The best Sucrose build in Genshin Impact (Version 7.0) is Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers with Viridescent Venerer. Updated August 22, 2026

Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, artifact sets and stat priorities on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and rephrased. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the refinement and team its row states. Everything else — base stats, passive text, material totals — is read from the game’s own data.

Weapons

Artifacts

Viridescent Venerer artifact set | Genshin Impact
CoreViridescent Venerer

By far the best choice for Anemo Supports for its gigantic RES Shred provided the team’s primary damage source is an Element that can be Swirled. In other words, Pyro, Electro, Cryo, or Hydro.

2PCAnemo DMG Bonus +15%

4PCIncreases Swirl reaction DMG dealt by 60%, and Stellar Swirl reaction DMG dealt by 20%. Decreases opponent's Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s. Upon triggering a Stellar Swirl in the opponent, will also decrease their Cryo RES by 40%. RES debuffs of the same elemental type do not stack.

Main stats

Sands
Elemental Mastery / Energy RechargeAn Energy Recharge% Sands should only be used if Sucrose cannot otherwise meet her Energy Recharge requirements.
Goblet
Elemental Mastery
Circlet
Elemental Mastery / CRIT RateA CRIT Rate Circlet can be considered if Sucrose is using Favonius Codex and either she or the team rely on the particles it produces.

Substat priority

  1. 1EMBest

Sucrose’s Burst is often not necessary for her teams and thus she often exclusively focuses on building EM. If using Favonius Codex, some CRIT Rate should be built for reliable triggers. In cases where her Burst is required, she generally uses Burst every other rotation because of its 20s cooldown and high Energy cost. It is recommended to build around 160-180% when doing so.

Talent priority

  1. #1

    Level

    Max first

Sucrose’s Normals, Skill, and Burst, contribute nothing to her utility. She can forgo investing any talent resources and still work optimally for any team. Technically the only love Sucrose needs is some Levelling (until 60/70) to unlock her powerful Ascension passives.

Skill

Astable Anemohypostasis Creation - 6308

Creates a small Wind Spirit that pulls opponents and objects towards its location, launches opponents within its AoE, and deals Anemo DMG.

This is a little embarrassing, but though the elemental lifeforms birthed through this procedure dissipate very rapidly, they are incredibly useful when adventuring. Even failed experiments can have practical applications.

Burst

Forbidden Creation - Isomer 75 / Type II

Sucrose hurls an unstable concoction that creates a Large Wind Spirit. While it persists, the Large Wind Spirit will continuously pull in surrounding opponents and objects, launch nearby opponents, and deal Anemo DMG.

Elemental Absorption If the Wind Spirit comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro energy, it will deal additional elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.

Sucrose used to give names to her volatile Anemo Hypostases, but their line of heirs quickly grew to surpass Baron Bunny the 893rd.
