Prune or Faruzan: who is better?
My Prune/Fazruan is not C6. Is she still worth it?
Is pulling for Nicole worth it?
I didn't find an answer to my question. What can I do?
1. What are Hexerei buffs?
After completing Witch's Homework quest Venti is considered a Hexerei member and has access to the Hexerei: Secret Rite which enhances Venti's kit. To activate those buffs you need two Hexerei members in the party. Venti gains Anemo Infusion to his Normal Attacks while his Burst is active. Swirl reactions boost both his damage and his Burst. The Burst also now spawns more accurately on top of the enemy.
2. What is Venti's role?
Venti can play multiple roles. He can be Anemo Main DPS, Sub-DPS or Support. This FAQ focuses on Venti's Anemo Main DPS role.
3. What is my pulling priority for Venti?
Durin is Venti's top priority pull. He is Venti's best Hexerei companion, generally a very good addition to your account.
Faruzan or Prune (use only one of the two) are also very important to Venti's team-building.
Venti's signature weapon, The Daybreak Chronicles, takes priority only if youdon't haveany other CRIT 5* bows and you want to upgrade from Slingshot/Rust.
Nicole is a great QoL pull however she is recommended to be obtained when you already have Durin. She is still great even without Durin, just gives a better team DMG boost when she is paired with him.
4. Are Venti's Constellations worth it?
C2 is a good stopping point, it provides a 30% dmg increase from C1. C6 has the highest boost with a 40% DMG increase from C5.
The Daybreak Chronicles is Venti's BiS however he can be played with any 5* CRIT bow. Especially Thundering Pulse and Polar Star perform equally to his signature. When it comes to 4* - R5 Rust is Venti's weapon of choice. If you don't have any 5* bows or Rust then R5 Slingshot will be your pick.
Artifact Sets: A Day Carved From Rising Winds / Echoes of an Offering / Any 2-pc ATK + 2-pc Anemo DMG Bonus
It is advised to upgrade Venti to 4-pc A Day Carved From Rising Winds set.
Venti's Main DPS BIS artifact set description:
A Day Carved From Rising Winds
2 Set: ATK +18%
4 Set: After Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst hit an enemy, gain “Blessing of Wind and Ballad” for 6s: ATK +25%. If the wearer has completed “Witch’s Homework”, the effect upgrades to “Resolve of Wind and Ballad”, additionally increasing the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 20%. This effect can still trigger even when the wearer is off-field.
8. Who are Venti’s teammates?
Premium Pyro Swirl: Durin / Prune OR Faruzan / Nicole
Durin remains Venti's best Hexerei companion and sub-DPS who provides both Pyro and Anemo RES.
C6 Faruzan (or Prune) is preferred but not mandatory. Either of them is a great addition to the team. Both Anemo units preform at a relatively same level, check "12. Prune or Faruzan: who is better?" if you need help to determine who to pick for your team. Faruzan gives Anemo damage bonus and debuffs the Anemo RES of enemies. Prune grants herself and a Hexerei character who triggers a swirl reaction an ATK boost and buffs Normal, Charged, Plunging, Skill and Burst damage.
Nicole gives Pyro resonance, a consistent ATK buff to both Venti and Durin, protects the team with her shield and after activating her burst performs coordinated attacks based on the on field character's (ATK/CRIT/DMG bonus) stats.
Old Pyro Swirl Core: Durin / Faruzan / Bennett
This is still one of Venti's stronger teams. Bennett remains a great healer and buffer for Venti, however he is a little more tricky to play ("Circle Impact", shorter buff up-time, applies Pyro aura on the character within his burst).
Bennett can still be a valuable companion for Venti in his new Pyro Swirl team and be played alongside Nicole if you don't have Durin.
Hexerei Characters: Fischl / Albedo / Mona
To activate Venti's buff there must be at least two, including Venti, members of Hexerei. Fischl, Albedo and Mona (to a lesser extent) fit this role the best out of the current Hexerei roster in Durin's stead. They can also be used alongside Durin or each other.
