The adorable ninja, Sayu can be obtainable on the Hu Tao Banner. Here is our Sayu Best Build guide where you can find the Best Weapons and artifacts for her.

Sayu is a playable Anemo character in Genshin Impact. She is a Shuumatsuban ninja who is having difficulty becoming tall. Sayu feels that napping can help her grow, which is why she prefers to hide and “laze around” using her ninja skills. She is a 4-star claymore user who packs quite a punch in her small frame. She is a dynamic squad member who is capable of both healing and doing damage. To get the most of her powerful heals, it’s better to focus on her support skills when building her.

Sayu Best Build Guide

Strengths

• Elemental Burst can both heal and do Anemo DMG. 
• Swirl reactions restore HP when Sayu is active. 
• Passive talent lets you sneak up on some wildlife.

Weaknesses

• Her small stature makes Sayu bad for exploration. 
• Elemental Skill might take time getting used to. 
• If not C1, the Elemental Burst’s effect is limited.

Sayu Abilities

Shuumatsuban Ninja Blade (Normal Attack)

• Normal Attack – Perform up to 4 consecutive strikes.
• Charged Attack – Drains Stamina over time to perfom continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents. At the end of the sequence, perform a more powerful slash.
• Plunging Attack – Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash (Elemental Skill)

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.

• 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 and 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.

Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry (Elemental Burst)

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.
