Genshin Impact’s Sucrose is an extremely curious alchemist who specializes in bio-alchemy. As a four-star anemo catalyst user, she’s always on the hunt for new test subjects to try out her experiments. So let’s conduct anemo test 6308, as we look at the best Genshin Sucrose build, artifacts, weapons, and more.

If you want to build up a strong team, head over to our Genshin Impact tier list to find out where each character ranks so you know who to wish for on the Genshin Impact next banner.

We also have in-depth build guides for Genshin Impact’s Freminet, Genshin Impact’s Neuvillette, and Genshin Impact’s Furina.

Here’s everything you need to know before you meet Genshin Impact’s Sucrose.

What’s the best Genshin Impact Sucrose build?

Sucrose is a unique support character capable of granting elemental mastery to teammates and driving elemental reactions. She can slot into multiple roles, has decent crowd control, and requires little talent investment, making her an affordable and flexible reaction driver for many team comps.

She does rely on her first and fourth constellations to really reach maximum potential, and her burst cost is pretty high. But, as a budget Kazuha or Venti, she gets the job done. Plus, she’s very cute!

What are the best Genshin Impact Sucrose weapons?

If you’re lucky enough to pull it on the weapon banner, A Thousand Floating Dreams is a fantastic weapon for boosted elemental mastery and reaction synergy. Generally, we recommend Sacrificial Fragments for an on-field reaction driver Sucrose, as it provides high elemental mastery and another skill charge, lowering her energy recharge requirements in the process.

For support Sucrose, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is a surprisingly powerful option, sacrificing her personal damage in exchange for a large attack buff to the next character you take to the field.

Weapon Effect How to obtain
A Thousand Floating Dreams Bonus stat: elemental mastery
Skill: Party members other than Sucrose will provide her with buffs based on whether they are anemo users or not. If they are, Sucrose’s elemental mastery is increased by 32. If they use different elements, Sucrose’s anemo damage bonus is increased 10%. Each of the aforementioned effects can have up to three stacks. Additionally, all nearby party members other Sucrose will have their elemental mastery increased by 40. If two party members are using A Thousand Floating Dreams, these effects can stack

What are the best Genshin Impact Sucrose artifacts?

Regardless of the situation, if you have Sucrose on your team, she should always be holding a full set of Viridescent Venerer. It boosts her own damage, shreds enemy elemental resistances, and helps out her entire team. No other set compares.

However, seeing as Viridescent Venerer is basically the best artifact set for every single anemo character, farming enough for all your units can be a pain. Gilded Dreams is a pretty good substitute that boosts Sucrose’s elemental mastery, either as a four-piece set or combined with Wanderer’s Troupe.

Artifact set Effect How to obtain
Viridescent Venerer Two equipped: 15% anemo damage bonus
Four equipped: Increases swirl damage by 60%. Your opponent’s elemental resistance to the element infused in the swirl is decreased by 40% for ten seconds

Increases attack by 14% for each party member with the same elemental type as Sucrose, and increases elemental mastery by 50 for every party member with a different elemental type. Each of the aforementioned buffs count up to three characters. This effect can trigger once every eight seconds, even when Sucrose isn’t on the field

What are Genshin Impact Sucrose’s abilities?

Sucrose’s utility comes from her elemental skill and elemental burst abilities. They are powerful elemental reaction drivers and are great for crowd control in large groups of enemies.

Plunging: Deals AoE anemo damage on impact with the ground

Elemental burst: Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II Summons a large wind spirit to pull, launch, and deal AoE anemo damage to nearby enemies. If the spirit comes into contact with hydro, pyro, cryo, or electro elements, it deals additional damage of that type