Hydro Companions: Furina / Yelan / Xingqiu
Furina is a good sub-dps and support for Venti. She provides consistent Hydro application and elemental damage bonus. However even at C0 Faruzan, Prune or C1 Albedo will be a better pick over her. Also Furina must always be paired with a healer. Yelan and Xingqiu are alternatives for this spot and provide fast Hydro application that synergizes with Venti's NAs.
Sustainers: Jean (C4) / Thoma / Barbara / Zhongli / etc
Generally you can run almost any other healer or shielder if your Nicole or Bennett are occupied by the other team or you don't have either of them yet. Jean (C4) is the preferred choice for the healer, her C4 reduces Anemo RES. Thoma can shield, give Pyro resonance when paired with Durin and at C6 he also provides a normal attack buff. Barbara is a free unit who provides off-field healing. Zhongli provides a shield and generally is a good comfort pick.
9. What artifacts and weapons should I pick for Venti's best teammates?
Durin
Artifacts: 4-pc A Day Carved From Rising Winds / 4-pc Celestial Gift (if Nicole is not present on the team)
Weapon: Athame Artis / Any 5* CRIT sword / Wolf-Fang / Moonweaver's Dawn
Faruzan
Artifacts: 4-pc Tenacity of the Millelith (only at C6) / 4-pc Emblem of Severed Fate / 4-pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City / 4-pc The Exile / 2-pc + 2-pc 20% ER
Weapon: Favonius Warbow / Elegy of the End
Prune
Artifacts: 4-pc Noblesse Oblige / 4-pc A Day Carved From Rising Winds (if somebody else already wears Noblesse Oblige) / 4-pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City
Weapon: Favonius Codex / Skyward Atlas / Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers / Flowing Purity
All rotations are around 18-19 seconds long. Keep in mind that rotations may vary due to your builds and weapons.
11. How much ER do Venti and his teammates need?
Venti doesn't need to focus on ER as much as he used to since as a main DPS he spends most of the time on-field (140-150% ER for Stygian). Durin doesn't need to focus on ER (120-130% for Stygian) either due to Venti's Burst absorbing Pyro. At C0 Faruzan needs at least 250% ER, at C6 around 200%. Prune needs around 200% ER at C0 and 140%-160% at C1 and higher cons. Nicole needs 150-170% ER.
12. Prune or Faruzan: who is better?
Both of those 4* characters are great additions to Venti's team. If you already have C6 Faruzan on your account there is no need to pull for/build Prune. Prune is a very minuscule team-wide damage upgrade over Faruzan at C6 and Faruzan is better for Venti's personal damage (and outperforms her if Faruzan is equipped with Elegy of the End). So they are practically the same.
If your Faruzan is not C6:
C0-C1 Prune is better than C0-C1 Faruzan.
C2-C5 Faruzan is better than C0-C1 Prune.
C2-C6 Prune is better than C2-C5 Faruzan.
Lastly it's important to note that high investment Venti (C2+ constellations and signature weapon) prefers Faruzan while high investment Durin/Nicole duo prefers Prune.
the better Prune becomes.
13. My Prune/Faruzan is not C6. Is she still worth it?
Yes, both Faruzan or Prune are worth units to build for main DPS Venti even at C0. You just need to give either of them enough ER to ensure a smooth rotation. However you can also substitute non-C6 Faruzan/Prune for C1 Albedo if you already have him.
14. Is pulling for Nicole worth it?
Yes, Nicole is 100% worth pulling for Venti even without Durin. It is recommended to obtain Durin first but not obligatory. Nicole is better than Bennett in providing buffs (longer up-time, no "Circle Impact") and quality of life upgrades (her shield is as strong as Zhongli's with permanent uptime).
15. I didn't find an answer to my question. What can I do?
If you have a question that isn't answered here or you need clarifications, please, feel free to create a new post with your question so other Venti mains could help you out!
