Kagura Verity is one of the best CRIT stat weapons in Genshin Impact that originates from Inazuma. At the max level, the Catalyst can provide 608 base ATK and 66.2% CRIT DMG as secondary stats.

Its unique passive, Kagura Dance of Sacred Sakura, will allow players to gain stacks when casting Elemental Skill. A maximum of three stacks can be gained, with each increasing the damage of Elemental Skill by 12% for 16 seconds. When characters wielding this Catalyst possess three stacks, they will also gain a 12% damage increase to all Elemental Damage.


5) Heizou

Kagura's Verity is a great pick for Shikanoin Heizou in Genshin Impact. The 4-star Anemo detective can be built for personal damage and RES shred with this 5-star CRIT DMG Catalyst.

Heizou's kit will have a hard time gaining stacks, but his whole kit revolves around his normal attacks, so players should avoid trying to gain stacks altogether. They should simply use Kagura's Verity on him for the 5-star high base stats and CRIT sub-stats.


4) Lisa

The 4-star Electro unit in Genshin Impact can deal copious amounts of personal damage when equipped with Kagura's Verity. This 5-star can be considered her premium best-in-slot Catalyst weapon.

If used with the correct setup, Lisa can easily possess three stacks to increase her Elemental Skill DMG and all Elemental DMG. Kagura's Verity plays an even bigger role in her preferred teams: Aggravate. Since the 4-piece Thundering Fury set is consistent and generally effective for Aggravate Lisa, there is a natural synergy between the set and Kagura's Verity, allowing for 100% uptime on the Catalyst's passive.


3) Nahida

Those who don't have Nahida's signature weapon in Genshin Impact can equip her with Kagura's Verity. This 5-star Catalyst is an excellent option for both on-field and off-field playstyle.

The on-field Nahida will have a much easier time gaining stacks from the weapon's passive, thanks to her short skill cooldown. Her off-field playstyle will reap less benefit from the weapon, but the overall damage increase from the extra base ATK and CRIT stats surely makes up for it.


2) Wanderer

Wanderer is a 5-star Anemo Catalyst DPS with unique flying mechanics in Genshin Impact. Kagura's Verity is one of the best weapons for him, but purely in terms of raw stats.

Wanderer's Elemental Skill allows him to fly in mid-air and increases the damage dealt by normal and charged attacks. This means that he can only possess one stack from the passive when he's flying using his Elemental Skill. Players shouldn't attempt to try and gain all three stacks on him, since it will lead to massive DPS loss.


1) Yae Miko

Unsurprisingly, Yae Miko will be the most suitable character to use Kagura's Verity, as it is her signature weapon. The 5-star Catalyst in Genshin Impact has been tailor-made to complement her kit and bring out its true potential. As the strongest option for her, it is compatible with both on-field and off-field playstyles.

Her Elemental Skill has three charges, where she can instantly deploy three Electro Totems to quickly possess three stacks from her signature weapon's passive. This allows Yae Miko to have 100% uptime on increased Elemental Damage and Skill Damage.
