Genshin Impact Arataki Itto guide – Talent priorities and passives
Let’s talk about Arataki Itto’s build in Genshin Impact based on his talent priorities and passives.
Normal Attack: Fight Club Legend – This increases Itto’s normal, charging, and plunging attack damage:
- Normal Attack – The combo is a string of four normal attacks. The second and fourth hits grant +1 or +2 Superlative Strength stacks respectively. Upon reaching +5 stacks, the duration is refreshed for any existing stack.
- Charged Attack: Arataki Kesagiri – Itto’s charged moves are a series of quick slashes that consume Superlative Strength stacks. Once the final stack is consumed, he’ll do a stronger variant.
- Charged Attack: Saichimonji Slash – Itto will perform this instead if he no longer has Superlative Strength stacks.
Elemental Skill: Masatsu Zetsugi – Akaushi Burst – Tosses a bull named Ushi that deals Geo damage when it hits opponents:
- Superlative Strength – Itto gains a stack of +1 Superlative Strength when:
- Ushi initially hits enemies upon casting.
- Ushi takes damage (procs every two seconds).
- Once Ushi leaves the field (i.e., end of duration or once HP reaches zero).
- Ushi can taunt nearby enemies.
- Ushi gains HP based on a percentage of Itto’s max HP.
- The elemental skill button can be held down to adjust Ushi’s throwing angle.
- The skill itself has a six-second duration and a 10-second cooldown.
Elemental Burst: Royal Descent – Behold, Itto the Evil – Itto turns into his Raging Oni King demon form:
- Converts Itto’s attacks into Geo damage; cannot be overridden.
- Increases Itto’s normal attack speed and his ATK% based on DEF.
- The first and third strikes of Itto’s normal attack combo grant Itto +1 Superlative Strength.
- Reduces Itto’s elemental and physical resistances by 20%.
- The burst has an 11-second duration and an 18-second cooldown. However, it will end prematurely if Itto leaves the field.
Note 1: Because most of Itto’s DPS will come from his charged slashes, you’ll want to prioritize his normal attack talent followed by his elemental burst. You can save the elemental skill for last since its main purpose is to generate additional Superlative Strength stacks.
Note 2: Arataki Itto’s talents can be upgraded by using Elegance booklets (from the Violet Court domain every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday), as well as Slime Secretions/Condensate. Higher levels also require the Ashen Heart dropped by La Signora.
Passive Talents
- Woodchuck Chucked – Itto grants the party a +25% chance to obtain additional wood from chopping down trees.
- Arataki Ichiban – Itto’s Arataki Kesagiri charged attacks provide additional benefits:
- +10% attack speed for the next slash (up to a maximum of 30%).
- Increased resistance to interruption.
- Bloodline of the Crimson Oni – Arataki Kesagiri damage is increased by 35% of Itto’s DEF.
Constellations
- C1: Stay a While and Listen Up – Itto gains +2 Superlative Strength after using his burst. Itto will also freely gain a total of +3 stacks within a few seconds.
- C2: Gather ‘Round, It’s a Brawl – After using his burst, Itto’s burst cooldown is decreased by 1.5 seconds and he gains +6 energy for every Geo character in the party.
- C3: Horns Lowered, Coming Through – +3 levels for your elemental skill; maximum level is 15.
- C4: Jailhouse Bread and Butter – After the duration of Itto’s burst, all party members gain +20% DEF and ATK for 10 seconds.
- C5: 10 Years of Hanamizaka Fame – +3 levels for your elemental burst; maximum level is 15.
- C6: Arataki Itto, Present – Charged attacks deal +70% crit damage. Likewise, the Arataki Kesagiri slashes have a 50% chance to no longer consume Superlative Strength stacks.
All right, let’s go to the next part of our Genshin Impact Arataki Itto guide to talk about the best weapon options for him.
