Could Itto Become S TIER Soon?

In todays Genshin Impact video I go over how Itto could see an overhaul similar to Xiao and Cyno to his team from when he came out. The new core of the team would be Xilonen, Mavuika, and Furina which may end up being very strong as it would decrease Geo, Pyro, and Hydro res by 36% while also giving Geo 40% damage bonus and depending on the rotation Hydro or Pyro damage bonus too.

[@ayag.8306]

Itto is in desperate need of his own Xianyun. A Geo charged attack buffer with healing would grant him full Furina access without relying on Gorou’s C4.

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

The sad part about it is that for gorou to be worth it in terms of healing you need to have furina c2

If you have a good Itto, he IS veeery good with xilonen, in both the double hydro version and the triple geo team with C2 Xilonen. Over 70k per charge, over 100k on the final charge and 200k per skill, all this with diona as a shielder, if Citlali ends up actually being a shielder buffer that this is gonna be even better.

[@mochimochiboch]

Xilonen with itto is pretty viable. It opens up his team option no longer being restricted to mono geo. If you have a c0-c5 gorou then Xilonen will be better but c6 goruo will be better. However if you decide to use c0 Xilonen with itto over c6 gorou you will lose 7% of buffs from c6 gorou but Xilonen compensate this by having good uptime with her buffs while also give itto access to sub dps characters with high damage that are not geo and giving itto acess to furina buffs via her healing. The main issues is that itto will have er issues since he no longer has mono geo batterying him so giving a fav weapon to Xilonen or any other character could help alleviate the issue. For teams itto, Xilonen, furina and a flex slot are pretty good. The team I plan to use is itto Xilonen furina and fischl if you don't have furina then yelan with fav or xingqiu are pretty good alternatives Edit: I have been seeing this I'd comments but so it important to remind people that Noelle is a 4 star a c6 Noelle is not gonna out damage a c0 itto despite having acess to furina. 4 star dps characters are never going to out damage 5 star c0 dps characters

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

@@mochimochiboch I think the Xilonen team will eventually be better than the mono geo team for itto since you’re not just buffing itto but also your sub dps characters too, so I think while ittos damage may go down the overall team damage is going to be better

Xilonen should be good for geo dps in general. Your literally guaranteed to get kazuha levels of buffs no matter what your fighting (res shred + dmg bonus) but the catch is you can only use those 2 together and no other nonswirlable element to trigger Xilonens res shred and healing So you would have Itto Xilonen Furina and a swirlable sub dps. Of course u can use Bennett as Itto does also scale on atk but honestly there's better uses for Bennett. However if your able to get c2 Xilonen then Itto Xilonen Furina and Xiangyun becomes ittos best team by far

Boy get outta here. Both Itto and Navia got equal buffs. Just cuz their playstyles are different doesn't automatically means one gets inequal buffs.

[@NFYT]

he got so much stronger with xilonen absolutely, but he's not S tier lol, i struggle to clear under the 1 min 30s mark even with xilonen and i have a pretty good build with the BP weapon, the problem with itto is that his AoE is just overwhelmingly poor, you have to put so much thought on how to hit the enemies because if they separe your DMG just goes absolutely downhill and you might not even clear just because of that (unlike navia that her cannon has very decent AoE and her ult hits everywhere)

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

This is only part of the buff, we gotta wait and see how strong pyro archon is before we say anything. Also the AOE he has is great idk how u can say navia has better aoe because the same thing applies to her about them separating too far.

[@NFYT]

@@TheGenshinIdiot the thing about navia's AoE is that it doesn't interrupt or separate enemies as easily, itto's ushi and final stack of the charged attack separates certain enemies if bad positioned, with navia that isn't really the case because she has more DMG per snapshot she doesn't need to do a full combo, if she throws a skill pretty much everything is dead unlike itto's gameplay, inherently affects the AoE potential because itto wants to do his full combo and hit both enemies, but his full combo staggers and separates a lot of enemies if done incorrectly, there's less margin of error (considering he's more ult reliant so if he doesn't kill you'll have to do the rotation again instead of doing just another skill like navia would do). that in particular sucks, but he got a lot stronger, im having a blast using him

@@Luna_69420-m Barbra with the character who already team heals and shields herself…

[@kawaiimika7974]

No, because you're Sacrificing Gorou's better buff for Xilonen's mid buff and the trade off is using Yelan over Chiori, who he doesn't synergize with. And Furina instead of a good future off field elemental DPS, aka Mavuika, that actually won't brick his team like Furina. And also, Chiori provides a better overall buff to Itto with Xilonen's sword than what Yelan would give with her passive. 0:23 This is not his best team, Zhongli doesn't need to be here. You get shields for Geo resonance through crystalize. You're wasting a valuable team slot on a character that doesn't do anything. 1:25 if you want to do this xou could have been just using Wriothesley, Bennett, Xiangling, Furina. Because, unlike Geo, Cryo would enable Xiangling to MELT and you would get significantly more damage. Actually, YOU CAN PLAY THIS TEAM RIGHT NOW! Just swap Wriothesley for Itto and there you go, it will literally be the same thing as if Xilonen and Mavuika were here. 6:58 No because Zhongli loses all relevancy then. She needs to have some restrictions.

[@santabakure6264]

Yeah that’s a rough truth Itto benefits much more with mono geo But navia is quite good with xilonen

[@kawaiimika7974]

​@@santabakure6264 I agree, she's good with her. I mean she's good with Itto too, but those are not Itto teams. That's like if there was a character that was good for Navia's damage but it would force her into Mono Geo, which is not a team you'd run her in. Idk, personally, I don't like this Bennett, Xiangling, Furina core because that team is so powerful to the point if you just changed the on fielder the outcome wouldn't change, because Furina and Xiangling do all the damage.

[@TheGenshinIdiot]

Why would furina brick ittos team? Youre also underrating the res shred for other characters on the team + damage bonus for one of the other elements. Maybe if I had chiori I would use her but every time I use albedo his E skill gets destroyed by bosses and you can really help it since he auto targets onto them If Xiangling does as much damage as Mavuika then sure It wont be an issue but the thing is I HIGHLY doubt that Mavuika will needs nearly as much ER and only do as much as Xiangling does. Why would he they do 2 separate roles, also hes a 1.2 character, also imaginarium theater exists for a reason, Yoimiya lost all her relevancy before it came out and now she was great last time I played.

[@kawaiimika7974]

Because she needs a healer. The rest is just pointless argument that means nothing. Gorou give Itto and other Geo's a bigger buff, periodt. That's ok. I would suggest you try Chiori out since she doesn't have this problem and Itto provides a construct for her. Well ofc, especially if they make her a skill DPS. I'm just saying the team is already available for you to try so you can grasp how good it will potentially be. Actually they have the same role, both are res shreddeing sustain unit, Zhongli is more universal with no caviats while Xilonen has some but higher value buff. If she could res shred all elements it would just be unbalanced. Look at what happened with Kazuha and Venti, we don't need that situation again. I mean Yoimiya wasn't great, she was just lucky she got a good Abyss line up. Which won't be the case majority of the time. As for imaginarium theater, girl we have enough Pyro units that can be played in that mode. I don't think this increases Yoimiya's value at all. Like yeah she can be used to clear a weak floor but majority of the time I'm left with multiple DPS characters having 1 Vigor available at the end of my run, so like... Idk XD
