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

- 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.

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.
