Weaknesses
• Elemental Burst is not good against heavier enemies or single-target bosses.

Venti Best Builds

Venti's Two Build Paths

Venti's best asset is his Elemental Burst, and improving either its Swirl or CRIT damage is crucial to his build choices.

Venti's DPS and Support builds use Viridescent Venerer as his best artifact, so it's up to your current available weapons and artifact stats should you wish to use him with a specific build.

Elemental Mastery Swirl

Best Weapon	Elegy for the End
Replacement Weapons	1. The Stringless 2. Fading Twilight 3. Favonius Warbow
Best Artifacts	Viridescent Venerer x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: Elemental Mastery
	Goblet: Elemental Mastery
	Circlet: Elemental Mastery
Artifact Sub Stats	Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, ATK%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG
Sample Teams	Freeze: Hyperbloom:

This sub-DPS build for Venti focuses on stacking as much Elemental Mastery as possible for his Elemental Absorption damage. Using Elemental Mastery offers the best damage against multiple enemies.

Crit Burst DPS

Best Weapon	Aqua Simulacra
Replacement Weapons	1. Elegy for the End 2. Skyward Harp 3. The Stringless
Best Artifacts	Viridescent Venerer x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge
Sample Teams	Freeze: Hyperbloom:

You may use a CRIT build if you cannot find Elemental Mastery main stat artifacts yet. It still offers good damage and may compete with the Elemental Mastery build with enough investment.

Venti's Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill	Normal Attack

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.

Venti Best Team Comp

Venti Freeze Teams

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Support	Support
Venti	Ayaka	Diona	Mona
Venti	Ganyu	Shenhe	Kokomi

Venti is a staple for different Freeze comps thanks to his ability to absorb and Swirl Cryo while enemies are applied with Hydro.

Venti Hyperbloom Teams

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Support	Support
Nahida	Raiden	Venti	Kokomi
Xingqiu	Fischl	Venti	Collei

While this team does not have a set DPS, the Hyperbloom team can pull off significant instances of damage.

Just be sure to have investment in Elemental Mastery for Fischl or Raiden, as they are the designated drivers for Hyperbloom.

Venti Rainbow Teams

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

Team comps consisting of multiple unique elements to create concoctions of Elemental Reactions like Electro-Charged + Vaporize are good with Venti's Elemental Burst. Characters like Ayato or Layla can provide wide AoE coverage to multiple enemies at once.

Venti Best Constellations

Carmen Dei

Constellation and Effects

	Venti's Constellations
C1	Splitting Gales Fires 2 additional arrows per Aimed Shot, each dealing 33% of the original arrow's DMG.
C2	Breeze of Reminiscence Skyward Sonnet decreases enemy Anemo RES by 12% for 10s. Enemies launched by Skyward Sonnet suffer an additional 12% Anemo RES and Physical RES decrease while airborne.
C3	Ode to Thousand Winds Increases the Level of Wind's Grand Ode by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Hurricane of Freedom When Venti picks up an Elemental Orb or Particle, he receives a 25% Anemo DMG Bonus for 10s.
C5	Concerto dal Cielo Increases the Level of Skyward Sonnet by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	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 Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C2	★★☆	• Enemies launched by Elemental Skill have reduced Anemo RES while floating. • If Elemental Burst is used before they touch the ground, the Anemo RES reduction will stay throughout the Burst duration.
C6	★★★	• Huge DMG increase for Venti and the Party when Elemental Absorption is triggered during Elemental Burst.

More Constellations Aren't Needed

Constellations for Venti mostly increase his own DPS until C6. If crowd control and Elemental Absorption are all you need, then leaving him at C0 is perfectly viable.

Venti Talents and How to Use

Best Against Mobs

Elemental Talents Best Against Mobs

Venti shines best against mobs like the Treasure Hoarders, the Fatui, Nobushi, and Hilichurls. He can use Skyward Sonnet or Wind's Grand Ode to gather them together in a single area!

