Genshin Impact Sucrose build — best weapons and team compositions

SUCROSE may be a shy alchemy student, but as a four-star rarity character with Anemo vision she’s one of the best options for Genshin Impact players.

She works well as Anemo support across a wide variety of team compositions.

Her abilities also provide crowd control, shred elemental resistances, and give big boosts to her teammates.

Here’s everything you need to know, if you want to get the best out of Sucrose in Genshin Impact.

Best weapons for Sucrose in Genshin Impact

The most important stat for Sucrose is her Elemental Mastery in order to boost the reactions she triggers as much as possible.

As she needs to use her Elemental Burst as often as possible, she also needs the boost given from strong Energy Recharge.

The best weapon for Sucrose is the four-star catalyst Sacrificial Fragments. 

This weapon provides Elemental Mastery as a primary attribute, and has the benefit of a 40 percent chance to skip the cooldown of abilities after dealing damage.

If you don’t have this catalyst, these are other good options for Sucrose:

• Skyward Atlas (five-Star catalyst) – increases attack, elemental damage, and produces a damaging effect.
• Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (three-star catalyst) – increases HP, and attack temporarily.
• Mappa Mare (four-star catalyst) – increases Elemental Mastery, and elemental damage.

Best artifacts for Sucrose in Genshin Impact

A full set of Viridescent Venerer is a great choice for Sucrose.

This artifact increases Anemo damage by 15 percent with just two pieces equipped. 

From four pieces onwards, triggered swirls cause 60 percent more damage, which will weaken enemies’ resistance to the element that was absorbed by the swirl.

Breaking resistances is one of Sucrose’s best abilities, as it helps up the team’s damage output.

If you don’t have the complete set, you can equip pieces of Wanderer’s Troupe.

This increases Elemental Mastery by 80 points. However, you should always try to work towards a complete set of Viridescent Venerer.

The following distribution of stats is ideal for Sucrose:

• Plume: Attack (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Attack %, Energy Recharge, Critical Damage (sub stats).
• Flower: HP (main stat), Elemental Mastery, Attack %, Energy Recharge, Critical Hit Rate (sub stats).
• Sands: Elemental Mastery (main stat), Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Energy Recharge, Attack % (sub stats).
• Goblet: Elemental Mastery (main stat), Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Energy Recharge, Attack % (sub stats).
• Circlet: Elemental Mastery (main stat), Critical Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Energy Recharge, Attack % (sub stats).
