Best Venti Build: Weapons, Artifacts & Team Comps

Normal Attack: Divine Marksmanship

Venti attacks up to 6 times with ranged attacks. It can also be aimed and if it is fully charged, it will deal Anemo damage. This ability does not deal as much damage and it is not as useful as the others. Thus, this is the least priority skill to level.

Elemental Skill: Skyward Sonnet

Venti summons wind that will knock up the enemies and deal AoE Anemo damage. Holding this skill will summon the wind on Venti and Venti rides the wind flying higher. This Wind deals more Anemo damage and the radius increases.

Elemental Burst: Wind’s Grand Ode

Venti shoots an arrow that creates a stormeye that gathers enemies in the center and deals Anemo damage. The stormeye can absorb an element and deal damage with the same type of element multiple times. However, this absorption can only happen once.

This Burst cannot pull enemies who are more than 20 levels above Venti nor Elite bosses such as thunder manifestation. However, this skill is what makes Venti extremely useful against multiple enemies since it ensures most of them if not all are damaged. This is why it is the highest priority to level up.

One important thing to note is element priority. If the field encounters multiple elements, it will absorb the element with the highest priority. The priority order is Pyro, Hydro, Electro then Cryo respectively. This is important in setting up comps especially in fighting enemies with infused elements such as hydro abyss heralds. 

Passive: Embrace of Winds

Holding the Elemental Skill creates an air current that can be used for gliding.

2nd Passive: Stormeye

After the Elemental Burst ends, Venti regenerates 15 energy particles, and if an element is absorbed, regenerates 15 energy particles for characters with that element. 

Elegy for the End

Elegy for the end is a wonderful weapon for Venti due to its high energy recharge. Moreover, it increases the most important stat for Venti, which is elemental mastery, by 60-120. Not only that, triggering reactions gathers stacks. Once you reach four stacks, it increases elemental mastery by 100-200 and the attack by 20-40%

Skyward Harp

Skyward harp can be great for Venti since it gives 22.1% crit rate, allowing Venti to crit more and deal more damage. Not only that, this bow gives 20-40% crit damage to boost his damage even further.

The Stringless

Elemental mastery is the best stat to build on Venti especially due to his swirl reaction. This bow provides 165 elemental mastery while increasing the Elemental Skill and Burst’s damage by 24-48%.

Ganyu/Ayaka

Both Ganyu and Ayaka are Cryo damage dealers that can be used for both Freeze and Melt comps. Absorbing the Hydro element from the support, Venti will allow Ganyu and Ayaka to permanently freeze their enemies.

As for the Melt comp, Any Pyro support can deal tons of damage when Venti can absorb their Pyro.

Hu Tao

As the strongest Pyro user, Hu Tao can be paired well with Venti to make her damage on another level. Whether it is in a Melt or Vaporize comp, Hu Tao can benefit greatly from the reapplied element since her Elemental Skill makes her normal attacks deal Pyro damage.

Raiden Shogun

While elemental mastery is the most important, energy recharge is extremely beneficial for Venti. Pairing Raiden Shogun with Venti can be extremely beneficial for both to have better rotations while keeping their damage consistent.

Xiangling

Xiangling can do great with Venti to absorb Pyro by his Elemental Burst.

Not only that, pairing it with Guoba and Xiangling’s Burst will constantly reapply Pyro many times. 

However, it is important to note that Guoba is not pulled by Venti’s Elemental Burst, so you have to position him properly for Pyro to be absorbed.

Bennet

Bennett, being the most versatile support, can work greatly with Venti as well due to his heal, attack buff, and Pyro application. Since he applies Pyro to allies, it’s easier to infuse Pyro in Venti’s swirl to ensure Venti can optimally use his Swirl in the elemental reaction.

Mona

In terms of Hydro application for Venti, Mona can do wonders due to her Elemental Skill and Burst. By placing her taunt in the center, she helps attract and keep enemies within Vent’s field. Meanwhile, her burst can be absorbed easily by Venti’s Elemental Burst to be used by Melt and Vaporize reaction comps.
