RolesMain DPS
Release2.3

The leader of the Arataki Gang is a DEF-scaling Geo carry. His Burst turns him into the Raging Oni King, and he spends Superlative Superstrength stacks on huge Arataki Kesagiri slashes. He is at his best with dedicated Geo supports like Gorou, Chiori and Xilonen, and remains a fun, solid option even if newer carries have passed him.

Guide

How to play

How he works

  • Superlative Superstrength: stacks (max 5) that turn his Charged Attack into Arataki Kesagiri, a chain of slashes that spends one stack per hit and ends with a powerful final slash. Bloodline of the Crimson Oni adds 35% of his DEF to Kesagiri DMG, and Arataki Ichiban speeds up each consecutive slash.
  • Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst! (Skill) throws Ushi, who taunts enemies and grants stacks when he hits, takes damage or leaves.
  • Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil! (Burst, 70 Energy) enters Raging Oni King: Geo infusion, faster Normal Attacks, ATK increased based on DEF, and stacks from the 1st and 3rd hits of his combo. It lowers his own RES by 20% and ends if he leaves the field.

Rotation

  1. Set up your supports (Gorou, Chiori/Albedo, Zhongli or Xilonen).
  2. Q, a Normal Attack, then E (Ushi).
  3. Loop Normal Attack combos to build stacks and spend them on full Kesagiri chains until the Burst ends; recast E when it is ready.

Husk of Opulent Dreams needs time to stack: wait a few seconds off-field before a fight so it starts at full stacks.

Strengths

  • Huge hits from DEF scaling, fully functional at C0
  • Great interruption resistance during Kesagiri and his Burst
  • Core of Mono Geo teams, with lots of 4-star support options
  • Fun and satisfying playstyle

Weaknesses

  • Needs dedicated Geo supports (Gorou above all) to shine
  • Burst-dependent, with a long field time
  • Loses 20% RES during his Burst, so he wants a shield or healing
  • Behind the 7.1 meta carries (T2 on Prydwen, C on Game8)
