Building Kazuha Without Crimson Witch? No Problem!
Kazuha, the dashing Anemo swordsman, shines as a powerful support and damage dealer. While the Crimson Witch of Flames set is considered the "gold standard" for Anemo DPS, you can still achieve amazing results without it!
Here’s a breakdown of some great artifact sets that complement Kazuha’s skills and strengths:
1. Viridescent Venerer: A classic for Anemo supports, Viridescent Venerer provides a strong boost to Swirl damage and decreases enemy Anemo resistance.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Anemo damage by 15%.
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Swirl damage by 60% and decreases the enemy’s Anemo resistance by 40% for 10 seconds.
This set is great for maximizing Kazuha’s ability to buff your team’s damage by applying Anemo and triggering Swirl reactions.
2. 2-Piece Viridescent Venerer + 2-Piece Gladiator’s Finale / 2-Piece Shimenawa’s Reminiscence: This is a great hybrid approach that combines the benefits of Viridescent Venerer with either increased attack (Gladiator’s Finale) or energy recharge (Shimenawa’s Reminiscence).
- 2-Piece Viridescent Venerer: Increases Anemo damage by 15%.
- 2-Piece Gladiator’s Finale: Increases attack by 18%.
- 2-Piece Shimenawa’s Reminiscence: Increases energy recharge by 18% and your attack by 15% when your elemental skill is active.
This is a good option if you want a balance between damage and team support or need a bit of extra energy recharge to keep Kazuha’s burst up more often.
3. 2-Piece Viridescent Venerer + 2-Piece Noblesse Oblige: This combination provides the Swirl damage bonus from Viridescent Venerer and a powerful boost to your team’s damage through the Noblesse Oblige set.
- 2-Piece Viridescent Venerer: Increases Anemo damage by 15%.
- 2-Piece Noblesse Oblige: Increases Elemental Burst damage by 20% and increases the party’s attack by 20% for 12 seconds after using an elemental burst.
This is a good choice for maximizing Kazuha’s role as a support character, providing a significant damage boost to your team’s strongest hitters.
4. 2-Piece Viridescent Venerer + 2-Piece Wanderer’s Troupe: Focuses on increasing Kazuha’s damage output with both the Wanderer’s Troupe set and the Viridescent Venerer set.
- 2-Piece Viridescent Venerer: Increases Anemo damage by 15%.
- 2-Piece Wanderer’s Troupe: Increases damage dealt by charged attacks by 35%.
While this set may be less team-focused compared to other options, it allows Kazuha to deal significant damage with her charged attacks, particularly when paired with the proper weapon.
Important Considerations:
- Sub-stats: Always prioritize Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and Energy Recharge as your main substats.
- Weapon: A good Anemo damage weapon like the Iron Sting, Freedom-Sworn, or Primordial Jade Cutter will significantly improve Kazuha’s damage output.
- Team Composition: Choose artifacts and weapons that complement your team’s strengths and weaknesses.
Remember, you can adjust these artifact set combinations to suit your preferences and team needs. With a little experimentation, you can create a powerful Anemo DPS Kazuha build, even without farming Crimson Witch!
