Venti, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, is one of the powerful metas in Genshin Impact. With exceptional bow abilities, Venti is a great asset to have on the team and is proficient in crowd control with his swirl damage. With recent updates, it is important to learn about the most effective ways to build and utilize Venti.
Venti’s Strengths and Weaknesses
Venti is unparalleled when it comes to crowd-control abilities; his elemental burst, Winds’s Grand Ode, works perfectly against various opponents. The Grand Ode creates a giant vortex that sucks in the enimines and delivers anemo damage. This particular skill works well with other team characters and enhances their abilities, which results in greater overall damage to the enemy’s team. Venti’s high energy recharge also allows for frequent bursts of energy, maintaining control over the battlefield.
Venti is all-powerful, but there are some limitations that one needs to understand. Against heavy enemies and bosses immune to his crowd control, the effectiveness of his attacks diminishes considerably. In single-target scenarios, players would benefit more from other Anemo supports, such as Kazuha. Furthermore, Venti’s elemental burst can lift enemies so much that they fall on the radar of melee characters, meaning that using this more requires careful positioning and timing.
Best Weapons for Venti
Venti’s top choice for weapon is the 5-star bow Elegy for the End. This weapon not only boosts Venti’s personal damage but also boosts the team’s abilities. If you do not have access to 5-star options, then Stringless Servers is an excellent 4-star alternative, this also boosts Venti’s Elemental Mastery and skill damage.
Some other options include the Favonius Warbow for increased energy, ensuring Venti can use his bursts frequently. The Windblume Ode also performs well, best for free-to-play players.
Best Artifacts for Venti
The Viridescent Vermer 4-piece still is the best choice for an artifact. This one amplifies the Anemo damage by 15% and Swirl damage by 60%. Additionally, it decreases the enemy’s Elemental Resistance to the element infused in the Swirl reaction. These effects synergize perfectly with Venti’s Kit, which results in maximizing his damage output and support capabilities.
For main stats, prioritize Elemental Mastery on Sands, Goblet, and Circlet for a Swirl-focused build. Alternatively, for a more traditional DPS build, opt for Anemo Damage% on the Goblet and Crit Rate/Damage on the Circlet. Substats should focus on Energy Recharge (aim for around 160-180%), Elemental Mastery, ATK%, and Crit Rate/Damage.
Best Team Compositions for Venti
The Morgana composition from the Freeze teams is where Venti’s is at its best. Popular variation includes Venti, Ganyu, Citlali or Shenhe, and Sangonomiya Kokomi. This team uses Venti’s abilities to group enemies, allowing Ganyu’s AoE cryo damage to destroy frozen targets.
The electro-charged team takes the second spot when it comes to using Venti’s abilities to their full potential. They pair him with Yelan or Xingqiu from the Hydro application. Fischl or Beidou for Electro and an Anemo support like Kazuha create a great combination. This composition helps in dealing with elemental damage while maintaining crowd control
If you’re a Pyro team lover, then Venti works well alongside Kazuha, Bennett, and a main Pyro DPS Yoimiya or any of the newly released Pyro Archon Mavuika. This team properly utilizes Venti’s Swirl reactions to amplify the Pyro damage and create devastating elemental combos.
Talent Priority and Playstyle Tips
When leveling Venti’s talents, one should prioritize his Elemental Burst (Wind’s Grand Ode) first, then follow it with his elemental skill (Skyward Sonnet) and also their Normal attack. Venti’s playstyle is composed of quick swaps using his skills to generate energy and his burst to set up reactions for team members.
To maximize Venti’s effectiveness, cast his Burst, which can absorb the desired element to swirl reactions.
To maximize Venti’s effectiveness, aim to cast his Burst where it can absorb the desired element for Swirl reactions. Remember that the element absorbed is determined by priority (Pyro > Hydro > Electro > Cryo), and the element is present when the Burst is cast.
How to use Venti effectively in battle:
To unleash Venti’s full potential, start by encountering his elemental skill to gather energy and group lighter enemies. Follow up immediately with his Elemental Burst to create a vortex, then switch to main DPS to capitalize on the grouped enemies.
This rotation allows for maximum damage output and efficient clear times. While exploring, venti’s hold Elemental Skill creates an updraft that is useful for reaching higher areas without consuming stamina. This utility makes him invaluable for both combat and open-world transversal.
How to Farm for Venti (Materials & Resources)
If you want to ascent Venti, you will need to farm Cecilia flowers, which are exclusively found in Mondstadt. You will also need to protect Smile Condensate and its higher-tier variants from Slime enemies. Furthermore, for talent materials, focus on gathering teachings of Ballad from the Forsaken Rift domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
