Venti in Genshin Impact is a cheerful person – this wine-loving, free-spirited, and carefree bard is also Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, and the very first Archon from the Seven that you’ll meet when playing the game.
Available since Genshin Impact’s release on September 28, 2020, Venti has proven himself to be a perfectly solid 5-star character in the game.
How to Use Venti from Genshin Impact
Since his release, Venti has been well-liked by the fandom because of his utility. His Elemental Skill, Skyward Sonnet, enables you to traverse high places that cannot be reached by climbing.
Even better, his Elemental Burst, Wind’s Grand Ode, can perform as a crowd control by pulling enemies into a vortex. This vortex can absorb DMG from all elements (except for Geo), increasing DMG from elemental reactions.
Strengths
- Helps in Exploration mode by his Elemental Skill.
- Astounding Energy Recharge rate.
- Powerful Elemental Burst because of its crowd control capability and elemental absorption.
Weaknesses
- Elemental Burst cannot react against enemies with elemental auras.
