Talent Priority:

  • The basic ones today or before too, are not used, do not waste resources on uploading them.

  • Ultimate is prioritized, then elemental, better if you have the c2 for elemental.

Constellation Recommendation:

  • We have the same case as Bennet, with her C1 she heals and snorts at the same time.

  • With his C2, the kick you give with his elemental improves a lot.

  • C6 is much more beneficial for healing, but in this case the way we build it changes.

Video Summary

Sayu Build Guide

This Sayu build guide explores how to optimize the pint-sized ninja as either a dedicated healer or a versatile Anemo carry. By leveraging her unique scaling with Elemental Mastery and Attack, players can utilize Sayu to provide consistent team sustain while shredding enemy resistances.

Best Weapons

  • Wolf's Gravestone: This premium claymore provides a massive boost to Attack, which directly increases Sayu's healing output. It is an excellent choice for a support build to ensure your team stays healthy while providing a significant buff to all party members.
  • Skyward Pride: This weapon offers a balance of Energy Recharge and high base Attack. It helps Sayu reach her energy requirements more easily, ensuring her Burst is available frequently to provide consistent healing and Anemo application during combat.
  • Sacrificial Greatsword: This is a top-tier utility option that allows Sayu to reset her Elemental Skill cooldown. It is perfect for generating extra energy particles for the team and increasing her mobility on the field while solving her high energy needs.
  • Rainslasher: This weapon is ideal for a Sayu build focused on Elemental Mastery and Swirl damage. It excels in teams where enemies are consistently affected by Hydro or Electro, significantly boosting the damage of her elemental reactions.

Best Artifacts

  • Viridescent Venerer: This is the essential artifact set for any Anemo support role. It provides a massive 40 percent resistance shred against the element swirled, making it the best choice for increasing the overall damage of your elemental sub-DPS characters.
  • Gladiator's Finale: Using a 2-piece set of this artifact is a great way to boost Sayu's total Attack. When paired with other sets, it helps scale her healing abilities more effectively for players who lack high Elemental Mastery pieces.
  • Maiden Beloved: This set is specifically used in 2-piece combinations to maximize healing effectiveness. It is a solid alternative for players who want to focus purely on Sayu's role as a dedicated healer to keep the party alive.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • For stat priorities, aim for at least 160 percent Energy Recharge to maintain Burst uptime. Focus on reaching 1000 or more Elemental Mastery for C6 builds, while maintaining at least 1500 Attack for reliable healing scaling.
  • In a Freeze team with Ayaka, Sayu provides necessary healing and resistance shred. This niche allows the main DPS to deal maximum Cryo damage while Sayu keeps the team safe and mobile throughout the rotation.
  • A versatile reaction team featuring Kaeya, Fischl, and Xiangling utilizes Sayu as a driver. This setup focuses on triggering multiple reactions like Melt and Overload while Sayu swirls elements to maintain high team-wide damage output.
  • An Electro-Charged team with Ayato, Fischl, and Yae Miko benefits from Sayu's constant Swirl triggers. She acts as the primary healer while reducing Electro and Hydro resistances to amplify the damage of the off-field sub-DPS units.
