Itto Key Takeaways
- Arataki Itto, also referred to as Itto, is a 5-star Geo claymore character in Genshin who excels as a heavy-hitting warrior.
- Being a strong DPS character and a combat warrior, Itto’s strength lies in his powerful Claymore blows that get supercharged with other Geo characters on your team.
- Unlike most characters, his optimal build likes a lot of DEF% and Crit Rate. So, you’ll finally have a use for DEF pieces with amazing substats.
- Redhorn Stonethresher, being Itto’s signature weapon, is a highly recommended 5-star Event-wish exclusive weapon, but Whiteblind is a solid F2P option.
- The Husk of Opulent Dreams is the best artifact set for Itto and helps him maximize his DEF and GEO DMG Bonus.

The Redhorn Stonethresher is a weapon for him that provides a bonus stat of 88.2% CRIT DMG, increasing the damage of critical hits. Its skill effect increases his DEF by 28%, and also increases his Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 40% of his DEF, allowing him to deal more damage with higher DEF.
Best F2P Weapon
Whiteblind
Whiteblind is a 4-star claymore weapon and is a great F2P option for characters who prioritize DEF and survivability. Players can benefit from its passive ability and its high base attack rating.
On hit, it increases normal or charged ATK and DEF by 12% up to 4 times, making it exceptionally powerful for this build. This stacks quite nicely with the already high 51.7% DEF bonus the weapon provides.

The two-piece bonus of the Husk of Opulent Dreams set provides a flat increase of 30% to the wearer’s DEF stat. This bonus can help boost Itto’s overall survivability and make him more resilient in battle.
The Husk of Opulent Dreams set’s four-piece bonus is called Curiosity, which enhances the wearer’s Geo damage output and defense. Gain 1 stack of Curiosity when he hits an opponent with a Geo attack while on the field, and gains 1 stack every 3 seconds while off the field.
