Kazuha’s burst, "Chihayaburu," is a powerful swirling attack that can deal significant damage and provide a useful buff to your team. But how does it interact with the Cryo Resonance? Let’s break it down!
The Cryo Resonance grants a 15% Cryo Damage Bonus to all your team members. This bonus applies to any Cryo damage dealt by your characters, including Kazuha’s burst. So, when Kazuha’s burst hits enemies, it benefits from this extra Cryo damage boost.
Here’s where things get interesting: Kazuha’s burst doesn’t deal Cryo damage directly. It deals Anemo damage, which is affected by the Anemo Damage Bonus. However, the Cryo Resonance doesn’t provide an Anemo Damage Bonus, so it doesn’t directly increase Kazuha’s burst damage.
However, Kazuha’s burst has a special ability called "Swirl." This allows Kazuha’s burst to absorb elements from the enemies it hits. If an enemy is affected by Cryo, Kazuha’s burst can absorb the Cryo element and deal Cryo damage with the swirl effect. And here’s where the Cryo Resonance comes in!
The 15% Cryo Damage Bonus from the Cryo Resonance applies to any Cryo damage dealt by your team, including the Cryo damage dealt by Kazuha’s burst through swirling Cryo. This means that while Kazuha’s burst doesn’t directly benefit from the Cryo Resonance, the Cryo damage it deals through swirling Cryo is amplified by the resonance.
Therefore, the Cryo Resonance can indirectly increase the damage output of Kazuha’s burst in certain situations. If there are Cryo-affected enemies on the field, Kazuha’s burst can absorb the Cryo element and deal Cryo damage, benefiting from the Cryo Damage Bonus provided by the Cryo Resonance.
However, if there are no Cryo-affected enemies, or if Kazuha’s burst doesn’t swirl Cryo, the Cryo Resonance will have no direct impact on the damage output of Kazuha’s burst.
In conclusion, the Cryo Resonance’s interaction with Kazuha’s burst is a bit nuanced. It doesn’t directly increase the damage of Kazuha’s burst, but it can indirectly boost the damage dealt through the swirl effect if Kazuha’s burst absorbs Cryo from enemies.
Therefore, if you’re running a team with a Cryo character like Ganyu or Rosaria, pairing them with Kazuha can lead to some synergistic benefits, as Kazuha’s burst can benefit from the Cryo Resonance when swirling Cryo. However, if your team lacks Cryo characters, the Cryo Resonance won’t have a significant impact on Kazuha’s burst damage.
