Build notes
Beyond the Chrysalis is her signature and the first pick. Whitelake Frostfeather, Absolution and Azurelight are the five-star alternatives, Finale of the Deep the four-star one. The version's new event weapon and new wish weapon also fit; neither is in the database yet.
Also works
2PC ATK% Combinations: A worse but easier to assemble placeholder option to Scarlet Proof.
While 2000 ATK takes priority over other stats for Vesna, this requirement is often trivial to obtain and it is subsequently outdone by CRIT stats after this. Vesna forgoes building ER if her ER requirements are above 130%, instead opting to Burst every other rotation while focusing on offensive substats instead.
How much Energy Recharge Vesna needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.

Most of Vesna’s DMG comes from her special Elemental Skills. While her Burst does do good damage and is a decent secondary consideration, most of its value comes from its Sword Essence generation which does not scale with talent Levels.
Simple Combo
E EE Q/N3C E 2[N3C E]
Vesna’s default combo, expending stacks whenever they are gained and using N3C to build 1 stack at a time. Her Elemental Burst is used if available, else substituted by an N3C to build the requisite Sword Essence stack.
Animation Cancel Combo
E N1C E N1C E Q E N1C E N1C E
A more advanced combo, using N1C to build half a stack at a time while saving the Sword Essence stacks from her initial Skill cast to animation cancel the additional Charged Attacks. A ~7% improvement, but is more stamina-intensive than the N3C combo.

Rotation and combos from the prydwen.gg guide, rephrased
Winter's Farewell Feast
When in the Armed for Action mode, Vesna can unleash Windborne Sword at the highest level 4 times instead of 3. Also, each time she enters the Armed for Action mode, she will not consume Sword Essence the first time she uses Windborne Sword at the highest level. Additionally, Vesna deals 20% increased Stellar Swirl reaction DMG when in the Armed for Action mode.
Kolo of Spring's Arrival
The Passive Talent Rite of Spring's Procession is enhanced as follows: when Vesna enters the Armed for Action mode, she will gain the max number of Disciplinary Action stacks. When Vesna's Disciplinary Action stack count is at max, her ATK is increased by 60%. You must unlock the Passive Talent "Rite of Spring's Procession" to gain access to the above effects.
Unwavering Ardor
Tapping on Normal Attach or Elemental Skill in the 5s after Vesna uses Windborne Sword at its highest level will unleash the secret Vila ability Windborne Sword: Transpose, dealing Anemo DMG at 150% of Vesna's ATK as well as summoning a Spirit Blade which deals an additional instance of Anemo DMG at 200% of Vesna's ATK. If Vesna is in the Armed for Action mode, she will also summon a wind pinion to perform Coordinated Attacks against opponents. Additionally, Vesna's Stellar Swirl reaction DMG dealt is elevated by 20%.
C1 adds a second Windborne Sword, C2 raises the ATK every Marvelous Splendor stack gives, and C6 is the one that changes how the rotation is played. Every constellation Vesna has, in full, is on the Constellations tab. This is only which of them are worth the wishes.
Anemo carry whose passive turns Cryo Swirl into Stellar Swirl: Odette keeps Cryo on the field for her to swirl, Vodyanitsa heals and buffs off HP, and Sucrose adds Elemental Mastery and grouping.
The free version of the Stellar Swirl team: Qiqi for Cryo and healing, the Cryo Traveler for a second Cryo source, Sucrose for Elemental Mastery.
Vesna carries this Stellar Swirl team as main DPS, with Odette (support), Vodyanitsa (support) and Qiqi (support). Odette and Qiqi give Cryo resonance (Shattering Ice: CRIT Rate +15% against Frozen or Cryo-affected enemies). Vodyanitsa and Qiqi heal.
Vesna carries this Stellar Swirl team as main DPS, with Odette (support), Vodyanitsa (support) and Faruzan (support). Vesna and Faruzan give Anemo resonance (Impetuous Winds: stamina use −15%, movement speed +10%, skill cooldowns −5%). Vodyanitsa heals.
Vesna carries this Stellar Swirl team as main DPS, with Odette (support), Vodyanitsa (support) and Nicole (support). Vodyanitsa heals, Nicole shields.
Vesna carries this Stellar Swirl team as main DPS, with Odette (support), Faruzan (support) and Cryo Traveler (sub DPS). Vesna and Faruzan give Anemo resonance (Impetuous Winds: stamina use −15%, movement speed +10%, skill cooldowns −5%). Odette and Cryo Traveler give Cryo resonance (Shattering Ice: CRIT Rate +15% against Frozen or Cryo-affected enemies). None of the four is a healer or a shielder, so the team leans on dodging or on a lead with built-in sustain.
Genshin Impact 5★ Anemo Sword Main DPS
Beyond the Chrysalis tops the weapon ranking for Vesna, at 124.72% relative damage at R1 in the Vodyanitsa Sustain - Team column, ahead of Whitelake Frostfeather, New Bough and Primordial Jade Cutter. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.
Run Scarlet Proof on Vesna, with Gilded Dreams and 2PC ATK% Combinations behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > EM > ER.
Talent priority is Skill >> Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
Aim for 117% to 128% Energy Recharge, depending on the team and the weapon; in teams that would need more, prydwen.gg's calcs say to skip ER and Burst every other rotation. The standard rotation (Simple Combo) is E EE Q/N3C E 2[N3C E].
The strongest team is Vesna, Odette, Vodyanitsa and Sucrose, built around Vesna: Anemo · Stellar Swirl.
Vesna'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.
Beyond the Chrysalis is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Finale of the Deep is the best 4-star alternative.
Scarlet Proof. Its 2-piece bonus is: ATK +18%. Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases the equipping character's CRIT Rate by 16%, and their Stellar Swirl reaction dealt by 40%, for 10s after they trigger a Stellar Swirl reaction.
