Energy Recharge
The Energy Recharge and reliable particles ease team energy needs; crit procs align with the cancel trick to flood the team with energy.
ATK%
Boosts ATK for stronger heals (if scaling) and gives the whole party a massive ATK buff on kill, turning sustain into offensive support.
Energy Recharge
Provides Energy Recharge and boosts Skill damage. Pairs with the hold-cancel, and the passive refunds energy, so bursts come back faster.
Energy Recharge
High base ATK and Energy Recharge; the vacuum blades add damage while the active boost improves sustained output without altering healing rotation.
Energy Recharge
A lucky reset lets you use the hold-cancel twice in a row, doubling particle generation and healing procs in the same rotation.
Elemental Mastery
Turns your Elemental Mastery into bonus ATK for the team, raising healing and team damage simultaneously.
Elemental Mastery
Grants Elemental Mastery and ATK% after a Hydro reaction, making it a simple stat stick that boosts healing and reaction damage.
Energy Recharge
The leaf that drops after a reaction buffs the whole party's Elemental Mastery; supports both healing and reaction setups.
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery and a damage bonus against <element hydro>Hydro</element>/<element electro>Electro</element> lets a reaction-focused team squeeze extra value while still healing.
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery plus a cheap damage bonus versus slimes; a budget option for reaction teams that does not hurt healing.
Artifacts
If you are swirling <element anemo>Anemo</element>, this shreds the swirled element's RES, amplifying the team's damage while you heal.
A quick Burst triggers the ATK buff for the party, turning the heal window into an offensive window.
The Energy Recharge-from-4pc converts into Burst DMG, so stacking recharge for the cancel trick also makes your burst hit harder.
Healing bubbles up into AoE <element physical>Physical</element> DMG, giving the healer a passive damage contribution; the 2-pc is also 15% healing bonus.

Tip: Hold
SUPPORT — For Sayu, Elemental Mastery builds boost Anemo damage; ATK% hybrid setups improve healing. A Healing Bonus circlet enhances healing without sacrificing much damage. When she is the sole Anemo unit, prioritize high Energy Recharge to fund her Burst.
Weapon Choices — Wolf's Gravestone boosts team ATK% and increases healing. Use it only after meeting Energy Recharge requirements. Forest Regalia excels in Aggravate teams, surpassing Katsuragikiri Nagamasa. Otherwise, it's merely an Energy Recharge% stat stick.
Artifact Sets — Viridescent Venerer (4) shreds enemy Elemental RES and amplifies Swirl damage — essential for Anemo supports. Ocean-Hued Clam (4) trades utility for stronger heals and physical damage bubbles. Not recommended to farm for her specifically.
