What it costs to finish this character

1,350
resin, level 1 → 90 and all three talents to 10
2,072,500
mora
8
days at a minimum, if you spend nothing else

Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.

Talent domain: Diligence, open Tuesday, Friday, Sunday.

A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.

Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Chihayaburu

#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.

Within 10s of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan.

{LAYOUT_MOBILE#Tap}{LAYOUT_PC#Press}{LAYOUT_PS#Press}

Can be used in mid-air.

Hold

Charges up before unleashing greater Anemo DMG over a larger AoE than {LAYOUT_MOBILE#Tap}{LAYOUT_PC#Press}{LAYOUT_PS#Press} Mode.

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.

"Wind in branches grieves

Bygone ages, gods of old

Withered autumn leaves"

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.

Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.

"I see eternity go by in an instant, the autumns of many years from a single leaf. Thus I shall slice this maple in a flash, and ask a question of the ages."

Weapons and artifacts

UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Swords of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.

To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.

Teams

To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
