In Genshin Impact, Venti is known for wandering the streets of Monstadt and playing music to the people, before stopping off at the local tavern for a glass of dandelion wine. This whimsical character performs strong ranged attacks and uses anemo skills to suspend enemies in mid-air.
Our Genshin Impact Venti guide will assist you in finding the best weapons and artifacts for the five-star character, as well as provide information on his active and passive skills. Although Venti can dish out some decent DPS, we recommend using him as a support character, unless you’re in desperate need of an anemo damage dealer.

Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Venti guide:
The best Genshin Impact Venti build
As mentioned above, we recommend using Venti as a support character. You’ll want to use weapons and artifacts that lower the cooldown time of his elemental burst skill in order to whip up some powerful storms.
Which weapon should you use?
We’ve picked out two weapons that are perfect for a Venti support build. The Stringless is our preference, however, the Favonious Warbow is great for energy recharge.
| Weapon | Effect |
| The Stringless | Increases elemental skill and elemental burst damage by 24% |
| Favonious Warbow | Critical hits have a 60% chance to generate an elemental orb, this orb regenerates six energy for Venti. The effect can only occur once every 12 seconds |
Which artifact set should you use?
Both artifact sets we’ve chosen work great when using Venti as a support character. Feel free to equip a full set or just two of each for some great results.
| Artifact set | Effect |
| Viridescent Venerer |
Two equipped: 15% anemo damage bonus Four equipped: Increases swirl damage by 60%. Decreases the opponent’s elemental resistance to the swirl element by 40% for ten seconds |
| Noblesse Oblige |
Two equipped: elemental burst damage increased by 20% Four equipped: Using an elemental burst increases all party members’ attack by 20% for 12 seconds |
What are Venti’s skills?
Active skills:
| Skill | Effect |
| Divine Archery | Performs six shots |
| Divine Archery (charged) | Performs a more precise and powerful shot |
| Divine Archery (plunging) | Deals AoE damage on impact |
| Skyward Sonnet (press) | Deals AoE anemo damage and launches enemies into the air |
| Skyward Sonnet (hold) | Deals AoE anemo damage and launches enemies into the air. After using the hold version of this ability, Venti will ride the wind into the air |

| Windrider (unlocked automatically) | Decreases stamina consumption for the party by 30% |
What are Venti’s constellations?
Leveling up constellations can be tedious as you need to receive lots of duplicate Venti from wishes. Although the process is annoying, the buffs gained are worth it.
| Constellation | Effect |
| Splitting Gale | Two additional arrows are fired per aimed shot, each dealing 33% of the original arrow’s damage |
| Breeze of Reminiscence |
Skyward Sonnet decreases enemy anemo resistance by 12% for ten seconds. Enemies launched into the air by Skyward Sonnet receive an additional 12% anemo and physical resistance decrease while airborne |
