On this page of our Genshin Impact you can find everything that you need to know about Itto, a hero of Geo element. Here you'll find some basic information about the character, what roles in the party he is suited for, how to build him correctly, and in what team compositions he will be efficient the most.
General information
Itto is a 5-star hero of Geo element fighting with a Claymore. He is most useful as Main DPS in all-Geo teams. Not only his damage dealing potential is very high - he also has high survivability as his ATK scales with DEF.
Developing this character correctly means focusing on improving DEF%, Geo DMG, CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate.
Best team compositions
- Geo Sub DPS - Itto / Gorou / Albedo / Diona
- Geo Sub DPS - Itto / Gorou / Albedo / Zhongli
Geo Main DPS Build
Playing Itto correctly means dealing as much damage as possible, and for this you need to use Charged Attack often. This is not the end - his first and fourth normal attack, Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst apply Superlative Superstrength stacks that are spent with Charged Attack, making it even more powerful.
- Artifacts - 4x Husk of Opulent Dreams / 4x Retracing Bolide
- Weapons - Redhorn Stonethresher / Serpent Spine
Since Itto has immense bonuses from high DEF in the form of additional ATK, first artifact pick has to be 4x Husk of Opulent Dreams. 2-piece bonus results in +30% DEF, and 4-piece bonus means a special effect - Curosity. You can receive 1 stack of it after dealing damage with Geo, and this effect can occur every 0.3 seconds. If Itto is away from the field, one stack is gained every 3 seconds. You can stack the effect up to 4 times. Each stack guarantees 6% DEF and 6% Geo DMG Bonus. If six seconds elapse without adding a new stack, one of active stacks will disappear.
Alternatively, if you have a team that can hold Shield for longer periods of time, you can consider equipping 4x Retracing Bolide. 2-piece bonus increases Shield Strength by 35%, and with x4, while protected by a shield, you gain an additional 40% Normal and Charged Attack DMG.
When it comes to weapons, Redhorn Stonethresher is thoroughly recommended. Weapon bonus effect gives 19.2% to Crit DMG. Additionally, a hero that has this weapon equipped has his DEF increased by 28%, and considering that Itto's gains additional ATK with high DEF, this will considerably increase your damage-dealing potential. Finally, the weapon skill makes Normal and Charged attacks DMG increase by 40% of DEF. Currently, there isn't a better weapon for Itto.
However, if you don't have Redhorn Stonethresher, you can alternatively use a 4-star weapon that is available after buying Battle Pass and reaching level 30 of it. We're talking about Serpent Spine. The weapon bonus improves CRIT Rate. Moreover, for every 4 seconds that Itto spends on the battlefield, he receives one stack in form of an orbiting sword (up to 5 swords/stacks). Each stack makes you receive 3% more DMG, but in return, Itto will deal 6% DMG more. When struck by an opponent, one stack will disappear, but they are maintained if the hero leaves the field.
Talents
Talents are special abilities divided into Combat and Passive categories. In the case of Itto, you should focus on developing these Talents in this order:
- Geo Main DPS - Fight club Legend, Royal Descent: Behold Itto the Evil!, Masatus Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!
Constellations
As a 5-star hero, Itto deals immense amounts of damage even on C0. If you are going for a all-Geo team, Itto's C2 is suited for such a team composition. With C2, after Itto uses Elemental Burst, every team member of Geo element has their Elemental Burst cooldown reduced by 1.5 seconds and Itto replenishes 6 Energy. As a result, this constellation will make rotation easier and help Mono Geo or Triple Geo compositions.
