Arataki Itto is a playable 5-star Geo character in Genshin Impact. Although he doesn’t seem to look the part, Itto is a kind soul. 

As for what he does, Itto is a descendant of the crimson oni and the leader and founder of the Arataki Gang

In this guide, we will discuss his Talents, Constellation, Recommended Roles, Recommended Weapons, and Artifact Sets. 

Arataki Itto’s Talents 

Normal Attack – Fight Club Legend Normal Attack 
Perform up to 4 consecutive strikes.  When the 2nd and 4th strikes hit opponents, Itto will gain 1 or 2 stacks of Superlative Superstrength, respectively.  

Max 5 stacks. Triggering this effect will refresh the current duration of any existing stacks. 
 
Additionally, Itto‘s Normal Attack combo does not immediately reset after sprinting or using his Elemental Skill Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst! 
 
Charged Attack 
When holding to perform a Charged Attack, Itto unleashes a series of Arataki Kesagiri slashes without consuming Stamina. Instead, each Arataki Kesagiri slash consumes 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. When the final stack is consumed, Itto delivers a powerful final slash.  

If no stacks of Superlative Superstrength are available, Itto will perform a single Saichimonji Slash
 
Plunging Attack 
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. 
Elemental Skill – Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst! Hurls Ushi, the young akaushi bull and auxiliary member of the Arataki Gang, dealing Geo DMG to opponents on hit.  

When Ushi hits opponents, Arataki Itto gains 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength
