What is the best Genshin Impact Sara build?
Sara is a four-star electro bow-wielder. She’s a unique support character with a kit geared towards buffing an electro DPS. Though niche, with enough investment and the right team comp, she can truly shine – and, more importantly, make your electro DPS shine.
Here’s a brief overview of our best Sara build:
| Rarity | ★★★★ |
| Element | Electro |
| Weapon | Bow |
| Best weapon | Skyward Harp |
| Weapon substitutes |
|
| Best artifact set | Emblem of Severed Fate |
| Artifact substitutes |
|
| Main stats |
|
| Sub stats |
|
While she can be used as a main DPS, we generally advise against it as she’s not really built for that role. Sara works best as a sub-DPS or a buffer support, with some potential to battery her allies.
Sara’s best weapon is Skyward Harp, and her best artifact set is Emblem of Severed Fate. When choosing artifacts for her, we recommend prioritizing crit, attack%, and energy recharge. In terms of talent priority, you should level her elemental skill first, followed by her elemental burst, then her normal attack.
Sara is quite dependent on constellations, and she isn’t really viable until you get her to C2 or higher. However, if you do manage to get her to C6, she becomes an exceptional character with a stronger buff than even Genshin Impact’s Bennett.
How to use Sara
Sara isn’t the easiest character to use, and it may take some practice to get used to her playstyle. Her most important asset in battle is her Tengu Stormcall, so learning when to use it is an integral part of mastering her kit.
When it comes to playstyle, frequently swapping characters is the key to Sara’s success. When her abilities are ready, switch to Sara and use them to both buff her allies and dish out some damage, before switching to your main DPS or burst DPS to make the most of the attack bonus she provides.
When built, even during these brief appearances, she can deal some great damage, which only gets better if you manage to get her to C6. At C6, she also becomes the ultimate support for all electro characters – especially Raiden.
What are the best weapons for Sara?
Skyward Harp is a really strong pick for Genshin Impact’s Sara. It has the highest base attack of all bows, which greatly enhances the attack buff given by her elemental skill, Tengu Stormcall. Aside from the Skyward Harp, none of the other five-star bows really suit Sara’s playstyle, but they still offer higher attack than most of the four-star options.
When it comes to four-star bows, Alley Hunter is a great choice, as it offers a strong attack bonus, and complements her switch-dependent playstyle, as it increases her damage for every second she’s in the party but not on the field. If you have Sara at C2, Alley Hunter is perfect – and even surpasses most five-star bows at refinement rank five.
If you don’t have Sara at C2 yet, you can use Sacrificial Bow to roughly emulate the benefits of her second constellation. While you may not make the most of its skill due to the brief windows that Sara is in the field, it offers decent energy recharge and, alongside Alley Hunter, has the highest base attack of all of the four-star bows.
