Overview
Kazuha combines grouping with EM-based elemental damage support through Swirl. Apply the intended aura before his setup: party membership alone does not guarantee the right elemental bonus.
Role
EM-based elemental support / grouping
Playstyle
Swirl the aura the attacker needs, plunge after the Skill, and use the Burst for continuing area application.
Why It Works
Poetics of Fuubutsu derives its elemental damage share from EM.
Watch For
A team containing an element does not guarantee it is the aura Swirled during setup.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Apply the desired aura → Skill and plunge → Burst if planned → damage dealer → return for the next Skill and resistance refresh.
Key Notes
The special plunge and Burst can absorb one compatible element each, changing their additional application.
Swirl and absorption are separate checks; identify both in a reaction setup.
Use the Skill plunge to gather enemies before the carry window.
ER comes before additional EM when Burst is required.

Elemental Burst
Kazuha Slash
The signature technique of Kazuha's self-styled bladework — a single slash that strikes with the force of the first winds of autumn, dealing AoE Anemo DMG.
The blade's passage will leave behind a field named "Autumn Whirlwind" that periodically deals AoE Anemo DMG to opponents within its range.
Elemental Absorption
If Autumn Whirlwind comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional elemental DMG of that type.

Passive talent
Soumon Swordsmanship

This will be considered Plunging Attack DMG.
