So, you're looking to add the Anemo Archon, Venti, to your Genshin Impact team, huh? Well, you've come to the right place! Venti, also known as Barbatos, is one of the most sought-after characters in the game, and for good reason. His crowd control abilities are absolutely amazing, making him a valuable asset in almost any team composition. But how exactly do you get your hands on this five-star wonder? Let's dive into the details, step by step.

Understanding Venti and His Value

Before we get into the "how," let's quickly recap why Venti is so desirable. Venti is an Anemo (wind) character who wields a bow. What sets him apart is his Elemental Skill, Skyward Sonnet, and his Elemental Burst, Wind's Grand Ode. Skyward Sonnet launches enemies into the air and allows Venti to ride the wind current created, giving him a tactical advantage in combat and exploration. Wind's Grand Ode creates a massive vortex that sucks in enemies, dealing continuous Anemo damage. This is especially useful against groups of enemies, making challenging encounters significantly easier. Furthermore, Wind's Grand Ode absorbs other elements (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Cryo), dealing additional elemental damage of that type. This makes Venti incredibly versatile, synergizing well with many other characters. Beyond combat, Venti is also a fantastic explorer. His Elemental Skill helps traverse the world more quickly, reaching high places and crossing gaps with ease. This is invaluable for collecting Oculi and exploring otherwise inaccessible areas. His passive talents further enhance his exploration capabilities, reducing gliding stamina consumption for your entire party. All these factors contribute to Venti's high demand and make him a top-tier character in Genshin Impact. So, with all that in mind, let’s discuss the ways you can try and get Venti for yourself.

Wishing: The Primary Method of Obtaining Venti

The main way to get Venti in Genshin Impact is through the Wish system, specifically when he's featured on a character event banner. Here's the breakdown:

Character Event Banners

Genshin Impact uses a gacha system, meaning you obtain characters and weapons through "wishing" on banners. These banners rotate periodically, and certain five-star characters, like Venti, will have increased drop rates when they are featured on a character event banner. When Venti is featured, this is your best chance to obtain him. Character event banners typically last for a couple of weeks, so you'll want to make sure you're ready to wish when his banner is active. Keep an eye on Genshin Impact's official announcements to know when Venti's banner will be available.

How to Wish

To wish on a banner, you'll need Primogems, the game's premium currency. You can convert Primogems into Acquaint Fate or Intertwined Fate, depending on the banner. Character event banners require Intertwined Fate. Each wish costs one Fate, which is equivalent to 160 Primogems. You can perform single wishes, or you can do a "10-pull," which consumes 10 Fates at once. Doing 10-pulls is often recommended, as it can be more efficient and increase your chances of getting a four-star or five-star character or weapon.

The Pity System

Genshin Impact has a pity system in place to guarantee that you'll eventually get a high-rarity item. The pity system works as follows:

• Four-Star Pity: You are guaranteed to receive at least one four-star character or weapon every 10 wishes.
• Five-Star Pity: You are guaranteed to receive a five-star character or weapon within 90 wishes. This is often referred to as "hard pity."

Additionally, there's a soft pity that seems to kick in around 75 wishes, where your chances of getting a five-star character or weapon increase significantly. However, this soft pity is not officially confirmed by miHoYo, but many players have observed this pattern. If you're wishing on a character event banner, there's a 50% chance that the five-star character you get will be the featured character (in this case, Venti). If you don't get Venti on your first five-star pull, the next five-star character you get is guaranteed to be the featured character. This is known as "guaranteed pity."

Preparing for Venti's Banner

Okay, so you know you need to wish to get Venti. But how do you prepare to maximize your chances? Here's what you should do:

Save Primogems

This is the most crucial step. Start saving Primogems as early as possible. Avoid spending them on banners unless you really want the characters or weapons featured. Focus on accumulating as many Primogems as you can before Venti's banner arrives. This could mean skipping banners you're not particularly interested in and exercising patience. Trust me, your future self will thank you when Venti's banner is live.

Complete Daily Commissions

Daily Commissions are a reliable source of Primogems. Each day, you'll receive four commissions, and completing all of them rewards you with 60 Primogems. It may not seem like much, but over time, it adds up. Make it a habit to complete your daily commissions every day to steadily build up your Primogem stash.

Participate in Events

Genshin Impact regularly hosts events that offer generous rewards, including Primogems. These events can range from combat challenges to story-driven quests. Be sure to participate in all available events to maximize your Primogem income. Keep an eye on Genshin Impact's official channels for announcements about upcoming events and their rewards.

Clear Spiral Abyss Floors

The Spiral Abyss is a challenging dungeon that resets periodically, offering Primogems as rewards for clearing floors. The higher you climb, the more Primogems you'll earn. Even if you can't clear all the floors, try to progress as far as you can to collect as many Primogems as possible. Focus on building strong teams and developing effective strategies to tackle the Spiral Abyss.

Exploration and Achievements

Genshin Impact's world is full of secrets and hidden treasures. Exploring new areas, opening chests, and completing achievements can reward you with Primogems. Take some time to explore the world and uncover its hidden gems. Look for chests in remote locations, complete world quests, and unlock achievements to earn extra Primogems. Every little bit helps when you're trying to save up for a specific character.

Other (Less Reliable) Methods

While wishing on Venti's character event banner is the primary way to obtain him, there are a few other methods, although they are less reliable:

Starglitter Exchange

When you wish on a banner and receive a character or weapon you already own, you'll receive Masterless Starglitter. You can exchange Masterless Starglitter in the shop for various items, including Intertwined Fate. This allows you to indirectly convert duplicate characters and weapons into wishes for Venti's banner. However, the amount of Starglitter you receive is limited, so this method is not a primary source of Fates. It's more of a supplementary way to acquire a few extra wishes.

Stardust Exchange

Similar to Starglitter, you can also exchange Masterless Stardust for Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate in the shop. Stardust is obtained from wishing on banners and receiving three-star weapons. However, the amount of Stardust you receive is even more limited than Starglitter, so this method is not a reliable way to obtain a significant number of wishes. It's more of a way to use up excess Stardust that you've accumulated over time.

Final Thoughts and Tips

Getting Venti in Genshin Impact requires patience, planning, and a bit of luck. Save your Primogems diligently, participate in events, and make use of the pity system. While there's no guaranteed way to get him on your first few wishes, with enough preparation, you'll significantly increase your chances of adding this incredible character to your team. Good luck, and may Barbatos bless your pulls!

• Venti is obtained through the Wish system, specifically on character event banners.
• Save Primogems by completing daily commissions, participating in events, and clearing Spiral Abyss floors.
