Genshin Impact Arataki Itto Talents, skills, star, element, and weapon

Arataki Itto is a 5-Star Geo claymore user best used in a DPS role as your main attacker due to his excellent attack and defence stats. To increase his effectiveness, you should actually aim to increase Itto's defence, as his skills convert this into increased damage.

Here's a summary of Arataki Itto’s abilities and stats in Genshin Impact:

Element: Geo.Rarity: 5-Star.Weapon: Claymore.Banner: Oni's Royale.Best build: DPS.Normal Attack: Fight Club Legend.Elemental Skill: Masatsu Zetsugi, Akaushi Burst!Elemental Burst: Royal Descent, Behold Itto the Evil!Passive one: Arataki Ichiban (when Itto uses consecutive Arataki Kesagiri charged attacks, each of his slashes increase the attack speed of his next slash by 10%, and he is also less likely to get interrupted by enemies - these effects only activate when Itto performs consecutive slashes).Passive two: Bloodline of the Crimson Oni (Arataki Kesagiri charged attack damage is increased by 35% of Itto's defence).Exploration bonus: Woodchuck Chucked (when a party member gathers wood from a tree, they have a 25% chance to get an additional log of wood).

Arataki Itto Normal Attack: Fight Club Legend

Arataki Itto can perform up to four consecutive strikes, gaining one stack of Superlative Strength on the second strike, and two stacks of Superlative Strength on the fourth strike, with a maximum of five stacks allowed. This attack combo does not reset after dashing or using his Elemental Skill, allowing you to chain moves for increased attack damage.

When a charged normal attack is used, Itto performs Arataki Kesagiri slashes without consuming stamina. Instead, each of these charged slashes consumes one stack of Superlative Superstrength. When the last stack is consumed, Itto will perform a final slash with increased damage. If you don't have any stacks of Superlative Superstrength when using a charged attack, Itto will perform a Saichimonji Slash instead.

Arataki Itto Elemental Skill: Masatsu Zetsugi, Akaushi Burst!

When activated, Arataki Itto hurls Ushi, dealing Geo damage to any opponents it hits. With every opponent Ushi hits, Itto will also gain a stack of Superlative Superstrength. Ushi will continue to provide support to Itto after being thrown by taunting enemies, and providing one stack of Superlative Superstrength each time it is hit by an opponent. This can only build one stack every two seconds.

When Ushi's health reaches zero or its duration ends, Itto will gain one more stack of Superlative Superstrength.

Arataki Itto Elemental Burst: Royal Descent, Behold Itto the Evil!

When activated, Arataki Itto's Elemental Burst converts his normal, charged, and plunge attacks into Geo damage, which can't be overridden. Itto's normal attack speed is also increased, as is his attack.

When he hits with his Elemental Burst active, the first and third strikes of Itto's combo give him one stack of Superlative Superstrength each on top of the stacks he already gets from his regular attack on the second and fourth strikes. Itto's elemental and physical resistance is also increased by 20% while his Burst is active.

By getting duplicates of Arataki Itto from wishing on Banners, you will receive his Stella Fortuna. This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability.

You don't actually need any of Itto's Constellations for him to be an effective DPS carry, but getting him to C2 is recommended if you are using a Geo team but are still struggling for Energy Recharge on his Elemental Burst.

How to play Arataki Itto in Genshin Impact

The best build for Arataki Itto is DPS, as he can pretty much carry a whole team as long as his defence stats are raised and Energy Recharge needs are met on his Elemental Burst by picking a a good team composition and Artifact and weapon buffs.

When playing Itto in a DPS role, you should aim to build stacks of Superlative Strength and then unleash charged attacks to use these stacks up and cause large amounts of damage. It's highly recommended to use your Superlative Strength stacks (and your Elemental Skill) after you have activated Itto's Elemental Burst for a massive damage increase. That should be the general rotation throughout any battle with Itto as your DPS main: build Superlative Strength stacks, activate Elemental Burst, activate Elemental skill, then charge attack opponents.

Best Arataki Itto team in Genshin Impact

Team comps can be quite varied in Genshin Impact, but for Itto, there only really is one type of party member you should try to pair him with, and that's Geo. The more Geo characters you have in a party, the more Energy you can get, which is very important for Itto's Elemental Burst, his main damage source.

You should build a Geo team around Arataki Itto for increased Energy Recharge and other benefits.

Having a Geo character who provides a shield, like Zhongli, is also a great support for Itto. With Itto and Zhongli's Geo Elemental Resonance, Zhongli's shield strength will increase by 15%, and characters protected by the shield will deal 15% more damage.

Other great Geo characters to support Itto with is Gorou, or even a Geo Traveler. You might also want to consider a good support character from another element like Fishcl or Bennett if you aren't struggling with Energy needs.

Best Arataki Itto Artifacts in Genshin Impact

The best Arataki Itto Artifacts in Genshin Impact for a DPS build help raise his defence, Geo Damage, and critical hit chance. You should aim for a four set Husk of Opulent Dreams to increase Arataki Itto's defence by at least 30%, and increase his Geo damage. You should at least try for a two piece Hust of Opulent Artifact set to benefit from the +30% defence.

Building Itto's defence stat should be your primary goal when equipping Artifacts, as his charged attack damage scales off his defence when he uses Superlative Strength stacks.
