What are the best Sucrose builds?
Sucrose is a pretty straightforward unit in terms of building, she shines as a Support or Sub DPS character that focuses on her own Elemental abilities, so our setups should reflect that. Weapons like The Widsith and artifact sets like Viridescent Venerer will serve that approach.
Below are two of the best Sucrose builds right now. You can keep reading to find out the hows and whys of these particular Sucrose builds, but if you've used this character before, you'll quickly understand the thought process behind her best weapon and artifact choices.
Role | Best Weapon | Alternative Weapon | Best Artifacts | Alternative Artifacts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Anemo DPS Build | The Widsith | Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers | Viridescent Venerer (4 piece set) | Wanderer’s Troupe (4 Pieces) |
Anemo Support Build | Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers | Prototype Amber | Viridescent Venerer (4 piece set) | The Instructor (4 piece set) |
Anemo DPS Build
The Widsith is the best option for this build since the randomized boosts we can get when changing characters will support our offensive strategies in a more adequate way.
If you want a boost on your charged attacks, the Wanderer’s Troupe should serve its purpose. However, 99% of the time you want to focus on your Anemo skills, so the Viridescent Venerer set in full effect is the one to equip.
Anemo Support Build
Both weapons serve their purpose at supporting your teammates, and the real choice lies in which one you can afford, with the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers being really easy to obtain until you can forge the Prototype Amber.
Being an Anemo Support build, you either want to use Viridescent Venerer to boost the potential damage of your Swirl reactions, or mix it up with 2 parts of The Instructor set to give your teammates a bonus on Elemental Mastery.
What are the best Team Comps for Sucrose?
Sucrose works especially well with other teammates which can trigger reactions. A good team composition comes with Pyro users as they can trigger strong Swirl reactions with fire damage.
Characters | Elements |
|---|---|
Diluc, Xinqiu, Bennett | Pyro, Hydro, Pyro |
Fischl or Xiangling, Mona, Ganyu | Electro, Pyro, Hydro, Cryo |
What are the best weapons for Sucrose?
Weapons like the Prototype Amber or The Widsith are the best options for these builds. You can also find a more affordable and equally good alternative to the Prototype Amber in the form of the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers.
Weapon | Rarity | Stats | Skills | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Sacrificial Fragments | 4-Star | Elemental Mastery + | After damaging an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30s. | Wishes |

What are the best Artifacts for Sucrose?
Depending on which build you choose to make, you must use Viridescent Venerer and mix it up with either Wanderer‘s Troupe set (in case you want to use Sucrose as an Anemo DPS), or The Instructor (for Anemo Support purposes). How many of these you choose to equip on her will depend on your gameplay, so it is suggested that you test different builds, see how they work as mixed or full sets and you can decide then.
Artifacts | Two-Piece Effect | Four-Piece Effect |
|---|---|---|
Viridescent Venerer | Anemo damage Bonus +15% | Increases Swirl damage by 60%. Decreases opponent's Elemental Resistance to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10 seconds. |
The Exile | Energy Recharge +20%. | Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for all the other party members every 2 seconds, for 6 seconds. This effect cannot stack. |
