Genshin Impact Venti DPS build guide: Best weapons, artifacts, teams, and more

A plethora of old Genshin Impact characters have finally received buffs in version Luna III, and Anemo Archon Venti is one of them. Thanks to the special new Hexerei buffs, Venti's utility has been expanded immensely, and he can now comfortably fill in the role of a main DPS in plenty of teams. Since he is now no longer relegated to just being a support unit, players might be wondering how to change his in-game build so as to maximize his damage output.

This article provides a guide on building Venti as an on-field main DPS, including providing information on his best new artifact sets, weapons, teams, and talent priorities.

Best weapons for Venti in Genshin Impact

1) The Daybreak Chronicles

Venti's new 5-star signature weapon The Daybreak Chronicles is his best-in-slot weapon that can help him perfectly fulfill his role as main DPS. This bow not only has a CRIT DMG% secondary stat, but its passive also greatly increases his Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst DMG. Since his new kit infuses his Normal Attacks with Anemo (after using his Elemental Burst), he can dish out massive amounts of damage thanks to this weapon's passive effect.

2) Polar Star

Tartaglia's signature 5-star weapon Polar Star is also a good option for a main DPS Venti. Apart from buffing Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG, this bow also grants an ATK boost of upto 48%, all of which Venti can take perfect advantage of.

3) Skyward Harp

Players can also equip the Standard Banner 5-star bow Skyward Harp on Venti. Thanks to its CRIT Rate% secondary stat, this weapon can help you easily balance his CRIT ratio, while its passive effect provides a CRIT DMG buff that Venti can also greatly benefit from.

This 4-star bow is a great free-to-play option for main DPS Venti. This weapon increases Normal Attack DMG by up to 80% (at Refinement Rank 5), which is perefct for Venti's new kit (which infuses his Normal Attacks with Anemo after using his Elemental Burst).

5) Slingshot

Another free-to-play weapon option for Venti is the 3-star bow Slingshot. While its passive effect does provide a DMG buff, do note that its rating as a 3-star weapon means that the Base ATK and secondary stat of this weapon will be rather low.

The 4-piece Desert Pavilion Chronicle artifact set is now Venti's best-in-slot set. The 2-piece effect of this set grants him a 15% Anemo DMG Bonus, while the 4-piece effect provides not only a 40% Normal Attack DMG buff, but also increases Normal ATK speed by 10% (after using a Charged Attack).

• Circlet: CRIT DMG% or CRIT Rate%

Another artifact set that is equally as good as Desert Pavilion Chronicle is the 4-piece Echoes of an Offering set. The 2-piece effect from this set increases ATK by 18%, while the 4-piece effect buffs Normal Attack DMG by up to 70%. Since Normal Attacks are an integral part of Venti's new kit, he will be able to make good use of the 4-piece effect granted by this artifact set.

As with any normal DPS build, use artifacts with the following stats:

Equip artifacts that have the following main stats:

• Sands: ATK%
• Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus
• Circlet: CRIT DMG% or CRIT Rate%

In order to unlock Venti's DPS-oriented kit, you will absolutely need to have one other Hexenzirkel character in your team. That said, he can fit into a wide variety of team compositions due to his excellent crowd control capabilities. Here are some teams you can use Venti in as an on-field main DPS:

• Venti + Durin + Faruzan + Bennett
• Venti + Fischl + Xingqiu + Bennett
• Venti + Albedo + Durin + Bennett
• Venti + Durin + Furina + Bennett
• Venti + Ganyu + Mona + Kokomi

Talent priority for Venti in Genshin Impact

While most players will have already leveled up Venti's talents in accordance with his support playstyle, his DPS role mandates that you level up his priorities in this order:

Normal Attack > Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill

Since an on-field DPS Venti's main source of damage is his Normal Attacks (which work in conjunction with his Elemental Burst), you should focus on leveling up these two first.
