Arataki Itto is a 5 star geo unit released in 2.3 Genshin Impact, and he’s a very odd character for many reasons, but in a lot of situations, his oddities don’t seem to hold him back much from dealing very high damage and staking his claim as a strong and reliable character to have. So today, let’s talk about Itto in 2.7 and the value of pulling for him. (Assuming you’re undecided.)
DISCLAIMER: This video is not an attempt to force an opinion upon you. This is simply a look at Itto and the objective pros and cons of pulling for him during his 2.7 rerun banner.

Itto is one of the best dps in the game. Him, Ayaka and Raiden have little to no drawbacks. Itto is especially underrated considering how he has no AoE falloff while having more than decent single target damage. You can bring him to any kind of content with very few counters, that can usually be easily played around. He also has a very high and achievable ceiling for f2ps, a craftable whiteblind and one copy of Gorou is all you need.
I am AR 59 with 3 accounts and built every unit in the game, every dps is triple crowned and with their best teams. Most people trash on Itto because they don’t even have him built, he hits like a truck and his dps is very comparable to other overpraised characters. I put him and Ayaka as the best main dps in the game, you may think I’m bsing but I’m rly not.
As an Itto haver, h is very fun to play with his unga bunga playstyle and he has great damage to compensate for the lack of reactions, meaning he can do as much damage as a Hu Tao with vaporize which makes building him very rewarding since he doesn't need to use some like a Xingqiu to make his damage higher (also he's hot)
Having itto made me love healer ningguang 😍😍😍 her low burst cost means that I'm healing my team constantly. With the prototype amber and the clam set with healing bonus, I'm getting 3.5k healing per tick with 2k-ish bubble pop dmg 🥳🥳🥳
I got C2 Itto out of accident trying to C6 Gorou for his Heal and Geo crit. He's super effective against all enemies except Abyss barriers from Heralds and mages.
actually i main itto, but i hate to use 3 Geo in one team, maybe in the future hoyoverse can make other element work on Geo element… no need mono Geo team..
who you pulling for? :):)

I'll try getting C1 or his signature weapon, I have him Lvl 90 with a Serpent Spine and using him in a mono Geo team (Zhongli, Albedo, Gorou) Floor 12 is easy, I don't 36 star bc my other team (Xiao, Jean, Bennet, Raiden) but this mono Geo team is pretty much flawless
Itto is my first and the only triple crowned I have from 40 characters in inventory. I plan to get him again in his rerun along with C6 Gorou (currently he is C3). If lucky maybe I will get C1 or C2 Itto.
I’m praying gorou is in ittos banner, I have itto and geodaddy so once I have gorou, albedo, and ittos weapon, ima be crispy
Can't wait to get Itto on his rerun! I already have all Geo units raised so he's the only one left (Got Albedo and Zhongli during their reruns, Gorou is at C3) and Itto's mats are prepped for full 3 crowns. >:) At this point, I have more than enough primos to pick Itto up. I'm not a whale, but a small welkin boost and months in advanced primo savings has helped me get all the Geo characters and more (got Yelan too).
Lucky I'm guaranteed just hopefully I'll have enough primos to get him a day before his banner ends.
