Venti's strength lies in his ability to control the battlefield, making him an excellent support in managing groups of enemies and amplifying elemental damage through reactions. He is one of the best Anemo support characters in Genshin Impact, known for his ability to group enemies and facilitate elemental reactions.
Here’s how to best build him:
Suggested Weapons
•The Stringless: Increases Elemental Skill and Burst DMG, which are crucial for Venti's kit. It also boosts his Elemental Mastery, enhancing the damage from Swirl reactions.
•Elegy for the End: Although it's more focused on support through its Energy Recharge and team-wide Elemental Mastery buff, it fits Venti’s role as an enabler for elemental reactions.
•Windblume Ode: Obtainable through an event, this weapon increases ATK after using an Elemental Skill, which aligns well with Venti's need to use his burst frequently.
•Skyward Harp: For players looking for raw power, its high base ATK and CRIT Rate make Venti's damage output significantly higher, though it doesn't synergize as directly with his Swirl capabilities.
Artifacts
•4-piece Viridescent Venerer: This set is tailor-made for Anemo characters like Venti. It increases Anemo DMG and, more importantly, decreases the enemy's Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40%, greatly enhancing reaction damage.
•2-piece Viridescent Venerer + 2-piece Noblesse Oblige: If you want to boost his Burst damage while still benefiting from the Anemo DMG bonus.
Stat Priorities
•Sands: Energy Recharge or ATK% if you have enough ER from substats or weapon.
•Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus.
•Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG for damage, or Elemental Mastery if focusing on Swirl damage.
Substats to Look For
•Energy Recharge (Venti's burst is key, so you want it up often)
•Elemental Mastery (for higher Swirl damage)
•CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG
•ATK%
Talent Priority
•Elemental Burst (Q) - Wind's Grand Ode: This is Venti's most powerful tool, creating a large area where enemies are pulled in and infused with elements for Swirl reactions.
•Elemental Skill (E) - Skyward Sonnet: Useful for crowd control, generating energy, and setting up for his Burst.
•Normal Attack: Not a priority unless you're building him for some reason as a physical DPS, which isn't his optimal role.
Team Composition
•Elemental Reaction Teams: Pair Venti with characters that apply elements quickly (like Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro) to maximize the benefit from his Swirl effect.
•Energy Generation: Characters that can provide energy or reduce the need for high Energy Recharge on Venti can allow for more offensive artifact stats.
•Supportive Role: Venti can also work in teams where his crowd control allows other characters to safely deal damage or set up their abilities.
