Playstyle
Venti is considered the king of crowd control because of his elemental burst. His elemental burst Wind’s Grand Ode fires off an arrow that creates a huge Stormeye. The Stormeye sucks in opponents and deals continuous Anemo damage. If the Stormeye comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional elemental swirl DMG. Because of his powerful burst, Venti is widely used in different teams and one of the most used characters in Spiral Abyss.
Venti’s elemental skill Skyward Sonnet is great for exploration because holding it down will cause Venti to glide. In combat, it can launch enemies up in the air as well as generate a lot of energy particles.
