Glory to the Shogun!
The Tengu warrior, Kujou Sara is a four-star character from Inazuma, featured in the recent Genshin Impact banner of Raiden and Ayato. Kujou Sara is the leader of Tenryou Commission forces who played a big part in Genshin Impact’s Vision Hunt decree saga. Sara is a specialized electro buffer who uses Bow and carries the electro vision with her. In this Genshin Impact guide, we will go through the best build, artifacts, weapons, and more of Kujou Sara.
Genshin Impact Kujou Sara’s Talents and Playstyle
Sara’s main playstyle, support mainly revolves around her elemental skill, but she also has good damage scaling on her burst that can be used to make her a sub DPS. Her elemental skill provides a hefty ATK buff for her teammates and along with the help of her C6, this buff also adds another electro-buffing part to it.
Skill and Burst Talent
| Tengu Stormcall (Skill) | Retreats rapidly with the speed of a tengu, summoning the protection of the Crowfeather. Gains Crowfeather Cover for 18s, and when Kujou Sara fires a fully-charged Aimed Shot, Crowfeather Cover will be consumed, and will leave a Crowfeather at the target location. Crowfeathers will trigger Tengu Juurai: Ambush after a short time, dealing Electro DMG & granting the active character within its AoE an ATK Bonus based on Kujou Sara’s Base ATK. The ATK Bonuses from different Tengu Juurai will not stack, & their effects and duration will be determined by the last Tengu Juurai to take effect. |
| Subjugation: Koukou Sendou (Burst) | Casts down Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker, dealing AOE Electro DMG. Afterwards, Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker spreads out into 4 consecutive bouts of Tengu Juurai: Stormcluster, dealing AoE Electro DMG. Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker and Tengu Juurai: Stormcluster can provide the active character within their AoE with the same ATK Bonus as given by the Elemental Skill, Tengu Stormcall. The ATK Bonuses from various Tengu Juurai will not stack, and their effects and duration will be determined by the last Tengu Juurai to take effect. |

Constellations
For many characters, constellations add a bit of strength to their kit, but for Sara, her constellations add a huge buff to her overall strength as a character. Her C2 makes it easier for her teammates to receive the attack buff from her elemental. The C6 of Sara is one of the strongest constellations in the game for every Electro character. This constellation adds a huge 60% Crit Damage buff to all of her teammate’s electro damage alongside the attack buff of skill.
