Genshin Impact: Kujou Sara guide — Weapons, artifacts, and talents

Gameplay tips and character summary

We’ve discussed Kujou Sara’s weapons, artifacts, and talent priorities in an in-depth manner already. So, is she a viable member of your team?

Players are already thinking that Kujou Sara will be akin to an Electro Bennett. She’ll rush in to give characters a buff based on her base ATK. However, there are a few differences:

• Her elemental skill and burst have Tengu Juurai procs that trigger the ATK buff.
• The duration of this buff is fairly short (six seconds for Kujou Sara versus 12 seconds for Bennett).
• Although the Tengu Juurai buffs don’t stack, they can be cast in sequence to trigger the ATK buff.
• She can be flexible with certain team comps or playstyles (i.e., snapshot, sustained, quick-swap, and the like).
• The biggest downside is the buff duration since it can cause messy rotations. In some cases, those six seconds would elapse before you can even swap to the third character in your rotation. As such, you’ll have to go back to Kujou Sara for her burst which will provide new instances of the Tengu Juurai ATK buff.
• Long story short: Kujou Sara is a more complicated Bennett. But, hey, if Bennett is already part of Team 1 in Spiral Abyss, then Kujou Sara can be your booster for Team 2.

In addition to the above, what’s looking good is her “C2: Dark Wings,” which will make the buff trigger instantly since you don’t need to do an aimed shot anymore. Also, there’s her “C6: Sin of Pride” constellation. The additional 60% crit damage increase to Electro damage when characters gain the ATK buff is no joke. This makes her an ideal support for the Raiden Shogun (similar to her actual role in the story), Beidou, or Keqing. However, trying to get her to C6 can be downright expensive, too, even if she’s a 4-star character.
