Sara has black wings which is a common trait among the tengu. She also has a crow mask affixed on her head.
In this guide, we will discuss Kujou Sara’s Talents, Constellation, Recommended Roles, Recommended Weapons, and Artifact Sets.
Kujou Sara’s Talents
| Normal Attack – Tengu Bowmanship | Normal Attack Perform up to 5 consecutive shots with a bow. Charged Attack Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, crackling lightning will accumulate on the arrowhead. An arrow fully charged with the storm’s might will deal Electro DMG. When in the Crowfeather Cover state, a fully-charged arrow will leave a Crowfeather behind after it hits. Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact. |
| Elemental Skill – Tengu Stormcall | Retreats rapidly with the speed of a tengu, summoning the protection of the Crowfeather. Gains Crowfeather Cover for 18s, and when Kujou Sara fires a fully-charged Aimed Shot, Crowfeather Cover will be consumed, and will leave a Crowfeather at the target location. Crowfeathers will trigger Tengu Juurai: Ambush after a short time, dealing Electro DMG 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. |
| Elemental Burst – Subjugation: Koukou Sendou | Casts down Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker, dealing AoE Electro DMG. Afterwards, Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker spreads out into 4 consecutive bouts of Tengu Juurai: Stormcluster, dealing AoE Electro DMG. 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. The ATK Bonus provided by various kinds of Tengu Juurai will not stack, and their effects and duration will be determined by the last Tengu Juurai to take effect. |
| 1st Ascension Passive – Immovable Will | While in the Crowfeather Cover state provided by Tengu Stormcall, Aimed Shot charge times are decreased by 60%. |
| 4th Ascension Passive – Decorum | When Tengu Juurai: Ambush hits opponents, Kujou Sara will restore 1.2 Energy to all party members for every 100% Energy Recharge she has. This effect can be triggered once every 3s. |
| Utility Passive – Land Survey | When dispatched on an expedition in Inazuma, time consumed is reduced by 25%. |
Constellation and Effects
| Level | Name | Effect |
| 1 | Crow’s Eye | When Tengu Juurai grants characters ATK Bonuses or hits opponents, the CD of Tenu Stormcall is decreased by 1s. This effect can be triggered once every 3s. |
| 2 | Dark Wings | Unleashing Tengu Stormcall will leave a weaker Crowfeather at Kujou Sara’s original position that will deal 30% of its original DMG. |

Recommended Roles for Kujou Sara
With her ability to increase a party member’s ATK and restore energy for all party members, Kujou Sara works best as a Support character.
Best Weapons for Kujou Sara
Below are some of the best weapons for Kujou Sara:
| Weapon | Bonus Stat | Skill |
| Amos’ Bow | ATK 10.8% | Strong-Willed – Increases Normal Attack and Aimed Shot DMG by 18%. Increases DMG by 12% for every 0.1s that an arrow is in flight. Stacks up to 5 times on each arrow. |
| Favonius Warbow | Energy Recharge 13.3% | Windfall – CRIT Hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occure once every 12s. |
| The Stringless | Elemental Mastery 36 | Arrowless Song – Increased Elemental Skill And Elemental Burst DMG by 24%. |
While there is currently no “perfect” bow for Support Sara, you may consider the bow’s base ATK (Amos’s Bow) as this is the basis for her ATK buff. On the other hand, you may consider having faster Energy Recharge (Favonius Warbow) as her Burst deals good AoE Elecro DMG and triggers the ATK buff. Lastly, you may consider increasing her Burst DMG potential (The Stringless).
Best Artifact Sets for Kujou Sara
| Artifact Set | Effect |
| Noblesse Oblige x4 | – Elemental Burst DMG +20%. – Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members’ ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack. |
| Emblem of Severed Fate x4 | – Energy Recharge +20%. – Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way. |
| Thundering Fury x4 | – Electro DMG Bonus +15% – Increases damage caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged and Superconduct by 40%. Triggering such effects decreases Elemental Skill CD by 1s. Can only occur once every 0.8s. |
Noblesse Oblige x4 is probably the best Support Artifact Set for Kujou Sara as it can increase all party members’ ATK on top of her own buff from Tengu Juurai. But you may also increase her energy recharge to spam her burst with Emblem of Severed Fate x4. Lastly, if you want to focus on her Electro DMG potential, you may use Thundering Fury x4.
