Sayu — Build, Teams & Rating Genshin 6.7

Is Sayu worth building?

Sayu is an easy-to-get 4-star Anemo support who covers two precious roles at once: healing the whole team and holding 4pc Viridescent Venerer to shred elemental RES, very worth raising for newer players short on healers. Her healing scales with ATK, so stack ATK% and build around 200% Energy Recharge to burst every rotation. The craftable 4-star Katsuragikiri Nagamasa is the best F2P weapon. At C6 you can swap fully to EM for strong swirls and healing at once. Prioritize the Viridescent set and enough recharge.

Sayu's talents

Shuumatsuban Ninja Blade

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.

Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash

#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.

{LAYOUT_MOBILE#Tap}{LAYOUT_PC#Press}{LAYOUT_PS#Press}
Enters the Fuufuu Windwheel state, rolling forward a short distance before using the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick.

Hold
Rolls about continuously in the Fuufuu Windwheel state, increasing Sayu's resistance to interruption while within that state.
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. The longer Sayu remains in her Windwheel state, the longer the CD.

Elemental Absorption
If Sayu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro while in her Windwheel state, she will deal additional elemental DMG of that type.
Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of this skill.

Sayu can pull this skill off with her eyes closed. This technique was originally created for escaping, but now that she's got a Vision, might as well make her foes eat dirt while she's at it.

Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry

The other super special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts! It summons a pair of helping hands for Sayu.
Deals Anemo DMG to nearby opponents and heals all nearby party members. The amount of HP restored is based on Sayu's ATK. This skill then summons a Muji-Muji Daruma.

Muji-Muji Daruma
At specific intervals, the Daruma will take one of several actions based on the situation around it:
·If the HP of nearby characters is above 70%, it will attack a nearby opponent, dealing Anemo DMG.
·If there are active characters with 70% or less HP nearby, it will heal the active character with the lowest percentage HP left. If there are no opponents nearby, it will heal active characters nearby even if they have 70% HP or more.

People who don't know the first thing about ninjutsu love to watch Sayu show off this skill, and some have tried to learn it from her. But Sayu just wants to sleep and not be disturbed.

Someone More Capable

When Sayu triggers a Swirl reaction while active, she heals all your characters and nearby allies for 300 HP. She will also heal an additional 1.2 HP for every point of Elemental Mastery she has.
This effect can be triggered once every 2s.

No Work Today!

The Muji-Muji Daruma created by Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry gains the following effects:
·When healing a character, it will also heal characters near that healed character for 20% the amount of HP.
·Increases the AoE of its attack against opponents.

Yoohoo Art: Silencer's Secret

When Sayu is in the party, your characters will not startle Crystalflies and certain other animals when getting near them.
Check the "Other" sub-category of the "Living Beings / Wildlife" section in the Archive for creatures this skill works on.

Combat Rotation

Before engaging, use Normal/Charged Attacks to build up Sayu's Energy.
Hold the Elemental Skill "Fuuin Dash" to enter the rolling Fuufuu Windwheel state, dealing wide Anemo DMG with increased interruption resistance (max hold 10s, CD 6-11s depending on hold time).
While holding the Skill, swap to your main DPS — Sayu keeps dealing off-field DMG in the background.
If enemies carry Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, let the Windwheel trigger a Swirl reaction to spread the element and heal the whole party based on Elemental Mastery (triggerable once every 2s).
Once 80 Energy is reached, unleash the Elemental Burst "Mujina Flurry" for AoE Anemo DMG, ATK-scaled party healing, and to summon the Muji-Muji Daruma.
Let the Daruma act on its own for its 12s duration: it attacks nearby foes if the party is above 70% HP, or heals the lowest-HP character if someone drops below 70%.
Swap back to your main DPS to burst down the target while the Daruma and Swirl effects support in the background.
Repeat: once the Skill's cooldown ends, hold it again to keep the Swirl and healing loop going.
