cheriemaearcala5517 I won't argue that that is useful for support. But I'm talking about dps main here, the tap E range is more than enough
@@xero5727 the thing is the hold will give you a little bigger radius and also the interrupt also increased but i find it useless but not that bad.
@@dielog2211 Definitely not useless if there are lots of small enemies around, you will want to group and swirl as many as possible.
the way you pronounced the characters earned my sub 😭😭
For your question, Xinqiu's c6 hydro debuff makes the swirl receive more hydro damage hahaha
This is the video my friend sent me awhile back that made me build Kazuha in full EM. Just coming back to say massive thank you. Seriously, he’s so fun to play and part of it is because he’s strong (due to this build). For someone who missed out on Venti and Xiao banners, I was dead set on getting Kazuha. I’m so glad I did. He never leaves my team now 😄
Just subbed, very quality content! I just got kazuha and I think I will give it a go to the full EM build
I've had Kazuha since the day his 1st banner arrived and I've been playing him with DPS gear this entire time. (simped so hard I felt it a crime to weaken his anemo abilities)
1 year later he now sits as the lone male harem in my beidou-koko-miko team and I'm slowly starting to see the value of his EM buffs, especially when the main dps' of this team are both catalyst users (kokomiko). You video just solidified my decision to go full EM so thank you so much for all your explanations for this!
p.s., i had no idea swirl that crazily (and at 2 enemies! what more when theres 4, 5, 6?!) so I def learned a lot from your vid! Thanks again for the effort!
Been trying to find EM VV goblet and headpiece over the past 3 weeks.......
same. I still haven't got a single one yet. Only crit rate/attack/hp.
wait for 2 mainstat EM VV pieces, and decent flower/feather, then start farming another artifact domain for your other characters and wait for an off piece mainstat EM.. goblet is by far the hardest to find, at a 2.5% chance for a goblet to be mainstat EM, you're looking at a 1 in 400 chance for a 5* artifact to be one that's on set. (1 in 10 to get the right artifact type, then 1 in 40 to roll mainstat EM) good luck friend, check your 4* VV artifacts too for EM mainstat, it'll bridge the gap for a bit
EM? whats that? lol seriously though, 3 weeks and no decent atk% sands for me. Finding EM is a myth I think I'm fine with my 4* EM sands haha sad
I spent 15+ of fragile for this, and now i got it
I have found 2 EM pieces and one of them is a of piece. I just left the last one with crit dmg and gave up. 🤣
this are so detail, just got him today, thanks for this, really helpful
Wow Thank you so much for this amazing video😍
You explain this really well comparing kazuha Full EM vs Crit build, Now I determined to pull his freedom sword!!!
I will share this video on my FB group so people who loves kazuha can watch this too!!!
Ive been farming EM artifact since kazuha released. I havent got a single one 🥲
I have got every of them as 5 star except goblet only as 4 star
Farming for Venti since rerun and the EM drops are sooo rare
901 EM go brrrr
@@Ninjamation345 1100 em go BRRRRRRRRRRR
I get DEF 75% of the time.
This is by far the best kazuha analysis i have ever seen.
WOOOW dude ,,, You did a GREAT job ,,, you really helped me to make my decision ,,, Thank you so much
I will share this video with my friends ^_^
keep going
He's finally coming around again and I'm gonna get him for sure. Also thanks for the breakdown, I've been really debating EM over a standard DPS build and I think I'll do EM provided I can actually get the artifacts lol
Very informative and well-made video, you deserve a sub from me. Tbh your video was the answer I've been asking myself ever since Kazuha release and that is, which build is more efficient? And these past weeks I've been looking all over reddit, youtube and all genshin communities for the validation that I need to which build is really good to run on him and your video delivered that. Thank you!
A (probably very small) factor you didn't mention is that comparing a rotation with hold E instead of press E favours DPS Kazuha, because it makes MV higher relative to swirl.
Overall I'd think press vs hold E favours EM Kazuha, because the times you want to use hold E - multiple enemies for suction and range - are scenarios where EM swirl is going to be ridiculously good anyway.
True that's something I didn't account for!
Hold E does change the ratio, but it’s not enough to favor EM kazuha in multi-target - KQM has math on this.
@@AndrewLeecoding Math where exactly?
This channel deserves more subs and views, straight to the point explanations with clips, and very refined. 11/10 for effort alone.
And for those who are wondering, he's definitely not a native speaker, but his pronunciations aren't too far off.
Love your analysis, very well structured. The only argument against your finding is that playing main dps kazu is just super fun.
and I agree 100%, originally I didn't pull Kazuha for his passive but to see big green numbers :s
Kazuha is literally the reason why i could pass floor 10 since he can suck enemies to one place... And my Keqing is busted now because i finally discovered the magic of 4pc viridiscent
My current world team to just have fun with is Klee, Jean, Kazuha and Xingqiu, its so fun to use the anemo powers to move Klee's bombs around. But it isnt built into an abyss capable level yet, but even with a really underpowered kazuha, when i added him to my abyss clear 2 weeks ago with the swirl blessings he was crazy strong and best in slot for that clear. Theres no doubt in my mind EM is the only way to go unless you're a whale with a main DPS C6 kazuha.
The clarity and maths of this video is really well done and appreciated :)
Such a useful video thank you.
This video cleared my insecurities about my decision on spending my promo-pity on Kazuha. Thanks bro, I'm totally going to raise him now!
Thanks for making this video, was super helpful and it reaffirms my decision to go full em on kazuha
This is my kazuha bible. I've watched this video at least 10 times now.
