‘Genshin Impact’ Reveals Sayu Demo Trailer, Full Move List, Release Date

Genshin Impact is about to roll out two more heroes at the same time, Yoimiya and Sayu, with Sayu being her four star accompaniment on August 10. We have not seen Sayu in the story of Inazuma yet, but today we have a new look at the sleepy ninja and what she’s able to accomplish despite her somewhat lazy demeanor.

Sayu is an anemo claymore hero, which I believe is a first for the game, and the new trailer below shows off moves where she spins in a wind ball and summons a giant round friend in battle:

We actually know the full extent of Sayu’s kit, which you can read in more detail here to see if she would make a good fit for your team:

Elemental Skill – Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash

Sayu curls up into a rolling Fuufuu Windwheel and smashes into opponents at high speed, dealing Anemo DMG. When the duration ends, she unleashes a Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick, dealing AoE Anemo DMG.

Press: Enters the Fuufuu Windwheel state, rolling forward a short distance before using the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick.

Hold: Rolls about continously in the Fuufuu Windwheel state, increasing Sayu's resistance to interruption while within that state.

During this time, Sayu can control the direction of her roll, and can use the skill again to end her Windwheel state early and unleash a stronger version of the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick. The Hold version of this skill can trigger Elemental Absorption. This skill has a maximum duration of 10s and enters CD once its effects end. The longer Sayu remains in her Windwheel state, the longer the CD.

Elemental Burst – Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry

It summons a pair of helping hands for Sayu. Deals Anemo DMG to nearby opponents and heals all nearby party members. The amount of HP restored is based on Sayu's ATK. This skill then summons a Muji-Muji Daruma.

Muji-Muji Daruma: At specific intervals, the Daruma will take one of several actions based on the situation around it:

If the HP of nearby characters is above 70%, it will attack a nearby opponent, dealing Anemo DMG.

If there are active characters with 70% or less HP nearby, it will heal the active character with the lowest percentage HP left.
If there are no opponents nearby, it will heal active characters nearby even if they have 70% HP or more.
I’m not sure how popular Sayu will end up being if you have any of the other major anemo heroes the game has added like Venti, Xiao or Kazuha. And of course the Traveler themselves started with anemo powers too. But if you like small ninjas with claymores, here you go. I also think it’s pretty cool that creator LilyPichu is doing the English voice for Sayu, which you can clearly recognize in the trailer. She and Yoimiya launch this week at banner reset.
