Team Compositions

When it comes to playing Itto, you want to keep him on the field as much as possible. You may also want to add another Geo character to your team for the Geo Elemental resonance.

Main DPS Itto

This team composition lets Itto stay on the field for as long as possible.

This team makes Itto the star of the show. He will be the main DPS of the team and Zhongli, Beidou and Fischl will support him from the sidelines. Zhongli will be the main support and shielder of Itto. This is important because he can be vulnerable during his Elemental burst form. On the other hand, we are adding Beidou and Fischl because they can provide Electro damage even when they are not on the field. Beidou can also act as a sub-DPS for the team.

Geo Team

Gorou and Zhongli can protect and further buff Itto's Geo damage.

This team is filled with Geo characters only. It utilizes the kit of Gorou, which can give you additional Geo damage depending on the number of Geo characters on your team. Itto will be the main DPS for this team and Albedo can become the sub-DPS. Zhongli will be your support or shield character, but you can also replace him with Noelle. Gorou's main role in this team is to buff Itto and increase his survivability and damage on the field.

Free-to-Play

Noelle can give Itto better survivability on the field.

For a Free-to-play option, you can use Arataki Itto as the main DPS of your team. Kaeya or Xiangling can act as your sub-DPS and battery, for extra energy recharge. Add Noelle to your team for extra healing and Geo support. Lastly, the Geo traveler can help give your more crystallization elemental reactions against enemies. The Traveler can also act as your sub DPS.

Summary

Itto is a great Geo Main DPS, especially if you can master utilizing his stacks.

Arataki Itto is a 5-star Geo character that is an oni descendant living in Inazuma. He relies heavily on his normal and charged attacks to deal damage. When using Arataki Itto, prioritize getting stacks of the Superlative Strength and using them for your charged attacks. You should also use your elemental skill when you are in Raging Oni mode to further increase the Geo damage of Ushi.
