Not only does Skill Duration increase his active ability buff uptime, it also works with the Gleam and Glimmer Demon Wedge to convert a percentage of that into even more ATK.

Kezhou Best Weapons
Best Kezhou Melee Weapons
| # | Melee Weapon | Skill (Max) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Momiji Itteki
|
CRIT Damage +125%. When dealing damage with this weapon, increases Damage Dealt by 18%, with an additional 18% increase per Combo Level. |
| 2 |
 Vernal Jade Halberd
|
ATK speed +50.0%. Deals 90.0% damage to targets afflicted with bonus effects. |
| 3 |
 Aureate Yore
|
CRIT Damage +125.0%. Sliding Attacks with this weapon gain +150.0% CRIT Chance. |
Kezhou synergizes extremely well with CRIT damage, so Momiji Itteki is his best weapon. The Aureate Yore also works, but do know that the katana works a little bit better.
The Vernal Jade Halberd, on the other hand, is a fine choice that significantly increases ATK speed and damage against enemies afflicted with bonus effects. This makes Kezhou hit hard while attacking extremely fast, especially when using his active skill while his ultimate ability is active.
Best Kezhou Ranged Weapons
| # | Ranged Weapon | Skill (Max) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Ephemeral Lumina
|
Skill Duration 30%. Projectiles that hit the environment or travel a certain distance return to the user's position and increase the Ammo count by 1. When a Lumino character triggers Bonus Effect, grants 1 stack that increases ATK by 35% for 24s, up to 9 stacks. Using an Ultimate Skill refreshes the duration of all stacks to 24s. |
| 2 |
 Sacrosanct Chorus
|
CRIT Chance +100.0%. Dealing CRIT Damage with this weapon grants +12.5% Multishot for 12.0s (up to 10.0 stacks). Effect is removed when switching weapons. |
Kezhou works best with his signature weapon, the Ephemeral Lumina. This weapon increases Skill Duration, while also buffing ATK when triggering bonus effect. This weapon charges Kezhou's Sword Intent passive very quickly.
Sacrosanct Chrous, on the other hand, increases Crit Chance, while also boosting Multishot when landing crits. The multishot allows for fast generation of Sword Intent when outside Kezhou's ultimate state.

