Genshin Impact Venti build: Best weapons, artifacts, and teams

VENTI was the first playable archon in Genshin Impact, and he’s even better today than when he was introduced.

He’s a powerful sub-DPS character who can use his abilities to gather enemies together for devastating combos.

As a five-star character, he can be quite difficult to pick up, but if you have him you might want him on your team.

Here’s how best to equip Venti in Genshin Impact.

Venti has a strong energy recharge, and his abilities don’t spend a lot of power, which are great traits to have.

The five-star bow Elegy for The End is perfect as it increases energy recharge and elemental mastery, which will boost his swirl damage.

It also creates boosting effects for anyone on the field, increasing their damage output.

Alternative weapons for Venti are:

Best artifacts for Venti in Genshin Impact

Much like other Anemo characters, a set of Viridescent Venerer is the best choice for Venti.

It increases Anemo damage by 15%, and swirl damage by 60%, as well as reducing enemies’ elemental resistances when they are caught in the swirl.

This will set the scene for some devastating combos from your Main DPS.

Pay attention to the following distribution of attributes:

• Plume: Attack (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Attack %, Energy Recharge, Critical Damage (sub stats).
• Flower: HP (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Attack %, Energy Recharge, Critical Damage (sub stats).
• Sands: Elemental Mastery (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Damage, Energy Recharge, Attack % (sub stats).
• Goblet: Elemental Mastery (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Damage, Energy Recharge, Attack % (sub stats).
• Circlet: Elemental Mastery (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Damage, Energy Recharge, Attack % (sub stats).

Best teams for Venti in Genshin Impact

Venti slots in well to a number of team compositions, with his only weakness being heavy enemies that aren’t lifted by his skills.

The first example of a strong team composition with Venti is a Freeze team:

• Ayaka (Main DPS), Shenhe (Sub DPS), Venti (Sub DPS), Kokomi (Support).

Shenhe improves Ayaka’s damage and contributes Cryo resonance to this team, while Kokomi heals the squad.

Kokomi’s Hydro powers also allow Ayaka to freeze enemies, which opens up for Venti to come in with his elemental burst.

• Ayato (Main DPS), Fischl (Sub DPS), Venti (Sub DPS), Bennett (Support).

This team uses Electro and Pyro effects, which work well with Venti’s swirls.

• Yoimiya (Main DPS), Xingqiu (Sub DPS), Venti (Sub DPS), Bennett (Support).

Yoimiya works well with Venti, as she can reach targets that have been lifted by Venti. Combined with Xingqiu’s support for standard attacks, this team is quite strong.

• Xiao (Main DPS), Venti (Sub DPS), Zhongli (Support), Bennett (Support).
