Back to All Characters

Kazuha ascension materials will be in hot demand in Teyvat once players pull him from a limited-time banner, because he's considered one of the best characters in the game. The first unlockable character from Inazuma, Kaedehara Kazuha is a samurai and fugitive who is on the run from the Vision Hunt Decree. The Genshin Impact character uses a sword in battle alongside his Anemo Vision. He's a five-star character that can only be pulled during limited-time banners, but those who do add him to their team will have a great warrior as an ally.

Kazuha is an expert at amplifying elemental damage, thanks to his Swirl-inducing talents. Those hoping to level Kazuha up to his maximum potential will need to ascend him and upgrade his talents, all with the help of the following items and Mora.

Kazuha Ascension Materials

Kazuha Idle Animation

Kazuha is an Anemo character, which is rather fitting with his belief in freedom, so he uses Vayuda Turquoise to ascend. Alongside this, he'll also need some enemy drops and Sea Ganoderma, a local plant in Inazuma. All the Kazuha ascension materials, including how many are needed in total, are outlined in this section.

Gemstones - Where to Find Vayuda Turquoise

Gemstones of any kind can be obtained by completing daily commissions, as event rewards, and purchasing them from the souvenir shops in Liyue Harbor and Mondstadt. However, some bosses and Trounce domain challenges drop specific gems.

There used to be far fewer who could, but now several bosses and Trounce domains can drop Vayuda Turquoise:

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Treasure Hoarder Insignias

Treasure Hoarders and their insignias - Genshin impact

Every character uses some type of common enemy drop in their ascension, and Kazuha is no different. He requires the Insignias dropped by Treasure Hoarders, which come in three levels:

  • Treasure Hoarder Insignias, dropped by any Treasure Hoarder enemy
  • Silver Raven Insignias, dropped by level 40+ Treasure Hoarder enemies
  • Golden Raven Insignias, dropped by level 60+ Treasure Hoarder enemies

Treasure Hoarders can be found almost anywhere, but they do appear in good numbers around ruins in Liyue. There are quite a few of them in the underground portion of the Chasm. They can also be found in half-decent numbers dotted around the Sumeru desert, especially on either side of the Valley of Dahri.

Boss Drop - How to Get Marionette Cores

The Maguu Kenki boss is a skilled swordmaster, and Kaedehara Kazuha is descended from master swordmakers. Therefore, it's a bit interesting that Kazuha needs to defeat this automaton for his ascension. He'll need Marionette Cores, which are dropped by the Maguu Kenki.

This strange puppet-like being is found on Yashiori Island in Inazuma.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Sea Ganoderma

These blue plants grow in shallow waters along Inazuman coastlines, especially near the north shores of Seirai Island and around Kannazuka.

There are two other ways to find Sea Ganoderma as well. They can be grown in the Serenitea Pot, and they can be purchased from Obata, who operates his shop in Ritou. He stocks five Sea Ganoderma every three days, and sells them for 1,000 Mora each.

Kazuha Talent Materials

Kaedehara Kazuha Sword Genshin Impact

Kazuha is an honorable samurai who lives by a strict ethical code, so it makes sense that he uses the Diligence series of talent books to upgrade his abilities. It is a bit confusing, considering he's an Inazuma character but he uses Liyue talent books. However, this is because Kazuha himself was released before the actual Inazuma region was accessible in the game.

In addition to those books, he uses some more insignias, one of Azhdaha's drops, Crowns of Insight, and of course some Mora.

Talent Books - Diligence

The Diligence series of talent books are obtained by clearing the Taishan Mansion domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. They can also be obtained as event rewards, by crafting, and from other sources from time to time, like the other talent book series.

Trounce Materials

The Gilded Scales that Kazuha uses for his talents are a drop from Azhdaha, whose Trounce challenge can be unlocked by finishing the second chapter of Zhongli's story quest. If the Gilded Scales prove elusive, other materials from Azhdaha (Bloodjade Branch and Dragon Lord's Crown) can be converted into a Gilded Scale with the help of some Dream Solvent and a crafting bench.
