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.
