Looking for a great Genshin Impact Itto build? The Oni gang leader is back for a banner re-run, alongside the new Electro hero,Kuki Shinobu. Arataki Itto isn’t a slouch—except in the delinquent aspects of his character. Just asKokomiwas a super-Barbara, Itto is kind of a super-Noelle. He doesn’t have the maid knight’s shields or healing, but he does have the same defense-based attack buff for his burst state, as well as Geo infusion.
Like Noelle, this makes him pretty easy to build, and with the Geo-focused artifact set from theSlumbering Courtdomain, he’s set to be a strong addition to any team, especially if you run him with Gorou. In this Genshin Impact Itto build guide, I’ll give you the usual details in regards to abilities and ascension materials, but also a theorycrafted build for the five-star Geo character.
Builds
The best Genshin Impact Itto build
Arataki Itto’s real strength is his normal and charged attacks and how he buffs them with stacks of Superlative Superstrength and the Raging Oni King state he gains from his burst.
Geo DPS
As usual, the best weapon for Itto is the five-star claymore that’s dropping alongside him. The Redhorn Stonethresher is a pretty straightforward weapon, boosting defense by 28% and normal and charged attack damage by 40% of defense. Considering the attack buff from Itto’s burst is also based on defense, this should help him deal some impressive damage.
A good alternative four-star claymore would probably be Whiteblind, since it also increases defense, and when you land a normal or charged attack, boosts both attack and defense by 6% for six seconds, stacking up to four times. Whiteblind is also a decent free-to-play weapon as you can forge and refine it yourself.
The Husk of Opulent Dreams is one of the two new artifact sets that were introduced inGenshin Impact 2.3. While the other set is made for healers, this one was basically made for Itto. First, it boosts defense by 30% for two-pieces, which further adds to Itto’s burst attack buff, and for four-pieces it introduces a stackable called Curiosity.

You get Curiosity by hitting characters with Geo attacks, which synergises well with Itto’s burst. It can also be gained every three seconds that a character is off the field. Curiosity grants a 6% bonus to defense and Geo damage for every stack up to four, but a stack will dissipate every six seconds you don’t gain one. As you’d imagine, even more defense and Geo damage, makes Itto even stronger.
