Kujou Sara build guide · GenGuru: Your guru for Genshin Impact

Overview

ATK buffer
Electro battery

Kujou Sara is a 4-star Electro bow user who supports the team rather than dealing damage herself. Her skill and burst drop Tengu Juurai strikes that give the active character an ATK bonus based on her own Base ATK. The strike from her skill also restores Energy to the whole party based on her Energy Recharge, which makes her a useful battery in Electro teams.

Build her for Energy Recharge first so her burst is ready each rotation, then ATK. Her Constellation 6 adds CRIT DMG to the buffed character's Electro damage, which makes her most valuable in Electro carry teams, especially with the Raiden Shogun.

Weapons

Best first. Every bow on this list links to its page.

Elegy for the End ★★★★★
The best support bow for her. Energy Recharge and a party ATK and Elemental Mastery buff that stacks with her own ATK bonus.
Favonius Warbow ★★★★
Lots of Energy Recharge and extra particles for the team. Her ATK bonus depends on Base ATK, so she loses little by using it.
Sacrificial Bow ★★★★
A skill reset gives a second ATK bonus and more Energy in short rotations.
End of the Line ★★★★
A 4-star from fishing with Energy Recharge, the stat she needs most.

Artifact sets

Noblesse Oblige 4-piece
Her burst triggers a party ATK boost that stacks with her own buff. The usual set when she is a pure support.
Emblem of Severed Fate 4-piece
Lots of Energy Recharge and more burst damage. Good if you want more personal damage and someone else carries Noblesse Oblige.

Teams

Raiden hypercarry
- Kujou Sara
- Raiden Shogun
- Bennett
- Kaedehara Kazuha
Raiden fights on the field while Sara and Bennett give ATK bonuses and Kazuha boosts Electro damage. Sara's Energy refund helps everyone cycle their bursts, and her Constellation 6 makes this team noticeably stronger.
Raiden hypercarry with Sucrose
- Kujou Sara
- Raiden Shogun
- Bennett
- Sucrose
The same idea with Sucrose in Kazuha's place, which is easier to build. Sucrose groups enemies and lowers Electro resistance with Viridescent Venerer.

Tips

Use her skill, then fire a fully charged Aimed Shot. The feather lands where the arrow hits and drops a strike that buffs whoever is standing in it.
Only the active character inside the strike gets the ATK bonus, so swap to your damage dealer before the burst strikes land.
The Energy her skill strike restores grows with her Energy Recharge, so more Energy Recharge helps the whole team, not just her.

Base stats at level 90

Base HP: 9570
Base ATK: 195

Talents

Normal Attack Tengu Bowmanship

Normal Attack Performs up to 5 consecutive shots with a bow. Charged Attack Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, crackling lightning will accumulate on the arrowhead. An arrow fully charged with the storm's might will deal Electro DMG. When in the Crowfeather Cover state, a fully-charged arrow will leave a Crowfeather behind after it hits. Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill Tengu Stormcall

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 and 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, and their effects and duration will be determined by the last Tengu Juurai to take effect.

Elemental Burst Subjugation: Koukou Sendou

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 Bonus provided by various kinds of Tengu Juurai will not stack, and their effects and duration will be determined by the last Tengu Juurai to take effect.
