Constellation and Effects

	Sara's Constellations
C1	Crow's Eye When Tengu Juurai grants characters ATK Bonuses or hits opponents, the CD of Tenu Stormcall is decreased by 1s. This effect can be triggered once every 3s.
C2	Dark Wings Unleashing Tengu Stormcall will leave a weaker Crowfeater at Kujou Sara's original position that will deal 30% of its original DMG.
C3	The War Within Increases the Level of Subjugation: Koukou Sendou by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Conclusive Proof The number of Tengu Juurai: Stormcluster released by Subjugation: Koukou Sendou is increased to 6.
C5	Spellsinger Increases the Level of Tengu Stormcall by 3. Maximum upgrade is 15.
C6	Sin of Pride The Electro DMG of characters who have had their ATK increased by Tengu Juurai has its Crit DMG increased by 60%.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C2	★★★	• Creates an Attack Buff (Tengu Juurai: Ambush) at the previous location after user Kujo Sara's Elemental Skill.
C4	★★★	• Allies hit by Tengu Juurai: Ambush will receive +60% Crit DMG to their Electro DMG attacks.

C2 for Easier ATK Buffs

The requirement of needing to do a full-charged shot after using Kujou Sara's Elemental Skill is a hassle to deal with. Reaching C2 makes providing ATK buffs easier and helps in keeping the ATK buff permanently on.

C6 for Electro DMG Buffs

Kujou Sara's 6th Constellation will make her shine as an Electro DMG Buffer whenever she buffs a party member. This will be extremely beneficial for Electro DPS characters such as Raiden or Keqing.

	How to Use

▲Back to All Builds and Roles▲

Use Elemental Skill to Buff Allies with Charged Attacks

Elemental Skill: Tengu Stormcall

Sara's Elemental Skill, Tengu Stormcall, allows her to retreat a short distance. Once she's far away, she can use her Charged Attack to shoot a Crowfeather, which triggers an AoE Electro DMG after a delay.

Any active character that stands within the Crowfeather's field of explosion grants an ATK Bonus based on Sara's Base ATK. This cannot be stacked.

Scales on Sara's Base ATK

Like Bennett's Elemental Burst, Sara's buff scales on her Base ATK, and will not be increased by artifacts. Instead, you can either level Sara up or give her a stronger weapon with high Base ATK to increase its effects!

Elemental Burst Deals AoE Electro DMG

Subjugation: Koukou Sendou

Sara's Elemental Burst, Subjugation: Koukou Sendou deals massive AoE Electro DMG by calling down a large Titanbreaker explosion followed by 4 bouts of spreading Stormclusters.

Both these attacks also give the same ATK Bonus for the active character. These do not stack.

Kujou Sara Talents (Skills)

Normal Attack: Tengu Bowmanship

Talent Description

Perform up to 5 consecutive shots with a bow. Charge Attack Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, crackling lightning will accumulate on the arrowhead. An arrow fully charged with the storm's might will deal Electro DMG. When in the Crowfeather Cover state, a fully-charged arrow will leave a Crowfeather behind after it hits. Plunge Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Tengu Stormcall

Talent Description

Retreats rapidly with the speed of a tengu, summoning the protection of the Crowfeather. Gains Crowfeather Cover for 18s, and when Kujou Sara fires a fully-charged Aimed Shot, Crowfeather Cover will be consumed, and will leave a Crowfeather at the target location. ・Crowfeathers will trigger Tengu Juurai: Ambush after a short time, dealing Electro DMG & granting the active character within its AoE an ATK Bonus based on Kujou Sara's Base ATK. ・ The ATK Bonuses from different Tengu Juurai will not stack, & their effects and duration will be determined by the last Tengu Juurai to take effect. Flavor Text: The tengu race have never lacked for exceptional talents who have received an Electro Vision. It's just that they often habitually chant praises to the Electro Archon while manipulating Electro. The chants go something like this "Show forth you might, O praiseworthy Narukami, and grant this supplicant your thunderous might! Sowaka!"

