Best Venti Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more

Venti is one of the more powerful Anemo supports in Genshin Impact, and he has been since the game’s launch. Unleash the true power of the Anemo Archon with the best Venti build in Genshin Impact here, with his top artifacts, weapons, and more.

To most, Venti is just a bard who mysteriously came to Mondstadt and started reciting eloquent poetry. However, behind that young facade is a thousand-year-old story of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, who uses Venti as his mortal body.

It’s no wonder he excels at wielding Anemo in Genshin Impact, with Venti being one of the best supports in the game with his great grouping abilities. Here’s how you can maximize your Venti build with the best artifacts, weapons, and more in Genshin Impact.

Venti abilities in Genshin Impact

Normal Attack: Divine Marksmanship

• Normal Attack: Perform up to six consecutive shots with a bow.
• Charged Attack: Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, favorable winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow will deal Anemo DMG.
• Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Honestly, being a ranged support, Venti doesn’t use his attacks much. Charged Attacks can be used to hit weak spots on Ruin Guards, but his Normal Attack only really gets used to animation-cancel his Elemental Skill, Skyward Sonnet, dodging its long cast time.

Elemental Skill: Skyward Sonnet

Venti’s skill, Skyward Sonnet, works in two ways. If you just press it, it’ll summon a Wind Domain at the opponent’s location, dealing Anemo DMG in a decently-sized AoE and launching opponents into the air, making them vulnerable to follow-up combos.

If you hold the ability, though, Venti will act as the epicenter, summoning a bigger domain and lifting himself into the air, too. This is a great dodge tool as well as damage tool and can help enable plunge comps with Diluc or Xiao, for example.

Elemental Burst: Wind’s Grand Ode

Venti’s burst, Wind’s Grand Ode, is the ultimate Swirl ability in Genshin Impact. Firing out an arrow, he creates a huge Stormeye that draws in opponents and does continuous Anemo DMG.

It can also absorb elements like Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro, making it a huge damage tool for grouped enemies against the likes of Mona, Ayaka, or Ganyu.

Venti constellations

• Level 1 ⁠— Splitting Gales: Fires two additional arrows per Aimed Shot, each dealing 33% of the original arrow’s DMG.
• Level 2 ⁠— Breeze of Reminiscence: Skyward Sonnet decreases opponents’ Anemo RES and Physical RES by 12% for 10s. Opponents launched by Skyward Sonnet suffer an additional 12% Anemo RES and Physical RES decrease while airborne.
• Level 3 ⁠— Ode to Thousand Winds: Increases the Level of Wind’s Grand Ode by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
• Level 4 ⁠— Hurricane of Freedom: When Venti picks up an Elemental Orb or Particle, he receives a 25% Anemo DMG Bonus for 10s.
• Level 5 ⁠— Concerto dal Cielo: Increases the Level of Skyward Sonnet by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
• Level 6 ⁠— Storm of Defiance: Targets who take DMG from Wind’s Grand Ode have their Anemo RES decreased by 20%. If an Elemental Absorption occurred, then their RES towards the corresponding Element is also decreased by 20%.

Best Venti artifacts in Genshin Impact

Venti’s build in Genshin Impact is all about one stat ⁠— Elemental Mastery. There are some CRIT-centric Venti builds that work, but they rely heavily on getting good substats that outweigh the damage lost from Elemental Mastery.

Viridescent Venerer as a 4-Piece Set is Venti’s best artifact thanks to the Anemo DMG Bonus as well as the Swirl buff. You could also run with the Emblem of Severed Fate set for more Energy Recharge and increased Elemental Burst DMG.

Stats wise, be sure to look out for Elemental Mastery main stats (of course), but also sub-stats like a decent baseline of Elemental Recharge (aim for around 160% total) along with ATK% and CRIT Rate.

Best Venti weapons in Genshin Impact

Once again, because Venti’s build is about Elemental Mastery, he doesn’t benefit from a whole lot of five-star weapons. Elegy for the End is strong on Venti with the sigils, but a maxed-out The Stringless will outperform it (and it’s a lot easier to get).

Even easier for F2P players is Windblume Ode, which was available during the Invitation of Windblume event. It was practically made for Venti, and if the event ever gets rerun it’ll be a must-grind.

Venti Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials

Being the Anemo Archon himself, Venti does need to spend a fair bit of time grinding in Mondstadt for his Ascension materials.

He doesn’t need to take down Stormterror for his boss materials ⁠— those come from Andrius in Wolvendom for the Tail of Boreas and the Anemo Hypostasis for Hurricane Seeds. Cecilia flowers can be found around Mondstadt, and Slime Condensate is all around Teyvat.

If you want to max out your Venti, here’s how much you’ll have to invest into Talent Level-Ups and Ascensions.

Venti trailer in Genshin Impact

Venti’s trailer, named Skyward Sonnet after his skill, dives into his backstory as a mysterious bard who has come to serenade Mondstadt. It also showcases some of his combos and the insane power of his Elemental Burst when infused with other elements.

Best Venti team comp

Venti is a very flexible Anemo support that can fit into most team comps. We recommend placing him into a party focused on the Freeze Elemental Reaction with teammates such as Ayaka, Diona, and Mona. Alternatively, you can replace Ayaka with Ganyu, Diona with Shenhe, and Mona with Kokomi.

You can also use him on a Hyperbloom team with Nahida, Raiden Shogun, and Kokomi. Raiden Shogun will need an investment in Elemental Mastery, but you can use Fischl instead if you wish to do so.
