Looking for the best Genshin Impact Sara build? This four-star Electro archer and general of the Tenryou commission was revealed in the version 2.0 trailer long ago, and many of you will have already met her during your clashes with the vision hunt decree in Inazuma. But how do you get the most out of this Electro archer?
Kujou Sara is a cool character with a unique playstyle. Considering she's known for her speed and uses a bow, she's a little like an ambush hunter, leaving delayed Crowfeathers that explode with Electro and give your characters attack bonuses, allowing you to use her as a powerful support.

The best Genshin Impact Sara build
Electro Support Sara Build
Role | Best Weapon | Alternate Weapon | Best Artifact | Alternate Artifact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Ranged Elemental Support | Mitternachts Waltz | Hamayumi | Thundering Fury | Pale Flame |
Support DPS | Skyward Harp | Hamayumi | Shimenawa's Reminiscence | Gladiator's Finale |
The best Sara build turns her into a Support character, if only because her attack is too low to make Sara a strong DPS, especially if you already rolled Yoimiya. Her Elemental Skill lets Sara boost party attack, and the Crowfeather's delayed Electro attack makes her perfect for setting up Reactions.
When is the next Genshin Impact Sara banner?
Though Kujou Sara is available in any character banner, she'll be one of the rate-up characters for a few weeks from December 27, 2022.
She'll be available in both the Raiden Shogun banner and the Kamisato Ayato banner during these dates, alongside Sayu and Rosaria. Click those links to see their builds and how all the characters pair together.
What's the best team comp for Kujou Sara?
Character | Element |
|---|---|
Childe | Hydro |
Bennett | Pyro |
Sara | Electro |
Jean | Anemo |
Sara is a great Support unit that shines especially as part of a team if you mind the companions you put her with.

Bennett and Fischl serve as great Sub-DPS units capable of triggering numerous Elemental Reactions, and Tartaglia can benefit from the Electro reactions that Sara can unleash.
What are the best weapons for Sara?
Weapons like the Mitternacht Waltz, Hamayumi, or Skyward Harp are the only real good options for Sara. You can also find a more affordable and equally good alternative in the form of The Viridescent Hunt, which is a Battle Pass reward.
Weapon | Rarity | Stats | Skills | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Skyward Harp | 5-Star | Crit Rate | Echoing Ballad: Increases Critical Damage by 20%. Hits have a 60% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical Attack damage. Can only occur once every 4 seconds. | Wishes |
Mitternachts Waltz | 4-Star | Physical DMG Bonus | Evernight Duet: Normal Attack hits on opponents increase Elemental Skill Damage by 20% for 5s. Elemental Skill hits on opponents increase Normal Attack Damage by 20% for 5s. | Wishes |
Hamayumi | 4-Star | Attack | Full Draw: Increases Normal Attack Damage by 16% and Charged Attack Damage by 12%. When the equipping character's Energy reaches 100%, this effect is increased by 100%. | Wishes |
The Viridescent Hunt | 4-Star | Crit Rate | Verdant Wind: Upon hit, Normal and Aimed Shot Attacks have a 50% chance to generate a Cyclone, which will continuously attract surrounding enemies, dealing 40% of Attack as Damage to these enemies every 0.5 seconds, for 4 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 14 seconds. | Battle Pass Reward |
What are the best artifacts for Sara?
Artifacts | Two-Piece Effect | Four-Piece Effect |
|---|---|---|
Thundering Fury | Electro damage Bonus +15% | Increases damage caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged, and Superconduct by 40%. Triggering such effects decreases Elemental Skill CD by 1 second. Can only occur once every 0.8 seconds. |
Pale Flame | Physical damage +25% | When an Elemental skill hits an opponent, Attack is increased by 9% for 7 seconds. This effect stacks up to 2 times and can be triggered once every 0.3s. Once 2 stacks are reached, the 2 piece bonus is increased by 100%. |
Shimenawa's Reminiscence | Attack +18%. | When casting an Elemental Skill, if the character has 15 or more Energy, they lose 15 Energy and Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 50% for 10s. This effect will not trigger again during that duration. |
Gladiator's Finale | Attack +18%. | If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack damage by 35%. |
The artifacts will depend on what’s your approach with Fischl. If you’re going for a ranged elemental support build you should get an even combination of Pale Flame and Thundering Fury.
However, if you’re aiming for an Support DPS build, you may want to prioritize Shimenawa's Reminiscence and maybe throw Gladiator’s Finale in the mix.
