Arataki Itto inGenshin Impactis a main DPS that relies on DEF stat to deal damage. His release inGenshin Impactwas accompanied by a new artifact set, the Husk of Opulent Dreams. This equipment increases the wielder’s DEF if they deal damage or if they stay off-field, making ita great choice for both DPS and Support.
The most notable users of this set are Arataki Itto, Albedo, and Noelle. Meanwhile, forArataki Itto’s best weaponsinGenshin Impact, here are the top contenders.
Updated on June 02, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: Claymore users in Genshin Impact continue to grow in Natlan, but that sadly doesn’t mean Itto gets new toys to play with. The most recent release of the Claymore unit, as of version 5.6, is Mavuika, who debuted in Genshin Impact 5.3. AlthoughMavuika’s weapon is powerful, it’s niche for Natlan characters who greatly scale with ATK. Meanwhile, Itto and his needs for DEF stats mean he’s still stuck with weapons available pre-Natlan.
49.6% ATK
Effect
Increases ATK by 20%. On hit, attacks against opponents with less than 30% HP increase all party members' ATK by 40% for 12s. Can only occur once every 30s.
Due to Itto’s needs for DEF and Crit,Wolf’s Gravestonesits at the bottom of viable Itto weapons inGenshin Impact.Itto converts his DEF into ATK, meaning his abilities still scale with ATK, so the stats from Wolf’s Gravestone are still useful for him. The team-wide buff is also not very useful since Itto’s team mostly won’t scale with ATK.
55.1% Crit DMG
R5 Effect
After defeating an opponent, ATK is increased by 24% for 30s. This effect has a maximum of 3 stacks, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others.
Blackcliff Slasheris only good for Itto because of its Crit DMG secondary stats. Other than that, there isn’t really anything worth exploring. Nevertheless, playersshould not sleep on this universal Claymore, since most weapons with all their stats and passives, still offer less buff than Blackcliff’s 55% Crit DMG.
51.7% DEF
On hit, Normal or Charged Attacks increase ATK and DEF by 12% for 6s. Max 4 stacks (48% total). Can only occur once every 0.5s.
For Arataki Itto,Whiteblindis a greatforgeable weapon choice inGenshin Impact. The Claymore has a decent Base ATK and increases both Itto’s ATK and DEF on hit. In the end, Whiteblind adds almost 100% DEF for Itto, making it a reliable choice.
36.8% Energy Recharge
Increases all DMG by 8%. After using an Elemental Burst, a vacuum blade that does 80% of ATK as DMG to opponents along its path will be created when Normal or Charged Attacks hit. Lasts for 20s or 8 vacuum blades.
Itto relies on his Elemental Burst to deal damage, so players mustpair him with characters that can Batteryhis Ultimate or give him some Energy Recharge from artifact sub-stats. Although not the best option,Skyward Prideis a viable choice for Itto’s weapon inGenshin Impact. Its Energy Recharge secondary stat is perfect to ensure the oni can always use his Elemental Burst, and its passive is decent too. Other than the 8% DMG bonus, Itto will also deal a little extra Physical DMG in the form of vacuum blades.
33.1% Crit Rate
After the character’s Elemental Skill hits an opponent, their ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. After the character takes DMG, their ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. The 2 aforementioned effects can be triggered even when the character is not on the field. Additionally, when not protected by a shield, the character’s Max HP will be increased by 32%.
Beacon of the Reed Seais mostly a stat-stick for Itto, providing a decent 33.1% Crit Rate for his stat. Since Itto’s abilities still scale with ATK, the ATK bonus from the passive will still be useful, although not as welcome as aplain DMG boost or DEF bonus.
27.6% Crit Rate
Every 4s a character is on the field, they will deal 10% more DMG and take 2% more DMG. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and will not be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.
Serpent Spineis a Battle Pass Claymore, so it’s not F2P friendly, but its passive is easily one of the most universal abilities for main DPS. Its sub-stat provides a decent amount of Crit Rate, and its passive increases DMG instead of boosting a specific stat. The only downside is that the wielder of Serpent Spine must spend time on the field, meaning it’sonly viable for main DPSlike Itto.
88.2% Crit DMG
DEF is increased by 28%. Normal and Charged Attack DMG is increased by 40% of DEF.
Redhorn Stonethreshercan add so much to Itto’s abilities. The Claymore is so simple, it adds DEF% to Itto and then offers him an insane amount of raw damage based on his DEF. Add that to the whopping88% Crit DMG addition to Arataki Itto’s stats.
