Universal · Flexible
Reaction Sub-DPS
Classic crowd control + off-field Swirl playstyle. Stack Elemental Mastery for Swirl damage. Works with lower investment and most 5★ weapons you already own.

The Daybreak Chronicles
5★ · Venti's Signature Bow
Purpose-built for on-field Anemo DPS. CRIT-heavy stat stick that maximises his Hexerei-buffed Anemo infusion playstyle.

5★ · CRIT Bow
Strong CRIT-based alternative for DPS Venti. Excellent if you already own it from a previous banner.

Stringless for EM/Reaction builds. Favonius for battery-support — generates energy particles for the whole team.
DPS BiS
A Day Carved from Rising Winds

Purpose-built for on-field Anemo DPS Venti post-Hexerei. Maximizes infused Normal Attack damage output.
DPS Alt
Desert Pavilion Chronicle
4pc: +40% Normal ATK DMG · +10% ATK Speed
Excellent alternative. The speed buff synergizes perfectly with Venti's rapid on-field Normal Attack rotation.
Sub-DPS
Viridescent Venerer
4pc: +40% Swirl DMG · −40% Enemy RES
Best-in-slot for Reaction builds. Easy to farm via Strongbox. Skip if a teammate already has VV equipped.
Alt
Emblem of Severed Fate
4pc: Burst DMG scales with ER% bonus
Use when another unit wears VV. Excellent Energy Recharge + Burst DMG synergy for Burst-centric builds.
1
Energy Recharge
Most critical stat — Bursting every rotation is non-negotiable
160–200%
2
CRIT Rate
Aim for 1:2 ratio with CRIT DMG for DPS builds
55–65%
3
CRIT DMG
Maximize for on-field DPS; less critical for Reaction builds
~120%

ATK% — Sands Slot
Swap for EM Sands in multi-target Swirl / Reaction scenarios

Anemo DMG Bonus — Goblet
Exception: use EM Goblet only for pure Reaction builds
Goblet
Energy Recharge Target
160% – 200%
At 160% ER you can Burst every rotation with a battery teammate. Aim for 180–200% when running without one.
1
Elemental Burst — Wind's Grand Ode
Max first. Core of every build — handles grouping, Swirls, Anemo infusion, and energy generation. Level to 10 as top priority.
Max Priority
2
Elemental Skill — Skyward Sonnet
High damage multipliers with solid energy generation. Also shreds Anemo RES on enemies for the whole team's benefit.
Level 8+
3
Normal Attack
Only invest for on-field DPS role. Skip entirely for EM / Reaction Sub-DPS builds — waste of talent materials otherwise.

Hexerei On-Field DPS
Highest personal damage · Hexerei resonance required
Venti (Main DPS)
Fischl or Durin
Bennett
Faruzan
Hexerei resonance (2 members) activates Venti's Anemo infusion post-Burst. Faruzan buffs Anemo DMG and shreds resistance; Bennett provides ATK buff and healing from his Burst zone.
🌩️
Aggravate / Hyperbloom
Reaction Sub-DPS · Flexible & powerful
Venti
Fischl
Raiden / Beidou
Yelan / Kokomi
Venti's frequent Swirls spread Electro and Hydro to all grouped enemies simultaneously. Fischl or Raiden drive Hyperbloom/Aggravate — invest in their EM for maximum Reaction damage output.
❄️
Freeze / Cryo Burst
Classic synergy · High AoE burst damage
Ganyu or Ayaka
Mona / Kokomi
Venti (VV)
Shenhe / Diona
Venti clusters enemies for Ganyu or Ayaka to burst down. Freeze locks smaller enemies in place; Shenhe amplifies Cryo DMG while Venti provides −40% RES shred via Viridescent Venerer.
-
1
Use Skill Tap during combat for faster rotations — reserve Hold Skill for exploration and pulling distant enemies into range.
-
2
Fire Burst first, then apply elements (Hydro / Electro / Cryo) into the vortex. Swirls trigger on all absorbed elements simultaneously.
-
3
Venti's Burst auto-restores 15 Energy at the end of its duration — factor this in when calculating your actual ER requirement.
-
4
Large / boss enemies are immune to Venti's grouping. Bring a single-target DPS or second AoE unit for these encounters.
-
5
For EM Reaction builds, level Venti to 90 — Transformative Reaction damage scales with character level, not Talent level.
-
6
C2 is a significant DPS jump for Hexerei builds — guarantees Anemo RES shred on all enemies caught inside the Burst.
-
7
C6 grants −20% Anemo RES shred team-wide and +100% CRIT DMG taken by Burst enemies — a massive buff, but not required.
⭐ F2P Note: C0 Venti with Elegy for the End + Viridescent Venerer remains one of the strongest support units in the game. You do not need his signature weapon or high constellations to contribute meaningfully in any team.
