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.

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.

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.

Kujou Sara is a specialized attack buffer that can fit in many teams but due to the existence of Bennet whose attack buffs are superior to Sara’s, She thrives mainly as electro support.
