The Archons that rule over Teyvat have been among the most popular characters in Genshin Impact since the game first launched. For the longest time, the community considered fun-loving Venti to be the best character in the game.

What makes an Archon unique in the game is that they tend to play based on the characteristics of their element. In Venti's case, this comes in the form of crowd control, sucking opponents in with the power of Anemo and lifting him into the air. That said, Venti offers a very different approach to supporting his teammates, so here are some of the best team compositions to suit Mondstadt's Archon.

In general, Anemo characters stand at the top of the roster for their crowd control capabilities. Naturally, for the top Anemo character among five-star characters in the game, Venti is well-known for his strong crowd control support. Of course, players will find building a DPS around the Anemo Archon's support abilities a good strategy.

In most tier-lists, Ganyu will reign on the top of the list as the queen of DPS. Granted, tier lists do need to be taken with a grain of salt, but it does paint a clear picture; Ganyu can be applied as a DPS in most teams, and Venti is not an exception. The partnership is distinct, with Venti bring opponents together while Ganyu hits them with her blossoming arrows.

In most cases, Rosaria is more alike to Ganyu than not: high scaled damage, good Cryo application, and better in the company of a crowd control specialist. Likewise, Rosaria will work with Venti in the same fashion, using her talents while Venti brings opponents together. In the end, Rosaria is a great alternative to Ganyu that is a little more accessible to free-to-play players.

Like Rosaria, Beidou offers a high damaging skill with a very narrow range. However, while the damage for Rosaria is flat regardless of being hit, Beidou must be hit before releasing her skill for max damage. To use Beidou to her full potential, Venti will be used to draw opponents together. This way, Beidou can both hit more opponents and have more opponents to hit her to increase her skill's effects.

The other unique quality of Anemo characters, swirl is an intense elemental reaction that occurs when Anemo meets Pyro, Cryo, Electro, or Hydro. Effectively, the reaction deals double damage, one as the talent's natural damage, and a second in the element added to the reaction. Naturally, for players looking to use Venti as a DPS, they are going to want to utilize this reaction in particular.

While Ganyu may be the best DPS for skilled tacticians, Diluc is another great DPS that is slightly easier to use. In a Venti team, players can utilize Diluc's environment-altering Pyro to maximize swirl damage in a very short amount of time. Not only this, but Venti can help with crowd control to make aiming easier with Diluc's burst.

Few characters are must-haves in Genshin Impact, however, this isn't the case for Xingqiu. Frankly speaking, Xingqiu can effectively be paired with near any DPS given that his Rain Blades can be transferred. Using his Rain Blades, Venti's swirl reactions can be enhanced even further than with just one element.

While Xingqiu's talent is transferable, Fischl's skill is automated. Arguably, this is far better for a swirl composition, as Electro status can be applied just before using Venti's skills. For best results, players should release Oz a few seconds before using Venti, perhaps using another character's skills in the in-between.

Some characters that benefit a Venti team composition will hold skills outside of utilizing crowd control or swirl damage. In most cases, these characters offer a skill that Venti does not, like damage boosting or healing, or help to counter a downside to Venti's skill set. Here are some of the best characters for a missing third slot in the team:

When looking among support characters, few master the role as much as Bennett. At least, Bennett is the most versatile member of the cast, featuring both damage boosts and healing. In this way, Bennett is used with Venti to create a kill-zone in combination with Venti's crowd control and swirl reactions (in addition to acting as the main healer.)

Where healing fails, good defense most rise to the occasion. This is what Zhongli brings to a Venti team composition, creating shielding to prevent both damage and unwanted interruptions. Of course, the increase in defense works to assist Venti and the main DPS of the team, which is more likely to take excessive amounts of damage.

Plunging damage is a notable part of the Anemo Archons gameplay. Few characters spend their time in the sky as much as Venti, and this is the benefit that he brings to Xiao. For most players, Xiao's image consists of high plunging damage and quick-paced assaults; Venti's talents will be used to help the Yaksha reach new heights to increase plunging damage. That said, due to the self-damaging effects of Xiao's talents, a good healer is an absolute must in this team composition.

To begin, Ganyu can be swapped with Diluc for similar damage output, but Diluc is a little bit easier to use for newer players. Diluc acts as the main DPS in this team set, using his fiery skills often to fuel Venti's swirl reactions.

Xingqiu is meant to boost the reactions even further, by using his Rain Blades to create vaporize reactions in addition to the swirl. Venti also acts as crowd control, so that the reactions are better transferred to all opponents in the area. Finally, Bennett is the ultimate support expert: boosting damage, providing for healing, as well as opening up the Pyro resonance that increases damage even further.
