Genshin Impact: Venti guide — Best weapons, artifacts, talents

Venti’s best artifacts: Viridescent Venerer > The Exile

The Exile artifact set tends to drop often when you’re doing various activities in the game. The Viridescent Venerer set, meanwhile, comes from the Valley of Remembrance domain, and it’s considered as Venti’s best artifact set in Genshin Impact.

I tend to favor The Exile set in the early to mid-game because it lessens the need to farm ideal Viridescent Venerer rolls. Plus, the energy recharge rates for Venti (2-piece bonus) and for other party members (4-piece bonus) make a world of difference. Your remaining characters in the party could have their elemental bursts available fairly often.

Towards the late-game, though, it’s better to go for the 4-piece set bonus from the Viridescent Venerer set. The 2-piece bonus already boosts Venti’s Anemo damage by 15%. Plus, the 4-piece bonus increases Swirl damage by 60%, all while lowering the affected enemies’ elemental resistance to the Swirl-infused element by 40%. Viridescent Venerer becomes ideal due to how often you’ll swap to your other teammates after you use Venti’s elemental skills/burst and proc Swirl.

Artifact stat priorities:

• Flower – HP (default)
• Feather – ATK (default)
• Hourglass/Sands – ATK%
• Goblet – Anemo damage
• Circlet/Helm – crit rate or crit damage

Note: Even if Venti is only a support character, try to have crit rate, crit damage, and ATK% as artifact sub-stats. Due to Venti’s elemental recharge, it’s not really a priority compared to other stats/sub-stats (unless it’s fairly low after you’ve built him up).

All right, the next section of our guide deals with Venti’s talent priorities in Genshin Impact.