I use Kazuha as a dps but swapped out my original Anemo goblet for a EM one because I noticed a significant jump in overall damage
Side note - I think Kazuha's E is criminally underrated in terms of total dmg per cast. People didn't see crazy single numbers so they sort of ignored it when comparing with Sucrose etc.
Tq for the vid, now I didn't regret raising EM for my kazuha
now everyone skipping kazuha has to see this vid before they regret it
so sad that people called him mediocre on release.
@@Applebomb8D he’s not really mediocre, I think what people are mainly saying is that you’re not really losing on so much by not pulling for him (you’d be losing on that ridiculous dmg bonus buff tho) like how you’re losing ridiculous ccs, dmg and energy battery from venti or maybe the immortality shields from zhongli. He’s definitely worth it imo
@@sumguy6213 people were saying he was one of the worst 5 stars, but just being anemo in this meta makes him one of the best.
I like how he pronounces keqing
This vid finnaly convinced me to build him EM. Thank you :D
Really nice content, you just earned a sub :)
the thorough calculations made me subscribe
Great vid! I have both builds. Aquila for his more standard build (atk sands/ anemo cup/ crit head) because i love his autos so much. I use that for running around the overworld. That being said, i forgot to switch him for abyss today and still 36 star'd it. That also being said, abyss is pretty damn easy lol.
This is the video i've been searching for
Such a well tested video, thanks for the great work
This is well put
Looking forward on your future vids
Extremely helpful video ohh my god thank you so much, I really appreciate your hard work and thanks for this vid
🌸😹I would have said that the initial question would have largely been dependent upon were one to utilize him as dps or burst support. Since you have found that it is inconsequential, em certainly😹🌸
So thorough. And well presented. Earned a sub. Keep it up!
kazuha is such a breath of fresh air
c0 EM/EM/EM with EM weapon, c2-5 ATK/Anemo/Crit with jade cutter (or similar crit substat weapon), c6 hybrid build consisting of ATK/Anemo/Crit like c2-5, but with freedom sworn (EM weapon) instead and requiring very high investment artifact rolls (1800+ ATK, 500+ EM, with 65+/130+ crit rate/damage MINIMUM for artifact quality)
This is assuming at least if 90 8/8/8 talents and that you're doing a well rounded mix of content (groups of mobs and 1-2 strong mobs content). If you're doing electrocharged comps only and doing 3+ target content only, even at c2-c5 I believe EM/EM/EM with an EM weapon is superior.
It's the best vid by far now I know what I need thanks.
Wow, this was very informative big thank you for making this video
Thank you so much, it's so easy to understand and it helped a lot!

How about a hybrid Kazuha where he has 500+ EM and a decent 1:2 crt and cdmg ratio?
more likely it will be fine
my build is similar to that, so i wanna know is it good or not too
@@childesbutthole it is good but I in my opinion kazuha would benefit more from a full em build( if you are having transformative reactions and good rng luck).
Im still building my Kazuha and i’m just using the spare artifacts i have. Currently he’s lvl 80 with 2073 atk, 52 crt rate, 170 crt dmg, and 541 EM. Im using jade cutter and a crt dmg circlet since farming for EM circlet is difficult.
I dont have a full EM set for now so I can only compare it against a full dps build. (Which I havent done yet) Hopefully it still performs well.
@@alfonsoaure2672 Holy shit dude
I have similiar crit damage/crit rate but my EM only 400 (going up to 600 when i used burst because my kazuha is c2)
I always love to see these kind of videos. Very detailed and informative. Thank you for this. I am now subscribed to your channel :D
I have a possible explanation for that peculiar hydro swirl number: in the in game update notices it says
"When a character triggers a Swirl reaction with multiple elements against multiple enemies at the same time, the
character will take abnormal damage. This issue will be fixed in a later update,,,"
I actually don't know what exactly this is referring to (I had a moment of panic where I thought they were talking about double swirl,,,) but perhaps it is an instance of that?
I would love some more clarification on what the exact issue is if you know.
since kazuha is rumored to have a rerun. im planning on running him on sub dps build on world exploring and full em build on abys. thanks for this :DD
This is an amazing video, thanks bro!
Great video, thank you for the detailed analysis, at the moment i try to get good em stats for him till that i stay on my atk/crit build
Bro I think one tic of Higher Hydro swirl was because of Xingqiu C2, his rain swords reduce enemy Hydro res by 15%, Maybe it affected only one enemy
Alternative title kazuha vs kazuha
U r the only one who compares DMG how it is supposed to be calculated
Thas some crazy detail on the vid. I'm currently running a sub DPS/EM build? Noblesse 2pc and Viridescent 2pc, abt 49/162 crit rate and dmg, abt 425 EM and that seems to strike the perfect balance for my team. Kaz is just too fun to play to run purely as a quick switch support lol
Electro charged and overload on kazuha is very good. It usually deals around 20k dmg every ult tick with overload and around 10k with electro charged. He's definitely better than pure anemo by a lot since it swirls and does tons of damage then does an elemental reaction that does tons of dmg. The dmg is also multiplied by a shit-ton if enemies are grouped. Meaning, the swirl does 4x (from 2x) as much dmg if there are 2 enemies (initial swirl from each one and the aoe part of the swirl that damages both again, so a single enemy that received 4k dmg when alone, now receives 8k dmg)
I was extremly lucky with Kazuha and managed to pull him 2x in 60 pulls. His C1 is amazing. C2 is rly good as well but C1 lets you do elelemtal skill, burst and then immidetly elemental skill again which fills enormus amount of energy for his ulty. This way you do not need energy recharge and can focus to EM. Saved me lot of time farming gear :)
