Shared Team Members
With Lohen
Kazuha's grouping is vital for Lohen to land his fast Cryo hits on as many enemies as possible. By swirling Cryo, Kazuha provides the RES shred and DMG bonus that Lohen needs to scale his damage into the late game.
With Sandrone
Kazuha is essential for Sandrone, as he provides the grouping and Cryo DMG buffs needed to maximize her automated attacks and field presence. His ability to shred RES with Viridescent Venerer is critical for her personal damage ceiling.
