It’s hard to believe that a day came when Venti can be considered an underrated unit in Genshin Impact. With the power scaling of Genshin Impact growing, people start to focus on the new shiny units and overlook classics such as Venti, who was the first unit ever featured in a limited banner.
Since then, Venti has appeared in several rerun banners, making it seem like a good idea to take some of his Constellations to increase his power. In light of that, the purpose of this article is to analyze Venti's Constellations in Genshin Impact.

Are Venti’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
If players are seeking meta-effective Constellations, then, no, Venti's Constellations in Genshin Impact are not worth it. Venti with Constellations will still perform better, but not enough to bear the cost of his Constellations in Genshin Impact.
Venti can already achieve at C0 what his Constellations would’ve gotten him. Each Constellation he acquires takes him one step closer to becoming a better Sub-DPS. In the end, at C6, Venti will be able to massively shreds enemies’ Anemo resistance and inflict a great raw DMG.
C1 - Splitting Gales
- Effect: Fires 2 additional arrows per Aimed Shot, each dealing 33% of the original arrow's DMG.
- Importance: Very Low
C1 Venti can shoot two extra arrows alongside his aimed shot. Even if players considered using his aimed shots after getting his first Constellation, the extra two arrows are clunky and hard to be aimed properly to hit the same target. Players have to get really close to enemies to ensure all three arrows will hit. It’s mostly a Constellation to increase Venti’s Physical DMG and makes him viable as a main DPS.
C2 - Breeze of Reminiscence
- Effect: Skyward Sonnet decreases opponents' Anemo RES and Physical RES by 12% for 10s. Opponents launched by Skyward Sonnet suffer an additional 12% Anemo RES and Physical RES decrease while airborne.
- Importance: Medium
C2 Venti’s effect is his first step into becoming a better Sub-DPS in Genshin Impact. When C2 Venti uses his Elemental Skill, he’ll decrease enemies’ resistance to Anemo and Physical DMG. Unfortunately, as of version 3.1, barely any Physical unit can benefit from the Physical RES reduction. Examples of a good pair with this effect would be Sangonomiya Kokomi with Ocean-Hued Clam artifact.
C4 - Hurricane of Freedom
- Effect: When Venti picks up an Elemental Orb or Particle, he receives a 25% Anemo DMG Bonus for 10s.
- Importance: Low
Some other 5-star characters have this Venti Constellation's effect as one of their Ascension passive, and they even have bigger numbers. Raiden Shogun, for example, can get over 40% Electro DMG if players invested enough Energy Recharge in her build. Additionally, this effect is rather useless if players are playing the Anemo Archon on Elemental Mastery build. It grants a decent boost if Venti is on Crit build, though.
C6 - Storm of Defiance
- Effect: Targets who take DMG from Wind's Grand Ode have their Anemo RES decreased by 20%. If an Elemental Absorption occurred, then their RES towards the corresponding Element is also decreased by 20%.
- Importance: High
Unsurprisingly, this is the most valuable Constellations Venti can have in Genshin Impact. It doesn’t only further help Venti shred enemies’ Anemo resistance, but it also adds a Supportive passive. The passive reduces enemies’ resistance to the Element Venti’s Burst absorbed. While it’s amazing, Venti is already a complete Anemo unit in Genshin Impact that can fulfill his role perfectly at C0.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
