Sayu Artifacts and Weapons
The first and best direction to take is using a 4-Piece Viridescent Venerer set for Sayu. This set will offer extra Anemo DMG and increase Swirl DMG while reducing the elemental resistance of enemies.
If you do not get good artifacts for Viridescent Venerer, combine them with two pieces of Noblesse Oblige for increased Elemental Burst DMG.
Best Weapons
The best weapon for a Sub-DPS Sayu is the 5-star Claymore Wolf's Gravestone, part of the Standard Banner.
Free to Play alternatives are the Luxurious Sea Lord given for free in Genshin Impact 2.1 or the Sacrificial Greatsword that will reduce the cooldown of her Elemental Skill.
Additionally, players need Vayuda Turquoise, common crafting material for Anemo Characters, and tons of Mora to level up Sayu to the highest level.
