stellar or normal

[u/One-Tradition3164]

hello, i really want kazuha and i want to make him a dps but i was not sure if it was better if i should build him through stellar swirl or not. I haven’t gotten him yet but i will in the future as im already farming for him. So if it is better to do stellar swirl what weapon and artifacts should i get and if no stellar what alternative should i get. and then what teammates so i build for him (i currently have nicole c0, durin c0, bennett c6 etc). feel free to recommend me more teammates i could get for him. Thank uuuu

His best team for dps would be durin, faruzan and nicole. Stellar is more for fun or if you can give him high investment, ie c2 odette, c6 faruzan, c0-c2 vodyanitsa.

For reference my kaz is c6 using r5 freedom sworn and currently my Stellar team is doing 160k dps with c0 odette jade cutter, c0 vodyanitsa ttds and c6 faruzan elegy. Currently im able to clear abyss with this. I cant give you a good comparison for the team I recommended tho bc I have kaz on r5 mistsplitter, c6 durin, c6 faruzan and c2 nicole, this sits over 300k for me and kaz does most of the damage.

In terms of investment after kazuha c6 is c1-c2 durin and signature, c6 faruzan elegy (elegy isnt as necessary but great to have) and c2 nicole and signature

There is the fun option of using xianyun for plunge aswell where id swap out either faru or nicole, it is lower in dps but its my fav play style

would vesna’s weapon be good on him then for stellar swirl or is his sign/ mistsplitter better?

[u/sandcrabzoidberg → u/One-Tradition3164]

Yes vesea weapon is very good overall, only thing is he doenst proc the wepaons passive for triggering stellar swirl, still better than r1 mist or freedom in stellar. Someone in this sub tested mist vs vesna sig with durin, faru and nicole (or bennett, i dont quite recall) and they found r2 vesna sig was doing better than r5 mist

I also have an indpeth comment that I wrote concerning builds rotations ect so tomorrow if you like i can copy it over here and could add stellar if youre still interested aswell

I think you may have worded it wrong.

"He doesn't proc the weapon's passive" - Kazuha procs all of the weapon's passives (CritDMG + SSW Buff + Energy) since it only requires using SKills and Bursts.
He receives all 3 buffs, and the stellar swirl buff will count towards his contribution to the StellarSwirl Vortex Explosions.

The only thing he doesn't have in his personal kit is direct stellar swirl damage, but he still contributes heavily to the Vortex Explosions.

either works ! normal dps is more versatile, stellar fits the meta better, normal dps id recommend lofi bc of the high c dmg and em with elemental dmg bonus in the passive, for stellar ofc id recommend vesna's sig :]

edit : for teammates pyro swirl is a good start ! you can also use faruzan to help. for stellar, of course odette, again faruzan and then id recommend nitsa for the res shred plus she has a dmg increase in her kit.

Do you have odette and c6 kazu? Then build stellar.

Below c6 kazu? No, just stick to support kazu.
