Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash

Elemental Skill

Description
Gameplay Notes
Advanced Properties
Attribute Scaling
Preview

The special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts!
Sayu curls up into a rolling Fuufuu Windwheel and smashes into opponents at high speed, dealing Anemo DMG. When the duration ends, she unleashes a Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick, dealing AoE Anemo DMG.

(‍Press‍/‍TapText for touch screen‍)
Enters the Fuufuu Windwheel state, rolling forward a short distance before using the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick.

Hold
Rolls about continuously in the Fuufuu Windwheel state, increasing Sayu's resistance to interruption while within that state.
During this time, Sayu can control the direction of her roll, and can use the skill again to end her Windwheel state early and unleash a stronger version of the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick.
The Hold version of this skill can trigger Elemental Absorption.

This skill has a maximum duration of 10s and enters CD once its effects end.
The longer Sayu remains in her Windwheel state, the longer the CD.

Elemental Absorption
If Sayu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro while in her Windwheel state, she will deal additional elemental DMG of that type.
Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of this skill.

If this skill is held, the cooldown does not start until the Fuufuu Windwheel state ends.
When in the Fuufuu Windwheel state, it can deal damage at most once every 0.5s.
When held, for every 0.5s that Sayu remains in the Fuufuu Windwheel state, the CD increases by 0.25s, up to a maximum of 11s.
This skill generates 2 elemental particles when pressed and with the final hit when hold, if it hits at least 1 target. Additionally, when held, 1 particle is generated when it hits an enemy, with a cooldown of 3s.
- The hold version can generate up to 6 elemental particles (4*1 while rolling + 2 with the final hit).
The hold form of this skill can be canceled with a dash, with a jump, or by switching characters. These actions will start the skill's cooldown but will not trigger the ending Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick or the corresponding particle generation.
Sayu will not regenerate Stamina while in the Fuufuu Windwheel State. In addition, Stamina regeneration is delayed by twice as long after exiting Hold E (Stamina regeneration starts after 2 seconds, whereas it normally only takes 1 second).
Sayu is affected by Movement Speed increases while in the Fuufuu Windwheel state.
The skill key/button does not need to remain pressed once the hold version of this skill triggers (takes about 1 second).
The element that Sayu is affected with can also be used as a source of absorption.

Constellation Effects

Constellation Level 2, Egress Prep: Increases the DMG of Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick by 3.3% to 66%, depending on how long Sayu spends rolling.
Constellation Level 5, Speed Comes First: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.

Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry

Elemental Burst

Description
Gameplay Notes
Advanced Properties
Attribute Scaling
Preview

The other super special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts! It summons a pair of helping hands for Sayu.
Deals Anemo DMG to nearby opponents and heals all nearby party members. The amount of HP restored is based on Sayu's ATK. This skill then summons a Muji-Muji Daruma.

Muji-Muji Daruma
At specific intervals, the Daruma will take one of several actions based on the situation around it:

If the HP of nearby characters is above 70%, it will attack a nearby opponent, dealing Anemo DMG.
If there are active characters with 70% or less HP nearby, it will heal the active character with the lowest percentage HP left. If there are no opponents nearby, it will heal active characters nearby even if they have 70% HP or more.

Muji-Muji Daruma DMG follows the default Internal Cooldown of 2.5 seconds/3 hits.
Muji-Muji Daruma can be manipulated with Vacuum Field skills that can suck in objects, like Anemo Traveler's Palm Vortex, Jean's Gale Blade, or Kazuha's Chihayaburu.
After performing the initial attack and heal upon skill activation, the Muji-Muji Daruma will attack or heal (or both, with Sayu's first constellation) 7 more times (once per ~1.7 seconds).

Passive Effects

Passive Talent 2, No Work Today!: The Muji-Muji Daruma's attack AoE is increased, and when a character is healed, nearby characters are also healed for 20% the amount of HP.

Constellation Effects

Constellation Level 1, Multi-Task no Jutsu: "The Muji-Muji Daruma created by Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry will ignore HP limits and can simultaneously attack nearby opponents and heal characters."
Constellation Level 3, Eh, the Bunshin Can Handle It: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
Constellation Level 6, Sleep O'Clock: For each point of Elemental Mastery that Sayu has, the Muji-Muji Daruma's attacks are increased by 0.2% ATK and healing by 3 HP, up to maximums of 400% additional ATK and 6,000 HP for 2,000 Elemental Mastery.
