Venti Overview

Quality : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐        Weapon : Bow       Element : Anemo

Venti, as Off-Field, Sub-DPS or Support, the Anemo Archon and a 5-star bow wielder. His defining strength lies in his Elemental Burst, Wind’s Grand Ode, which summons a swirling vortex that groups enemies together while dealing continuous Anemo damage. This ability, combined with his capacity to trigger Swirl reactions, makes him a master of crowd control and a key enabler for elemental synergy.

Venti shines in scenarios with multiple enemies, such as Domains, Spiral Abyss floors, and open-world exploration, where his ability to gather foes into one spot simplifies combat for your team.

Pons	Cons
One of the best Crowd Controller in the game High Energy Recharge & low Elemental Burst cost Elemental Skill is great at exploration and with a low cooldown, can easily give energy	Does poorly against heavy / huge opponents Aiming the Elemental Burst takes time to get used to Elemental Burst makes enemies not reachable to several DPS characters

 

Talents Priority

When upgrading Venti’s talents, focus should align with his role as a crowd control and Swirl-focused role. Here’s the recommended priority:

Elemental Burst ＞ Elemental Skill ＞ Normal Attack

Explain:

• Elemental Burst: Wind’s Grand Ode

This is the most core skill of a venti. Level it up first to boost its damage, duration, and energy absorption capabilities. Providing both utility and damage amplification through Swirl reactions.

• Elemental Skill: Skyward Sonnet

This skill offers supplementary Anemo damage and generates Energy Particles to fuel his Burst. It’s also handy for exploration, so don’t neglect it entirely.

• Normal Attack: Divine Marksmanship

Venti’s Normal Attacks are rarely used in practice, as his value lies in his abilities. Level this last—or skip it entirely—if resources are tight.

Venti's Elemental Burst is a defining tool for dealing damage and utility, and should be prioritized accordingly. His Elemental Skill also deals high damage, and leveling it up can be valuable. His Normal Attack will be barely used, so it can be ignored or saved for last.

For a DPS Venti build, Elegy for the End stands out as the top-tier weapon choice. It effortlessly provides a significant Elemental Mastery and ATK buff to the entire team once you accumulate 4 Sigils of Remembrance, even when Venti is off-field. This makes it a powerhouse option for maximizing Venti’s utility while he’s not actively on the field.

Venti's Constellations and Weapon Pull Prioritization

Venti's exclusive weapon: Elegy for the End and his constellations upgrades all give him a definite boost. And for prioritizing which of the two to pull, here's our Pull prioritization tips.

0+0 (No Constellations, No Weapon )

0+1 (No Constellations, prioritize Weapon)

*Venti's weapon boosts his base attack and Elemental Mastery, while also providing the entire team with Elemental Mastery and attack buffs. Even when Venti is off-field, these buffs remain active. Compared to C2, the weapon is more worth investing in.

1+1 （C2, Weapon）

*C4 offers less significant improvements and is less practical than the weapon and C2. If you don't particularly prioritize Venti's personal damage output or aim to collect constellations, C4 is not recommended.

 

Venti’s Team

Premium Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ganyu	Mona	Venti	Diona

This team remains one of Venti's most effective team compositions, even with the introduction of Sumeru.

In this setup, Venti applies Cryo shred and elemental infusion to boost Cryo damage, while Mona provides Hydro for Freeze and increases DPS with her Burst. Ganyu serves as the main DPS, utilizing charged shots when Venti's Burst is active. Additionally, Mona offers healing and extra Cryo application to enhance the team's overall performance

Venti Anemo DPS Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wanderer	Venti	Faruzan	Bennett
Alternate Role Xiao

In Anemo-focused team compositions, Venti thrives as an Anemo DPS rather than a Reaction DPS, as Reaction DPS setups are less effective in these builds.

Bennett and Faruzan are essential supports in these teams, providing critical buffs to both the main DPS and Venti. The Main DPS slot is typically reserved for the main Anemo DPS, with Wanderer and Xiao being the primary options. Wanderer excels in this setup, as Venti’s Vortex allows him to maximize his Burst window while controlling enemies. Xiao can also work but may struggle to hit enemies trapped in Venti’s Vortex depending on positioning.

Venti Freeze Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kamisato	Venti	Shenhe	Sangonomiya
		Alternate Role Citlali

Venti shines in Freeze-focused teams as a Crowd Control specialist, leveraging his Vortex to immobilize enemies alongside the freezing effect, ensuring they can't attack. However, it's crucial that your Cryo DPS has the ability to strike airborne foes to maximize the team's effectiveness.

F2P Tram

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ayato	Venti	Fischl	Bennett

Venti excels in team comps that utilize multiple unique elements to create powerful Elemental Reactions like Electro-Charged and Vaporize. Characters such as Ayato are particularly effective in these setups, as they can provide wide AoE coverage to multiple enemies at once, leveraging his abilities to trigger reactions and deal damage efficiently, maximizing the impact of Venti's Elemental Burst.

 

Conclusion

Venti's versatility in both Reaction DPS and Anemo DPS roles makes him a almost must-have for any Genshin Impact player. Whether it's Talents Priority, the choice of Weapons and Artifacts, or the choice of Venti's Team, this guide has prepared you for everything!
