Venti
Venti is one of the most valuable Anemo supports in the game, turning crowded rooms into a breeze with his unmatched grouping. A 4pc Viridescent Venerer set alone makes him shine, no premium weapon required. Prioritize Energy Recharge so his Burst is always up, plus some Elemental Mastery for stronger Swirls. He's superb in Freeze, Electro-Charged, and Quicken teams, but less impactful against large bosses he can't suck in.

Teams for Venti
Venti's talents
Divine Marksmanship
Performs up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, favorable winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow will deal Anemo DMG.
Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Skyward Sonnet
Press
Summons a Wind Domain at the opponent's location, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and launching opponents into the air.
Hold
Summons an even larger Wind Domain with Venti as the epicenter, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and launching affected opponents into the air.
After unleashing the Hold version of this ability, Venti rides the wind into the air.
Opponents hit by Skyward Sonnet will fall to the ground slowly.
In the days when gods and men walked the earth together, the heavens were filled with countless songs. This melody has long since been forgotten.
Wind's Grand Ode
Elemental Absorption
If the Stormeye comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional elemental DMG of that type.
Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.
Many hymns written in praise of the Anemo Archon have been lost to time. This one sings of his mastery over the wind.
Embrace of Winds
Stormeye
If an Elemental Absorption occurred, this also restores 15 Energy to all characters of that corresponding element in the party.
Windrider
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.
Witch's Eve Rite: Temporal Wind's Eulogy
Hexerei: Secret Rite
While the Stormeye created by the Elemental Burst Wind's Grand Ode is active, for 4s after a nearby active character triggers a Swirl or Stellar Swirl reaction, that character's DMG is increased by 50%, and Venti's Stormeye deals 135% of its original DMG.
Combat Rotation
- Before engaging, have another character apply an off-element (Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro) to enemies to set up Elemental Absorption.
- Cast Elemental Burst 'Wind's Grand Ode' (Q, 60 energy, 15s CD) to summon a Stormeye that pulls in enemies, deals continuous Anemo DMG, and absorbs the pre-applied element for bonus DMG of that type.
- While the Stormeye is active, swap to your main DPS to stand in it and dish out AoE damage while triggering Swirl repeatedly.
- Use Elemental Skill 'Skyward Sonnet' (E, 6s CD) — hold it to launch and glide over large groups, or tap it for a quick knock-up/interrupt on single targets.
- Fill downtime with normal bow attacks while waiting for Q to come off cooldown; avoid Charged Attacks to keep the tempo.
- Once the Stormeye expires, Venti regenerates 15 Energy; if an absorption occurred, all party members of that element also regain 15 Energy, shortening the next Burst cycle.
- Repeat the loop: apply off-element → Burst to gather+absorb → swap DPS to burst damage → use E to knock up/interrupt as needed → use the Energy refund to cycle again.
Venti constellations
Fires 2 additional arrows per Aimed Shot, each dealing 33% of the original arrow's DMG.
Skyward Sonnet decreases opponents' Anemo RES and Physical RES by 12% for 10s.
Opponents launched by Skyward Sonnet suffer an additional 12% Anemo RES and Physical RES decrease while airborne.
Increases the Level of Wind's Grand Ode by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When Venti picks up an Elemental Orb or Particle, he receives a 25% Anemo DMG Bonus for 10s.
Increases the Level of Skyward Sonnet by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Targets who take DMG from Wind's Grand Ode have their Anemo RES decreased by 20%.
If an Elemental Absorption occurred, then their RES towards the corresponding Element is also decreased by 20%.

Voice Lines & Comments
Birthday
Someone once told me you're supposed to eat a cake on your birthday... Tada! Here's your birthday cake — it's apple-flavored! And here's a spoon. The cake didn't rise properly in the oven... That's why it looks more akin to an apple pie... Ugh, baking is really quite complicated!
Self-Introduction
Hello
*Yawn* That was a refreshing sleep. Ah, Traveler, we meet again! What? You don't remember me? Ahaha, well, allow me to join you on your quest once again. I must see to it that the bards of the world tell the Traveler's tales!
About Venti
Practice? Me? There's no need — I already know every song in Teyvat!
More About Venti: I
Perfect timing, Traveler! I was about to ask you — what is your greatest wish?
More About Venti: II
There's never a dull moment traveling with you! The only minor inconvenience is that pesky little pixie thing that follows you everywhere... She never stops eating — I can't begin to imagine how much you spend on food!
More About Venti: III
The Pyro Archon is a wayward, warmongering wretch, and the Geo Archon is a brutish, blundering buffoon! How do I know? Because, this is written in the epic poems of days gone by!
More About Venti: IV
Celestia... I'm not sure even I could fly that far. In any case, the water there tastes foul, and the fruit is bland. You know what that means? No cider! Haha, in that case, I wouldn't go there even if I was invited.
More About Venti: V
My greatest wish? It has always been to roam free and experience the whole world. Now, I would add that wherever I go, it simply must be with you! Each day with you is an adventure, and where adventurers go, storytellers must follow!
About Us: New Songs
I have decided to write a song about you! What are you giving me that look for? Can't afford it? Don't be preposterous, the price for you, my friend, is precisely zero Mora! Although... one thing you could do is tell me a few more of your stories!
About Us: Heroes
Haha, once the heroheroine in the song has actually rescued the princessprince, I will ensure this song spreads to every corner of the continent!
