Genshin Impact: What is the best build for Arataki Itto

Arataki Itto is a new 5-star Geo Claymore character who serves as a primary DPS. However, due to the way his scalings function, creating this character is a one-of-a-kind difficulty. While most DPS characters prefer to stack a lot of attacks, Itto prefers to stack a lot of defense.

This is comparable to how Constellation 6's DPS Noelle is constructed. Noelle transforms half of her total DEF into ATK at Constellation 6, considerably enhancing her damage output. Itto works in a similar manner, transforming a large portion of his DEF into raw damage. As a result, his build will differ from that of most other characters.

Best weapons for Arataki Itto

The Redhorn Stonethresher, his signature weapon, is unquestionably his best weapon for those with the means. The weapon boasts a character's Crit DMG by more than 80% while simultaneously increasing his DEF by 28%. As if that wasn't enough, a character's DMG for Normal and Charged Attacks is raised by 40% of his DEF. This is ideal for those who spend a lot of money on Arataki Itto.

The Serpent Spine is another wonderful 4-star option for those on a budget. This weapon improves a character's Crit Rate and DMG depending on how much time they spend on the field. This is a good option for individuals who can't afford the Redhorn Stonethresher but still want to invest some money. The Battle Pass, which costs $10, is where you may get this weapon.

You can utilize the Whiteblind for free-to-play players. On-hit, the Whiteblind boosts your DEF and ATK. It's not his strongest weapon, but it's still a good option for people who already have Arataki Itto but can't afford his other weapons.

Best artifacts for Arataki Itto

In most cases, Arataki Itto will only work with one artifact set at a time. The Husk of Opulent Dreams artifact set enhances DEF and Geo DMG percent. The following substations should be aimed for:

• Crit DMG: His finest substate here is Crit DMG, as he gets Crit Rate passively through ascensions.
• Crit Rate: You'll need to continue to improve your Crit Rate. In general, you should aim for a Crit Rate of 60-70 percent and a Crit DMG of twice as much.
• DEF%: ATK is less desirable on Itto due to how his kit works. DEF% will increase his damage output more.
• Energy Recharge: Itto's Elemental Burst is pricey, making it tough to charge up every cycle consistently. This can be aided by some Energy Recharge.

Best team for Arataki Itto

A full or heavy Geo team will be Arataki Itto's finest team. Unfortunately, many of his best sub-DPS and support characters are too pricey. For example, 5-star units like Zhongli and Albedo function nicely with him. However, as 5-star units, they are difficult to come by and thus unavailable to a large number of players.

Gorou is his strongest ally, as he boosts the team's DEF and Geo DMG. As a result, you'll want to slot Gorou in the majority of the time. The following are some of his most successful groups:

• Itto, Zhongli, Albedo, and Gorou: Itto is the primary damage dealer, Zhongli offers protection with his shield, Albedo delivers off-field Geo DMG, and Gorou buffs the entire Geo squad.
• This team consists of Itto, Ningguang/Geo MC, Gorou, and Flex Healer. Ningguang and Geo MC serve as rechargeable batteries for Itto's Elemental Burst while also assisting in team damage. Gorou gives the Geo characters in the team buffs, and you can use any healer to keep your squad alive.