Subjugation: Koukou Sendou

Talent Description

Casts down Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker, dealing AOE Electro DMG. Afterwards, Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker spreads out into 4 consecutive bouts of Tengu Juurai: Stormcluster, dealing AoE Electro DMG. ・Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker and Tengu Juurai: Stormcluster can provide the active character within their AoE with the same ATK Bonus as given by the Elemental Skill, Tengu Stormcall. ・ The ATK Bonuses from various Tengu Juurai will not stack, and their effects and duration will be determined by the last Tengu Juurai to take effect. Flavor Text: Sara departed from her people, the tengu, and also temporarily lost her faith in the Tenryou Commission. But once the clouds over her heart cleared, she found her own lightning anew.

Land Survey

Talent Description
When dispatched on an expedition in Inazuma, time consumed is reduced by 25%.

Decorum

Talent Description
When Tengu Juurai: Ambush hits opponents, it will restore energy to all party members based on her current amount of Energy Recharge.

Kujou Sara's In-Game Information

Kujou Sara Voicelines

Thoughts About Kujou Sara

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Ayaka	Kujou Sara of the Tenryou Commission is... not known to smile, and I have had my fair share of disputes with her. She is, however, a loyal servant to Inazuma, there is no question about that.
Ayato	Old man Kujou capitalized on a golden opportunity to create a most formidable weapon indeed. The only flaw in his plan being, he is now no longer able to wield the weapon of his creation.
Gorou	I have nothing good to say about the Shogun's Army, but Kujou Sara is perhaps the most honorable officer among their ranks. We've met each other countless times in battle, emerging both victorious and defeated at different times. 'sigh' I know now that it's not realistic to think this way, but I did use to wonder what things would be like if those like her could value the wishes of the people and be free from the grip of the Shogunate.
Heizou	Madam Kujou Sara? Yeah, that lady's gotta be the most serious person in the entire Tenryou Commission. It would be nice if she could cut us a little slack and give everyone some breathing room - and she's always on my case about my occasional unexplained absences, but what can I say... I just go wherever the evidence leads me.
Itto	You know what, yeah, she beat me during the Vision Hunt Decree. I'm not ashamed to admit it. When you lose, you admit defeat, and when you screw up, you take it on the chin, like a man! And anyway, let's not forget which one of us won't agree to a rematch — her, the tengu warrior! It's just a sumo street fight, I mean, what's she so afraid of? If she keeps snubbing me, I'm gonna have to stop calling her Kujou Tengu and start calling her Kujou Chicken! Heh, we'll see what she thinks of that.
Kazuha	About Kujou Sara: She defeated my friend in a duel before the throne, which I accept as proof of her great strength. But she uses that strength to serve as an oppressor's lackey, leading the Kujou Clan's troops to relentlessly seek out and confiscate Visions. This... I cannot forgive. Changing Perspective: I see... So she does have her own ideals that she is fighting for. But I have to wonder: can the Kujou. family flourish as they did before once this storm has passed?
Kokomi	Mmm... I must admit, Kujou Sara is an opponent that cannot be taken lightly. She seldom employs cunning strategy, but her performance in open warfare is always admirable. The Shogun's Army places great trust in her abilities - they are united and ready to fight valiantly under her command, even to the death. Her forces have been a serious threat to the resistance on multiple occasions.
Shinobu	Madam Kujou? Yes, she's a friend of mine. Hmm? You're surprised that I know her? Oh, you must've misunderstood, I knew her from before I joined the Arataki Gang. Heh, in fact, it's hard to tell who's the winner whenever we spar.
Thoma	The Tenryou Commission General... Mm... Make sure to be extra careful if you have any dealings with her. She has a lot of power in her hands, and she's not very open to persuasion. Smiling and batting your eyelids certainly won't get you anywhere with her.
Yae Miko	Not the sharpest tengu in the forest — she certainly didn't inherit the brilliant mind of daddy tengu, that's for sure. *sigh How shall I put this? I suppose being blunt and dispensing with tact has its own advantages... But I do hope that the next time she visits the shrine, she keeps to herself. I've got better things to do than answer her incessant questions about Ei.
Yoimiya	Due to public safety and fire, hazard-related concerns, I often get whisked off to the Tenryou Commission's place for a lecture. Kujou Sara's probably the most reasonable of the bunch. At least she'll hear me out before passing any judgment. If I'm in the right, she'll acknowledge my. perspective, and if I'm wrong... Hehe, then I'll get Thoma to come and help me apologize to her!

