Genshin Impact Sayu is the new four-star character introduced in the Genshin Impact 2.0 update.
Sayu is a ninja-in-training who prefers napping in trees over carrying out her duties. Despite her small stature, she wields a claymore and is the first Anemo character to use that weapon.
Genshin Impact Sayu release date
Sayu’s release date is around August 10 or 11, the same as Yoimiya’s. She’ll feature during the 2.0 update’s second half.
Genshin Impact Sayu banner
Sayu is one of the four-star characters in Yoimiya’s Tapestry of Golden Flame banner. The fireworks maker is the five-star spotlight character, and the other two slots remain a mystery for now.
Since Sayu is a four-star character, you stand a better chance of getting her in Wishes. The game guarantees a four star character every 10 Wishes, and Sayu’s rate is higher while her banner runs.
Genshin Impact Sayu skills
These are Sayu’s special attacks.
Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash (Sayu Elemental Skill)
- Rolls into the Fuufuu Windwheel state and deals Anemo damage to opponents in the way. Unleashes Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick at the end and deals Anemo AoE damage.
- Press: Enters the Fuufuu Whirlwind state and rolls forward a short distance
- Hold: Rolls continuously
- Increases Sayu’s interruption resistance
- Can control the roll’s direction and trigger Elemental Absorption
- Lasts 10 seconds. Can press the skill button again to end early and unleash a more powerful kick
Yoohoo Art: Mujima Flurry (Sayu Burst)
- Deals Anemo damage to close opponents, heals party members, and creates the Muji-Muji Daruma
- If HP of nearby characters is greater than 70%, the Daruma attacks nearby enemies with Anemo damage
- If characters have less than 70% HP, the Daruma heals the one with the lowest HP. Will automatically heal if there are no enemies nearby.

Genshin Impact Sayu build
Sayu is similar to Razor — decent attack, high defense, and reliant on Elemental abilities to stand out. Anything to recharge her Energy is a good move, as is boosting her attack power.
Sayu weapon
Song of Broken Pines is Sayu’s best five-star weapon since it increases attack and attack speed. However, the easier-to-obtain Katsuragi’s Slasher is a strong choice if you don’t want to depend on luck. It’s craftable, increases Elemental Skill damage, and even boosts Energy recharge.
Sayu Artifacts
Viridescent Venerer is a given for Sayu since it increases her Anemo damage by 15% with the two-piece bonus. Pair it with the Scholar set to increase her Energy recharge.
Is Sayu worth pulling?
Sayu is handy in many situations, particularly if you’re playing Genshin Impact in co-op. She won’t sweep the field or replace the likes of Kazuha and Venti, but Sayu makes for a strong DPS and support member. If you don’t need either, though, then it might be best to spend your Primogems on Ayaka instead.
