Arataki Itto is a new 5-star Geo character who wields a claymore and has a convenient build in Genshin Impact.

In this guide, we will tell you about the artifacts and weapons that are suitable for Itto and how to play him. Let's get started!

Build for Itto in Genshin Impact

Itto undoubtedly takes on the role of the main Geo DPS in any team, whose damage depends on the overall amount of defense. This is one of the reasons why Itto is considered an easy-to-build character.

Best weapons for Itto: which sword to use

Naturally, the best weapon for Itto is his signature claymore - Crimson Oni-Slayer. It has an excellent passive ability that suits Itto perfectly, as well as a huge critical damage percentage.

Naturally, there are alternative options in case the signature weapon is unavailable:

• Dragonspine Spear: This claymore is obtained in the paid version of the Battle Pass. It has a good passive ability that increases Itto's damage, as well as an excellent primary stat - critical hit rate.

  

• Whiteblind: This craftable sword also works well for Itto. This weapon has a good defense percentage in its main stat, which is the main criterion for the new character. When choosing this weapon, we recommend focusing on crit rate in artifacts.

  

Best artifacts for Itto: which sets to use

The best artifact set for Itto is a full set of the new "Pale Flame" set. 2 pieces provide Itto with a good defense bonus, which is very important, and 4 pieces grant a Geo damage bonus.

An alternative artifact option for Itto is as follows:

• 2 pieces of "Pale Flame" + 2 pieces of Archaic Petra. In this case, we get defense percentage as well as a 15% Geo damage bonus.

  

Which goblet, hat, and hourglass to use for Itto?

Always use a goblet with "Geo damage bonus," a hat with crit rate/crit damage/defense (depending on the weapon), and an hourglass with defense percentage.

Additional artifact substats for Itto:

1. Critical damage/critical hit rate
2. Defense
3. Attack power

Who to include in a team with Itto?

Geo element is both a plus and a minus in Genshin Impact. With this element, you won't be able to create super-powerful reactions, but for this reason, forming a team becomes a fairly straightforward task.

Who should be in Itto's team:

• We highly recommend adding a Geo character to the team to create Geo resonance. This can be Ningguang (sub-DPS), Zhongli (buffer), Noelle (shield or sub-DPS), Zhongli (shield + burst support), or Geo Traveler.
• Itto needs an energy battery because his Elemental Burst gives him the main and most powerful damage. This can be Raiden, Diona, Rosaria, or Xiangling with Favonius weapon - the main thing is to gather enough energy recharge in the stats.

You can choose the last two characters in the team according to your preference, whether it's a support character (Bennett, Mona, etc.) or a healer (Qiqi, Barbara, etc.). Of course, you can replace any character according to your preference!
