Elemental Burst Optimization
To maximize Elemental Burst (EB) particles, follow these steps: 1. Hold Skill to charge your Elemental Burst. 2. Immediately press the skill button to release the Elemental Burst and generate more particles. EB Particle Generation
This technique is particularly useful for characters with high Elemental Burst damage, such as Keqing with the Staff of Homa and Viridescent Venerer set. Team Composition
For optimal results, pair your character with a team that can provide a consistent Elemental Reaction, such as:

Keqing (Electro) with Xingqiu (Hydro)
Keqing (Electro) with Barbara (Hydro)

Farming Locations
To farm for EB particles, head to the Winds of the Dawn domain in the Chalk Prince Qixing area. This domain offers a high concentration of enemies that can trigger Elemental Reactions. EB Particle Count
The number of EB particles generated will depend on your character's level, Elemental Mastery (EM), and the number of Elemental Reactions triggered. Aim for an EM of at least 80 to maximize particle generation.

Sayu Skills

Shuumatsuban Ninja Blade

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.

Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash

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.

The special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts!
Sayu curls up into a rolling Fuufuu 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 the Fuufuu Windwheel state, rolling forward a short distance before using the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick.

Hold
Rolls about continuously in the Fuufuu Windwheel state, increasing Sayu's resistance to interruption while within that state.
During this time, Sayu can control the direction of her roll, and can use the skill again to end her Windwheel state early and unleash a stronger version of the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick.
The Hold version of this skill can trigger Elemental Absorption.

This skill has a maximum duration of 10s and enters CD once its effects end. The longer Sayu remains in her Windwheel state, the longer the CD.

Elemental Absorption
If Sayu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro while in her Windwheel state, she will deal additional elemental DMG of that type.
Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of this skill.

Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry

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.

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 specific intervals, the Daruma will take one of several actions based on the situation around it:
·If the HP of nearby characters is above 70%, it will attack a nearby opponent, dealing Anemo DMG.
·If there are active characters with 70% or less HP nearby, it will heal the active character with the lowest percentage HP left. If there are no opponents nearby, it will heal active characters nearby even if they have 70% HP or more.