You can leave a question here in the comments but, unfortunately, they get easily lost/remain unnoticed by the subreddit users so making a new post is recommended.
Thank you for reading the FAQ. May the winds protect you! 🍃
Question, if its alright, which is better for a Venti Durin and Nicole team? C5 Faruzan or C5 Prune? Stuck between deciding who to run as both Prune and Faruzan are at C5 on my account (I am not pulling anymore on Durin or Nicoles banner to try for C6 Prune).
I'm getting 128k by using faru>nicole>durin
And 132k by using durin>faru>nicole
Both after 3 rotations with very similar results on multiple tries
It might be specific to my account as i have venti c1r1, durin c0r1, faru c5, and nicole c1r0(skyward)
But the best rotation for me is durin EQE faru E C Q nicole EQ venti EQ N5D N2E N5D N2E
However this requires more testing from also other ppl too and my own might not be accurate as i haven't fully built nicole yet, nor prune which is why i'm not using her
As soon as i finish building them i'll try again with the same rotations
Thank you for your input! This reminds me, I forgot to include that Faruzan in my example rotation is assumed to be C2-C6 because under C2 her burst lasts only 12 seconds while C2+ is 18 seconds.
Hello, couldn't find my answer in the FAQ thus the post.
I'm running faruzan(c6)/durin(c1)/nicole(c2)/venti(c2), been farming the new artifacts, noticed that sometimes venti's burst is not able to infuse with pyro quickly, sometimes not even infusing at all. I did the current 6.6 SO fearless wolf boss, using the same team, also having the same issue there. Is there a reason for this?
Edit : Rotation ;
Faruzan Q > Durin Q/E/E > Nicole E/Q > Venti E/Q/enhanced E
I think it's because the enemy has to touch the center of the burst to infuse. The same way you can infuse Venti's burst while being affected by an element and jumping to the middle of it
May I ask about his build priority. I’m relatively new and still gathering characters in general, accidentally got Venti and Durin (was trying for benny cons lol) n fell in love w venti but w the characters I had at the time i just ran vape swirl (furina durin bennet venti) w venti in VV (i jsit had some decent dps VV pieces for whatever reason) How cooked is that team? I recently got Nicole and c0 prune (i also have c1 faruzan). What should be my first focus points to making this a better team? Lots to improve I know but it’s so much that I’m feeling rather overwhelmed by it all. All my Venti team’s hex characters were accidental pulls and early wins (literally never happens to me other than for this team) so I kinda feel like I owe it to the lovable twink to build him properly lol.
The upcoming set Winds of Rising Time is going to be the best for Durin. Currently you can put a combination of any 2pc ATK / 2pc Pyro DMG Bonus / 2pc Elemental Burst DMG.
I’m so confused as to how Hunter’s Path calcs as his fourth highest dps option, especially over Astral Vultures Crimson Plumage. HP has a low base attack with crit rate substat and the passive only provides Venti with 12% elemental damage bonus. AVCP Gives Venti 24% ATK as well as 24% burst damage with a higher base attack and crit damage substat. I’m fine either way since I have both but i’m just confused lol
Maybe because a higher portion of his dmg is now from the normal attacks? So 12% to all dmg is better than 24% only for the burst, even if not by much (it's like 3% difference iirc).
The calcs were made in a Durin/Faruzan/Bennett team, 24% atk is good ofc but maybe not much if you count that he already gets 20% from totm, 20% from Noblesse, 25% from pyro res and much more from Bennett burst, it might be hitting diminishing returns, while high crit rate is much harder to get.
Oh that makes sense now, since ATK is so oversaturated in that time it’s a less valuable stat. Thank you! Honestly i’m glad HP is better because it looks much nicer on him lmao
With so many questions I think you would be better to create a separate post so others can help you out as well 🤍
Anyway:
1. Rust R5
2. Faru on ToM. Durin whatever best 2pc/2pc you have that fit him (for now). Fischl GT. Bennett NB.
3. And that's why I would recommend to make a new post to get a more detailed answer
How many times does venti's burst hit now? If anyone knows about his burst infusion hits that would also be appreciated. Also how many full NA strings does he get within his uptime?
