Furthermore, when Elemental Reactions are triggered, the wearer will also acquire a Sigil of Rebellion. Once 2 stacks have been obtained, they will be consumed and all party members in close proximity will receive a 20% increase in ATK and a 16% increase in damage for Normal, Charged, and Plunging attacks.
This impact is still effective even if the character is not on the field but has the weapon equipped.

| 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. |
Elemental Skill: Chihayaburu

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

This will be considered Plunging Attack DMG.Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of Chihayaburu. |
| Poetics of Fubutsu | Upon triggering a Swirl reaction, Kaedehara Kazuha will grant all party members a 0.04% Elemental DMG Bonus to the element absorbed by Swirl for every point of Elemental Mastery he has for 8s. Bonuses for different elements obtained through this method can co-exist. |