About Us: Apostles
Ahh... an evening breeze really sets the mood for becoming my disciple, don't you think? We can do it right now... you just need to make me a small offering...
About Us: Requests
What's that? You think I should try harder to be a good Anemo Archon? Well, you could be a better devotee too... you could be more pious, more passionate, or... um...
Thoughts About Other Characters
Jean
Acting Grand Master Jean... Well, what do you think of her? Yes, I couldn't agree more: conscientious, courageous... kind and considerate too. Reminds me of another good friend...
Diluc
I'm not surprised you want to befriend Master Diluc. Just think of all the vintage wine he must have stored away... Mwuhahaha... Huh? He doesn't let you sample it? Not even the slightest drop? Huh... Well, I guess you can still appreciate the aroma. That's still better than no wine at all, right? No?
Barbara
The darling Deaconess with the sweet singing voice — do you know her? You do? Idol, huh? Meet and greets? Concerts? Wow... That's the power of music for you...
Razor
Ah yes, the white-haired fellow from Wolvendom? Raised by wolves? Really? ... No wonder his scent is so familiar...
Mona
Oh, that astrologer? How should I put it? Fortune-telling and my singing are the same: Both lead to you being so poor you can't even cough up the money for a drink! ...You think that astrology is a cultural tradition, so at least still has some value? Hmph, so rude. In that case, so too is singing, so it still has its value too!
Diona
There's a special drink known far and wide at Cat's Tail. But it ah... ahh... ACHOO! *sniffs* How about you go and fetch one for me? I'll be truly thankful, I promise.
Albedo
How do you explain white chalk in black soil, or the earth's dense crust amidst the emptiness of space? Same reason the purest soil gave birth to human life... It's an ancient power with unmistakable properties. Trying to harness it is dangerous indeed, I can't imagine what would happen if someone lost control of it in the city... Ah, never mind! What goes on within Mondstadt's walls is up to Mondstadt's people to deal with!
Eula
Eula has good taste when it comes to beverages of the alcoholic variety. Come summer or winter, she always likes them ice-cold. That's rare among Mondstadters these days! She and I would make great drinking buddies. Huh? My songs about the Lawrence Clan... She's heard them already? Eh, no harm done. Maybe she and I can do a duet sometime!
Furina
A bard must be versed in both music and song, but a stage performer requires far more skills than just these... Hey, don't you think we should invite her over to put on a show at the next Windblume Festival? ...Huh? You want me to talk about how she saved Fontaine? Well, I mean, she's such a talented artiste, it's no wonder. I wouldn't be surprised even if she'd saved the entire world.
Dahlia
O, Traveler, do you seek to hear the voice of the wind and know its guidance? Then I say to you... chatting to the deacon is your best bet. Haha, I'm kidding — come chat with me over a drink any time you want! The reason I usually get Dahlia to be my intermediary is because... well, I imagine you can probably guess why. He loves listening to the blustering of the wind, but crucially he has his own compass, too.
Durin
Another one of Madame Mage's children here in Mondstadt, what fun! My new little friend looked like he wanted to play with a certain older, bigger friend of mine — so I arranged a little introduction, and voila! It turns out my big friend was the more excited of the two! Why, you should've seen him jumping for joy, patting his belly, and dancing in circles. Oh dear, did he hear what I just said? Quick, quick, let's take cover behind that tree!
Hobbies & Personality
Venti's Hobbies
I like to drink! And I like the wind! If only there were such a thing as wind-brewed cider...
Venti's Troubles
I'm actually highly allergic to cats. I start sneezing as soon as they enter the vicinity, and... Aah... Aa-choo! Ugh, apparently I can't even THINK about cats without sneezing. Do you think there is a cure for this monstrous affliction?
Favorite Food
Here, have an apple. I just picked it. Look how ripe and juicy it is... *munching* ... Truly the fruit of the gods.
Least Favorite Food
Hmm, what's that tasty morsel you've got there...? Eww! A melted cheese pancake? A smelly, sticky, slimy, disgusting mess!
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
Whoa! What was that?
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
Good work. Shall we repose for a moment with a tune? Shall it be a capriccio or a serenade?
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
Come, sit with me. I've written a new poem. I call it "Wind of the Traveler."
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
Hmm... Though I've long since viewed this scenery a great many times, there is something different about seeing it again with you. Surely you're not still concealing some other wondrous abilities? Hmm, even if you were, it would simply further prove that my intuition is correct.
Receiving a Gift
Receiving a Gift: I
Ahh, quite delightful! So... could I get the same again tomorrow? ...And maybe the day after that?
Receiving a Gift: II
Oof, I'm so full... I'll have to pass on the post-meal fruits this time...
Receiving a Gift: III
I can't believe it, but I don't think I can stomach this... Oh boy... What a predicament.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- At Lv90, Venti already gets +32% Energy Recharge baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
- Can restore Energy to teammates via Stormeye, helping the whole team's burst rotation.
- Has crowd-control (knockback/pull/freeze/stun…) via Skyward Sonnet.
- The Normal Attack (via Divine Marksmanship) already deals innate Anemo DMG from the start — no need to wait on the Elemental Skill to apply the element.
- The ascension stat isn't CRIT Rate/DMG — this kit isn't built to carry the team's main damage, fitting a support/sub-DPS role better than a main carry.
- 5★ (Bow) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
