Genshin Impact – Who is Sayu?

Genshin Impact Version 2.0 Phase 2 has started. The new update brings the first 4-star character from Inazuma, Sayu. Sayu is a ninja from the Shuumatsuban that is struggling with growing tall. She holds an Anemo vision and wields a claymore. She is a support character that can attack and heal at the same time. Sayu can use her skills flexibly to inflict Damage on enemies and heal her enemies at the same time.

Get to know Sayu, her story, and talents:

STORY – Mujina Ninja

Sayu is a young woman who is afflicted with a strange malady of sorts that prevents her from getting taller, making her appear far older than she may suggest. She is relatively upset with this and has thus opted to neglect a majority of her work, believing that the tasks she’s given aren’t too important. Despite sleeping on a consistent basis, she appears to be sleep-deprived and takes the opportunity to sleep whenever possible, believing that sleeping is the key to growing taller.

Of course, from Sayu’s point of view, this so-called “laziness” is just better time allocation which allows her to focus on things… like sleeping and growing taller.

CHARACTER DEMO – “Sayu: Whirling Windwheel”

Sayu doesn’t know what’s worse… Being mistaken for a tanuki or not being able to take a nap.

So… Sayu decided, why not deal with both at the same time? Fall asleep and then drive out those annoying tanukis in her dreams!

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.

BANNER – Tapestry of Golden Flames

Sayu is released alongside Yoimiya in the Tapestry of Golden Flames Event Wish. During this event wish, the event-exclusive 5-star character “Frolicking Flames” Yoimiya will receive a huge drop-rate boost, alongside 4-star characters “Kätzlein Cocktail” Diona, and “Blazing Riff” Xinyan.

After this event wish ends, the 4-star character “Mujina Ninja” Sayu will be available in the standard wish “Wanderlust Invocation”” in Version 2.1.
