Weapons
Energy Recharge
CRIT hits generate particles, easing Energy Recharge needs; stack CRIT Rate to trigger reliably and fund Burst healing.
ATK%
If healing scales with ATK, the massive ATK stat boosts both healing and team ATK after hitting low-HP foes; otherwise a pure stat stick for support damage.
Energy Recharge
Skill restores 6 Energy after use, directly funding Burst; its Energy Recharge substat keeps the healing field active without extra funneling.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge substat and vacuum blades add damage; the ER alone can carry Burst uptime if you lack Favonius procs.
Energy Recharge
Resets Skill cooldown, letting you use the hold-tap particle trick twice; extra grouping and more particles per rotation.
Elemental Mastery
EM substat and team ATK buff from EM, great in Swirl/Hyperbloom teams where reactions matter more than raw healing.
Elemental Mastery
EM substat plus ATK buff after Skill or Burst; cheap option for reaction-focused healing builds that still want some support.
Energy Recharge
After a reaction, create a leaf that grants EM and ATK to the picker; supports Swirl damage and team buffs.
Elemental Mastery
EM substat and 20% DMG vs Hydro/Electro-affected foes; strong in Electro-Charged or Hyperbloom teams.
Elemental Mastery
EM substat and bonus DMG to Pyro/Electro-affected enemies; budget reaction support option.
Artifacts
4pc shreds Anemo RES by 40% and boosts Swirl DMG; default support set for any Anemo healer enabling reaction teams.
4pc Burst buffs team ATK by 20%; use if no one else holds it and you can Burst every rotation for healing.
2pc Energy Recharge, 4pc boosts Burst DMG by ER; solves energy needs while adding personal damage if healing is sufficient.
4pc turns healing into Sea-Dyed Foam bubbles that deal damage; adds off-field damage while you heal, good in teams with little healing needed.

Recommended Primary Stats
Hold
Sayu Support
Elemental Mastery builds raise personal damage; ATK-hybrid builds heal more. A Healing Bonus circlet improves healing while keeping respectable damage. As the only Anemo slot, needs high Energy Recharge.
Weapons
Wolf's Gravestone: universal claymore that buffs teammates and boosts Sayu's healing; best after meeting ER threshold.
Forest Regalia: in Aggravate teams can outperform Katsuragikiri Nagamasa; otherwise an ER stat stick.
Artifacts
Viridescent Venerer (4): core Anemo set; shreds enemy Elemental RES and buffs Swirl damage.
Ocean-Hued Clam (4): trades utility for stronger healing and extra damage; not recommended to farm for Sayu specifically.