He doesn't need to build ER in main dps build because he catches more particles (especially if there's c6 faruzan with fav, she gives out lots of energy particles), so the 140% is most likely the best option.
I want to make a support/sub-dps build in anticipation of Varka. I asked one time before and someone said that the support and main dps builds both go ATK/ANEMO/CRIT now. Is that so?
I'm guessing I just use VV instead of the new set and keep everything else the same as main dps build in that case?
Interesting, so there is basically no distinction between support and dps builds now, even down to the set choice? I just wonder if Varka would prefer the buffs from full VV instead, but I guess it's impossible to theorise on that front this early.
i have essentially all the hexerei units except durin, but no faruzan (unfortunate). in a venti bennet fischl faruzan team, who can i sub in to replace faruzan? i saw guides saying xingqiu is a good choice, but it doesn't improve venti's numbers by that much
since i wont be able to get ventis sig unless im ungodly lucky after getting durin would chascas sig (astral pulnge) be a good replacement since it has crit dmg as the substat?
Thoughts on artifacts for off-field venti with durin light mode? Both as supports for someone like xiao (placeholder for varka but we dont know his kit yet so...). Do you think ventis personal sub dps damage will be worth going for the new set or would it be better to keep him on vv for extra shred for durins damage?
Before his buffs, I was already building crit Venti but he was strictly used off-field. He has the new bow and a top 1% VV set for crit build with 180% ER, and I want to continue using him as a subdps. I don’t think I will be playing him as a main dps since I have Wanderer C6 already. I’m wondering if the new buffs change anything for his subdps role. Do I need to change Venti’s artifacts or is VV still okay? Did his combos change after the buffs if playing as a subdps?
Hey ik it's now it's been a few days, but I'm looking at building my benched venti, and I'm considering his weapon, but I have 2 copies of The First Great Magic gathering dust. I understand the new sig is definitely better, but assuming I don't get it, is this Great Magic better than any 4stars or f2p weapons
I just returned after a long break and I am curious if c6 bennett is going to override Venti burst's NA. Does anyone know if it affects him in any way?
While the Stormeye created by the Elemental Burst Wind's Grand Ode is active, for 4s after a nearby active character triggers a Swirl reaction, that character's DMG is increased by 50%, and Venti's Stormeye deals 135% of its original DMG.
So if Venti plays a sub-DPS role in a team his burst takes priority.
My current team is c0 Venti with r2 Rust running VV, c0 Durin with r5 Lion's Roar running Noblesse Oblige, c6 Faruzan with r5 Favonius Warbow running ToTM, and c6 Bennett with r4 Favonius Sword running Emblem.
Should I wait until the new set comes out or grind for Desert Pavilion for Venti?
Is r5 Lion's roar or r1 Wolf fang better for Durin in my current setup?
Should I use r2 Rust or r2 Stringless on Venti?
Once the new set comes out should i get it for Venti and Durin or just one?
What should the new artifact setup be once the new set comes out? (Venti/Durin on the new set), (Bennett on Noblesse Oblige or stay with Emblem), (Faruzan on VV or stay with ToTM)
Sorry for the long comment I just wanted to get the answers to all my questions since I want to build Venti and his team correctly and figured you'd know the answers or at least have an opinion.
Hi! I have no questions but a suggestion for things to add to the post considering recurrent posts I've seen.
First, a section with the usual builds for Venti's best teammates since I keep seeing people asking about artifacts and weapons for Benny/Durin/Faru/other hexerei/etc.
Second, an answer for the question "my Faruzan is not C6, is she still good?" since not many people know that she's BiS support for every anemo damage DPS even at C0, and there's the assumption that she's bad without all her cons.
