Now that Anemo characters take more advantage from the elemental mastery for their swirls, the way you build Venti has changed.
Today we’re going to talk about the first promotional 5-star character in Genshin Impact, as the title shows: Venti. He is considered to be the best support character in Genshin Impact due to his powerful Elemental Burst ability that clumps enemies in on spot where they’ll be receiving a lot of damage. It’s easy to say that everyone wants him, and if you happen to have him, here you’ll find his best builds.
5. Swirl Support
(Swirl Support Build)
This is a build quite useful for Venti in early stages. You’ll have to use two pieces of the Viredescen Venerer set and two pieces of the Wanderer’s Troupe set, which will give you a nice Burst damage bonus and Elemental Mastery for your Swirls
What “Swirl Support” excels in:
- Because Venti does a lot of damage with his Burst, getting a bonus of it will help you delete enemies easily.
- Also, Swirl reactions are amazing to deal with enemies considering the buff from the previous version.

4. Burst Sub-DPS
(Burst Sub-DPS build)
If you want you to focus on Venti’s Burst to deal more damage, then you want to follow this build. For this, you are going to use two pieces of the Viridescent Venerer and two pieces of the Noblesse Oblige set. Remember that Venti gathers enemies in the air, therefore, use a main DPS when switching that can hit them.
