Finding:
Ending a continuous Hold Skill (Sayu or Yelan hE as examples) by tapping E is considered "Using an Elemental Skill" for the sake of 4-Piece Crimson Witch Pyro damage bonus. Letting the Skill end naturally does not.

Evidence:

Significance:
Continuous Hold Skills have higher potential synergy with effects which stack based on "using an Elemental Skill" as they can stack it twice.

Burst Mechanics​

  • Sayu can absorb pre-fed Particles during her Elemental Burst animation - Nass008#8577
    • Works for both Tap and Hold E
  • The summoned Daruma can be pushed around by characters or enemies, also moving its healing/attack range. - pox#1832 and Mcpie#8672
  • Sayu's Elemental Burst snapshots. - Nass008#8577
  • Sayu's Elemental Burst can reach Venti's ult & hit consistently. - 채z#0007
  • The Daruma works the same way as Guoba - Mcpie#8672
    • Doesn't light up in Elemental sight, is movable, cannot get infused, etc.
  • Sayu's Burst has separate ICD on her Burst's initial hit and Daruma damage ticks - DeFault#1802
    • The summoned Daruma deals 7 ticks of Anemo Damage in a small AoE - Zakharov#5645
    • The Daruma Damage ticks follow standard ICD
    • This means Sayu can Swirl 5 times during her Burst (1 from cast + 4 from Daruma)\

Finding:
Sayu's initial Q tick heals all party members.

Evidence:
YouTube

Note Q doesn't have anything to Swirl in the video, meaning this isn't A1 activating (which is known to be party-wide).
Also note the other Q ticks aren't party-wide, only the initial one is.

Significance:
Better understanding of Sayu's healing.

Passive Mechanics​

Passive: Yoohoo Art: Silencer's Secret​

  • Passive works even if Sayu is off-field - Mcpie#8672
  • If entities are connected (like crystalflies), then picking them up will always scare the others - Mcpie#8672
  • If entities do not care about the state of other beings, then picking it up next to another one won't startle them - Mcpie#8672
  • Sayu's passive does not affect coop members - works only for your own party - Mcpie#8672

Finding:
The stated DMG increase of Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick from Sayu's C2 increases both Anemo Kick Hold DMG and Absorbed Element Kick DMG, by 3.3% every .5s tick

Evidence:
Using a Sayu with 80/80 R1 Sac GS, no artifacts (713 ATK, 72 em), talent level 1 Skill

In the first video, Sayu rolls at 24s, kicks at 26s, and the resulting ~2s roll deals 752 Anemo and 263 Pyro.
In the second video, Sayu rolls at 8s, kicks at 18s, and the resulting ~max length roll deals 1137 Anemo and 398 Pyro.

Rough napkin maths:
base Anemo hold kick DMG: 716
base absorbed Element kick DMG: 251

2 roll ticks Anemo hold kick DMG: 716 _ (1 + 2 _ 0.033) = 763
2 roll ticks abs elem kick DMG: 251 _ (1 + 2 _ 0.033) = 267

20 roll ticks Anemo hold kick DMG: 716 _ (1 + 20 _ 0.033) = 1188
20 roll ticks abs elem kick DMG: 251 _ (1 + 20 _ 0.033) = 416
