Basics of Using Itto (Beginner Guide)

Elemental Burst Reliant Geo DPS

Itto is a Geo DPS that is reliant on his Elemental Burst to enter Raging Oni King state that infuses his Attacks with Geo and increases his Damage. Itto has a rather high Energy cost of 70 which means it's required to use another Geo character to funnel Particles to him.

Relies on Defense for his Damage

▲ Effect of Raging Oni King state showing DEF being used to increase his Attack

Different from usual DPS characters, Itto utilizes his Defense stat to increase his Attack during his Raging Oni King state. His Passive also boosts the damage dealt by his special Charged Attacks with his Defense stat. Building him on Defense can make him rather tanky but it's still recommended to bring interruption resistance supports like Zhongli.

DPS For Mono Geo

Mono-Geo is a team comp that usually has 3 Geo characters with a Flex character for a damage-boosting support. But having only 1 other Geo character aside from Itto can work as well if it's Gorou. This is because Gorou can buff Defense, Geo DMG Bonus and interruption resistance that Itto needs. See below for notable Geo characters that has synergy for a Mono Geo team with Itto:

Character	What Can They Do?
Gorou	Best Support for Itto - Can buff DEF, increased resistance to interruption, and Geo DMG Bonus. - At C6, he is able to also buff the Geo CRIT Damage. - Can hold Favonius Warbow to generate more Energy Particles for Itto. - Requires at least three (3) Geo characters in the teammate to activate all of his buffs.
Zhongli	Shield Support - Can create a powerful shield that prevents any interruptions from enemy attacks. Ｌ This shield also reduces the damage resistance of enemies by 20%. - Elemental Burst's attack can Petrify enemies for Crowd Control but you can skip using his Burst as it's not required for Mono Geo.
Xilonen	Damage Boosting Support & Healer - Can shred the Geo RES of enemies with her Elemental Skill's effect. - Provides powerful healing with her Elemental Burst when she has 2 Source Samplers changed. - Can hold Scroll set for teamwide Elemental DMG Bonus buff and Favonius Sword for Energy Particle generation. - Needs at least two (2) PECH teammates to activate her healing and one (1) for Scroll set's buff.
Chiori	Off-Field Sub-DPS - Provides good Geo Off-Field damage and can benefit from Gorou's DEF buffs. - Enables faster rotations since her field time can be very short with the Tapestry effect that switches her out automatically.
Albedo	Off-Field Sub-DPS - Can create Geo constructs which can synergize with Zhongli and Chiori for increased damage from the team. - Good for a Microwave Mono-Geo team but his Geo constructs can be interrupt rotations by lifting up the character if you accidentally get on top of it.
Kachina	Off-Field Sub-DPS / Scroll set Holder - Can hold Scroll set to buff the team's Elemental DMG. - With C4, she can buff DEF increase with her Elemental Burst.

Roles & Playstyle Of Itto and Its Strengths and Weakness

On-Fielder DPS Itto

Itto's best role is as the On-Fielder DPS for Mono Geo teams. His Elemental Burst allows him to enter Raging Oni King state where he deals increased damage based on his Defense.

Pros and Cons of On-Fielder DPS Itto

Best Build for Arataki Itto

When building Itto as Main DPS, focus on increasing his Defense and CRIT stats. The reason why Defense is used instead of ATK is because his kit uses his Defense stat to boost the damage of his special Charged Attacks and increase his Attack during Raging Oni King state.

Itto Works Best As On-Field Attacker

Weapon	Redhorn Stonethresher
Best Artifact	Husk Of Opulent Dreams x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: DEF% Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
Priority Sub-Stats	CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > Energy Recharge > DEF% > ATK%
Recommended Team

Stat Goals For On-Field Attacker Itto

Husk Of Opulent Dreams is the best artifact set for Main DPS Itto since it massively boosts his Defense and Geo DMG Bonus. For substats, it's best to prioritize Energy Recharge after CRIT stats since it would allow him to use his Elemental Burst more often.

Best Weapon for Arataki Itto

While Itto can use ATK-boosting weapons, they generally provide less damage compared to DEF-boosting weapons. But if the weapons also boost CRIT stats, they can work fine for him.

Premium Weapons for Itto

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Redhorn Stonethresher	Get from Limited Banner - Amazing CRIT DMG Stats. - Increases Defense of the character and buff Normal & Charged Attack based on it. - Signature weapon of Itto.

5th	Serpent Spine	Get from Battle Pass - Great CRIT Rate Stats. - Effect also increases the damage further. - Is on par with 5 star weapons at higher refinements.

Since there are limited options for DEF-boosting Claymores, Itto can use any CRIT stat weapons as alternative. If the weapon can also boost attack, that can work even better.

Free-to-Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Itto

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P	Whiteblind	Forgeable (Craftable) Weapon - Free to Play option. - Provides amazing DEF Buff. - Even the effect works well with Itto.

