Kujou Sara Support Buff Build

Kujou Sara is primarily chosen for her unique ability to buff her teammates ATK. Her C6 constellation, Sin of Pride, unlocks her extremely valuable buff of 60% CRIT DMG. This buff puts her into a category all her own if you have her constellations completely unlocked. As many players know CRIT DMG is one of the most highly sought after stats for a DPS.

Kujou Sara has two top weapon picks depending on her playstyle; for more a mix of damaged gameplay and team support focus on using Skyward Harp to take advantage of the weapon's unique mechanic. For pure support play, with Kujou Sara being used purely for her power to buff other teammates take Elegy for the End.

As for 4-star weapons, Mouun's Moon is decent substitute for any 5-star weapon choices and can benefit some Electro heavy teams, but the weapon is locked behind a weapon banner. For an easy 4-star weapon that can be used as a stat stick, with a focus on ER, Sacrificial Bow is decent choice for Kujou Sara. Lastly, Kujou Sara does have a decent F2P option with Fading Twilight when fully ranked up this weapon can beat out most other 4-star R1 options.

For Kujou Sara's artifact selection, the best choice is Emblem of Severed Fate, with Noblesse Oblige coming in at a close second. Emblem of Severed Fate provides a good amount of ER and Burst Damage for her to take advantage of. As for Noblesse Oblige, this is a pure support set that increases her buff potential with an additional 20% ATK buff after her Elemental Burst.

Combos and How to Play Kujou Sara

Kujou Sara should be built with enough ER (roughly 175% solo) to perform a rotation of her Elemental Skill and Burst to maintain her buffs on the active player. As she is used primarily as a support and not damage, you will be bringing her out on the field for her buffs rather than dealing damage with her. Overall, timing and aiming your abilities will become better with practice, but when completed successfully your Main DPS should see a substantial boost in their damage while under Kujou Sara's buffs. These buffs becomes even stronger as you gain constellations with Kujou Sara with the ultimate goal of having her at C6 for the additional CRIT DMG buff.

Kujou Sara's Best Team Comps

Order doesn't matter as much for your buffers, but Raiden will be the final active character on-field. Not only will Raiden use all the buffs from her other party members to amplify her damage, but she will help with recharging her teammates abilities. Very easy to play and is quite powerful when performed correctly.