After Raiden's first banner I started saving up for Albedo (he's cute and I main Xiao so), and then Itto and Gorou were revealed to be on the same patch + new def set + def sword for Albedo. I immediately turned my Albedo funds into the geo funds, and I tried and succeeded to get the full mono geo husbando boyband (I had Zhongli already). I got really lucky! I've always liked no-reaction unga bungas like Xiao and Razor and Eula, so I knew Itto would be one of my favorite mains. Itto with Gorou, Albedo, Zhongli is so comfy. My artifacts had almost no ER so I had to put him on skyward pride. But when the rotations go right and with 2/4 of them with refined favonius weapons, playing is pretty smooth and with little to no downtime. I wish we had a geo healer option who's not Noelle tho, c4 Gorou doesn't heal as much as I hoped and it can be annoying sometimes
I don't think he's for everyone but for people who like unga bunga, he's delightful. I'm gonna pull on the next banner for one Shinobu copy and the 2 Gorous I need for c6. This is a situation where I'd be cool for an accidental 5* while hunting for 4*s. C1 Itto sounds like a fun QOL to have although not necessary
I haven't been using him a lot because my husk artifacts are absolute copium and that domain is pure pain without a proper healer, but once I get Kuki Shinobu, I'm gonna finally start farming that domain again so I can play him properly. So I'm super excited for his comeback, though idk if I'll try to get constellations
Me just wanting itto cause he’s a funny character 🧍♀️
Im mainly wishing on his banner for Shinobu since I find her look and kit pretty cool and interesting but Itto does look very fun to play so I wouldn't entirely mind getting him. If I lost the 50/50 tho it means I'm getting a Kazuha so it's a win either way lol
As someone who has pulled Itto "accidentally" before even knowing how the gacha works, gave him his f2p claymore, and doesn't even have gorou yet, I can say Itto is definitely fun and very strong if you build him right. A Zhongli – (flex spot) – Traveler – Itto team worked just fine for me in the previous abyss. Even shields on enemies aren't really a problem, you can use a triple geo team or just another team for that specific situation. And of course, Itto has so much personality, it's just great. My only problem with him is the husk domain lol… My luck there is cursed
Just so u know, Itto just use one punch to break into other dimension.
the answer to the question is simple, he's only good if you:
1. like not thinking about reactions
2. have a spare cc-er you mind throwing a team that doesn't benefit from vv
3. have zhongli or are willing to build a shielder like noelle or diona
4. are willing to kill poison wolf for mats for both gorou AND itto (if you haven't built gorou already)
5. grinding artifacts in a domain where the other 5 star is a healer set
6. pull for his weapon, use bp weapon or craft a white blind (another one if you have noelle built as your shielder)
I'm on guaranteed banner character with around 160 wishes ready for when Itto releases. I'm a light spender. I will definitely pull for c0 Itto, still unsure if I should save the rest for future Kazuha re-run. My main team is c0 Ayaka with Sucrose Diona and Xingqiu so I also do want to get Shenhe and Kokomi in the future!
Sadly I don't have Zhongli or Albedo so I'm a bit unsure how my comp will look with him. But I played Itto in his quest and he's just super fun so I know I want to play him anwyays!
tl;dr: Itto charge attack go brr indeed.
I tried to get Gorou on Itto's last banner for my Noelle, and somehow ended up with zero Gorous and c1 Itto. I was a little upset at the time.
I’ve still yet to build my accidental c2 Itto. I have him raised but his domain is so cursed I surrendered to it.
My c1 triple crowned itto is super strong he can clear most of the content easily his ratio with red horn cr -76 , CD -240 & ER 135 (Geo supremacy )
Well I don't have gorou
Should I pull for itto tho?my Noelle is c6 r5 whiteblind and triple crown,with geo traveler,gorou and fischl,so Im not sure if I should pull for itto or wait for albedo,because some people said that itto and Noelle doesn't go well together…
I want to say, don't forget that the best girl in the Arataki gang Kuki Shinobu is in the banner with Itto and by far she's gonna be best fit on the party with him. She has healing, her ring can damage so she can run Tenacity of the Millileth and she's HP scaling. Albedo may be "instalock geo slot" but if you don't have him don't knock Yun Jin out, her kit IS defense scaling as well so she can benefit with Gorou's kit and with her constellation synergizing with Gorou its a win win, i suggest go with triple geo and one different element slot, (preferably kuki) and utilize Gorou's crytalize magnet (especially his C2) and Yun Jin's C4 to raise their defense and if you have Yun Jin in C6 he'd be running in the stone age….
I was saving for Zhongli, thought of pulling gorou, got Itto at 18 confirmed pity. Immediate regret. I disliked him so much, I didn't build him. One day I decided to build him, and I am glad I did. I love Itto, the character in lore, and as a playable character, he's extremely fun to play, and with a little efforts, you'll get a lot of output. I don't have Zhongli and Albedo, so I made the team itto traveller(geo), Gorou, Bennett. Itto clears abyss really fast, especially with bigger enemies.