Normal Attack

Normal Attack: Divine Marksmanship
Perform up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow. Charge Attack Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, favorable winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow with deal Anemo DMG. Plunge Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE upon impact.

Elemental Skill

Skyward Sonnet

O wind upon which all hymns and songs fly, bear these earth-walkers up into the sky! Hold Attack: Summons an even larger Wind Domain with Venti as the epicenter, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and launching affected enemies into the air. After unleashing the Hold version of this ability, Venti rides the wind into the air. Enemies hit by Skyward Sonnet will fall to the ground slowly. Tap Summons a Wind Domain at the enemy's location, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and launching enemies into the air. Flavor Text: In the days when gods and men walked the earth together, the heavens were filled with countless songs. This melody has long since been forgotten.

Skyward Sonnet Is Great for Exploration and Dodging

Elemental Skill: Skyward Sonnet

Venti's Elemental Skill, Skyward Sonnet, can be used to create air currents for exploration. Players in search of treasure chests and oculi can take advantage of this skill to reach high places that would otherwise be difficult to reach.

It can also be used to dodge enemies while also gathering them together. You can plunge down on them to deal extra damage!

Elemental Burst

Wind's Grand Ode

Fires off an arrow made of countless coalesced winds, creating a huge Stormeye that sucks in objects and enemies along its path, dealing continuous Anemo DMG. Elemental Absorption: If the Stormeye comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro elements, it will deal additional DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. Flavor Text: Many hymns written in praise of the Anemo Archon have been lost to time. This one sings of his mastery over the wind.

Use Elemental Burst to Chain Elemental Reactions

Elemental Burst: Wind's Grand Ode

Venti's Elemental Burst, Wind's Grand Ode, creates a vortex that sucks in all surrounding enemies within range. The vortex deals massive damage and absorbs Cryo, Hydro, Electro, and Pyro Elements, dealing additional damage to enemies trapped inside.

Enemies with elemental auras, like slimes, will immediately imbue their element into the vortex and will be immune to the additional elemental damage. Triggering elemental reactions in the vortex is the best way to deal with pesky elemental auras.

Passive Talent 1

Embrace of Winds
Holding Skyward Sonnet creates and upcurrent that lasts for 20s.

Passive Talent 2

Stormeye
Regenerates 15 Energy for Venti after the effects of Wind's Grand Ode end. If an Elemental Absorption occurred, this also restores 15 Energy to all characters of that corresponding element in the party.

Passive Talent Provides Energy

Passive Talent: Stormeye

The Passive Talent, Stormeye, regenerates 15 Energy for Venti and an additional 15 Energy to the character whose element gets absorbed by Venti's Elemental Burst.

Passive Talent 3

Windrider
Decreases gliding Stamina Consumption of your characters in the party by 20%. Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

Passive Talent Makes Gliding a Breeze

Passive Talent: Windrider

Venti's Passive Talent, Windrider, reduces the gliding stamina consumption of all party members by 20%. This allows for easy gliding throughout Teyvat, especially in mountainous Liyue.

