Character Analysis
Sakuya Izayoi was released on May 11th, 2021 as part of the starting roster. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
Sakuya Izayoi is the deft Chief Maid who serves Remilia Scarlet, and acts as the head of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Sakuya is in charge of maintaining all the happenings in the Scarlet Devil Mansion as well as supervising other worker's jobs, all while doing her own to the best of her ability. While rather pleasant and polite towards her mistress Remilia Scarlet, she is known to have a quick change of tone towards those she is not so considerate towards. Marisa Kirisame, for example, brings out a rather harsher side to Sakuya that can be noticed at a glance when speaking to one another. Despite being a human and the only human to live in the mansion, Sakuya is also know for being powerhouse. Sakuya has the unique ability to manipulate time. This means slowing down time, speeding it up, "erasing" time, and putting a stop to it all together. On top of all this our skillful maid can also "manipulate space". This translates into making rooms, which originally had space, even more spacious. This can also be used on top of time manipulation, aka "space-time manipulation". This ability has allowed her to accomplish feats such as making another version of her by creating a parallel universe.
When it comes to farming, Sakuya doesn't offer much of anything. Fitting to her lore, Sakuya's main skills in LostWord involve going really, really fast. In LostWord this niche is rather laughable, however, for two reasons. The first reason is that, as far as farming goes, your selected Last Words are going to go first anyway making all that added speed and priority useless in most scenarios. The second is that you're going to want your debuffers to act first, and not Sakuya, which in-optimally makes use of her already lacking damage.
Sakuya's attacks scale between Yin & Yang which severely hurts her overall damage due to her not having just one to focus on, making the previously mentioned "attacking before debuffing" flaw even worse. Sakuya's main use, while not being particularly overwhelming, and other than maybe a bit of extra damage, is her access to Metal element attacks. But even this is lacking as well; having a maximum of two on her first Spell Card, zero on her second, and two more on her Last Word.
Sakuya's position in LostWord is rather poor, not being particularly good at anything in specific, it's hard to find a time where using her is actually the play. And unless you could really use those Metal hits, you're usually better off opting for other units.
Here are the chances for Sakuya’s secondary effects, alongside her Slice scaling (per bullet):

Story Card Recommendations
(Card recommendations last updated on May 12, 2023)
Spell Card
Spirit Power, Yin ATK and even Accuracy to some extent are very much needed if you are bringing Sakuya for damage. Cards like The Witch of Scarlet Dreams and Midnight Tea are important to keep her Spirit Power at a healthy amount. With that covered, do not forget to bring up her Yin ATK. You can do so by using cards like Redder Than Blood and Overwhelming Firepower, and if you want to keep her Yin ATK duration up even longer (and by extension, CRIT ATK), New Year's Shrine Visit VI is the card to go to. If you want to beef up Sakuya's power as much as possible, we have Mysterious Sword Master being the go-to card to bring Sakuya's Slashing Spell Cards' power up by an extra 50%, with a slight Accuracy boost. Finally, if after all of that, you need additional Accuracy, can't go wrong with the team-wide Ability Cards?, and with Sakuya being a Speed-Class unit, she also benefits from granting a team-wide Agility buff. Both Accuracy and Agility to go around for 3 turns!
Last Word
Sakuya now has 3 fantastic choices for her Last Word: Firstly is the ever so trusty Mysterious Sword Master, boasting +50% Slash, +2 Accuracy and a serviceable stat stick in both ATK stats at +75. Second up is The Moon and Izayoi, which also has +50% Slash, which what rivals the former. And third up, but possibly the most powerful one here is Disillusion. With 45% Slash, but 50% in Metal, having 2 Metal bullets gain a 95% boost is enough to catapult this pick above the already wonderful Slashers that came above!
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
With Sakuya, you will want to prioritize her first skill, Time Manipulation first for the 3 Yin ATK up it gives. The added Quick prioritization it provides can also be useless in certain scenarios, but more often than not it doesn't change the result of her outspeeding your units anyway. Next up you should go for Loaded Knife next. This helps get Sakuya that much closer to P3 on her Last Word, which adds the second Metal hit onto the attack (However do note that Sakuya P2 uses Yang as her medium of attack, which goes against what Time Manipulation buffs.). Lastly, Agile Work, doesn't offer much of anything in terms of buffing for Sakuya. She's usually going to be outspeeding your team anyway. and in the even that she does using the added Agility, it isn't a gamechanger.
