Active Talents of Sara Kujou
- Tengu Bowmanship. Normal Attack. Sara performs up to five shots with her bow. A charged shot deals increased Electro damage. If your heroine is under the effect of Crowfeather Cover (from the elemental skill), then a successful charged shot leaves behind a crow feather. Plunge Attack deals AoE damage.
- Tengu Stormcall. Elemental Skill. Sara retreats and summons Crowfeather Cover for 18 seconds. During this time, charged attacks grant her crow feathers. After a while, they activate the effect Tengu Juurai: Ambush, which deals Electro damage to enemies and provides an attack bonus to a selected character. The damage increase depends on Sara's base attack.
- Subjugation: Koukou Sendou. Elemental Burst. This ability sets the status of Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker, which deals AoE Electro damage. After that, four Tengu Juurai: Stormclusters appear on the battlefield, attacking enemies with electricity. And your active character receives a damage bonus, depending on Sara's base attack.
Passive Talents of Sara Kujou
- Land Survey. Reduces the duration of expeditions in Inazuma by 25%.
- Tenryou Affairs. Every time Sara increases the attack of another character using Tengu Juurai: Ambush, the cooldown of her elemental skill is reduced by 1 second. This effect can occur once every 3 seconds.
- Immovable Will. When enemies take damage from Tengu Juurai: Ambush, all members of your party recover energy. For every 1% of Energy Recharge Sara has, your allies receive 0.012 units of energy. This effect occurs once every 3 seconds.

The best weapon and artifact build for Sara Kujou
Sara should be armed with a bow called Skyward Harp. It increases critical damage by 20-40%, and when hitting an enemy, there is a 60 to 100% chance to deal 125% damage in a small radius. The effect occurs once every 2-4 seconds. The Skyward Harp can be obtained through prayers.
An alternative option is the four-star Favonius Warbow. When you are armed with this weapon, hitting an enemy with an elemental skill has a 40-80% chance to reset its cooldown, allowing you to use Tengu Stormcall again. The effect can occur once every 16-30 seconds. The Favonius Warbow is also obtained through prayers.
For artifacts, take the set Thundering Fury. 2 pieces from this set increase damage from electric attacks by 15%. If you have 4 artifacts, the damage from Overload, Electro-Charged, and Superconduct statuses increase by 40%. Moreover, triggering these effects reduces the cooldown of the elemental skill by 1 second. The effect occurs once every 0.8 second. Items from this set can be found in the Midsummer Courtyard dungeon. Its location is marked on the map.

How to Play as Sara Kujou? Which Heroes Combine Well in a Team with Sara Kujou?
Sara's main advantage is her ability to enhance the damage of other characters. When playing as her, try to use the elemental skill as often as possible, followed by shooting a charged arrow or using an elemental burst. Then, switch to the main hero to benefit from the attack bonus. Electricity combines well with water, so rely on hydro characters. Additionally, you will need characters who wield geo magic (for the Crystallization effect) and healers.
Optimal team composition with Sara Kujou:
- Xingqiu or Tartaglia (Hydro characters);
- Sara Kujou;
- Ningguang, Albedo, Noelle, or Zhongli (Geo characters);
- Qiqi, Barbara, or Jean (Healers).
