Why This Build Works

Sara's Tengu Juurai grants the active character an ATK bonus equal to 43% of her BASE ATK (char + weapon only, artifact ATK% does nothing). C6 adds +60% CRIT DMG to buffed Electro users. She is the best Raiden support; her A4 also gives team energy per 100% ER.

Key Stat Threshold

ER 200-250% (80-cost Burst); high Base-ATK bow (Skyward Harp/Elegy) since the buff ignores artifacts; Noblesse Oblige or Emblem; CRIT for her own Burst. Level Skill > Burst. C6 is essential for the CRIT DMG.

Current Meta Status

Tier A as an Electro buffer (5.x/6.x) but team-picky: shines next to Raiden/Cyno, otherwise outclassed by Fischl/Yae/Raiden as Electro support. Her Base-ATK buff is strong but niche.

Summary: Is Kujou Sara Worth Building?

Sara provides ATK buff with her crowfeather, and C6 boosts Electro crit damage significantly. With the right investment, Kujou Sara performs at a 8/10 level in current content.

When NOT to use this character

Buff reads Base ATK only (artifact ATK% wasted); 6s short buff window via aimed shot; very high ER need; outclassed by Bennett's teamwide ATK or by 5-star Electro applicators in non-Raiden teams.

Community Controversy

Noblesse vs Emblem; Skyward Harp (Base ATK) vs Elegy (ER + team buff); and Sara vs Fischl/Yae as the Electro slot in Raiden/Cyno teams; C6 value.

In-Depth Guide

Kujou Sara is the Electro bow support whose value is an ATK buff that scales with her own ATK. Her skill (Tengu Stormcall) on tap fires a crow strike; on hold it creates a Crowfeather Cover that, when the active character's attack lands on it, grants an ATK bonus based on Sara's ATK stat. Her burst (Subzero Barrage) deals AoE Electro and leaves a Crowfeather that buffs the next attacker - effectively a team-wide ATK boost for Electro carries. Because her buff scales with ATK, she wants ATK% Sands and an ATK weapon, plus enough Energy Recharge (around 180-220%) to keep her 80-cost burst up. 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate is the standard for burst uptime, with 2pc ATK plus 2pc Emblem as a fallback. Skyward Harp, Hamayumi and Mouun's Moon are her best weapons, with Elegy for the End and Favonius Warbow as support options. Her best teams are Electro carry buffers - Raiden, Keqing, Cyno, and even Xiao to a degree - where the ATK buff directly raises their damage. Where she struggles: her buff only helps the active character who triggers the Crowfeather, her application is single-target, and at C0 her ER needs are demanding. She is a dedicated Electro support with no flex value.
