Want to see how Kujou Sara compares to other characters in Genshin Impact? Check out our complete Genshin Impact Tier List that ranks every character from Best to Worst.

Kujou Sara's loyalty to the Raiden Shogun stems from the fact that she thinks being granted the Electro vision saved her as she was falling from a great height during battle. The powers the vision gave her allowed her to land safely. She eats almost anything except sweets, as these put her at ease. Something she thinks unfitting for her.

Kujou Sara is a 4-star character who debuted in the banner "Reign of Serenity" together with Raiden Shogun.

Combat Details

Kujou Sara is a sub DPS/support character capable of being of buffing the attacks of your party. Her caveat is that she needs at least 200% energy recharge if she's solo, and about 140% if she's with Raiden Shogun. Don't let that deter you from using her, as she's a very good substitute for Bennett if you don't have him as her battery potential with the aforementioned energy recharge can be quite insane.

Kujou Sara's Talents and Skill Priorities

Sara has the unique ability to buff your party member's attacks. However, it's much different from Bennett where all you have to press is his elemental burst. For Kujou Sara, you'd need to press her elemental skill first and then aim a charged shot on the ground, and then switch to the character you want the buff to apply to.

For skill priorities, go with:

  • Elemental Skill
  • Elemental Burst
  • Normal Attack

Crowfeathers will trigger Tengu Juurai: Ambush after a short time, dealingElectroDMG 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.

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.

Passive TalentLand SurveyWhen dispatched on an expedition in Inazuma, time consumed is reduced by 25%.

Kujou Sara's Constellation

Kujou Sara works as a great unit at C0, however, C2 is where things get really good for her. Aside from that, C4 and C6 are also constellations to look out for. Especially C6 which can make her OP on certain team compositions.

Constellation NameIn-Game Description
Crow's Eye (C1)When Tengu Juurai grant characters ATK Bonuses or hits opponents, the CD of Tengu Stormcall is decreased by 1s.

This effect can be triggered once every 3s.

Dark Wings (C2)Unleashing Tengu Stormcall will leave a weaker Crowfeather at Kujou Sara's original position that will deal 30% of its original DMG.

Conclusive Proof (C4)The number of Tengu Juurai: Stormcluster released by Subjugation: Koukou Sendou is increased to 6.

Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Sin of Pride (C6)TheElectroDMG of characters who have had their ATK increased by Tengu Juurai has its Crit DMG increased by 60%.

Kujou Sara can be a polarizing character due to her playstyle. Some people enjoy it and some people despise it. Keep this in mind when building her.

Best Weapons for Kujou Sara

Kujou Sara, similar to Bennett, would want to choose the highest ATK bow possible in your arsenal. This is due to the fact that her ATK% buff scales off of her BASE ATTACK. With that being said, here are some examples:

Weapon NameIn-Game Description
Skyward HarpIncreases CRIT DMG by20%. Hits have a60% chance to inflict a smallAoEattack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every4s.
Sacrificial BowAfter dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a40% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every30s.
Elegy for the EndA part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by60.

When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field.

When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" effect for 12s. "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" increases Elemental Mastery by100and increases ATK by20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s. Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.

Best Artifacts for Kujou Sara

Kujou Sara can use these as her artifact sets depending on what your party needs. If nobody in your party is wearing 4 piece Noblesse Oblige, you can go for it. Otherwise, go with 4 piece Emblem of Severed Fate. Main stats to look out for are Energy Recharge/ATK Sands, Electro DMG% Goblet, Crit Rate/Crit Damage Circlet depending on your crit rate.

Go with Energy Recharge sands if you don't fulfill the 200% Energy Recharge criteria for solo Kujou Sara or 140% if paired with Raiden Shogun.

Artifact NameIn-Game Description
Emblem of Severed Fate
  • 2-piece effect: Energy Recharge +20%
  • 4-piece effect: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way.
Noblesse Oblige