The way no one’s talking about that smooth transition in the beginning 🥲
My only con for Itto is his energy recharge even with Mono geo it takes a bit of time to fill up his burst
I have a question: I prepared the 4 pieces husk set for him with 70+ crit r – 224 crit dmg (with bp claymore) and if I'm lucky enough to get Red Horn his crit dmg will be around 290+(74cr with cr circlet), in that scenario should I change his circlet to def to get more atk or keep using the crit ones?
I'm quite familiar to the delayed gratification of high-investment units/teams; I'm looking at you Childe! I'd say it's hella worth it tho!! National's flexibility and Geo's neutral reaction really helps with almost all the content of the game and I don't even need to switch my teams at all; except for 1-2 units for elemental shielded enemies.
Childe National and Itto Mono Geo has allowed me to 36 star abyss consistently and I haven't changed my teams in months!!! Previously I had a Ning Duo Geo team, so I simply switched two for Itto/Gorou and they work wonders!!! Albedo might be more helpful, but a highly-invested Ning just SHREDS single target bosses, so I often prefer her in the abyss than Albedo.
Not sure if i'm a noob at playing more complex characters, because Itto is my strongest 5 stars.
I'm not good at this game at all because i don't pay much attention and play the game mindlessly, but even with how i play, i don't even need any strategy to beat floor 12 if Itto is part of the team.
One word …. NOOOOO!
I have a double crowned high investment itto without gorou and he still deletes everything he comes across. He’s level 90 with r3 whiteblind and 4pc husk. I always run him in the abyss with zhongli, bennett, and xiangling or zhongli, rosaria, and diona, depends which enemies are on that floor. His team always finish floors under a minute.
I want to get him since make my curse roll artifacts to insane good.
Who cares is he is strong or shit. If you like the character get it. Enjoy the experience of the game not the big numbers
noelle better 100%
I'm of the opinion that currently you should not pull on any banner until sumeru arrives aside for a few exceptions like kazuha, I'm not gonna go into specifics since it's leaks and I know not everyone wants to see them but dendro could really shake up the meta and I think waiting until dendro arrives is a much smarter choice since it could seriously change the value of some units depending on how dendro reactions will play out, however if you really like itto and he's your favourite then go ahead, he's really strong but he really wants specific party members and two of them are also limited 5* characters so getting the most of his potential can be quite costly.
I do have quite a few main DPSs, and I have to say that Itto is the most fun to play, and easily one of the strongest damage dealers i have.
I pulled for him, and accidentally got an extra copy, invested in him to a usable point (90-9-9-9 with Serpent Spine), friendship 10'd him, and never touched him again like I did Xiao.
My fav top 1 fun character – ITTO but i only have a ayaka as 1st 5 star
SOO ILL BE PULLING KAZUHAAAA hes very less resource and f2p 🌟 hope i win 50/50plz i have 90 wish rn im f2p 😭😭😭 dont think ill able to pull for a 5 star in 1 year after that 😔😔
Honestly as somebody who already had Albedo and Zhongli plus is a husbando collector, getting Itto was a no-brainer for me. Six months in and using a R5 Serpent Spine, I can say he is decently strong. Not OP like the likes of Ayaka or Hutao but he got me my first 36 stars in the Abyss so he can clear difficult content just fine. That said, I did have to bench him during the last Abyss Cycles because of the Lectors but I'm back to using him again. I just enjoy his playstyle so much and his synergy with Albedo, Zhongli and Gorou is great imo its probably one of the easiest teams to play for the amount of damage you get and he's still only 8/8/8 talents and 70/160 crit ratio. I'm planning to try and Roll Redhorn on his re-run because Serpent Spine's stacking mechanic is annoying when you also have to maintain stacks on Husk.
The good thing about Itto is that he is rarely countered in the abyss. He only gets countered by herald/lector shields, but his teams have flex spots anyways. And if your dps is good enough, you can even justify just using double geo instead since heralds and lectors don't have a whole lot of hp anyways. Ever since I got him, I've always used him in all my abyss runs. He can basically work anywhere.
