Best Teams for Sayu
Sayu Is Great As Swirl Support & Healer
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Swirl Support - Swirl support is the easiest build for Sayu. - VV for Elemental DMG Res or Gilded Dream if another character is holding Scroll set. - C6 Sayu can be built on EM instead of both ATK% and EM. |
| 2nd | ▼ Taser On-Field Driver - Ororon can apply Electro and charge Sayu's Burst with his Passive's ability. - Furina is the Hydro sub-DPS with good Hydro application. - EM Sayu can lack healing pre-C6 so Shinobu is used for additional healing and she can also trigger Ororon's Hypersense follow-up attack. |
| 3rd | ▼ Vapemelt Driver - Premium team using three (3) 5-star characters. - Pyro Traveler can be used instead of Mavuika. - Utilizes Citlali's unique RES shred debuff with 3 PECH sub-DPS dealing most of the damage. |
Sayu is an Anemo support who can heal with her Burst and when she triggers Swirl. However, her scaling pre-C6 is both ATK% and EM. She can be used as a heal support or on-field driver thanks to her unique hold Skill mobility.

Rotation Of Swirl Support
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Zhongli and hold his Skill for a shield |
| 2 | Switch to Arlecchino and use her Skill to mark enemies |
| 3 | Switch to Sayu and use her Burst then Skill |
| 4 | Switch to Yelan and use her Skill then Burst |
| 5 | Switch back to Arlecchino and use her Charged Attack to gain Pyro infusion |
| 6 | Use Normal/Charged Attacks to deal damage before ending her turn by using her Burst |
| 7 | Repeat from 1 once buffs expire |
Be careful to not use Sayu's hold Skill because it will make her enter Rolling mode. But it can be easily canceled by switching to another character.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Arlecchino | MavuikaNeuvilletteClorinde | - Reserve this slot for a DPS or on-field PECH character. - Sayu can be a support for any PECH character so choose without reservations. |
| Zhongli | XilonenKazuha | - Reserve this slot for a damage increasing support. - Both Xilonen and Kazuha can be used but Sayu will need to equip another artifact set. |
| Yelan | FurinaFischlNahida | - Reserve this slot for a sub-DPS. - Make sure to choose a sub-DPS that synergizes with your DPS well. |

With Furina and Ororon as the dedicated sub-DPS applying Hydro and Electro, Sayu can comfortably trigger Electro-Charged through Swirl. Shinobu is there for additional healing and more Electro application. Ororon and the Electro resonance can easily charge Sayu's Burst, reducing her ER requirements.

| 2 | Switch to Shinobu and use her Skill |
| 3 | Switch to Ororon and use his Skill then Burst |

| Kuki Shinobu | Dori | - Dori is an Electro healer that can be used. - Any Hydro or Electro sub-DPS or support can be used as long as they won't interrupt the Electro-Charged reaction. |
| Ororon | Raiden ShogunFischlYae Miko | - All three (3) are good Electro sub-DPS that can be used. - Raiden Shogun can charge Sayu's Burst similar to Ororon's passive ability. |
You can add another Anemo character for grouping to make it easier to trigger Electro-Charged. Sucrose and Kazuha are great options for this.