Best Team Comp Arataki Itto

On-Field Team Comp For Itto

DPS	Support	Sub-DPS	Shield
Arataki Itto	Gorou	Chiori	Zhongli
Details
- Arataki Itto will be the main DPS of the team. - Gorou will boost the DMG of Itto and Chiori by providing additional Geo DMG and defense. - Zhongli provides shields to sustain the party. - Chiori provides additional off-field damage greatly increasing the DMG output of the party..

Even with the release of new Geo supports and sub-DPS characters, Gorou is still the undisputed best support for Itto. Zhongli's Shield for interruption resistance and Chiori for fast rotations allow Itto to deal damage without interruptions and have more field time. Since all of them are Geo, they will have lower Energy Recharge requirements.

Team Rotation of Itto and Combos

Basic Itto Team Rotation

Itto's basic rotations start similarly with other DPS units. Once Raging Oni King state starts, his rotations change to using Normal Attacks and Elemental Skill to obtain stacks then using them with his Charged Attacks.

Optimal Combo For Itto

▲ C1+ Itto combo if starting with 0 stacks.

To fully utilize the duration of Itto's Raging Oni King state, management of Superlative Superstrength stacks is vital since Itto uses it to activate his special Charged Attacks. Itto's stack mechanics allow him to gain stacks before his Raging Oni King state is activated. The following abilities give Itto stacks:

The amount of stacks Itto has before his Raging Oni King state will change the combo he has to use. But as a general rule of thumb, it's best to get 4 stacks for his 1st Charged Attack combo then 5 stacks for the 2nd. His Constellation level will also affect the optimal combo for him.

Constellation 1 Can Alleviate Stack Management Issues

With Constellation 1, Itto gains 2 stacks upon using his Elemental Burst. He will also gain 1 stack every 0.5s for 1.5s. This allows you to use Charged Attacks immediately during Raging Oni King state. But it's still better to get his Signature Weapon instead of C1 since it can greatly increase his damage.

Recommended Rotation for Arataki Itto

Uses Of Elemental Skill

Provides Crowd Control & Energy With Elemental Skill

Arataki Itto's Elemental Skill, Ushi, can taunt enemies making them focus on Ushi rather than you. Upon summoning and hitting opponents with Ushi, it will also release Geo Energy Particles

Gives Superlative Strength

When Ushi is hit by opponents, Itto would gain Superlative strength enabling Itto to deal his powerful charge attack. Once Ushi is destroyed, Itto will gain another stack of Superlative Strength.

Uses Of Elemental Burst

Infuses Geo To Attacks

Arataki Itto changes his weapon to his signature Oni King's Kanabou in battle and infuses his Normal, Charged, and Plunging attacks to Geo DMG.

Elemental Burst Provides Stacks And Buffs

Arataki Itto will gain a 10% ATK SPD Bonus and ATK Boost based on his DEF. Because of this, most of the DMG of Arataki Itto happens when he is at Burst Mode.

What Is Superlative Strength?

▲ You can tell the number of stacks through the Oni aura behind Itto.

Use The Stack Of Superlative Strength At Charge Attacks

When you have a Superlative Strength Stack, the charge attacks of Itto will be a special move dealing more damage and consumes no stamina. It will also end in a devastating Plunge attack.

Should You Pull for Arataki Itto's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Consider Getting Redhorn Stonethresher First

Signature VS Constellations
Redhorn Stonethresher > C2 > C1

Redhorn Stonethresher Is Recommended for Damage

Itto's Signature Weapon is of course going to be his best in slot, especially since it boosts his damage around his defense while simultaneously increasing it as well. It is a way of upgrading his damage outside of optimal combos. However, getting it and how much value you can expect out of it may depend on a few factors. It'll be something worth considering if you are fine losing to the other weapon on the banner, if you do not have Serpent Spine or other claymores that Itto can use, and if you would benefit from the damage boost that Redhorn Stonethresher will provide. The pull value of his Signature Weapon decreases if any of the above does not apply to you.

Unless the claymore character also benefits from Defense, Redhorn Stonethresher isn't going to be as universal as other claymores, such as the Beacon of the Reed Sea, if you have them but it can still be usable as a Crit stat-stick otherwise. Consider your circumstances prior to pulling.

Recommendation if You Have Serpent Spine
C1 > C2 > Redhorn Stonethresher

C1 and C2 Is Recommended for Quality of Life Improvement

Serpent Spine, especially at max refinement, is going to be a good alternative to his Signature Weapon and may be a reason to skip getting Redhorn Stonethresher. In this case, you may find more value in his constellations.

Without going to C6, which is strongest constellation, C1 and C2 will be good stopping points. C1 makes it easier to get Superlative Superstrength stacks for his special Charge Attacks, amounting to a gameplay rotation that feels a little more forgiving since the stacks can be gained passively and after using his Burst. C2 is a decent source of Energy and since Itto does most of his damage within his Burst state, and consistently getting it to full when you need it to is always going to feel nice to have. Both in tandem can result in Itto maintaining his ideal conditions (max stacks with good Burst Uptime) a lot more consistently, which is a decent way of increasing his damage.
