Venti’s Burst is the most powerful crowd-control ability in Genshin Impact, able to completely immobilize lighter enemies by lifting them off the ground. Some characters can have trouble reaching enemies lifted too high though, so here’s a full list of characters and how their abilities interact with Venti’s Burst.
Ratings assume enemies are light enough to be fully lifted by Venti’s Burst. Lifted enemies often jiggle up and down a fair bit, so ratings may not be 100% consistent.
Venti cannot lift enemies who are more than 20 levels higher than himself. It is not recommended to leave Venti under-leveled to avoid lifting enemies, as this severely undermines his damage. If an enemy is light enough to be lifted out of reach, they’re usually weak enough to not worry about a few missed hits.
Plunging Attacks usually miss with their AoE shockwaves upon hitting the ground, but they still do collision damage if an enemy is struck on the way down.
