Genshin Impact has finally released the official information about Sayu. She is the Shuumatsuban’s resident ninja, who is obsessed with sleeping and growing taller. She has mastered all kinds of ninjutsu to run away and hide in pursuit of opportunities to laze around and sleep. Such an extraordinary skillset may have very unexpected uses.
Sayu is a support character that can attack and heal at the same time. She can use her skills flexibly to inflict Damage on enemies and heal her teammates at the same time.
Get to know Sayu, her skills, and her stories:
Sayu – Mujina Ninja
- Vision: Anemo
- Constellation: Nyctereutes Minor
- Affiliation: Shuumatsuban
- Weapon: Claymore
Sayu is a support character that can attack and heal at the same time. She can use her skills flexibly to inflict Damage on enemies and heal her teammates at the same time.
STORY
Most Inazumans are unaware of the existence of the Shuumatsuban. In fact, the Shuumatsuban is a secret organization under the Yashiro Commission.
There is also a little ninja who goes by the name of Sayu in the Shuumatsuban, and this fact is even less known. Sayu is a special existence in the Shuumatsuban.
She has been raised in the Shuumatsuban since she was a child, and is extremely loyal to the organization.
That said, her most prominent trait is not “loyalty”, but “laziness.” Lazing off is what Sayu does best. She has long mastered the various arts of ninjutsu, particularly those that help her to slack off or shirk her duties such as escape techniques and aura concealment.
People who don’t know about her habits will have to make a lot of effort to find her.
However, if you ask Sayu about her slacking, she will shrug and reply,
“It’s not that I’m lazy, I just want to spend my time on more meaningful things.”
TALENTS
Normal Attack – 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, perform a more powerful slash.
Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash
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 Damage.
When the duration ends, she unleashes a Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick, dealing AoE Anemo Damage.
Tap
Enters the Fuufuu Windwheel state, rolling forward a short distance before using the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick.
Hold
Rolls about continously 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 10 seconds and enters cooldown once its effects ends. The longer Sayu remains in her Windwheel state, the longer the cooldown.
Elemental Absorption
If Sayu comes into contact with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro while in her Windwheel state, she will deal additional elemental Damage of that type.
Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of this skill.
Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry
The other super special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts!
It summons a pair of helping hands for Sayu.
Deals Anemo Damage to nearby opponents and heals all nearby party members. The amount of HP restored is based on Sayu’s Attack. 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 if above 70%, it will attack a nearby opponent, dealing Anemo Damage.
- 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.
VOICE-OVER
Hello
Sayu, Shuumatsuban, at your disposal! Whew, but if you don’t need me right now, I’m gonna grab some sleep. Nope, no need to tuck me in — I need the extra room to grow into.
When It Snows
It’s really easy to hide in weather like this. There’s this ninjutsu technique called Cloak of Snow where you can pretty much make yourself invisible — all other people see when they look at you is the snowflakes dancing in the air. Wait, it’s confidential though! Don’t tell any of this to the shrine maiden…
Sayu’s Troubles: Height
When is my growth spurt gonna come? Everyone my age practically twice my height, and I’m still… Ugh, enough, I need sleep, sleep is the answer. Good night!
HEARSAY
About Sayu: Shuumatsuban
Sayu is a ninja from the Shuumatsuban.
“Yeah, I’m in the Shuumatsuban, but they only ever get me to do stuff like… yawn information gathering and stealing. So, y’know… it’s not really a big deal if the work doesn’t get done.”
Sayu’s Troubles: Misunderstanding
For some reason, when people meet Sayu for the first time, they always call her tanuki, or teddy-bear, or kitty-cat.
“But Sayu is just Sayu — and definitely not a tanuki!”
Favorite Food
Sayu likes high-carb foods that give her instant energy, like rice balls.
“If you eat one the moment you wake up, it stops you feeling so groggy and bleary-eyed. Then, you can just relax and get straight back to sleep.”
“A windy day is a good day for a getaway.”
