![]() Normal Attack: Shuumatsuban Ninja Blade |
Sayu uses a Claymore, which means her attacks hit harder against enemies and are useful for destroying enemy shields. Claymore users like Sayu can also mine ores with ease!
![]() Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash |
Sayu's Elemental Skill, Yohooo Art: Fuuin Dash, allows her to roll at high speeds! Tapping her Elemental Skill curls her into a ball to shoot a short-distance forward to attack an enemy in range. Holding it lets you roll around longer while dealing continuous Anemo DMG!
Sayu's Elemental Skill can absorb Electro, Pyro, Cryo, and Hydro which can spread that Element to her enemies or surroundings. Pyro absorption allows her to spread fire on grass, and Cryo absorption allows her to roll on water!
Sayu's Speed with Other Characters | ||
---|---|---|
![]() Sayu |
![]() Ayaka |
![]() Razor |
When using her Elemental Skill's hold function, Sayu becomes one of the fastest characters in-game! Her roll is faster than Ayaka and Mona's Dash, so it's useful for exploring. Take note that you can't roll on water unless you absorb Cryo!
![]() Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry |
Sayu's Elemental Burst, Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry, can heal the entire party while also dealing Anemo DMG to nearby enemies! After using her Elemental Burst, Sayu will leave behind a Muji-Muji Daruma.
![]() Muji-Muji Daruma |
The Muji-Muji Daruma can either heal your party or deal Anemo DMG to nearby enemies, depending on your active characters' HP.
If your HP is above 70%, the Muji-Muji Daruma will deal Anemo DMG to nearby enemies. Otherwise, it will switch to a healing function. This limit is removed at 1 Constellation, letting Sayu heal and attack without any conditions.
![]() Yoohoo Art: Silencer's Secret |
Sayu's Passive Talent, Yoohoo Art: Silencer's Secret, allows her to sneak up on certain wildlife. This skill works on animals in the ''Other'' sub-category of the Living Beings Archive. It's perfect for Crystalfly-hunting!
![]() |
Since Sayu's Elemental Skill absorbs in nearby Elements, it might be difficult to battle Elemental Enemies like Slimes.
For example: if you use her skill on Pyro Slimes, you will absorb the Pyro Element. Since Pyro Slimes are immune to Pyro, it won't do much damage.
Talent Description |
---|
Perform up to 4 consecutive strikes.
Charge Attack Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attack against all nearby opponents. At the end of the sequence, perform a more powerful slash. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. |

Talent Description |

The special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts! Sayu curls up into a rolling Fuufu 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 Fuufuu Windwheel state, rolling forward a short distance before using Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick. Hold Attack: Hold Rolls about in Fuufuu Windwheel State that increases Sayu's resistance to interruption. During that, she can control the roll's direction and can use the skill again to end the state and use a stronger Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick. Hold triggers Elemental Absorption. The maximum skill duration is 10s. The longer she remains in that state, the longer the CD. Elemental Absorption: If Sayu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro while in her Whirlwind state, she will deal additional DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of this skill. Flavor Text: 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. |
Attribute | Effect (Lvl 1) |
---|---|
Fuufuu Windwheel DMG | 36.0% |
Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick Press DMG | 158.4% |
Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick Hold DMG | 217.6% |

Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick Elemental DMG | 76.2% |

CD | 6.0 to 11.0s |
Talent Description |

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 intervals, the Daruma will take an action: ・If all nearby characters' HP is above 70%, it will deal Anemo DMG to a nearby opponent. ・If nearby active characters' HP is 70% or less, it will heal the active character with the lowest HP. If no opponents are nearby, it will heal all active characters nearby. Flavor Text: 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. |

Talent Description |

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

Ah, little Sayu. She hasn't been causing you any trouble lately, has she? Hehe, if you ever notice her slacking off, please let me know. |
![]() |
She looks awfully idle the majority of the time, and yet when it counts, she always rises to the occasion and provides indispensable assistance. Of course, you'd know far more about that than me, wouldn't you? |
![]() |
Hmm, according to our intel, she is a ninja proficient in the art of infiltration — a skill set which could prove very useful in some of Her Excellency's special operations... However, our intel also indicates that she could be difficult to recruit as she is rather unruly, and often disappears without a trace. Hmm? She's with the Yashiro Commission? Oh, well forget it then. |
![]() |
All I did was give her a little pat on the head this one time when she wasn't looking, and now, she pounces to attack every time she lays eyes on me. Haha, what can I say? Tanuki are adorable! What am I supposed to do — not pat one on the head? ...Oh yeah, and that's the other thing — she beats you up for calling her a tanuki, too! What's up with that? I mean, a tanuki's what she's going for, right? Sheesh, talk about getting your fur all ruffled over nothing... |
![]() |
Ah Sayu, stubborn Sayu. I've asked her countless times to teach me ninjutsu, but she always refuses. She even goes out of her way to avoid me now... I'm just a student looking for a teacher, am I really that out of line? |
![]() |
Ah yes, the little ninja child... If there's one thing she can do, it's stay hidden. Kano Nana constantly complains to me about it. Apparently, she now spends so much of her time searching for Sayu that she barely has any time to read anymore. If you as me, I'd say that Sayu has a secret ally who is helping her hide all the time... |
![]() |
Let me know if you see her, alright? I'd really love to take her to one of the festivals and introduce her to lots of new friends. She always looks a little down, but if she meets some people she can hang out with, maybe she'll slowly pick herself up again! |
Character | In-Game Thoughts |

About Ayaka As the eldest daughter of the Kamisato Clan, she always looks very graceful and elegant. But she got one of the shrine maidens to keep tabs on me and make sure I don't slack off... Why would she do that? |
![]() |
About Ayato Sometimes, when I'm taking a rest up in a tree, I overhear the shrine maidens talking about him. Sounds like he's pretty important and super busy most the time. I don't get it, though - it's only work, or whatever, so why doesn't he just... not do it? |
![]() |
About Itto Why does he have to make such a racket? And how did he get so tall!? |
![]() |
About Raiden Shogun Her Excellency? Definitely not someone I'd ever get to meet. If you've got questions, maybe Miss Ayaka's the person to ask. |
![]() |
About Shinobu Doesn't ring a bell, umm... What? Arataki Itto's little sidekick? Ugh, well she's definitely gotta be a sleep disturbance then. Birds of a feather flock together... |
![]() |
About Thoma He's got a Vision, and yet for some reason he pesters me about learning ninjutsu every time I run into him. I don't know what his deal is. It's not like I'd have the time to teach him anyway, I barely get enough sleep as it is. |
![]() |
About Yae Miko She's always patting me on the head... I've never bitten her, though, or even said anything, because I'm frightened of how she'd react if I stood up to her. But what am I gonna do? Because if she keeps on patting my head, I'm gonna get stuck at this height forever! |
![]() |
About Yoimiya Every time she sees me she says, "Hey, little tanuki! Let's go hang out at the festival." Firstly, I'm not a tanuki. Secondly, I don't wanna go to a festival. Thirdly, she says she wants to hang out — but really, she just wants me to do a ninjutsu performance during the fireworks show. That's not even related to my work for the Shuumatsuban! |
