Sayu curls up into a rolling Fuufuu Windwheel and smashes into opponents at high speed, dealing Anemo Damage.

- The press option has a quicker cooldown of 6 seconds.
- The 2nd constellation will further increase its damage by 3.3%.
Hold:

Press the elemental skill button again (“E” on PC) to end her rolling early. - It has a maximum duration of 10 seconds.
- The skill will only enter its cooldown once you release it or the maximum duration ends.
- The longer you used up its duration, the longer the skill will go on cooldown.
- While rolling, Sayu’s resistance to interruptions is increased.
- You can control Sayu’s rolling direction during this state.
- The hold option can deal higher damage to opponents.
- The hold option can trigger elemental absorption whenever you hit an opponent while rolling.
