Everything about Venti in Genshin Impact: Builds, Artifacts, Weapons, Abilities, and How to Get

In Genshin Impact, there are a multitude of characters, each wielding different weapons and abilities. Venti is an excellent addition to the team, capable of taking on the role of a support hero or dealing significant damage. The wandering bard offers a variety of gameplay strategies. This guide will detail who Venti is, how you can obtain him, and provide examples of builds that maximize the potential of this five-star character.

Given that Venti is a five-star character, he is an extremely rare reward. You need to use the time-limited Ballad in Goblets prayer. The chances of getting the character are a meager 0.6 percent.

But thanks to the Genshin Impact 1.4 update, you will have a chance to get him until April 6th. His drop rate is increased, so now is the time to add him to your team.

As a support character with long-range attack, Venti is best kept at the maximum possible distance, dealing damage. And since he is Anemo, his skills complement this approach. Skyward Sonnet can detain enemies, helping to maintain distance from opponents. Venti can soar into the air and glide to a safe location to escape. Wind's Grand Ode is the perfect combination of crowd control and dealing continuous damage.

Venti is better suited for a support role. His skills are more oriented towards allowing characters with high damage to deal additional damage. However, Venti also has the ability to deal significant damage himself, so we've also included a great damage build.

Divine Marksmanship

Skyward Sonnet

Wind's Grand Ode

Releasing an arrow made of countless winds, summons a huge storm eye that pulls in enemies, continuously dealing Anemo damage to them.

Thanks to this Anemo-based build, Venti's energy recharge capability is significantly increased, minimizing the cooldown of his elemental burst skill, Wind's Grand Ode. You will create numerous storms that can be enhanced by other elements, thus tearing apart all enemies inside the storm.

Weapon

The Stringless: Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48%.

Favonius Warbow: Critical hits have a 60%/70%/80%/90%/100% chance to generate an elemental particle, which regenerates 6 energy. Occurs once every 12/10.5/9/7.5/6 seconds.

Artifacts

The Exile: 2-piece set: increases Energy Recharge by 20%. 4-piece set: using an Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for other party members (but not the character using it) every 2 seconds for 6 seconds. This effect cannot stack.

Viridescent Venerer: 2-piece set: increases Anemo DMG Bonus by 15%. 4-piece set: increases Swirl DMG by 60%. When Swirl reacts with another element, it also decreases the enemy's resistance to that corresponding element by 40% for 10 seconds.

This build reduces skill cooldowns while simultaneously improving energy recharge and helping to spam attacks as often as possible.

With the right items, Venti can shoot charged arrows that deal high damage. Using this build, you will need to be particularly good at hitting enemies' weak spots with charged shots, as the choice of weapon suggests this tactic.

Weapon

Compound Bow: Normal and Charged Attacks increase ATK by 4% / 5% / 6% / 7% / 8% and ATK SPD by 1.2% / 1.5% / 1.8% / 2.1% / 2.4% for 6 seconds. The effect can stack up to 4 times. Can occur once every 0.3 seconds.

Sharpshooter's Oath: Increases DMG against enemies' weak spots by 24% / 30% / 36% / 42% / 48%.

Artifacts

Wanderer's Troupe: 2-piece set: increases Elemental Mastery by 80. 4-piece set: increases Charged Attack DMG by 35% if the character uses a Catalyst or a Bow.

Using fully charged shots to take down targets one by one from a distance, this build becomes significantly stronger when you unlock Venti's first constellation star. It also makes the character more versatile at close range.

Weapon

The Stringless: increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 24% / 30% / 36% / 42% / 48%.

Royal Bow: Hitting an enemy increases CRIT Rate by 8%. The effect can stack up to 5 times. The increased CRIT Rate is removed upon scoring a CRIT Hit.

Artifacts

Viridescent Venerer: 2-piece set: increases Anemo DMG Bonus by 15%. 4-piece set: increases Swirl DMG by 60%. When Swirl reacts with another element, it also decreases the enemy's resistance to that corresponding element by 40% for 10 seconds.

Berserker: 2-piece set: increases CRIT Rate by 12%.

Gladiator's Finale: 2-piece set: increases ATK by 18%.

Depending on the chosen weapon and artifacts, this build for Venti retains some supportive abilities while providing a decent boost to damage output and critical hit rate.
