As Arknights: Endfield develops, the game will receive numerous updates. New operators will be added to the gacha action RPG, and eventually, some DPS units will become meta, while others will disappear. However, one thing will remain constant: the need for key support units in every team, and Saihi is one of the best options.
Sayhi is a five-star operator who uses the Arts Module as her weapon. She excels at inflicting shock damage on enemies, healing other characters, and increasing their Cryo damage. With the right build and the right weapons and gear, she significantly increases the team’s overall damage output.
The best weapons and essences for Sayha
As a support operator, Sayhi can use a wide range of six-star and five-star weapons to suit her skill set. Unfortunately, there are no suitable four-star weapons for her in Arknights: Endfield. The six-star weapon “Knight’s Virtue” provides the most utility for Sayhi, but there are alternatives.
Arts Module “Knightly Virtue”
- 6 stars
- Will
- Maximum health points
- Treatment: pestilence
Increases the effectiveness of Sayha’s healing, and when her healing is triggered, it gives the entire team a small attack bonus.
Explosion Module Weapon
- 6 stars
- Key indicator
- The power of the arts
- Detonation: A Confident Advance
If Saihi II inflicts Cryo Damage on an enemy, this weapon increases the damage the enemy takes from Arts.
Arts Module “Monaihe”
- 5 stars
- Will
- Increased Super Energy Accumulation Rate (Super Skill Recharge)
- Inspiration
A good five-star option that allows you to use Saiha’s super skill more often, dealing large amounts of cryo and nature damage to enemies.
Arts Module “Free Service”
- 5 stars
- Will
- Healing effectiveness
- Treatment
A great weapon if you want to focus on healing Sayha. It provides multiple buffs and additional healing when her healing ability triggers.
The essence you use on a weapon must include all three types of enhancements associated with that particular weapon.
The Best Gear Sets for Saiha
If you’re aiming for “golden” five-star sets in Arknights: Endfield, Eternal Xyranite is undoubtedly the best choice for Sayha. However, other options are also available early in the game.
Eternal Xiranite Set
The best set for support characters in Arknights: Endfield. Increases the team’s damage when Sayhi activates her ability buff.
Mortovolt Resistance Gear Set
Any items. Early in the game, it helps increase Sayha’s Willpower, which increases the effectiveness of her healing and allows her to keep her operatives alive longer.
Once a five-star set is obtained, it can be upgraded to increase its various bonuses. In addition to the three pieces of the Eternal Xyranite set, the fourth piece can be a piece of other support armor.
The best operatives for Sayhi’s team
- Main team: Saihi, Yvonne, Gilberta and Estella.
- Alternative team: Sayhi, Panikhida, Fluorite and Estella.
Although Sayhi’s ultimate grants Cryo and Nature Susceptibility, she’s still best suited for Cryo DPS teams, as there’s currently no strong Nature damage dealer in the game. Her best team includes Yvonne, Gilberta, and Estella, and is well-suited for clearing both single enemies and multiple opponents with AoE damage.
Since Yvonne is a limited character, not all players will have access to her. In such cases, Requiem is an excellent replacement, as she’s the best nuker in the game. Fluorite helps increase the number of Cryo Strikes required for Requiem.
For both teams, it is recommended to first apply Cryo Bane with Estella and then activate Saiha’s Combo Skill.
Saiha’s Ability Overview and Upgrade Priorities
After activating the “DDoS Attack” combat skill, Saihi creates a support crystal that follows the active operative. When the final hit of her standard basic attack combo is triggered, she heals it and activates her “Stress Test” combo skill, which can inflict Cryo Damage on the enemy.
If the active character is already at maximum health, Sayhi instead grants them buffs to their Arts damage. Her ultimate, “Stack Overflow,” provides a buff to Cryo and Nature damage for the entire team.
The main reason why you should make Saihi the second one when applying Cryo damage is to increase the Cryo damage taken by the enemy for 5 seconds.
When upgrading Sayha’s abilities, it’s recommended to first upgrade her super skill to give herself and her team a greater Cryo damage boost, then her healing skill. Her combo skill and basic attack can be upgraded slightly, but there’s no need to focus on them too much.
