A wandering samurai of the once-famed Kaedehara Clan with an ability to read the sounds of nature, Kazuha is a temporary crewmember of The Crux. Despite being burdened by the many happenings of his past, Kazuha still maintains an easygoing disposition.
Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. If this Plunging Attack is triggered by Chihayaburu, it will be converted to Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan.
Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG and will create a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents.
After using Chihayaburu, Kazuha's Plunging Attack DMG will be converted to Anemo DMG for if used within 10 seconds and before he reaches the ground.
Since Midare Ranzan is an infused Plunging Attack, it cannot chop trees for wood.
Unlike normal Plunging Attacks, Midare Ranzan does not have a minimum height requirement, meaning it can be performed even if Kazuha is extremely close to the ground.
While the Vacuum Field created by the Plunging Attack is present, it will continuously apply the Struggle state to enemies whose weight is no higher than 100, and whose level is no higher than 20 levels above Kazuha's.

Unleashes a secret technique as fierce as the rushing wind that pulls objects and opponents towards Kazuha's current position before launching opponents within the AoE, dealing Anemo DMG and lifting Kazuha into the air on a rushing gust of wind.

Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG. On landing, Kazuha creates a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents. Midare Ranzan's DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.
When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 3Elemental Particles if it was pressed and 4 if it was held.
When Chihayaburu is cast, it will also make a slight beeping/chiming sound.
While airborne (if Kazuha has not yet Plunging Attacked or landed on the ground), a special wind will encircle Kazuha, indicating the Midare Ranzan effect, in the color of the absorbed element, if any.
If Soumon Swordsmanship is unlocked, the wind will be the color of the absorbed element.
Passive Effects

This will be considered Plunging Attack DMG. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of Chihayaburu."

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. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.
The Autumn Whirlwind field deals DMG every 2 seconds for a total of 5 times.
