Leaks for the next Genshin Impact patch point to Venti getting major buffs in 6.2. HoYoverse looks set on powering up older characters and making them mesh better with the Hexerei faction, once called Hexenzirkel. The goal seems to be keeping Venti relevant in 2025 gameplay and pairing him well with new characters like Durin.
Genshin Impact 6.2 Venti Buffs Leaked
Honey Hunter World leaks show Venti with some of the biggest changes in 6.2. If your team has two Hexerei characters, Normal Attacks switch to Windsunder Arrows that pierce through enemies while dealing extra Anemo DMG.
Every time a Windsunder Arrow hits, it extends the Stormeye from his Burst by one second, though the cooldown rises by 0.5 seconds. This effect triggers every 0.1 seconds, up to twice per Burst.
There's also a new Passive Talent for teams with two Hexerei characters: after triggering a Swirl, the character responsible deals 50% more damage for 4 seconds, and Venti's Stormeye outputs 135% of its normal DMG.
Buffed Constellations Make Venti Stronger
Leaks point to hefty upgrades for Venti's Constellations in 6.2. C1 now launches 2 extra arrows per Windsunder Arrow, each hitting for 20% of the original damage. C2 resets his Skill cooldown on Burst, with a chance to trigger Wherever a Breeze Blows for 300% DMG on his next Skill, lasting 15 seconds. C4 provides him and active party members a 25% Anemo DMG Bonus for 10 seconds after any Skill or Burst. For C6, enemies hit by the Anemo RES Shred also suffer 100% CRIT DMG from Venti's attacks.
Venti Set to Become a Main DPS Character
All these changes mean Venti could step up as a main DPS, beyond just sub-DPS duty. Leaks mention a new signature weapon tailored for steadier damage. As the game's first 5-star, this represents a massive upgrade.
Works Well With Hexerei Faction
Venti's reworked kit aligns tightly with other Hexerei characters like Albedo, Mona, Klee, Razor, Sucrose, and Fischl, enhancing the faction's elemental traits and reaction setups. His improved Normal Attacks, Burst, and Passive Talents kick in extra effects with two Hexerei teammates, boosting overall team performance. These buffs amp up not only his damage but also teammates' reactions—for instance, triggering a Swirl near Stormeye grants up to 50% more DMG, sharpening team coordination.
On top of that, his Constellation tweaks tie into Hexerei mechanics to spread reaction buffs across the squad. It's clear HoYoverse aims to keep legacy characters viable for story missions and endgame challenges. Venti stands to anchor Hexerei teams with solid damage and flexible strategies.
Effects on Gameplay
Bottom line, Venti gains snappier rotations, higher damage, and punchier elemental reactions. You'll spend less time in menus and more in combat or story beats. Version 6.2 could signal Venti's return to form, with players waiting on official notes for confirmation. No matter what, this Anemo archer is primed to pull his weight in fights like he hasn't in ages.
