Best Weapons for Sayu | |

Limited | |
Free-to-Play |
![]() 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.

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. |

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. |
