Genshin 6.2 Venti Buffs & New Weapon - Is Worth Pulling?

Greetings, Travelers! With the upcoming release of Genshin Impact Version 6.2, the long-overlooked Anemo Archon, Venti, is finally receiving a systematic and significant enhancement. Once one of The Seven who faded from the meta due to shifting game environments, can Venti now reclaim Venti’s former glory? Today, combining existing information, LDShop provides a detailed analysis of the buffed Venti to help you decide if Venti's worth your precious Primogems.

 

Detailed Breakdown of Venti's enhancement & New signature weapon

Core Mechanism Optimizations

The most crucial improvement lies in the practical enhancement of Venti’s Elemental Burst:

• Comprehensive Damage Increase: During Venti’s Burst, the DMG bonus after triggering Swirl has been increased from approximately 40% to 50%, and the Stormeye's own damage is boosted to 135% of its original value. This significant numerical buff substantially improves Venti's damage potential.

 

New On-Field Playstyle

The most exciting change is that Venti gains a brand new on-field damage-dealing capability:

• Windsunder Arrow Normal Attacks: After activating Venti’s Elemental Burst, Venti's Normal Attacks are converted into enemy-piercing Windsunder Arrows that deal Anemo DMG to opponents along their path.
• Extended Burst Duration: Some Normal Attack hits can also extend the duration of Venti’s Elemental Burst, creating a positive damage cycle.

This transformation shifts Venti from a pure off-field grouping support into a hybrid character capable of both on-field damage and functional support.

 

New Signature Weapon Synergy

The 6.2 new signature weapon, "The Daybreak Chronicles", provides exceptional synergy:

• It offers a strong base ATK of 674 and a 44.1% CRIT DMG sub-stat.
• Its effect, "Dawning Song of Daybreak," perfectly complements Venti's new mechanics:
  • Out-of-Combat Buff: Upon leaving combat for 3 seconds, grants up to a 120% DMG Bonus to Normal Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts (at R1), allowing Venti to unleash burst damage at the start of a fight.
  • Dynamic Cycling Mechanic: After entering combat, the buff decays but can be rebuilt by hitting opponents with Normal Attacks, Elemental Skills, or Elemental Bursts, creating a sustained damage loop.
  • Hexerei Synergy: When the party triggers the "Hexerei: Secret Rite" effect, hitting an opponent increases the DMG Bonus for all three attack types simultaneously, drastically speeding up the stacking process.

This weapon not only addresses Venti's relatively low base ATK but its DMG Bonus mechanism is perfectly tailored to Venti’s new on-field role.

 

Key Constellation Analysis

• C1 - Splitting Gales: Fires 2 additional tracking arrows per Windsunder Arrow, each dealing 33% of the original arrow's DMG. This constellation significantly increases damage and improves targeting experience, offering high value.
• C2 - Breeze of Reminiscence: Skyward Sonnet reduces enemy Anemo & Physical RES by 24%. Using Wind's Grand Ode grants a special state, allowing a subsequent press of Skyward Sonnet to deal 300% of its original DMG. This is a massive power spike for Venti's personal damage.
• C4 - Hurricane of Freedom: After using Venti’s Skill or Burst, Venti and the active party members gain a 25% Anemo DMG Bonus for 10s, enhancing team damage.
• C6 - Storm of Defiance: Opponents hit by Wind's Grand Ode have their Anemo RES decreased by 20% (and corresponding Elemental RES if absorbed). FurtVenti’smore, Venti's DMG against them gains a 100% CRIT DMG Bonus. This constellation unlocks Venti's full potential as a main DPS, providing immense damage amplification through RES Shred and CRIT DMG.

 

Strength Analysis & Value Assessment

Addressing Key Weaknesses

This update directly targets Venti's previous pain points:

• Auto-targeting Burst solves the "missed Burst" issue.
• Overall damage increases alleviate Venti’s late-game fall-off.
• New on-field capability provides more tactical flexibility.

Hexerei Synergy

Completing the "Witch's Homework" questline grants Venti the "Hexerei (Hexenzirkel)" character status. Having at least 2 Hexerei characters in the party triggers the "Hexerei: Secret Rite" effect, providing team-wide benefits and opening new team composition possibilities. Current Hexerei characters include: Venti, Albedo, Klee, Mona, Fischl, Razor, and Sucrose.

Signature Weapon Impact

"The Daybreak Chronicles" provides a monumental boost for Venti:

• Stat Advantage: High Base ATK compensates for Venti’s low inVenti’sent ATK; CRIT DMG sub-stat optimizes crit ratios.
• Mechanical Synergy: The universal DMG Bonus covers Venti’s entire kit post-buff.
• Hexerei Specialization: Dramatically accelerates buff stacking in Hexerei teams, maximizing damage output quickly.

 

Pulling Priority & Recommendations

1. Players Who Should Pull:

• New players lacking crowd control: Venti's overworld exploration and early Spiral Abyss utility remain top-tier.
• Players needing an Anemo Main DPS: The buffed Venti can effectively serve as a primary Anemo damage dealer.
• Those planning Hexerei teams: Venti becomes a core component of this new team archetype.
• Venti enthusiasts: If you love the character, Venti's now stronger than ever.

2. Players Who Can Consider Skipping:

• Those who already have Kazuha and Wanderer: Evaluate if you need a second Anemo character.
• Primogem-strapped meta players: If solely chasing the absolute top-tier, wait for post-release performance data.
• Players focused on single-target damage: Venti's strength remains in multi-target scenarios.

3. Constellation & Weapon Advice:

• C0 is Fully Functional: C0 Venti gains the core buffs and is highly usable.
• Key Constellations: C2 and C6 are significant power spikes, but not strictly necessary.
• Weapon Value: "The Daybreak Chronicles" is the ultimate weapon for a Main DPS Venti, highly recommended for those who can obtain it. For 4-star options, Favonius Warbow or The Stringless remain solid alternatives.
