Genshin Impact 2.0 saw the reveal of three brand new playable characters. The first half of the 2.0 update saw the release of the cryo 5-star sword wielder Kamisato Ayaka. The second half of this update will see two new characters, including the 5-star pyro archer Yoimiya and the 4-star anemo claymore user named Sayu.

A major portion of the Genshin Impact community follows "Seiyuu" and the voice acting industry, where many artists work on an individual's favorite anime, or a video game. Due to this, there is a lot of hype that surrounds the reveal of a voice actor for a newly released character.


Voice actors and details on Sayu in Genshin Impact

1) Background

Specializing in ninjutsu, Sayu comes from the Shiyuumatsu-Ban as a resident ninja in the land of the Samurai. She hasn't grown in height for a long time. She feels like time has stopped for her with herself trapped inside a dream.

Sayu believes the secret to replenishing one's energy lies in sleeping as much as possible. This principle led her into mastering her ninjutsu which includes Fleeing, Hiding and Transforming into different objects. While other people may deem her habit of sleeping as "Laziness," this helps her focus on her work even more.


2) Sayu's Weapon and Vision in Genshin Impact

Sayu might appear to have a timid personality, but she possesses the power to wield a claymore, which is the heaviest weapon type in the game. She holds the anemo vision and is a 4-star character in Genshin Impact.

Sayu uses her Elemental Skill, Yoohoo Art: Fuuiin Dash, to roll and inflict damage to enemies while absorbing and releasing elemental damage. Her Elemental Burst, Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry, deals anemo damage to enemies while healing her teammates at the same time.

This makes her the second claymore wielder in the game after Noelle that will heal their respective party members.
