Sucrose is a 4-star Anemo character who wields a Catalyst weapon. She can be played as a support unit that provides the team with Elemental Mastery buffs or as an on-field driver to trigger elemental reactions. Regardless of her role, her playstyle centers around the Elemental Mastery stat. Lore-wise, she is an alchemist residing in Mondstadt and serves as an assistant to Albedo.

Sucrose is an Anemo Support character who is great at buffing Elemental Mastery. Both of her Active Skills are able to provide Crowd Control by gathering enemies but only her Elemental Burst is able to pull enemies from farther away as well. She works well in many reactions teams, notably Melt, Vaporize, and Lunar-Charged due to her EM buff and ability to hold Viridescent Venerer to shred Enemy Resistance.

Best Weapon for Sucrose

Sucrose works the best with an Elemental Mastery boosting weapon. For Premium and F2P, she has plenty of choices for them and the ones with added utility are the best for her.

Premium Weapons for Support Sucrose

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Sacrificial Fragments	Get from All Banners - Skill CD refresh works great with Sucrose's Elemental Skill, allowing her to spam her Skill for Swirl and Crowd Control. - Gives a decent amount of Elemental Mastery for Sucrose.
2nd	Sunny Morning Sleep-In	Get from Limited Banner - Mizuki's Signature Weapon that is only available when her Banner is ongoing. └ Since Mizuki is now a standard character but her weapon is not, it's likely to rerun as part of a Chronicled Wish Banner like Tighnari and Dehya's Signature Weapons. - Gives a lot of EM when Swirl is triggered. Best used with Reaction Driver Sucrose.
3rd	A Thousand Floating Dreams	Get from Limited Banner - Nahida's Signature Weapon that is only available when her Banner is ongoing. - Good stat stick for Elemental Mastery that can provide 40 Elemental Mastery to the team as well.
4th	Starcaller's Watch	Get from Limited Banner - Citlali's Signature Weapon that is only available when her Banner is ongoing. - Good stat stick for Elemental Mastery but Sucrose can't activate the damage buff because she is unable to create shields.
5th	Wandering Evenstar	Get from Limited Banners - Obtainable whenever it becomes available on certain Weapon Banners. - Can give an ATK buff periodically to everyone which is beneficial for the team └ Passive can stack with weapons of similar effect
6th	Favonius Codex	Get from All Banners - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Chance to provide more Energy periodically upon CRIT Hits └ Good battery for other characters in the team
7th	Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers	Get from All Banners - Can provide ATK% buff periodically to the next character that takes the field - Easy to refine & upgrade since it is 3*

Sucrose's best premium weapon is Sacrificial Fragments due to its ability to refresh her Skill CD which works even better if she's Constellation 1. If you don't have it, any EM stat stick or Support weapon can be used on her.

F2P Options for Support Sucrose

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P	Fruit Of Fulfillment	Sumeru Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - Great EM stat stick for F2P and can give Energy Recharge for Burst uptime.
2nd (Forge)	Hakushin Ring	Inazuma Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - Support weapon that's good for boosting Elemental Damage for Electro Reaction teams. - Good for Taser Driver Sucrose.
3rd (Forge)	Mappa Mare	Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - EM stat stick for Sucrose but the Sumeru Craftable is better since the Weapon Effect of Mappa Mare isn't that great for Sucrose.

Fruit of Fulfillment is the best weapon for Sucrose as an Elemental Mastery stat stick that can also give Energy Recharge. Hakushin Ring is her 2nd best F2P weapon for its team support abilities if using certain teams.

All Weapon List

Sucrose Best Artifacts

Sucrose's best Artifact sets are those that can buff her teammates or sets that can increase her Elemental Mastery so she buffs more EM to the team.

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Viridescent Venerer	★★★★★ - Best artifact set for Anemo Supports like Sucrose since it allows her to also shred RES for her teammates.
Instructor	★★★★ ・ - Teamwide EM-boosting set that works great with Sucrose's own teamwide EM buff. - Best to use for Lunar-Charged teams since it needs a lot of EM to reach the max damage increase multiplier for the reaction.
Noblesse Oblige	★★★★ ・ - Support set that Sucrose can use if someone is holding Scroll set or using VV. - Use only if the DPS character scales on ATK.
Gilded Dreams	★★★ ・・ - Best set for boosting Sucrose's own Elemental Mastery so that her EM buff to the team also increases.

Recommended Artifact Stats

	Main: Flat HP Sub: Elemental Mastery / Energy Recharge / ATK% / ATK

Focus on Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge for Sub-Stats

Sucrose prefers a lot of Elemental Mastery for her EM buff and her Burst has the more powerful suction ability in her kit. You can use EM mainstats and aim for EM substats on the Flower and Feather piece while focusing on Energy Recharge on her other Artifact pieces.

Best Team Comp Sucrose

Use Sucrose as Support for EM Buff & Shredder

Support	DPS	Support	Sub-DPS
Sucrose	Neuvillette	Ineffa	Furina
Details
- Sucrose can buff EM for the team and allow Lunar-Charged to do great damage even with Neuvillette and Furina built on HP. - Sucrose can Swirl Electro with her Burst to increase the Elemental Application by having it undergo Elemental Conversion to Electro. - Hydro Swirl gives Draconic Glories stack to Neuvillette.

While the current top Lunar-Charged team isn't a full EM-CRIT team, Sucrose is still the best Anemo support for it due to her Elemental Mastery buff. If she's holding Instructor set, she'll be able to boost it even more on the cost of RES shred if she's not C6.

