Venti Best Weapon
Best Weapon For Venti Depends On Team Comp
For teams that has swirl-able elements (Pyro / Cryo / Hydro / Electro) it is recommended to focus on Swirl for higher overall DMG while for non swirl-able elements, focusing on increasing raw Anemo DMG is recommended. For weapon comparison, rankings and F2P option, see the list below:
Swirl Support Build
| Weapon | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| Best | Elegy for the End | Energy Recharge 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - Higher Burst uptime with ER sub-stat - Provides EM with weapon skill even if Venti is off-field |
| 2nd | The Stringless | Elemental Mastery 165 (Lvl. 90) - EM Main Stat will highly benefit Swirl - Increased DMG for Skill & Burst with weapon skill |
| 3rd (F2P) | End Of The Line | Energy Recharge 45.9% (Lvl. 90) - Free to play option - Increased Burst uptime with Energy Recharge |
Prioritize EM or ER for Burst & Swirl
This build does not require building CR or CD since your main goal is to increase the damage of Swirl. Elemental Mastery should be your main priority, but with the lack of a 5-star EM weapon, Energy Recharge main stat weapons will also work!
Anemo DPS Focused
| Weapon | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| Best | Skyward Harp | CRIT Rate 22.1% (Lvl. 90) - High base ATK and Crit Rate sub-stat - Gives additional Crit DMG through weapon skill making building CR/CD easier |
| 2nd | Polar Star | CRIT Rate 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - Crit Rate main stat makes building CR/CD easier - Increases damage for Elemental Skill & Burst |
| 3rd | Mouun's Moon | ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Weapon skill easily increases Burst DMG - ATK main stat will increase damage |
Build CR/CD For Damage
The point of this build is to increase the damage of Venti's Anemo. Since you do not need Swirl, you can solely focus on CR/CD and ATK for this build.

Venti Skill Guide & How To Use Venti
Recommended Rotation For Venti
| Recommended Rotation | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Venti's Elemental Skill to gather energy and swirl enemies |
| 2 | Use Elemental Burst to gather enemies |
| 3 | Switch to your main DPS and continue damaging enemies |
| 4 | Repeat Step 1 |
Uses Of Venti's Elemental Skill
Tap Skill Is Mostly For Gathering Energy
The tap skill is a quick way to deal damage and knock back a few enemies. Since it's on a short cooldown, you can use this to quickly gather energy for Venti.
Hold Skill Allows You To Create Wind Current
Venti's Hold skill creates a Wind Current that you can use for exploration. During Battle, it can be used to bring a character up to deal Plunge Attacks, but it's not really recommended for that kind of use.
Venti's Elemental Burst
Gathers Light Enemies In One Location
Venti's most prominent ability is his Burst, being able to gather lightweight enemies in a single spot and dealing Anemo & Swirl damage during its duration. The vortex is pretty strong and can pull enemies a distance away from it.
Infuse Element For Additional Damage
Venti's Burst will pick up an Element applied from the enemies it gathers to create an Elemental Infusion. It will continuously apply this element to those around it and deal Swirl as well.
Cannot Pick Up Heavier Enemies
The biggest limitation to Venti's Burst is that he is unable to pick up heavy enemies or bosses. This makes the Burst a bit useless during such scenarios. Although, you can still apply Anemo, Swirl, and shred with it.
Should You Pull for Venti's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Elegy is an Okay Pick-Up
| Signature VS Constellation |
|---|
| Elegy for the End > C2 > C1 |
Elegy can be useful in Hu Tao Vape teams and will generally work as intended for a Supportive weapon, though nowadays it is outclassed by other Support weapons. Venti constellations do not drastically change his performance and is not as powerful compared to other constellations. Both will still provide value that is relevant to their specialty as a supportive unit or weapon, so if you would like to pull for both regardless, then you can still make them work.
Venti Without Constellations is Okay
Venti is not a character that becomes dramatically stronger with his Cons so he can be used even without them. If you do want to make him a DPS character, C2, C4, & C6 are recommended.
Venti's Constellations & Effects
| Rating | Constellation Effect |
|---|---|
| ★・・・・ | C1: Splitting Gales Fires 2 additional arrows per Aimed Shot, each dealing 33% of the original arrow's DMG |

Who Is Venti?
Mondstadt's Infamous Drunk Bard
Venti is infamous in Mondstadt as the wine-loving bard. Although known as being carefree, Venti is actually well-liked by the citizens for his music regardless of his antics.
Actually Barbatos, The Anemo Archon
However, behind this facade, Venti is actually the Anemo Archon living with his people in disguise. He speaks with wisdom and guides the people through his deacons from the Church of Favonius.
He Is The Original Anemo Archon
Unlike the other Archons that the Traveler meets, Venti is one of the remaining original members of The Seven. He was once just a Wind Spirit that became the Anemo Archon with the death of Decarabian.
