Genshin Impact: Are Kazuha’s Constellations worth pulling? (Updated 5.0)

Kaedehara Kazuha made his Genshin Impact debut in 2021, becoming one of the most powerful 5-star Anemo characters on the roster. Now, with the release of Natlan in 2024, are Kazuha and his Constellations still worth it?

Kazuha is great with no constellations at C0

Kazuha is a strong unit without any Constellations. Kazuha’s Constellations improve his crowd control, Energy Recharge, and buffing capabilities, but the only one that significantly changes his gameplay is Constellation 6.

If you do decide to pull for Kazuha’s Constellations, I recommend stopping at Constellation 2. C2 lets Kazuha buff his teammates’ Elemental Mastery, making him an upgrade over Sucrose in teams that would otherwise prefer her.

Kazuha’s Constellations explained

Kazuha’s Constellation 1 shortens his Skill cooldown and allows him to cast his Skill again after he Bursts. This gives him an extra charge of his crowd control ability and allows him to generate more energy for himself. It also means he takes a few more seconds of field time, though.

Kazuha’s Constellation 2 buffs your team’s Elemental Mastery by 200 for the duration Kazuha’s Burst is active. This is a significant buff to reaction teams who rely on Elemental Mastery. This is also a good stopping point for most players.

Constellation 3 adds three levels to Kazuha’s Skill talent. This has minimal impact if Kazuha is primarily built with Elemental Mastery.

Constellation 4 allows Kazuha to regenerate some energy for himself when using his Skill. He’ll also passively regenerate energy while gliding, though this rarely comes into play during combat.

Constellation 5 adds three levels to Kazuha’s Burst talent. It’s better than Constellation 3, but you should only get this if you intend to go for Constellation 6.

Constellation 6 infuses Kazuha’s Normal Attacks with Anemo after using a Skill or Burst. He also gains a DMG bonus on his Normal Attacks based on his Elemental Mastery stat. This Constellation allows Kazuha to be played on-field.

Is Kazuha still good in Genshin Impact 5.0?

As we enter the new nation of Natlan, Kazuha remains a powerful unit in many teams. His ability to Swirl, buff, debuff, and gather enemies is still unmatched. If you don’t have C0 Kazuha already, he’s one of the few Genshin Impact characters I recommend with no caveats.

Kazuha’s Constellations are still optional. They haven’t decreased in value, but you might want to save your Primogems for upcoming Natlan characters.