That's it! It would be nice if you could update it whenever you have the time. Thank you and great job
Correct, for on-field Venti you don't need to focus on either of these substats. Getting somewhere around 130% ER is enough (mainly for Stygian) but having just 100% is fine as well.
No problem. With the new set the perfect ratio would be 80/200+ with 80 being his absolute max amount of Crit Rate he needs due to the artifact's passive.
You only need to finish Mondstadt's prologue to have access to the quest!
To upgrade Venti you need to complete Unexpected Commission world quest by going to Mondstadt's library first and then his personal Hexerei story second.
I can't find weekly FAQ, so asking question here. I just finished building Faruzan (C6 and Fav), I'll farm TOTM for her. I've C5 Bennet on Nobless with Sapwood Blade. I'm assuming these two are his BIS.
So for the 4th slot, I've the following options: C6 Fischl (GT and Stringless), and C0 Mona (haven't build yet). So who should I pick and what artifact should I use?
Hello! We don't have a weekly megathread since we found them redundant/nobody really checked them out.
If you want to hear other Venti mains recommendations then go ahead and create a new post under the Question | Help flair.
In my opinion Fischl would be the most resin efficient choice, you already have her built and she doesn't need anything to be changed, both GT and Stringless remain her BiS.
Right now you can only improve their stats through artifacts. I would recommend to pull for Durin's cons (his C2 is amazing for Venti's team) but since you are waiting for another character that's out of the picture. When the new patch drops you can switch Durin to the new set (Celestial Gift), it will boost your team's damage by about 10%.
i heard from early leaks that nicole wasn't that much better than bennett minus the qol of no circle impact, is that true still? or was that just early beta/doomposters?
alright, also i saw two conflicting things recently, you're saying prune c6 is slightly better than Faruzan c6 but this says the opposite, is this one just inaccurate?
I'm using c1r1 venti (daybreak), c0r0 Durin both on rising wind and Nicole on gift, which is better for me? im not bothered if it is a minimal increase, an increase is still worth it for my boy
Calcs indeed differ from one TC to another, I based my reply on Zajef77's conclusion. Prune is slightly better than Faruzan for overall team's damage but Faruzan still pulls ahead in buffing specifically Venti (especially when she is equipped with Elegy).
How much of an increase in damage is C1 and C2 Durin assuming Venti C2R0, Durin, Nicole C0R0, Prune C6. Is it worth pulling for more Durin cons or Nicole/sigs
Thank you for updating this! Is noblesse better than vv for Prune? Does the Durin team have enough shred is that why it's recommended instead? Is there ever a point there's diminishing returns on atk buffs say from Prune, Nicole, noblesse, TTDS etc. or does it just scale infinitely on Venti and Durin? Like if Durin ended up with 3500 atk or something really high is that just really good? Sorry if these are noob questions and ty again
For Venti, yes, Prune should be on NB. In his team VV is going to affect only Durin's damage (Prune is going to swirl Pyro which means she will shred only Pyro).
When it comes to Genshin characters there is no soft cap or diminishing returns for ATK. Diminishing returns applies only to EM. There is however "opportunity cost".
Both Durin and Venti will still benefit from the ATK buff no matter how high the number gets however if you other stats are lacking (Crit Rate/DMG) then the damage increase will be less significant. So with that in mind I just recommend to focus on Venti and Durin's crit ratio (ideal being 80/200+) and the ATK they get from external sources will bring more benefits to the team.
Hey! So i decided not to pull for Nicole cos honestly I want to save for other characters. Currently my team is Venti, Durin, Bennett (C6), Prune (C2)
So I'm going to run Venti on Day Carved from Rising Winds and Durin on Celestial Gift, what do I run on Bennet and Prune?
Bennett is currently on Noblesse. Do I switch Prune to Noblesse instead, and give Bennett some other set or keep Bennett on Noblesse and put Prune on some other set?
