Venti, Sucrose or Kazuha? (Genshin Impact 2.6 Character Comparison)

Alright, so Venti's rerun in Genshin Impact 2.6 is tomorrow, and this video basically explains if you should pull for him, save for Kazuha, or if Sucrose is enough.

This video wasn't supposed to take 3 hours to edit lmao, I still have to revise for my exams that are coming very soon ;-;
PS the gliding race thing took 30 minutes to render; my computer really can't handle that much jesus. I had to render that separately first :/
Anyway if you're questioning how accurate the gliding race is, it's accurate enough, and even though the values I put on screen when they finished are not accurate, they are just relative comparisons if that makes sense, though then again, since the distance to Inazuma is so far away, the angle theta would be so small that it wouldn't actually make a big difference.

For the Hu Tao buffing thing, I think I know why my results were different to what I said before. The reason was because the last time I did CA "nukes" with Hu Tao was when she had a build with 314 elemental mastery, so in that case, Sucrose giving more elemental mastery resulted in diminshing returns compared to Kazuha. However in the clip, I had 100 less EM, so Sucrose buffed my Hu Tao more.
tl;dr Sucrose vs Kazuha is VERY situational and you might need to test before actually deciding who's better... although the damage difference would be very small anyway.

Oh well, I hope you enjoyed the video, and do subscribe if you enjoyed this :3
(oh yeah i also forgot to add pop sound effects oops)

Johan's comment chain:

"I think u mistook things a little.

Venti is best for cc, but sucrose isnt actually best for buff.
Sucrose lacks partywide effective buffs and and relies on ttds and reactions.
This heavily limits her team comps when compared to kazuha so i wouldnt say shes the better buffer.
"u are talking about single man buffing.
Im talking about buffing full team. Just buffing one person doesnt make sucrose better since kazuha can buff full team.
"It does matter even if ur not playing quickswap.
Freeze, hyper, international everything performs better with kazuha.
U should mention sucrose has taser which is widely considered one of the best comps. Sucrose can battery xiao. And sucrose “can” perform similarly to kazuha in international and hutao but that has a lot of nuance to it. The easiest way to check suc vs kazuha for international would be run a sim.
In my case kazuha is 21 percent better but this isn’t necessarily the case for everyone."

Sucrose with ttds is better for melt and vapes amplification strictly but comps like international has a lot of vape downtime, kazuha has a lot of additional dps and stuff like that, also em and elemental dmg work differently.

Run sims on kqms sim
Site to test which will be better in ur case."

I always say that kazuha isnt a must pull but a very good unit to have. honestly anemo chars is very versatile and fun to use.

Reasons to pull:
Venti- Best cc for mobs( not good for bigger enemies). very good for freeze team, energy refund, good for exploration and co-op exploration, vv shred, likable personality
Sucrose- ttds, higher buff for reaction team than kazuha but more technical and wasted if you mess up, decent cc (knocks away bigger enemies sometimes), good battery, vvshred, cute girl
Jean- yeeting enemies, instant healing, sunfire jean, very pretty, good sub dps, vv shred, can be use as battery
Sayu- healing is good, best for exploration too and gathering crystalfly, vv shred, nice for racing, i think sayu can be use as battery too
Xiao- aoe dmg dps, very cool, e skill is very cool to use.

Kazuha- on the other hand have many utilities but not the best in it. he have good cc for short period of time but spammable (can pull bigger enemies), short e skill cd, can be par or beat sucrose if he double swirl (he buffs every element he swirl), best for mono element team, personal dmg is good for sub dps, vv shred element he swirls, he can be dps but need higher investment. not good as battery so not good support for xiao. Cant be good support to geo and phys team only role is cc and sub dps.

sucrose and venti suffers a lot because of the bad autotargetting in the game. This is also the advantage of kazuha/xiao/jean/sayu.

Overall you can't go wrong with anemo supports. Having anemo char on both side of abyss is also good. hope this helps.

So Sucrose is better than both venti and kazuha in a reaction team like taser, Venti is that one character where you wanna delete everything, Kazuha is the buffer of the team when you don’t have Bennett but realize that he’s your child/god.

[LarginMoralesIgnacio]

Kazuha is good in overall exploration AIR and LAND.
AIR (ability to press E multiple times as long as he is still in mid air) and;
LAND (with his passive 20% stamina reduction).
Even with CLIMBING lol

[aru]

Kazuha may be objectively better in every way but Venti go brrrr

[harryvpn]

After thinking a lot and a lot I ended up pulling venti on my confirmed 50/50, I'm looking to have fun now instead of waiting 2 or more months to have fun

[imjetter]

Tbh I just want kazuha so I could use the thing with campfire, swish swish!

[aufi]

Yes very nice video but which one is the best for lisa?

[artophile]

I have to clear the abyss so I need some CC characters. I got carried away on venti banner due to sucrose and venti. But I want Kazuha. I'm f2p so I definitely can't get all three of them, so what do I do?

[nxef_]

Can I ask why people put kazuha or venti in teams? and what intersting about SWIRL ?

[crvyhso]

Kazuha is the most overrated unit in genshin, and a new player who doesn't understand the game will be mislead by the kazuha simps. A properly built sucrose is on par, or better than c0 kazuha in most comps, especially if running iron sting. C2 Jean is also better than c0 kazuha also in many cases (such as meta comps like hyper raiden). Venti is... I hate to say, but he's not a great character like he used to be. He's probably the fourth best anemo atm, and I wouldn't recommend pulling for him.
