2. 💨 Venti's Buffs in 6.2: Anemo Normal Attacks and Improved Passive
- ✅ Venti's normal attacks are infused with Anemo during the ultimate, piercing enemies and extending the duration of the ultimate by 2 seconds (1 second per attack, maximum 2 activations).
- ✅ The 'Eye of the Storm' passive increases Swirl damage by 50% and Venti's vortex damage by 35% (135% of original damage).
- ✅ The ultimate automatically places itself above an enemy's head, improving ease of use.
- ✅ Venti can now be played as a Main DPS/Driver thanks to the improvement of his normal attacks and damage bonuses.
- ✅ The 'Viridescent Venerer' set remains optimal for lowering enemy resistances.
- ✅ The 50% bonus can be activated by other Anemo DPS (Xiao, Wanderer, etc.) if Venti is in support.
- ⚠️ Faruzan C6 remains superior as an Anemo support, but Venti can be a viable alternative.
- ✅ Priority of talents: Ultimate > Normal Attacks (to level up to the same level as the skill).

3. ⚙️ Artifacts and Stats: DPS and Support Builds for Venti
- ✅ Full Anemo set (Viridescent Venerer) to increase team damage.
- ✅ 'Noblesse Oblige' or 'Scholar' set if associated with an Anemo DPS (to avoid redundancy of the Viridescent Venerer set).
- ✅ 'Desert Pavilion Chronicle' set for a DPS focus.
- ✅ Stats:
- ✅ Option 1: Three times Elemental Mastery to maximize Swirl damage.
- ✅ Option 2: Attack (sands), Anemo Damage Bonus (goblet), Crit Rate/Crit Damage (circlet).
- ✅ Energy Recharge: A little in sub-stat, depending on the team composition.

4. 🏹 Weapons: Optimal and Free-to-Play Options for Venti
- ✅ New Best in Slot (6.2): 'Ode to Dawn' (new character's bow) - gives Attack and Crit.
- ⚠️ The signature bow is not significantly more powerful than other 5-star bows (Polar Star, Thundering Pulse, Skyward Harp). The difference is 1 to 3% damage.
- ✅ Free-to-Play Options:
- ✅ Rust (refined 5).
- ✅ Slingshot (as a last resort).
- ✅ The Stringless (if Venti is played in full Elemental Mastery).
- ✅ Favonius Warbow (if the team needs energy recharge).

5. ✨ Improved Constellations of Venti: Impact on Gameplay and DPS
- ✅ C1: Adds two additional Anemo-infused arrows to normal attacks (approximately 15% damage increase).
- ✅ C2: Permanent Anemo and physical resistance reduction. The ultimate resets the skill's cooldown. Gains the 'when the breeze blows' effect (increases skill damage). 30% boost to overall damage.
- ✅ C4: Increases Venti's and the deployed character's Anemo damage bonus by 25%.
- ✅ C6: Further reduces enemies' resistance to Anemo. 100% critical damage bonus for Venti.
- ✅ Venti's damage doubles between C0 and C6.
- ✅ Constellations 2, 4, and 6 increase the damage of an Anemo DPS if Venti is in support.
09:05 - 09:46
6. ⭐ C1 vs Signature Weapon: Which Investment to Prioritize for Venti?
- ✅ If you already have good 5-star weapons, C1 is a better choice.
- ✅ C1 is particularly interesting if you are aiming for C2.
- ✅ Consider the 4-star characters on Venti's banner (e.g., Yaoyao) for additional constellations.

8. 🎯 Conclusion: Venti Buff 6.2 - An OK Choice, Not Exceptional

- ⚠️ Meta-focused players may not be interested, as he is not Best in Slot everywhere.
- ✅ Playable and performs well to clear content without difficulty.
- ✅ Recommended for Venti fans.
- ⚠️ The first passive (flight) has not been modified and remains useless.
- ✅ The damage increase and Venti's new role are a good buff, even if it's just 'OK, nothing more'.
