Genshin Impact’s Itto is ‘the man’. Also known as Arataki ‘the one and oni’ Itto, or Arataki ‘he might lose but he’ll never admit defeatto’ (all his words, not ours), he’s a larger-than-life five-star geo claymore wielder, with a huge personality and a competitive spirit that never fails to get him in trouble.

If you’re having trouble picking your line-up, be sure to check out our Genshin Impact tier list, then pick up some Genshin Impact codes and take a look at the next Genshin Impact banner. You should also head over to our article on Genshin Impact’s Ms Hina to catch up on all the spicy details of how this awesome oni is tied to the puppy general, Genshin Impact’s Gorou.

Anyway, here’s everything you need to know about the one and oni himself, in our guide to the best Genshin Impact Itto build.

What’s the best Genshin Impact Itto build?

Arataki Itto is best suited as a main DPS, and is brilliant against bosses and mobs. He has a high base crit rate, the potential to taunt enemies, and his elemental burst increases his overall DPS to some tasty heights.

Though his charged attacks take some set-up to maximise their damage, when used well they are extremely powerful. His main drawback is the high cost for his elemental burst, but with some well-chosen artifacts, even that melts away in no time. Pairing him with Genshin Impact’s Gorou and Genshin Impact’s Albedo will buff his overall damage and make him a true force to be reckoned with. Find out more in the team comp section below.

What are Genshin Impact Itto’s best weapons?

The best weapon for Itto has to be the Redhorn Stonethresher, a five-star claymore that increases defence, and normal and charged attack damage based on defence. With his tankiness and the already high impact of his charged attack when imbued with superlative superstrength, this beauty will make Itto a damage-dealing machine.

However, the Redhorn Stonethresher can only be pulled on the gacha banner (with a couple of prayers to the RNG archons), so Whiteblind or Serpent Spine are both suitable replacements, which can be forged or earnt through the battle pass respectively.

Weapon Effect (level one) How to obtain
Redhorn Stonethresher Increases crit damage by 19.2%. Increases defence by 28%. Normal and charged attack damage is increased by 40% of defence Gacha banner
Whiteblind Increases defence by 11.3%. On hit, normal or charged attacks increase attack and defence by 6% for six seconds, for a maximum of four stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.5 seconds Forged at the blacksmith
Serpent Spine Increases crit rate by 6%. Every four seconds that Itto is on the field, he will deal 6% more damage and take 3% more damage, for a maximum of five stacks. These stacks won’t be reset if he leaves the field, but will be reduced by one stack when he takes damage Battle pass reward
Skyward Pride Increases energy recharge by 8%, and all damage by 8%. When one of Itto’s elemental burst, normal, or charged attacks hit an enemy, it creates a vacuum blade that does 80% of attack as damage to enemies along its path. Lasts for 20 seconds or eight vacuum blades Gacha

What are Genshin Impact Itto’s best artifacts?

As with any character in Genshin Impact, you can equip Itto with a maximum of five artifacts. Husk of Opulent Dreams is the top pick, as it is tailor-made for defence-scaling geo characters, buffing both Itto’s defence and geo damage.

However, as the Husk of Opulent Dreams is five-star, it might be a little hard to get your hands on a full set, so we’ve offered some alternatives below.

Artifact Effect How to obtain
Husk of Opulent Dreams Two equipped: increases defence by 30%
Four equipped: Itto obtains the curiosity effect. When in the field, he will gain one stack of curiosity after hitting an enemy with a geo attack, triggering a maximum of once every 0.3 seconds. When off the field, he gains one stack every three seconds. Curiosity can stack up to four times, with each stack providing a bonus 6% defence and 6% geo damage. For every 6 seconds that pass without gaining a new curiosity stack, one stack is lost

What are Genshin Impact Itto’s abilities?

To make the most of Itto’s abilities, your top priority is to collect stacks superlative superstrength. As mentioned in the skill descriptions below, you get these through hitting opponents with normal attacks or by using his elemental skill. You can gather a maximum of five stacks, and stacks are signified by a translucent golden oni mask that hovers around him. The bigger the mask, the higher the stacks.

Unleashing a charged attack when you’ve got multiple stacks of superlative superstrength deals heaps of damage – be sure to utilise it. It may take a little while to get used to, but it’ll become second nature in time, and makes Itto a truly formidable DPS.

Active skills:

Skill Effect
Normal attack: Fight Club Legend Normal: Itto performs up to four consecutive strikes. When the second and fourth strikes hit opponents, Itto with gain one or two stacks of superlative superstrength, for a maximum of five stacks. Triggering this effect refreshes the current duration of any existing stacks. Additionally, Itto’s normal attack combo does not immediately reset after springing or using his elemental skill
Charged: Itto unleashes a series of Arataki Kesagiri slashes without consuming stamina – instead, each slash consumes one stack of superlative superstrength. Upon consuming the final stack, Itto delivers a powerful final slash. If no stacks are available, Itto performs a single Saichimonji Slash
Plunge: plunge from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE damage on impact
Elemental skill: Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst! Itto hurls Ushi, the young akaushi bull and auxiliary member of the Arataki Gang, dealing geo damage to opponents on hit. When Ushi hits opponents, Itto gains one stack of superlative superstrength. Holding the attack allows you to adjust the throwing angle.
Ushi remains on the field to provide support in the following ways:

  • Taunts surrounding enemies
  • When Ushi takes damage, Itto gains one stack of superlative superstrength every two seconds
  • Inherits HP based on a percentage of Itto’s max HP
  •  Grants Itto an additional stack of superlative superstrength when it leaves
Elemental burst: Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil! Itto lets out his inner Raging Oni King, wielding his Oni King’s Kanabou in battle.

  • Converts Itto’s normal, charged, and plunging attacks to geo damage (cannot be overridden)
  •  Increases Itto’s normal attack speed
  • Increases Itto’s attack based on his defence
  • The first and third combos of his normal attack will grant Itto superlative superstrength stacks when it hits opponents
  •  Itto’s elemental and physical resistance is cleared by 20%

    These effects clear when he stops performing consecutive slashes
Bloodline of the Crimson Oni Arataki Kesagiri damage is increased by 35% of itto’s defence

What are the best Genshin Impact Itto team comps?

Itto synergises well with other geo characters, and benefits greatly from geo resonance. We recommend putting him in a team with three other geo characters, then one flex. Here are some characters he synergises well with:

Pretty much every Itto team deserves a good Gorou, as his buffs from his skill and burst do wonders for Itto’s overall DPS. When using Gorou and Itto’s bursts together, be sure to allow Itto at least one tick in Gorou’s Juuga field before procking Royal Descent, as it snapshots and you want it to hit the frame with the highest damage. This is easier to see if you have Gorou at C4, as you can hit Itto’s ult as soon as he receives one tick of healing.

Here’s an example of a strong Itto team comp:

First character slot Second  character slot Third  character slot Fourth  character slot
Itto Gorou Albedo Flex slot

If you have a C4 or higher Gorou on your team, you don’t need another healer on the team, so you can fill the flex slot with Fischl for some extra off-field damage and crystalize reactions. Alternatively, you can fill the slot with Diona, who offers shields, heals, and buffs. Albedo or geo Traveler make for great geo batteries, allowing Itto to recharge his burst much quicker.

And that’s everything we have on Genshin Impact’s Itto. If you need a break from Mihoyo’s title, be sure to check out our picks for the best mobile RPGs to see what other adventures are out there.