Kezhou leads this team in terms of damage. Here, he is supported by two of the best companions in the game. Kezhou's already strong damage output is further enhanced by Fina's weapon damage-oriented buffs. As for Fushu, she solves Kezhou's biggest issue, which is his problem with Sanity management due to constantly activating his skills.
Kezhou Skill Priority
Recommended Skills
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Drift of Youth | ★★★★★ | Significantly boosts ATK Speed for his melee or ranged weapon, depending on whether or not his ultimate is active. |
| Lightswords Slice Starry Streams | ★★★★★ | Grants access to the Aspect Manifestation state, which replaces Kezhou's melee weapon with an arsenal of spectral weapons. |
| Life's A Fleeting, Shifting Tide | ★★★★☆ | Grants Sword Intent or String Intent, which increases melee or ranged weapon damage, respectively, depending on whether or not his ultimate is active. This passive also reduces Sanity costs for Kezhou's ultimate ability. |
Kezhou DMG Skills
| Skill Effects |
|---|
|
Drift of Youth
Deals Lumino Damage to enemies within range 3 times and increases Kezhou's Ranged Weapon Attack Speed. While in [Aspect Manifestation] state, increases Kezhou's Melee Weapon Attack Speed, during which Kezhou is immune to Hitstun when taking damage. |
Kezhou Buff Skills
| Skill Effects |
|---|
|
Lightswords Slice Starry Streams
While in [Aspect Manifestation] state, Kezhou's Melee Weapon becomes [Phanosword]. When triggering Bonus Effect using [Phanosword], generates 1 [Phanoplume]. While in [Aspect Manifestation] state, this skill is replaced with [Feathers Chase Dust In Dreams]. |
|
Phanosword: Inherits all stats from Kezhou's melee weapon and gains increased Attack Range. [Phanosword] has Normal Attack modes for Sword, Greatsword, Polearm, and Dual Blades. After executing the final hit of [Phanosword], it switches to a random attack mode and launches all [Phanoplumes]. |
|
Phanoplume: Kezhou can have a maximum of 7 [Phanoplumes] at the same time. When launched, each [Phanoplume] selects a random enemy to orbit and homes towards them to attack, dealing Lumino Damage to enemies along the path. After attacking the enemy 3 times, the [Phanoplume] dissipates. Targets hit by [Phanoplume] take additional damage, which is equivalent to a certain percentage of the DoT of Bonus Effect: Lumino multiplied by Kezhou's Melee Weapon Trigger Probability. |
|
Feathers Chase Dust In Dreams: Ends [Aspect Manifestation] state and deals Lumino Damage to enemies in front. |
Kezhou Passive Skills
| Skill Effects |
|---|
|
Life's A Fleeting, Shifting Tide
Begins with 50 points each of [Sword Intent] and [String Intent] (maximum 100). [Sword Intent] increases Melee Weapon Damage Dealt and Melee Weapon Trigger Probability, and reduces the Sanity Cost of [Lightswords Slice Starry Streams]. At maximum [Sword Intent], Sanity Cost is further reduced by 30. [String Intent] increases Ranged Weapon Damage Dealt and Ranged Weapon Trigger Probability, and reduces the Sanity Cost of [Feathers Chase Dust In Dreams]. At maximum [String Intent], Sanity Cost is further reduced by 30. While in [Aspect Manifestation] state, each time damage is dealt with a melee weapon, 1 point of [Sword Intent] converts into [String Intent]. While out of [Aspect Manifestation] state, each time damage is dealt with a ranged weapon, 1 point of [String Intent] converts into [Sword Intent]. |
|
Yet the Drifter Marks the Change
Upon entering [Aspect Manifestation] state, records the current [Sword Intent] points. For a period of time, if the [Sword Intent] point drops below this value, the [Sword Intent] effect applied to [Life's A Fleeting, Shifting Tide] will adopt the recorded value instead. This effect is invalid after exiting [Aspect Manifestation] state. Upon ending [Aspect Manifestation] state, records the current [String Intent] points. For a period of time, if the [String Intent] point drops below this value, the [String Intent] effect applied to [Life's A Fleeting, Shifting Tide] will adopt the recorded value instead. This effect is invalid while in [Aspect Manifestation] state. |

When the Sky Ran Gold
[Available only when deployed as a Combat Partner] Increases ATK for self and Lumino allies. |
Kezhou Intron Levels

| I1 | ★★★☆☆ - Good Grants solid buffs, but is rather lackluster compared to other Intron levels. Overshadowed by Kezhou's other Intron levels. |
| I2 | ★★★★★ - Amazing! Significantly increases damage output and restores Sanity, which is huge for his overall kit. This helps Kezhou manage his Sanity issues way better. |
| I4 | ★★★★☆ - Great A welcome defensive buff meant to stop incoming attacks from interrupting Kezhou's combos. |

Intron 3 and 5 are just stat boosts. So, they are not included in the table above!
All Intron Level Effects
| Intron Effect | |
|---|---|
| I1 | Increases the effect percentage of [Sword Intent]/ [String Intent] applied to [Life's A Fleeting, Shifting Tide] by 0.7%.

How to Play Kezhou
- Use Active Ability To Increase ATK Speed
- Use Ultimate To Deal Big Melee Damage
- Take Advantage of Sword and String Intent
Use Active Ability To Increase ATK Speed
Kezhou's active ability deals damage to the surrounding area, but more importantly, increases his ATK Speed.
This ability increases ranged weapon attack speed outside his ultimate, and melee weapon attack speed while in his ultimate state.
Use Ultimate To Deal Big Melee Damage
Using Kezhou's ultimate ability switches his melee weapon with Phenosword, inheriting his original melee weapon's stats and further improves them.
Phanosword comes in different weapon types, each with different unique movesets. The weapon automatically switches to a random form at the end of every combo.
This also calls upon Phanoplumes, which are the surrounding swords that automatically attack enemies.
Take Advantage of Sword and String Intent
Kezhou deals more melee damage with his Sword Intent bar filled, and more ranged damage with his String Intent bar filled.
Kezhou generates Sword Intent stacks in his regular form, while his String Intent fills up in his ultimate state.
To maximize this ability, players should toggle Kezhou’s ultimate ability on and off, switching based on whether or not Sword Intent stacks are depleted or are at the maximum.
