Sucrose in Genshin Impact: a guide to the best builds

Contents

In Genshin Impact Sucrose is a 4-star character that uses a Catalyst in combat and is an Anemo type. In a squad, she can act as a secondary damage dealer with a bias in support. In this guide, you will learn about her best builds, weapons and artifacts. We will also tell you which heroes it can be paired with.

Abilities and features of Sucrose

This cute explorer is great for taking out large groups of normal enemies and supporting the main damage dealers, as she can greatly increase their elemental damage. Its main advantages include:

Increases team's Elemental Mastery.
Elemental explosion and skill allow you to collect enemies in one place.
Elemental skill has several levels of charge.

If we talk about the shortcomings of this heroine, then we cannot fail to mention the need for 80 units of energy to use her elemental explosion. In addition, her Elemental Reaction: Swirl does not interact with elemental auras. To fully unleash the potential of the alchemist girl, you will need to unlock the 1st and 4th constellations.

How to play as Sucrose

Toss and group mobs

The heroine's elemental skill and Elemental Burst first pulls enemies to one point, and then throws them into the air, dealing Anemo damage. During this time, they can't do anything, so you can safely switch to the main damage dealer to deal massive damage to them.

Enhance elemental reactions

Anemo abilities are designed to interact with other elements, while Sucrose specializes in enhancing these reactions. Thanks to his passive skill "Mollis Favonius", using the elemental skill "Experiment #6408" or the Elemental Burst "Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II", the heroine can increase the mastery of the elements of all other party members by 20 percent of her own value.

This will give you the ability to create more powerful elemental reactions that will cover a huge area. Since the researcher's skill is based on charges, just like Klee, the Elemental Mastery buff from her passive is not heavily affected by the cooldown of the skill, since the effect can trigger on every charge and elemental explosion.

In addition, her passive skill "Catalyst Conversion" also increases the elemental mastery of team members. This stat is increased by 50 for 8 seconds when the Elemental Reaction: Swirl effect is applied.

Save materials when crafting weapons and upgrade materials

The Astable Invention passive skill gives a 10% chance to get an additional item when crafting weapons or materials used to level heroes. So we advise you to keep her in the group when you are engaged in the creation of such things.

Talents (Constellations)

With "character luck" you will be able to unlock different constellations. You can get this resource by dropping copies of the hero during prayers. So it all depends on the case. The list of constellations is listed below.

Clustered Vacuum Field - Increases the number of charges of an elemental skill by one.
Beth: Unbound Form - Increases the duration of an elemental explosion by two seconds.
Flawless Alchemistress - Experiment #6308's level increases by three.
Alchemania - After every 7th charged or normal hit, the cooldown of an elemental skill is reduced by one to seven seconds.
Caution: Standard Flask - level "Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II"increases by three.
Chaotic Entropy - in the case when during the action of the ability "Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II"Absorption of the element occurs, for all members of the group, the damage from the corresponding element is increased by 20 percent. The effect lasts until the skill ends.

Best Sucrose Builds

Sucrose turned out to be a very flexible character who can be turned into an excellent support, using him as a battery for elemental mastery, or an excellent secondary damage dealer that enhances elemental reactions. Below we will describe equipment that is suitable for both purposes.

The best weapon

Ritual Memoirs (4-star; Elemental Mastery) - Successfully using an elemental skill has a 40% chance to instantly restore its cooldown. The effect appears once every 30 seconds.
Skyward Atlas (5-star; attack power) - Increases elemental damage by 12%. A normal strike has a 50% chance to inflict a blessing of the clouds, causing enemies to take 160% damage for 15 seconds. The effect appears once every half a minute. This catalyst is more suitable for those who want to use Sucrose more often directly in combat.
Sea Chart (4-star; Elemental Mastery) - Spawning an elemental reaction increases elemental damage by 8 percent for 10 seconds. The effect stacks up to two times.
Solar Pearl (4-star; Critical Hit Chance) - Increases damage from elemental abilities by 20 percent for 6 seconds after a successful normal strike. At the same time, elemental abilities increase damage from simple attacks for 6 seconds. Another good secondary DPS catalyst.
The Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (3-star) – after switching characters, increases the attack power of the new active character by 24/30/36/42/48% for 10 seconds.

Best Artifacts

There are three sets of artifacts that will suit Sucrose. You can either collect a complete set of any of them, or combine them with each other. Some of the kits are better for a support, while others are better for a sub-damager.

Viridescent Venerer: 2 items - increase Anemo damage by 15 percent; 4P - Increases the damage of Dispel by 60%, and also reduces the resistance of the enemy to the element with which this reaction interacted by 40% (effect lasts 10 seconds). More suitable for a secondary damage dealer. Can be obtained in Dungeon "Valley of Remembrance" .
Wanderer’s Troupe: 2 items - Increase Elemental Mastery by 80 points. 4P - Increases Charged Strike damage by 35% when using Bows or Catalysts. Can be obtained from elite bosses.
Instructor: 2 items - increase elemental mastery by 80 points. 4 items - When an elemental reaction appears, the elemental mastery of all team members increases by 120 points for 8 seconds. Better for support. Can be obtained from elite bosses.

Combination with other characters

Sucrose is a versatile character that can be taken to many teams as a support or a sub-damager. The optimal command with it looks like this:

Primary DPS: Klee (permanent source of fire damage: Sucrose can spread Pyro's status to whole groups of enemies)
Secondary DPS: Mona (Sucrose can spread Hydro's status to whole groups of enemies, and boost her damage with Explosion and Elemental Mastery), Fischl (Easily inflicts Electro status with Oz; Sucrose can boost her damage with Explosion and Elemental Mastery) or Xingqiu
Support: Sucrose
Support: Bennett (Heals and increases attack power with an elemental explosion) or Venti (Creates an elemental resonance that increases movement speed and reduces skill cooldowns)