Kujou Sara's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Ayaka	About Ayaka In the Kujou household, normally the only sound to be heard is that of soldiers training in the dojo. But in the Kamisato household, there is the sound of music, dance, bickering, and laughter... I have heard that Miss Kamisato is skilled in the game of Go, and have always hoped for an occasion to pay her a visit, but... I also worry that someone of a serious demeanor like myself may not quite fit in there.
Gorou	About Gorou Gorou is to Sangonomiya Kokomi as I am to the Raiden Shogun. He is fiercely loyal, and I have great respect for this. It's a shame we're on opposing sides, so we'll never get to work together... Still, I am glad to have an admirable foe. Also... I hear he's a fifth-born son. That just makes it even better.
Heizou	About Heizou Shikanoin and I may be colleagues, but I have few positive words to say about him. He seems preoccupied with his personal schemes while official duties take second place. The only reason I have not sought to bring him into line so far is that his investigations deliver results... 'sigh' He is such a headache.
Itto	About Itto Tsk... I can't help but get a little irate when his name comes up. He kicked up a big fuss when I confiscated his Vision, by far the noisiest person... no, the noisiest oni I've ever encountered. He showed me was enough of a man to admit defeat, but the rematch he insisted upon... Tsk... To this day, I still don't want to talk about it. If you really must know, you can go and ask him yourself.
Kokomi	About Kokomi She is more proficient as a military strategist than a priestess. The way she uses directives to wage war is almost unheard of. I wonder if I should adopt this technique for commanding the Shogun's Army? Hmm... but this could lead us to a situation whereby war is waged at the negotiation table, each side with their pack of strategy cards, playing them one by one until a victor emerges... Then again, perhaps not.
Raiden	About Raiden Trust: As I'm sure you've heard many times before, the Almighty Shogun seeks Eternity — an existence beyond the dominion of thought and longing. "Abandon mortal ties, strive for an unchanging Eternity"... The Almighty Shogun's manner is always resolute, and I do not always fully grasp the meaning of her words. But this is her decision, and I trust her. Service: So, the Vision Hunt Decree was repealed... Yes, it seems that you were right. ...Ahem, but this is not to say that the Almight Shogun made a mistake. She has simply chosen eternity by a different route. I do not know whether the Shogun has finally found inner peace after protecting Inazuma over these millennia. All I know is that however perilous the road ahead may become, I will follow her as I have always done.
Shinobu	About Shinobu With her talent and qualifications, it's a shame she decided to join the Arataki gang. I must concede, however, that at the very lease, her presence has effectively prevented idlers from stirring up trouble and disturbing the public, reducing the burden on the Tenryou Commission.
Thoma	About Thoma The Tenryou Commission’s estate is very large. It would serve us well to have a fine housekeeper like Thoma who could keep all the numerous and disparate household affairs in order. If he ever tires of working for the Kamisato Clan, I would very much like for him to come to us… though I doubt that day will ever come.
Yae Miko	About Yae Miko Guuji Yae's actions often leave me with many questions... Nevertheless, the fact that she is the head shrine maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine clearly shows the level of trust and approval that the Shogun places in her, and for this reason I also greatly respect her. But... if there ever comes a day when she disobeys the Shogun's will, then please accept my apologies in advance.
Yoimiya	About Yoimiya As long as she's not setting off fireworks in my camp, I will cause her no trouble. Heh, yes I know — all else aside, her fireworks are spectacular and brilliant, and she deserves all the praise she gets. The issue for me is that fireworks are fleeting in nature. After one brief moment of dazzling light, all that remains is the pitch-black night sky, the same as before. So I often have to caution myself not to become too captivated by this illusory spectacle. It is transient, but Inazuma is eternal, and my mission is to protect Inazuma.
