Kujou Sara uses Crowfeather Cover and Tengu Juurai to deal Electro damage and grant an ATK bonus to the active character in the effect area. Consider her when you can use a fully charged bow shot to place the Crowfeather and capitalize on its short buff window; her burst can also apply the same buff through multiple area hits.

Restoring party Energy through hits from Tengu Juurai: Ambush
Skill, Crowfeathers, and buff conditions
Tengu Stormcall makes Sara retreat and grants Crowfeather Cover for 18 seconds. While covered, a fully charged aimed shot consumes the cover and leaves a Crowfeather at the target location. After a short delay, it triggers Tengu Juurai: Ambush, which deals Electro damage and grants the active character within its area an ATK bonus based on Sara's Base ATK. The level-one skill cooldown is 10 seconds and the bonus lasts 6 seconds. Different Tengu Juurai bonuses do not stack; the last one to take effect determines the bonus and duration.
Burst and team Energy
Subjugation: Koukou Sendou deals AoE Electro damage with Titanbreaker, then spreads into four Stormcluster hits. Either hit type can provide the same ATK bonus as the skill, subject to the non-stacking rule. The burst has an 80 Energy cost and 20-second cooldown at the listed talent level. When Ambush hits opponents, Sara restores Energy to all party members based on her Energy Recharge: 1.2 Energy for every 100% Energy Recharge, once every 3 seconds. This is a conditional source of team Energy rather than an effect of every hit from the burst.
Handling and investment
The buff setup asks for an aimed shot, but Immovable Will reduces aimed-shot charge time by 60% while Crowfeather Cover is active. If using Sara mainly to buff, the skill and burst are the relevant combat talents to consider; raise the normal attack when its bow attacks are part of your intended damage. This is conditional investment guidance. Each combat talent can be raised through level 10; the supplied level 9-to-10 example costs 700,000 Mora, talent materials, an Ashen Heart, and a Crown of Insight. Sara's expedition passive reduces dispatch time in Inazuma by 25%.
Limits and alternatives
The ATK buff is limited to the active character inside a Tengu Juurai area, lasts six seconds at the listed level, and cannot be extended by stacking overlapping Tengu Juurai bonuses. Ororon and Fischl share Sara's Electro and bow tags, while Sethos is also an Electro bow character; those facts alone do not show that they provide her same ATK-buff function.
Limitations and tradeoffs
The skill buff requires a fully charged aimed shot and positioning the Crowfeather effect where the active character can benefit.
The burst costs 80 Energy; its hits can provide the buff but do not make separate Tengu Juurai bonuses stack.
Buff duration is short at the listed talent level.
Common mistakes to avoid
Assuming repeated Tengu Juurai effects stack their ATK bonuses; the last one to take effect controls the buff.
Firing a fully charged shot without Crowfeather Cover and expecting it to place a Crowfeather.
Treating the Energy passive as triggering on every hit; Ambush hits trigger it at most once every 3 seconds.

Retreats rapidly with the speed of a tengu, summoning the protection of the Crowfeather. Gains Crowfeather Cover for 18s, and when Kujou Sara fires a fully-charged Aimed Shot, Crowfeather Cover will be consumed, and will leave a Crowfeather at the target location.
