Arataki Itto is one of the many Claymore-wielding Main DPS characters in Genshin Impact . His gameplay revolves around gaining Superlative Superstrength stacks that you can consume to perform special types of Charged Attacks that deal significant damage. You can have up to five Superlative Superstrength stacks at a time, and you can gain them via the following ways:
- By using the second and fourth Normal Attacks of his Normal Attack combo. If his Elemental Burst is active, the first and third hits will also generate the stacks.
- When Ushi deals damage, gets attacked, or leaves the field.
Itto’s Elemental Skill is also quite amazing. It summons his companion Ushi to the field, who counts as a Geo construct. It can deal damage to enemies and taunt them into attacking it. Lastly, when it comes to his Elemental Burst, it provides him with Geo infusion while increasing his ATK SPD. However, do note that his elemental and physical RES will be decreased during this period.
How to Play Arataki Itto
Here’s how to effectively use Itto in the game:
- Upon taking the field, cast your Elemental Burst to obtain Geo infusion on Normal and Charged Attacks.
- Follow it up with his Elemental Skill to summon Ushi to the field.
- Use Normal Attacks to gain Superlative Superstrength stacks. Any time you gather five of them, as denoted by glowing golden orbs beside Itto, use Charged Attacks to perform the special Arataki Kesagiri slashes.
