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.

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.
Sucrose’s Skill can be animation cancelled with either a Dash or Jump, with the Wind Spirit still attacking after its short delay. However, swapping immediately after a Dash-cancelled Skill can result in Sucrose not being on-field when the hit occurs if executed perfectly. This means effects that require Sucrose to be on-field to trigger, like Viridescent Venerer, will not be applied in such cases.
There is also a bug on her first Normal (referred to here with N1) where it can randomly whiff with no attack coming out if spam clicking the Normal Attack button. This does not occur if only using one click to cast her N1.
Rotation and combos from the prydwen.gg guide, rephrased
Beidou plays sub DPS in this Electro-Charged team built around Sucrose, with Fischl (sub DPS) and Xingqiu (sub DPS). Fischl and Beidou give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). Beidou shields the team.
Jahoda plays support in this Lunar Charged team built around Sucrose, with Xingqiu (sub DPS) and Ineffa (support). Sucrose and Jahoda give Anemo resonance (Impetuous Winds: stamina use −15%, movement speed +10%, skill cooldowns −5%). Jahoda heals, Ineffa shields.
Sucrose carries this Lunar Charged team as main DPS, with Xingqiu (sub DPS), Fischl (sub DPS) and Ineffa (support). Fischl and Ineffa give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). Ineffa shields the team.
Sucrose plays support in this Vaporize team built around Klee, with Furina (sub DPS) and Bennett (support). Klee and Bennett give Pyro resonance (Fervent Flames: ATK +25%). Furina and Bennett heal.
Sucrose plays support in this Lunar Bloom team built around Nefer, with Lauma (support) and Aino (support). Nefer and Lauma give Dendro resonance (Sprawling Greenery: Elemental Mastery +50, more after Dendro reactions). None of the four is a healer or a shielder, so the team leans on dodging or on a lead with built-in sustain.
Sucrose plays support in this Aggravate team built around Clorinde, with Fischl (sub DPS) and Nahida (sub DPS). Clorinde and Fischl give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). Clorinde heals.
Genshin Impact 4★ Anemo Catalyst Main DPS
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers tops the weapon ranking for Sucrose at R5, ahead of A Thousand Floating Dreams, Favonius Codex and Wandering Evenstar. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.
Run Viridescent Venerer on Sucrose, with Instructor and Deepwood Memories behind it. Main stats are Elemental Mastery / Energy Recharge sands, Elemental Mastery goblet, Elemental Mastery / CRIT Rate circlet. Roll substats in the order EM.
Talent priority is character level only, no talent levels. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Sucrose, Fischl, Beidou and Xingqiu, built around Sucrose: Electro · Electro-Charged.
Sucrose's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Vivid Notions is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star catalyst with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Royal Grimoire is the best 4-star alternative.
Desert Pavilion Chronicle. Its 2-piece bonus is: Anemo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When Charged Attacks hit opponents, the equipping character's Normal Attack SPD will increase by 10% while Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will increase by 40% for 15s.
