The Ultimate Guide to Venti Team Compositions: Unleashing the Anemo Archon’s Potential

The question of who makes the best team for Venti is a popular one among Genshin Impact players, and the answer, while seemingly straightforward, requires a deeper dive. Venti, the Anemo Archon, is renowned for his incredible crowd control capabilities, making him a valuable asset in a multitude of team compositions. However, his effectiveness is amplified when paired with specific characters that can truly capitalize on his strengths. So, the short answer? There isn’t a single “best” team, but rather a selection of incredibly powerful synergies depending on the content you are facing. However, focusing on the “Morgana” Freeze variant and the Vaporize compositions generally yields the most consistent results for Venti.

Understanding Venti’s Strengths

Before delving into specific team compositions, it’s crucial to understand why Venti excels. His Elemental Burst, Wind’s Grand Ode, is where his true power lies. This ability creates a vortex that pulls in smaller enemies, suspending them in the air and inflicting continuous Anemo damage. The burst also absorbs the first element it comes into contact with, dealing additional damage of that element. This makes him exceptionally powerful against groups of weaker enemies, but less effective against larger or boss-type foes. To maximize Venti’s effectiveness, therefore, we must select team members who can:

Apply elements consistently to enable Swirl reactions and allow for absorption.
Capitalize on enemies being grouped, allowing for efficient multi-target damage.
Provide utility and sustain to ensure team survivability.

Top Venti Team Compositions

The Morgana Freeze Team

This is arguably one of the most famous and powerful Venti teams, focusing on freezing enemies and dealing massive damage. This comp often includes:

Venti (Anemo): Crowd Control and Swirl Reactions
Ganyu (Cryo): Main DPS, provides consistent Cryo application.
Mona (Hydro): Applies Hydro for Freeze, buffs damage through her burst. Sometimes Kokomi may take the place of Mona.
Diona (Cryo): Provides shields, healing, and Cryo resonance for additional damage.

The synergy here is impeccable. Venti groups the enemies, Mona applies Hydro, Ganyu and her burst applies Cryo to them to then freeze the enemies, with her charged attack doing massive damage and shattering the frozen enemies. With this team Venti is acting as a CC bot but also a battery, meaning that you need to use an energy recharge weapon or artifact set on him. Diona, will not only act as a healer and shield generator but also another battery for the Cryo units in the team. This comp shines in content where you face multiple enemies.

The Vaporize Composition

Vaporize teams can be incredibly powerful with Venti, allowing for massive damage through the Vaporize reaction. A common example is:

Venti (Anemo): Crowd Control and Swirl Reactions.
Xiangling (Pyro): Off-field Pyro application through her burst. She also benefits from Venti gathering.
Xingqiu (Hydro): Off-field Hydro application and damage reduction.
Bennett (Pyro): Healer, ATK buffer and battery.

Venti groups the enemies, allowing for Xiangling and Xingqiu to hit multiple targets. Venti’s burst also absorbs the Hydro or Pyro elements, further boosting the reactions and the AoE. Bennett provides healing and a large ATK buff which Xiangling can take full advantage of. Venti, through his burst, also acts as a battery for the team. This team is a solid pick and allows for insane numbers with the Vaporize reaction.

The Electro-Charged Team

This team capitalizes on the Electro-Charged reaction to deal consistent AoE damage. One example includes:

Venti (Anemo): Crowd Control and Swirl Reactions.
Yae Miko (Electro): Off-field Electro application and consistent damage.
Kokomi (Hydro): Consistent Hydro application and healing.
Fischl (Electro): Off-field Electro application and battery.

Venti will group up the enemies to allow both electro units to do their damage, with Kokomi enabling the Electro-Charged reaction to continuously proc. This is an extremely comfortable team that can do consistent damage, while being able to keep your team at full HP. This comp can also work with other electro units like Raiden Shogun instead of Yae Miko.

The Quickswap Team

A less common but still effective option is the Quickswap team, utilizing multiple elemental reactions and quick character rotations.

Venti (Anemo): Crowd Control and Swirl Reactions.
Xingqiu (Hydro): Off-field Hydro application and damage reduction.
Xiangling (Pyro): Off-field Pyro application and burst damage.
Bennett (Pyro): ATK buff, healing and battery.

This team relies on quick swapping and continuous skill and burst rotations to maximize elemental reactions. Venti helps group enemies while the other members deal fast paced reaction damage, and Bennett can help Venti’s energy recharge.

Situational Team Considerations

It’s important to remember that the “best” team is also dependent on the specific content you’re facing. For instance, the Freeze team excels against groups of smaller enemies while a Vaporize team might be better suited for boss fights with waves of minions. Venti, while being an amazing crowd controller, may not be as effective against large bosses or enemies that are resistant to his abilities. If you’re facing enemies that are too heavy to be pulled by his burst, focus on using a team that will not depend on his CC ability, or if you can, simply don’t use his burst against those enemies.

Understanding Venti’s Weakness

Despite being a powerful character, it’s important to remember Venti’s weakness: his crowd control is not as effective against heavy or boss-type enemies, and his abilities can be nullified in certain situations, so always try to adapt to the situation and build your teams accordingly. Also, if you are a player that enjoys using characters like Xiao or Razor, Venti’s crowd control may prove to be detrimental to your game plan, as they would not be able to hit the suspended enemies.