Other Team Comps for Sucrose

Best Teams For Sucrose

Team Rotation of Sucrose and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for Support Sucrose

Basic Rotation For Sucrose
1. Apply Element that you want to be Swirled using other characters. 2. Switch to Sucrose and use her Elemental Skill or Burst.

Sucrose's team rotation doesn't usually change unless she's used for funneling Energy to another Anemo character. Using her Elemental Skill is often better since her Burst can undergo Elemental Conversion and Re-Apply Elements.

Team Rotation for Reaction Driver Sucrose

Team Rotation For Driver Sucrose
1. Activate Support and Sub-DPS characters' abilities. 2. Switch to Sucrose and use her Elemental Skill(s) and Burst. 3. Use Normal Attacks to trigger Swirls if her Elemental Skill and Burst is on cooldown.

Sucrose's rotation as a driver is an extension of how she's used as Support. The only addition is her Normal Attacks to apply Anemo to trigger Swirl and spread the Element affected.

Basics Of Using Sucrose

Anemo Support for Elemental Reaction Boosting

Sucrose is used as an Anemo Support for Pyro, Electro, Cryo and Hydro characters. Her ability to increase the Elemental Mastery of the team makes her even better as Support if it's a Reaction-reliant team. For Constellations, C1 & C6 are her Best Constellations.

Use Elemental Skill or Burst for Crowd Control

▲ Video shows Sucrose's Burst pulling in enemies and her Skill being able to knock enemies into air.

Both of Sucrose's Active Skills can gather enemies. Her Elemental Burst has a more powerful suction ability since it can also pull in farther enemies. While her Skill has a smaller range in terms of enemies pulled, it works great with Sacrificial Fragments.

Both Passives Can Increase the Elemental Mastery of the Team

Both of Sucrose's Passives allow her to give an Elemental Mastery buff to her teammates. Her first Passive increases the Swirled Element characters' Elemental Mastery by 50 while her second Passive boosts the team's EM based on 20% of Sucrose's EM so you want to build a lot of EM on her.

Summary of Sucrose's Passives for Buffing Elemental Mastery
Catalyst Conversion (First Passive)	- When Sucrose triggers a Swirl reaction, the characters whose Element is the same as the reacting Element (Both Anemo and the Swirled Element) will gain a 50 Elemental Mastery increase for 8s. - Sucrose is excluded from this buff.
Mollis Favonius (Second Passive)	- When Sucrose lands a hit with her Elemental Skill or Burst, all teammates gain an Elemental Mastery increase based on 20% of Sucrose's Elemental Mastery for 8s.

Use Viridescent Venerer for Sucrose's Artifact Set

Artifact Set	Effect
Viridescent Venerer	2-Piece Set Effect: Anemo DMG +15% 4-Piece Set Effect: Increases Swirl DMG +60%. Decreases opponent's Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s

Anemo Supports are reliant on this specific artifact set due to it's ability to shred RES for teammates. While Scroll set can sometimes outperform it due to its stronger multipliers and ability to buff Anemo and Geo Elemental Damage, Viridescent Venerer is still the best set for Anemo Supports.

Should You Farm for Viridescent Venerer Set?

Since the addition of the Mystic Offering system, it's not recommended to farm the domain that drops Viridescent Venerer set. This is because the other set with it is not as good. It's better to recycle useless Artifact pieces from your other domain farming using the Mystic Offering in the Crafting Bench.

How To Use Sucrose?

How To Use?

▼ Anemo Support for Increasing Elemental Mastery for the Team
▼ Two of her Passives can boost the Elemental Mastery of her Teammates
▼ Both Active Skills are for Crowd Control

Anemo Support For Increasing Elemental Mastery For The Team

▲ Sucrose's Elemental Mastery buff shown. Since she only Swirled Hydro in the clip, Furina's EM is increased by 185 while Ororon and Shinobu had a 135 EM increase.

Sucrose is an Anemo Support who can increase the Elemental Mastery of her teammates based on her own Elemental Mastery. The more EM she's built with, the stronger her buff can be. And as an Anemo character, Viridescent Venerer is her Best Artifact set for boosting the team's damage by shredding Resistances for them.

Two Of Her Passives Can Boost The Elemental Mastery Of Her Teammates

Sucrose's first two Passives boost the Elemental Mastery of her teammates. The first boosts based on the Swirled Element and the second boosts whenever her Elemental Skill or Burst hits an opponent.

Both Active Skills Are For Crowd Control

Sucrose's Elemental Skill and Burst are used for grouping up smaller enemies and spreading Elements on them. Her Skill has weaker grouping effect but can have two Charges and be refreshed using Sacrificial Fragments while her Burst can pull enemies farther away. Both Skills are good to use together to ensure all enemies are grouped up.

Should You Pull for Sucrose's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Any Constellation Level Is Nice to Have

Constellation Priority
C1 > C4 or C6

C1 Is a Good Stopping Point

Sucrose's role in a team has always been very flexible, since she can take both an on-field and off-field position. Her constellations offer something for both roles, so they're worth considering regardless of how you typically use her. Notably, her C1 is a good stopping point since it gives her another Skill proc, thereby increasing her Energy gain, total Swirl number and grouping. Beyond that, her C4 is ideal for an on-field Sucrose since her Skill CD decreases for every 7th attack, while her C6 gives Elemental DMG bonus depending on the element Swirled by her Burst, and although it can be a little inconsistent, still has some value in teams that could use it.

Note that Sucrose's constellations aren't necessary to chase if you want her to perform decently in whatever role you want to play her as. She will be perfectly functional at C0 and anything beyond that can be considered a bonus.

Sucrose's Constellations & Effects
