Husk of Opulent Dreams
- The Husk of Opulent Dreams is an artifact set designed for Geo characters whose abilities scale with Defense, a perfect match for Arataki itto.

- If you wish for the Redhorn Stonetresher, focus on DEF stats, otherwise Crit. DMG and ATK are the ideal secondaries.
Archaic Petra

Best Team for Itto in Genshin Impact
Role | Character | Element |
|---|---|---|
Main DPS | Arataki Itto | Geo |
Sub DPS | Kazuha | Anemo |
Elemental Reaction | Albedo | Geo |
Support | Gorou | Geo |
Unfortunately, Arataki and Kuki Shinobu don't have a great synergy. The best squad for Itto is still a team full of Geo Characters.
Mono Geo Team
As the name indicates, this team focuses on characters from the Geo Element. Overall it is a very strong team against single targets like bosses.
The team doesn't depend on Elemental Reactions, but they can take advantage of a character with healing or defense shred.
Main DPS
- Arataki Itto is the best DPS for this team, he benefits from the kit of most Geo supports.
Sub-DPS
- Albedo & Zhongli compliment Itto very well, even when both are different, both have a similar DMG output. Therefore, if you have both, you can include them in the team.
Elemental Enabler
- Gorou is a character whose main role is to make Geo teams viable.
- With that, Gorou is the best partner for Itto, though he is not viable outside of Mono Geo teams.
- Alternatives: Yunjin, Ningguang, Zhongli (Support Build)
Support
- Even when the team is all about the Geo element, there are great benefits in adding a healer against corrosion.
- Swirl reactions with a Viridescent Artifact Set reduce the defense of enemies. That means characters like Kazuha and Sucrose can add a lot to this team.
- Kujou, Sara, and Bennet are also good attack boosters.