Thoughts About Venti

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Barbara	Venti's voice is amazing! But the songs he sings and the ones I'm good at are very different. I tried to learn them but... the melodies are just so complicated.
Diona	Venti? I'm not familiar with him... He's a bard? Oh, he must be that guy who sings tunes to entertain the drunkards. Well, then I don't like him, no no no...
Eula	I heard that bard sing a few songs about the Lawrence Clan... They were lighthearted and funny stories that mocked the clan in a way I've never heard anyone else do. Even I couldn't help but burst out laughing... And for this, he must pay!
Keqing	About the Anemo Archon Since Rex Lapis left us, the question of Liyue's future has been on my mind constantly. In addition to reviewing his own past deeds, I've been researching the other archons' modes of governance, too. Mondstadt's god is the one who baffles me the most though — how exactly do any of his actions contribute to the longevity of Mondstadt? It's completely beyond me.
Mona	Venti? The bard that sits around doing nothing all day? What's so interesting about him? Sure, I guess I can take a look... Huh, that's weird, the scryglass, it's... I can't see a thing... this wind... i can't... open my eyes! No, my hat! Ah! My clothes, stop! The wind's going to strip all my clothes off! Make it stop, make it stop! ... Alright! I'll never do this again!
Neuvillette	About Anemo Archon I shall fulfill my vow to judge all of The Seven in turn, even if the sky should fall and the ground give way. As the recipient of the Authority of Anemo, the God of Breeze and Hope must also stand trial....Hmm? He spends most of his time being a harmless drunkard? Well, even so, I must meet him for myself and proceed from there.
Razor	Razor doesn't know poems, but... Lupical likes them.
Rosaria	There's something extremely interesting about this bard... I can't quite put my finger on it. There's something that makes him different from the others in Mondstadt.
Xiao	Venti? So that's the name he goes by. His tunes are... forget it.
Zhongli	sniff' Tsk... It reeks of wine. That bard has just been through here, hasn't he? That drunkard is a disgrace to the arts. Oh... Has he tricked you into getting drunk? You're slurring a little. Wait a moment, I'll brew a pot of sobering tea. It'll be ready in only six hours, so just wait a moment.

Venti's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Albedo	About Albedo How do you explain white chalk in black soil, or the earth's dense crust amidst the emptiness of space? Same reason the purest soil gave birth to human life... It's an ancient power with unmistakable properties. Trying to harness it is dangerous indeed, I can't imagine what would happen if someone lost control of it in the city... Ah, never mind! What goes on within Mondstadt's walls is up to Mondstadt's people to deal with!
Barbara	About Barbara The darling Deaconess with the sweet singing voice — do you know her? You do? Idol, huh? Meet and greets? Concerts? Wow... That's the power of music for you...
Diluc	About Diluc I'm not surprised you want to befriend Master Diluc. Just think of all the vintage wine he must have stored away... Mwuhahaha... Huh? He doesn't let you sample it? Not even the slightest drop? Huh... Well, I guess you can still appreciate the aroma. That's still better than no wine at all, right? No?
Diona	About Diona There's a special drink known far and wide at Cat's Tail. But it ah... ahh... ACHOO! 'sniffs' How about you go and fetch one for me? I'll be truly thankful, I promise.
Eula	About Eula Eula has good taste when it comes to beverages of the alcoholic variety. Come summer or winter, she always likes them ice-cold. That's rare among Mondstadters these days! She and I would make great drinking buddies. Huh? My songs about the Lawrence clan… She's heard them already? Eh, no harm done. Maybe she and I can do a duet sometime!
Jean	About Jean Acting Grand Master Jean... Well, what do you think of her? Yes, I couldn't agree more: conscientious, courageous... kind and considerate too. Reminds me of another good friend...
Mona	About Mona Oh, that astrologer? How should I put it? Fortune-telling and my singing are the same: Both lead to you being so poor you can't even cough up the money for a drink! ... You think that astrology is a cultural tradition, so at least still has some value? Hmph, so rude. In that case, so too is singing, so it still has its value too!
Nahida	About Buer The first thing you think of when you hear "Dendro Archon" is her power over dreams. Her dreams are akin to my ballads: full of emotion and imagination. It goes without saying that we get along really well.
Raiden	About Baal So, I hear you defeated the mighty Raiden Shogun? Ah, I recall the days when she was a kagemusha, seeking to perfect her martial prowess. Hehe, she now no doubt employs a wide range of reasoning to get you to train with her. Oh but yes, come close and I shall let you in on her weakness – desserts!
Razor	About Razor Ah yes, the white-haired fellow from Wolvendom? Raised by wolves? Really? ... No wonder his scent is so familiar...
Zhongli	About Morax Have you seen that gentleman around? Huh? He's just a normal man by the name of Zhongli now? That must be quite the change for that old block-head. Come with me to see him, will you? I have a vintage I dug up from Windrise that I can take as a condolence gift. Oh, ahh... did he still seem strong when you saw him? How strong? Am I likely to get blown away?
