How to Ascend Kaedehara Kazuha from Genshin Impact

Kazuha is the first Inazuman Character to become available in the game; he appeared so soon that he required ascension materials from Inazuma when the region was still not in the game; he wields a Sword and has an Anemo Vision.

Requirements for ascension

• Gorou if you have him for an easier time finding materials.
• Access to the Taishan Mansion domain for Talent Level-up materials (Tue/Fri/Sun)
• Adventure Rank 40 or have finished Zhongli's second Story Quest Historia Antiqua Chapter: Act II - No Mere Stone for the Talent Level-up materials after Level 6 (weekly)
• 168 Sea Ganodermas
• 46 Marionette Cores
• 18 Treasure Hoarder Insignias, 30 Silver Raven Insignias, 36 Golden Raven Insignias (for ascension)
• 6 Treasure Hoarder Insignias, 22 Silver Raven Insignias, 31 Golden Raven Insignias (per talent)
• 18 Gilded Scales

Where to get ascension Materials

Sea Ganodermas are plants that grow in the shallow waters of Inazuma, according to the interactive map, there are 159 of them on the map, so you might want to visit another player to get the few ones you are missing, or to avoid going for the ones in areas blocked by World Quest progression.

He also needs Marionette Cores, which you can get after defeating the Maguu Kenki on Yashiori Island.

How to get to the Taishan Mansion domain

The Taishan Mansion domain cannot be accessed immediately. If you haven't done so yet, you need to lower the water level. Kazuha's Talent Materials refer to Diligence; these become available on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

How to Level up Talents over Lv.6

To level up Kazuha's Talents to Level 7 and above, he needs Gilded Scales; these are possible rewards you get after defeating Azhdaha in the Beneath the Dragon-Queller domain. This domain becomes available after completing Zhongli's second Story Quest Historia Antiqua Chapter: Act II - No Mere Stone, which becomes available after completing Act I, and the Archon Quest Chapter I: Act IV - We Will Be Reunited; if you are Adventure Rank 40 or above and you haven't completed any of these quests, you can still challenge him through your Adventurer Handbook.