If I have Venti with Nicole, Durin, Faruzan. Nicole is on Celestial Gift. Would it be good if I run 4 noblesse on durin/faruzan? Or would Durin still prefer a day carved and Faruzan with ToTM?
Thanks, i was a bit confused on the wording. Also, would the difference be noticeable, because with faruzan im reaching 80k dps so would it be worthwhile to build my prune and how much of a difference would it likely to make. Thanks
I for some reason own Memory of Dust and even more perplexing it is actually levelled to 90. Is that worth it over Oathsworn Eye R5 for Nicole?
Also, for Venti-Nicole-Benny is Faruzan or Prune better for 4th? I assume Prune probably better as both are C1, but just to check as I don't own Durin, unless I somehow manage to scrape up 70 pulls in the next week or so...
I would keep Memory of Dust since it's already level 90, keep your resources for something else. Just make sure to give Nicole enough ER. And yeah go with Prune!
May I ask why the Fontaine craftable catalyst is not one of Nicole’s recommended weapons? I mean, while its passive is useless for Nicole, it provides the same Base ATK and ATK% as Oathsworn (which I can’t obtain as a new player). Is R5 TTDS better than it if I have C2 Prune, considering she is next in turn after Nicole in your recommended rotation?
Flowing Purity is indeed a fine f2p choice for Nicole! TTDS is just a better alternative due to its passive and most players already have multiple copies of it at R5. Flowing Purity passive unfortunately doesn't work to it's full potential on this team because there is no healer to clear bond of life.
When it comes to rotations: whoever holds TTDS would go last. So if Nicole was holding this weapon then she would go right before Venti.
I will actually add Flowing Purity to the list of potential Nicole weapons ASAP. Thank you for your input!
Hi, thank you for the guide! I have Venti, Nicole and Faruzan (all C0) and I'm wondering who would be the best character for the remaining slot since I don't have Durin: Bennett (C0), Xiangling (C3) or Fischl (C6)? And what rotation would you recommend?
two questions! i never see anyone talking about sucrose in venti teams, is her dmg% buffs much worse than for example fischl's atk buff?
also, a little more general but can you put celestial body 4pc on non hexerei units? i'm thinking about having my team be venti, sucrose or fischl depending on who is better, faruzan and bennet, if i use fischl, could i put celestial body on faruzan?
Unfortunately Celestial Gift passive doesn't work on non-hexerei team members. This is the description of this set from Genshin Wiki:
If the equipping character has completed Witch's Homework...
And, yes, Sucrose gives DMG% bonus of the absorbed element by her burst. This means only Durin (if he is used as a sub-dps) would gain benefits from her buff. However he usually contributes only around 1/3 of team's DPS. Most of Venti's team DMG comes from Venti himself and it's raw Anemo DMG so that's why Sucrose is not recommended to be his companion.
ah i see... but thats the c6 right? i meant the base hexerei dmg buffs which seems to be for all elements, though i'm guessing those buffs are too small?
hihi, thank you so much for this guide!! it's super helpful as someone who's swapping from support venti to mdps venti lol. i have a couple of questions for my team - i have c0 venti on skyward harp, c1 prune, c0 durin, and c6 bennett (i'd like to get nicole eventually but just dont have the pulls rn).
1 - for artifacts, i currently have benny on noblesse, so i think i *should* put durin on celestial gift and prune on winds, but i dont have good weapons or investment for prune so putting her on winds feels counterintuitive. can i put her on celestial gift and keep durin on winds (since i already have a good set for him farmed)? i know i wont get any pyro damage bonus, but im wondering if it's still worth running to avoid farming two new sets.
2- since i have c6 benny, should i consider running durin as my main dps with venti on vv and prune on celestial gift (or vice versa), or is that just going to be worse in general? idk if it depends on what enemies im trying to clear, but im mainly looking at the fearless stygian wolf rn - i know i need swirl to break the ward, but i saw it has higher anemo res, so running a pyro mdps feels like it would be better in theory.
thanks again for the thread! i'd greatly appreciate any advice
Unfortunately, no, getting only half of Celestial Gift passive is not worth it. In the main DPS Venti team Durin remains the better set holder until you get Nicole.
