Genshin Impact: The Best Weapons For Kujou Sara

TL;DR:

• Kujou Sara’s ATK buff scales off her weapon’s base ATK, just like Bennett’s Burst.
• Favonius Warbow is a strong F2P pick since Sara triggers crits reliably.
• Sacrificial Bow and Rust are solid 4-star options for a support-focused Sara.
• Skyward Harp gives the highest base ATK among her practical 5-star picks.
• Elegy for the End adds a team-wide buff on top of a high base ATK stat.
• Artifacts don’t increase her buff at all, so weapon choice matters more than usual.

Kujou Sara is one of the best Electro buffers in Genshin Impact, especially in Raiden Shogun teams. Since her kit works almost exactly like Bennett’s, picking the right bow for her takes a slightly different approach than gearing a normal DPS character. Here’s a full breakdown of her best weapons and why each one works.

How Kujou Sara’s Weapon Choice Actually Works

Sara’s Elemental Skill, Tengu Stormcall, and her Elemental Burst both grant an ATK bonus to characters standing near her Crowfeather explosion, and this bonus scales off Sara’s total base ATK. Just like Bennett, artifact substats such as ATK% and Elemental Mastery don’t raise this buff at all. Only leveling Sara herself or giving her a bow with a higher base ATK increases it, which makes weapon choice one of the most important parts of her build.

Best F2P Weapons For Kujou Sara

Favonius Warbow

Favonius Warbow has a lower base ATK than some alternatives, but its Energy Recharge substat and particle-generating passive make Sara an even better battery for the rest of the team. Since Sara triggers crits fairly reliably, this passive activates often enough to matter.

Prototype Crescent

Prototype Crescent can be crafted early in the game and is a good beginner option. Landing charged shots on an enemy’s weak point boosts ATK by a large margin for a short time, and Sara can reach refinement 5 fairly easily since it only needs Bow Prototypes to upgrade.

Best 4-Star Weapons For Kujou Sara

Sacrificial Bow

Sacrificial Bow offers a high base ATK for a 4-star weapon along with an Energy Recharge substat, both of which suit Sara’s kit well. Its passive that resets her Elemental Skill cooldown rarely triggers since Sara spends most fights off-field, but the base stats alone make it a strong pick.

Rust

Rust provides one of the highest base ATK values among 4-star bows, which directly increases Sara’s ATK buff. Its Normal Attack DMG bonus doesn’t matter much for Sara’s playstyle, but the raw base ATK makes it a solid alternative to Favonius Warbow if Energy Recharge isn’t an issue.

Best 5-Star Weapons For Kujou Sara

Skyward Harp

Skyward Harp has one of the highest base ATK values of any bow, which translates directly into a bigger ATK buff for your team. Its Crit DMG bonus and AoE Physical damage passive go mostly unused on a support Sara, but the base ATK alone makes it one of her strongest 5-star options.

Elegy for the End

Elegy for the End has slightly less base ATK than Skyward Harp, but its passive is easy for Sara to trigger since she uses her Skill and Burst constantly. The resulting buff boosts the whole team’s Elemental Mastery and ATK, making this weapon excellent for value even beyond Sara’s own kit.

Polar Star or Thundering Pulse

If you want Sara to double as a sub-DPS rather than a pure buffer, Polar Star and Thundering Pulse are considered her best offensive options thanks to their high base ATK and strong personal damage scaling.

Which Kujou Sara Weapon Should You Actually Use

For most teams, Favonius Warbow or Sacrificial Bow cover Sara’s Energy Recharge needs without giving up much of her ATK buff. If you already have enough Energy Recharge from your artifacts or team, Skyward Harp or Elegy for the End push her buff and utility to their highest point. Save Polar Star or Thundering Pulse only if you specifically want Sara contributing personal damage on top of her support role.
