Sayu Skill Guide & How To Use Sayu

Recommended Rotation for Sayu

	Recommended Rotation
1	Inflict an Element to an enemy using other characters.
2	Use Sayu's Elemental Skill to swirl the element for buff. Continue rolling to deal damage and break shields.
3	Switch to a different character and deal damage.
4	Use Elemental Burst when healing is needed.

Uses Of Sayu's Elemental Skill

Elemental Skill Is Great At Offense & Traveling

Elemental Skill is a rolling skill that last for a long time that makes Sayu semi-invisible because of its speed and mobility. This is great for breaking shield and debuffing enemies with Viridescent Venerer. It is also great for traveling when exploring the overworld.

Uses Of Sayu's Elemental Burst

Burst Heals & Deals Damage

Sayu's Elemental Burst is a great utility skill that heals the players and deals Anemo damage to enemies. However, the burst cost is at 80 making Energy Recharge weapon such as Favonius Greatsword useful for the skill's consistency.

Sayu Wish & Constellation Guide

Should You Get Or Wish For Sayu?

Pull If You Need A Support & Healer

Sayu can heal while inflicting damage to enemies within the range of her elemental burst. As an Anemo support, Viridescent Venerer is the best artifact set so she can decrease the enemies' elemental resistance. Although Sayu's constellation improves her supportive capabilities, it is not recommended to aim for Sayu when pulling unless Sayu's rate is boosted.

what is this website on hello, why build EM if ur carrying ER weapons... unless u have c6 Sayu, her burst only heals based on atk, and the skill only heals based on EM. the new claymore from windblume is great for her, u can use atk/atk/hb or em/atk/hb on her. just make sure to get ER in substats.
