Learn how to put together the best possible Sucrose build
Want to learn how to create the best Sucrose build in Genshin Impact?Anemo Catalyst user Sucrose is a bio-alchemist and the shy assistant of Albedo. Despite her timid personality, Anemo Catalyst user Sucrose is definitely not afraid to use her alchemical abilities in battle and serves as a 4-star substitute for 5-star Anemo characters likeVentiandKazuha— essentially, she’s a sub-DPS great at crowd control and applying the Swirl reaction.
This guide will show you how to create the best Sucrose build inGenshin Impact. Below we’ll cover everything you need to know about Sucrose, including wishing, weapons, artifacts, ascension materials, talents, abilities, and constellations.
Best Genshin Impact Sucrose build for sub-DPS
Best weapon: Skyward Atlas
Alternatives:Mappa Mare, Thrilling Tales of the Dragon Slayers
Best artifacts: Viridescent Venerer
Alternatives:Wanderer’s Troupe, Instructor
Not feeling up for the Viridescent Venerer set? TheWanderer’s Troupeset is also a nice option for Sucrose that will increase her Elemental Mastery and Charged Attack DMG. Finally, theInstructorkit is a much more attainable set that provides the same Elemental Mastery buff, though we’d recommend using the Viridescent Venerer set whenever possible.
When selecting stats for Sucrose’s artifacts, you’ll want to have a variety of Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, Anemo DMG Bonus, and ATK%. Sucrose’s kit will be improved greatly with the addition of any of these. Ideally, her artifact stats and substats should look something like this:
Talent priority: Astable Anemohypostasis Creation - 6308 (Elemental Skill)
All of Sucrose’s talents deal Anemo DMG and apply the Swirl reaction, meaning you don’t need to prioritize a certain one of her talents. Instead,try keeping the levels of Sucrose’s talents even. If you only have the resources to invest in one of her talents, invest in the one that you use the most, which will likely be herElemental Skillfirst if you’re using her as a sub-DPS. Here’s everything Sucrose can do in battle:
Party composition
5-star alternative:Diluc replacing Yanfei as DPS
Undoubtedly, Sucrose’s strongest combat move is her ability to inflict Swirl; which, in addition to sweeping up enemies for easier group attacks, is capable of spreading her teammates' Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro damage across the entire afflicted crowd as well. Therefore, Sucrose makes an excellent sub-DPS/support character for basically any DPS in possession of those elements. I’ve opted forDilucin this example, withYanfeias the 4-star alternative, to create a high-damage Pyro-led team; but you can absolutely feel free to sub in your best DPS (5-stars encouraged if you have any) whose element spreads in the Swirl. Sucrose is one of our favourite support characters in the game for this very reason, as she fits into almost any non-Geo-focussed team.
Xingqiu, like Sucrose, is one of the game’s absolute best 4-star sub-DPS/support characters. Furthermore, as a Hydro character, his element will react in the Swirl, which can be absolutely devastating alongside a DPS with Pyro/Cryo/Electro as their element. With Sucrose, Xingqiu, and a Pyro DPS on the team, you can frequently just drop all three of their elemental skills and then stand back and watch groups of enemies expire without even touching your normal weapons.
How to level up Sucrose in Genshin Impact
Ascension Materials
To fully ascend Sucrose, you’ll need:
Ascending Sucrose will require you to fight the Anemo Hypostasis, which will net you Vayuda Turquoise and Hurricane Seeds. You’ll also need to fight Whopperflowers around Teyvat for their Nectar. As for Windwheel Asters, head to the Statue of the Seven near Windrise to find plenty.
Talents
To fully level all three of Sucrose’s talents, you’ll need 9 Teachings of Freedom, 63 Guides to Freedom, 114 Philosophies of Freedom, 18 Whopperflower Nectar, 66 Shimmering Nectar, 93 Energy Nectar, 18 Spirit Lockets of Boreas, 3 Crowns of Insight, and 4,957,500 Mora. Per every one talent, that comes out to the following:
Constellations
Unlike many of Genshin’s stronger characters, Sucrose requires some Constellations to reach her full potential.Constellation 1andConstellation 6both add vital aspects to her build. UnlockingConstellation 4(which you’ll get anyway if you’re on your way to Constellation 6) is also a great move, as it drastically decreases her Elemental Skill’s cooldown period, giving her potential to deal massive amounts of damage. Long story short, if you’re planning on adding Sucrose to your team and want her to be at her best, be prepared to do some wishing. Here’s everything the alchemist’s Constellations have in store:
