Genshin Impact’s 4.5 Update is going to bring Itto back on the Character Banner. Itto is one of the game’s hypercarry units, similar to Xiao, Eula, and others. And much like them, he has a very restricted team and weapon selection due to his niche nature and Def scaling. Here are the best weapons for Itto in version 4.5.
5 Best Weapons for Itto in Genshin 4.5
1. Redhorn Stonethresher
Base ATK: 542
Secondary Stats: 88.2% Crit DMG
Effect: DEF is increased by 28%. Normal and Charged Attack DMG is increased by 40% of DEF.
The Redhorn Stonethresher is tailor-made for Itto, synergizing perfectly with his DEF-scaling damage. Its significant DEF boost combined with a hefty increase in Normal and Charged Attack DMG based on DEF makes it the ultimate weapon for Itto.
2. Serpent Spine
Base ATK: 510
Secondary Stats: 27.6% Crit Rate
Effect: Every 4s a character is on the field, they will deal 10% more DMG and take 2% more DMG. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and will not be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.
The Serpent Spine is a solid option for Itto, offering increased damage over time based on how long he stays in battle. The Crit Rate secondary stat is also beneficial for enhancing his critical hits, further boosting his damage potential.
3. Whiteblind
Base ATK: 510
Secondary Stats: 51.7% DEF
R5 Effect: On hit, Normal or Charged Attacks increase ATK and DEF by 12% for 6s. Max 4 stacks (48% total). Can only occur once every 0.5s.
Whiteblind is a forgeable claymore that synergizes well with Itto's reliance on defense. The ATK and DEF buffs provided by this weapon can significantly enhance Itto's damage output, making it a reliable choice for players looking to maximize his potential.
4. Blackcliff Slasher
Base ATK: 510
Secondary Stats: 55.1% Crit DMG
Effect: After defeating an opponent, ATK is increased by 24% for 30s. This effect has a maximum of 3 stacks, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others.
While not directly benefiting Itto's DEF-scaling, Blackcliff Slasher's high Crit DMG secondary stat and its ATK increase after defeating an opponent make it a strong choice for increasing overall damage output.
5. Wolf's Gravestone
Base ATK: 608
Secondary Stats: 49.6% Base ATK
Effect: Increases Base ATK by 20%.
The Wolf’s Gravestone is a classic for Claymore users but it doesn’t do much for Itto in regards to synergy. Its high base attack, which is usually very beneficial, doesn't get used properly by Itto due to his Def scaling. So only use this weapon if you have no other option or want to force a 5-star weapon on him.