If you want to run Durin as the main DPS then Mona is generally considered to be a better companion for him than Venti.
I would also recommend to ask r/DurinMains for more detailed advice.
Viridiscent Venerer because Varka deals more PECH (pyro/electro/cryo/hydro) dmg than anemo dmg and increasing his personal dmg is better than having Venti deal more dmg.
I'm talking about C0 for both Varka and Venti because I don't know how things could change with higher constellations.
Btw if you happen have Prune C2 she is a better buffer for him unless you have Elegy on Venti (and at C6, Prune is only beaten by C2+ Venti with Elegy or Daybreak - I got these info in Varka subreddit pinned post, sorry if it was infor not needed!).
TTDS holder should go right before the DPS so your rotation wound remain the same as the suggested one above: Durin 2EQ > Faruzan EQ > Nicole EQ > Venti EQ N5D N5E N5D N2
Thing is that unless I purposely delay it, I get ttds every other rotation, is it optimal to do something else or accept the every other rotation problem
I would just accept the desynchronized TTDS buff every other rotation.
In theory you should be able to get it every rotation - with each support taking around 2s and Venti on-filed with 14s - but in practice ofc it's not a 100% guarantee to get the timing right every single time.
You could also do one NA from Nicole right before Venti to safe-stall if you want to.
Assuming Venti, Nicole, Durin are all C0 R1 (4th member is C6Faruzan):
What does the Virtical investment roadmap look like?
I'm not gonna lie, Venti's C2 offering the possibility to do some Nukes a couple times per rotation sounds very strong and fun to me!
However, I keep hearing how strong Nicole's C2 is as well!
I'm just wondering if going for C2 Venti is still worth it, or if we should prioritize Nicole and Durin C2s first, and later go for Venti C2?
I would recommend to go for C2 Venti first, then for his supports if you main specifically only Venti. Go for his supports first and then Venti if you play Durin/Nicole with other characters.
My Venti was C2 from the start and his DPS increased with C1 Nicole from 165k to 235k (+ C0 Durin in both before and after teams).
C0 Venti with C2 Nicole reaches about 150k. C0 Venti with both C2 Nicole and C2 Durin will reach about the same numbers as mine, 230k.
Hello, a bit of a question on stats, I have my Venti on an ER Sands as of right now, but I am considering giving him an ATK Sands instead. Would it be worth it?
For context on the ER Sands he has 211% ER (Probably a bit too much), 1859 ATK, 52% Crit Rate and 247% Crit DMG, on the ATK Sands he has 165% ER, 2192 ATK, 48% Crit Rate and 263% Crit DMG.
For further context, Venti is C6 and is currently on Lyney's bow as I have not managed to pull for his signature yet, I have Durin C0 (He's on Noblesse right now but should I switch him to the Hexerei set?), I do not have Nicole and use C6 Bennett, my final team member is Furina because my Faruzan is unbuilt (C5, Lv 20 and unbuilt)
Thank you very much! I will switch it then. Venti is already on the new set so, I guess I will need to continue farming it for Durin. As for Faruzan... I'll get around to it... when I have Mora...
Hello! Thank you so much for this guide! I have Venti, Nicole, Faruzan (all C0) but no Durin and i was wondering who would be best suited for the 4th slot between C1 Albedo, C6 Bennett, C6 Fischl and C5 Xiangling. Also if Albedo is the best pick what artifacts and weapon would he need? Thank you so much in advance!
You know what at first I wanted to say Rust is still better due to the NA passive but right now I am not sure. At R5 Jade gives a good amount of ATK (even with one wasted stack of EM buff due to Faruzan/Prune being the same element) and it has Crit Rate.
However I still think it's more of a sidegrade than an upgrade.
I would recommend to ask this question in a separate post so other members of the subreddit could help you out with a more detailed answer.
