Venti as a playable character, unlike his NPC form, is a real workhorse that fits into many team compositions. His only weakness are heavy enemies that can’t be lifted by his skills. Also, in some cases he lifts enemies so high that certain DPS characters can’t reach them, which obviously should be avoided.
First example of a strong team composition with Venti is a Freeze team:
Ayaka does the main damage in this team, Shenhe improves it and contributes Cryo resonance. Kokomi heals the squad and provides steady Hydro effects so Ayaka can freeze enemies. Venti always comes onto the field when his Elemental Burst is ready to prepare strong combos.
Ganyu is a good Ayaka replacement for such a team, Diona fills in for Shenhe, and Mona is an option instead of Kokomi if there’s a healer like Diona locked in.
This team composition feeds Main DPS Ayato with Electro and Pyro effects to trigger powerful reactions enhanced by Venti’s Swirls.
Yoimiya is another Main DPS character that easily reaches targets lifted by Venti. Combine with her a Sub DPS character that excels at supporting figures focused on standard attacks – instead of Xingqiu, this could also be Yelan or Candace, for example.
- Xiao (Main DPS), Venti (Sub DPS), Zhongli (Support), Bennett (Support).
Xiao is also a good candidate to build a team around Venti thanks to his jumping skills.
