What's the best Genshin Impact Sucrose build?
Sucrose is a four-star anemo catalyst wielder. She's a powerful elemental reaction driver and her elemental skill and burst are great for crowd control in large groups of enemies.
Here's a brief overview of our best Genshin Impact Sucrose build:
| Rarity | ★★★★ |
| Element | Anemo |
| Weapon | Catalyst |
| Best weapon | Sacrificial Fragments |
| Weapon alternative | Sunny Morning Sleep-In, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers |
| Best artifact set | Viridescent Venerer |
| Artifact alternatives | Gilded Dreams |
| Main stats |
|
| Sub-stats |
|
Sucrose's best weapon is Sacrificial Fragments as it boosts her elemental mastery, which is by far her most important stat. Her best artifact set is Viridescent Venerer, much like a lot of anemo characters. You should focus on elemental mastery on all pieces.
How should I use Sucrose?
Sucrose's utility comes from her elemental skill and elemental burst abilities. You're not really going to get much use out of her normal attack, except for maybe collecting dandelion seeds in the wild.
She does rely on her first and fourth constellations to really reach maximum potential, and her burst cost is pretty high. But, as a budget Kazuha or Venti, she gets the job done. Plus, she's very cute!
What are the best weapons for Sucrose?
If you're lucky enough to pull it on the weapon banner, Sunny Morning Sleep-In is a fantastic weapon for boosted elemental mastery and reaction synergy.
However, we recommend Sacrificial Fragments for an on-field reaction driver Sucrose, as it provides almost as much elemental mastery as A Thousand Floating Dreams, plus another skill charge, lowering her energy recharge requirements in the process.
For support Sucrose, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is a surprisingly powerful option, sacrificing her personal damage in exchange for a large attack buff to the next character you take to the field.
Here are Sucrose's best weapons:
| Sunny Morning Sleep-In | Bonus stat: elemental mastery Skill: elemental mastery increases by 120 for six seconds after triggering Swirl. Elemental mastery increases by 96 for nine seconds after Sucrose's elemental skill hits an opponent. Elemental mastery increases by 32 for 30 seconds after Sucrose's elemental burst hits an opponent |
Weapon event gacha |
| Sacrificial Fragments | Bonus stat: elemental mastery Skill: After Sucrose's elemental skill hits an enemy, it has a 40% chance to end its own cooldown. This can only occur once every 30 seconds |
Gacha |
| Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers | Bonus stat: HP Skill: When switching characters, the new character taking the field has their attack increased by 24% for ten seconds. This effect can only occur once every 20 seconds |

What are the best artifacts for Sucrose?
Regardless of the situation, if you have Sucrose on your team, she should always be holding a full set of Viridescent Venerer. It boosts her own damage, shreds enemy elemental resistances, and helps out her entire team. No other set compares.
However, seeing as Viridescent Venerer is the best artifact set for basically every single anemo character, farming enough for all your units can be a pain. Gilded Dreams is a pretty good substitute that boosts Sucrose's elemental mastery, either as a four-piece set or combined with Wanderer's Troupe.
Here are Sucrose's best artifacts:
| Viridescent Venerer | Two equipped: 15% anemo damage bonus Four equipped: Increases swirl damage by 60%. Your opponent's elemental resistance to the element infused in the swirl is decreased by 40% for ten seconds |
Valley of Remembrance in Windwail Highland, near the Dawn Winery, Mondstadt |
| Gilded Dreams | Two equipped: elemental mastery +80 Four equipped: Within eight seconds of triggering an elemental reaction, Sucrose obtains buffs based on the elemental type of the other party members. Increases attack by 14% for each party member with the same elemental type as Sucrose, and increases elemental mastery by 50 for every party member with a different elemental type. Each of the aforementioned buffs count up to three characters. This effect can trigger once every eight seconds, even when Sucrose isn't on the field |
Spire of Solitary Enlightenment domain in Avidya Forest, Sumeru |
| Wanderer's Troupe | Two equipped: elemental mastery +80 Four equipped: not applicable |
World bosses and weekly bosses, as well as the Wanderer's Troupe artifact strongbox |
| Instructor | Two equipped: elemental mastery +80 Four equipped: Increases all party members' elemental mastery upon triggering an elemental reaction by 120 for eight seconds |
Defeating enemies, opening chests, completing quests |

What are the best Sucrose team comps?
