How to play as Sai

Being both a healer and a sub-deader, Sayu enters the battlefield only to activate her skills and retreat back into the pocket. Be careful when long pressing a skill as it wastes quite a lot of time. In addition, E-shka causes the absorption of elements, which can spoil or, on the contrary, enhance reactions. Keep an eye on the situation in battle in order to use the skill to the best advantage.

Sayu's elemental explosion directly depends on the amount of HP of nearby squad members:

• above 70% – causes damage;
• below 70% - heals the ally with the lowest health;
• above 70%, and there are no enemies around - heals all allies.

Carefully control the HP levels of the characters in the squad in order to use the ultimate in the right way in a specific situation in combat. This limitation is removed with the receipt of 1 constellation.

Rotation

Sai's rotation in both builds is the same:

1. Activate the abilities of supports and sub-dps to activate buffs and impose the desired element on opponents.
2. Go to Saya and activate an elemental skill to dispel the elements.
3. Switch to the main damage dealer and deal damage.
4. Use Elemental Burst when you need to heal allies.
5. Repeat from the first point on rollback.

Сonclusion

Sayu is an excellent character who will easily take a slot in various squads, fulfilling the role that a particular team requires of her. She can act as a sub-DD, inflicting her damage and inflating elements for the subsequent buff of the squad, and as a healer, maintaining the health of allies at a high level. In addition, Sayu is able to move quickly with her elemental skill, making it easier to explore Teyvat's territories.
