What element is Sayu?

Sayu is a 4-star Anemo character from Inazuma who uses a claymore, released in version 2.0.

What stat does Sayu scale on?

Sayu's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Sayu?

Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star claymore with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" is the best 4-star alternative.

How much does it cost to level Sayu's talents?

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Light among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Sayu C1 do?

Multi-Task no Jutsu: The Muji-Muji Daruma created by Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry will ignore HP limits and can simultaneously attack nearby opponents and heal characters.

Sayu build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Sayu's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. The Unforged, "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" and Wolf's Gravestone come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Sayu, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Desert Pavilion Chronicle on Sayu, with Viridescent Venerer and Song of Days Past behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, Healing Bonus circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Skill

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.

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.

Burst

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.
