Sayu Skill Guide & How To Use Sayu

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.
Should You Pull for Sayu's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Constellations are Good But Not Necessary
| Constellation Priority |
|---|
| C1 > C6 > C3 > C2 or C4-C5 |
C1 is a Good Stopping Point
Sayu's kit is relatively complete at C0 and does not need further constellations to do what she was designed to do as an Anemo Healer. Her constellations adds nice extras to her abilities, but not to the point that it would drastically upgrade Sayu's performance in her niche.
For healing purposes, C1 can be a small but welcome increase to her healing output and is a good stopping point. Anything beyond C1 is okay to have, but come with some form of caveat. C4 provide some energy, but will only apply if she's on-field. C6 lets her Burst healing and damage scale off of Elemental Mastery instead, which can let her contribute some Swirl damage if it happens, but it typically isn't enough to warrant pulling for Sayu's C6 directly. Unless you plan to use her as an on-field Swirl trigger, and if you plan to use her as a team's sustain option, C1 will be enough to yield decent results.

| ★★・・・ | C4: Skiving: New And Improved Sayu recovers 1.2 Energy when she triggers a Swirl reaction. This effect occurs once every 2s. |

A maximum DMG increase of 400% ATK can be gained via this method - Increase the HP restored by the Muji-Muji Daruma by 3. A maximum of 6,000 additional HP can be restored in this manner |

| Effect |
|---|
| The special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts! Sayu curls up into a rolling Fuufuu Windwheel and smashes into opponents at high speed, dealing Anemo DMG. When the duration ends, she unleashes a Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. |

During this time, Sayu can control the direction of her roll, and can use the skill again to end her Windwheel state early and unleash a stronger version of the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick. The Hold version of this skill can trigger Elemental Absorption. This skill has a maximum duration of 10s and enters CD once its effects end.
