Arataki Itto

Geo Claymore Tier S Main DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Arataki Itto worth building?

Itto is a very strong and genuinely fun Geo main DPS, his hits feel meaty and he clears packs of enemies with ease. The twist is that he scales off DEF, so forget ATK and farm DEF%, a Geo goblet and a crit circlet. He wants a mono-Geo team with Gorou to reach full power, and drops off noticeably without him. The Redhorn Stonethresher is his soulmate weapon, but the 4-star Serpent Spine or Whiteblind already take him far. Aim for 130-140% Energy Recharge so his Burst comes up every rotation.

Arataki Itto's talents

Fight Club Legend
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
When the 2nd and 4th strikes hit opponents, Itto will gain 1 and 2 stacks of Superlative Superstrength, respectively.
Max 5 stacks. Triggering this effect will refresh the current duration of any existing stacks.

Additionally, Itto's Normal Attack combo does not immediately reset after sprinting or using his Elemental Skill, "Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!"

Charged Attack
When holding to perform a Charged Attack, Itto unleashes a series of Arataki Kesagiri slashes without consuming Stamina. Instead, each Arataki Kesagiri slash consumes 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. When the final stack is consumed, Itto delivers a powerful final slash.
If no stacks of Superlative Superstrength are available, Itto will perform a single Saichimonji Slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!
Hurls Ushi, the young akaushi bull and auxiliary member of the Arataki Gang, dealing Geo DMG to opponents on hit. When Ushi hits opponents, Arataki Itto gains 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength.

Ushi will remain on the field and provide support in the following ways:
· Taunts surrounding opponents and draws their attacks.
· Inherits HP based on a percentage of Arataki Itto's Max HP.
· When Ushi takes DMG, Arataki Itto gains 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. Only 1 stack can be gained in this way every 2s.
· Ushi will flee when its HP reaches 0 or its duration ends. It will grant Arataki Itto 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength when it leaves.

Hold
Adjust throwing angle.

Ushi is considered a Geo construct. Arataki Itto can only deploy 1 Ushi on the field at any one time.

The name of this technique is derived from Onibudou (a light novel series written by Junkichi). However, calling it "Onisatsu Zetsugi" probably constitutes copyright infringement — not to mention how Itto himself is an oni and all...
Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!
Time to show 'em the might of the Arataki Gang! For a time, Itto lets out his inner Raging Oni King, wielding his Oni King's Kanabou in battle.
This state has the following special properties:
· Converts Itto's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks to Geo DMG. This cannot be overridden.
· Increases Itto's Normal Attack SPD. Also increases his ATK based on his DEF.
· On hit, the 1st and 3rd strikes of his attack combo will each grant Arataki Itto 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength.
· Decreases Itto's Elemental and Physical RES by 20%.

The Raging Oni King state will be cleared when Itto leaves the field.

This is the pinnacle technique of the ultimate fighting style (according to Itto). It would be pointless for Arataki Itto to reference any other fighting styles to improve his own, for he, and no other, is the strongest, most terrible oni in the land.
Shouta thinks it looks really cool.
Arataki Ichiban
When Arataki Itto uses consecutive Arataki Kesagiri, he obtains the following effects:
· Each slash increases the ATK SPD of the next slash by 10%. Max ATK SPD increase is 30%.
· Increases his resistance to interruption.

These effects will be cleared once he stops performing consecutive slashes.
Bloodline of the Crimson Oni
Arataki Kesagiri DMG is increased by 35% of Arataki Itto's DEF.
Woodchuck Chucked
When a party member uses attacks to obtain wood from a tree, they have a 25% chance to get an additional log of wood.

Combat Rotation

  1. Open with Elemental Skill to hurl Ushi, dealing Geo DMG, taunting nearby enemies, and granting 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength (Skill CD 10s).
  2. Land 2-4 Normal Attacks; the 2nd and 4th hits of each combo grant an extra stack, up to a max of 5 stacks.
  3. Let Ushi stay on the field to draw enemy attacks — each time it takes damage (max once per 2s) it grants another stack.
  4. Once you have 70 Energy, unleash the Burst 'Royal Descent' to enter the Oni King state, lasting 11 seconds (Burst CD 18s).
  5. While in Oni King, Normal/Charged/Plunging Attacks are all converted to Geo DMG, with ATK scaling off DEF and increased Normal Attack SPD.
  6. Prioritize landing the 1st and 3rd hits of your combo during Oni King, since each grants an extra stack of Superlative Superstrength.
  7. Ushi also grants a stack when it flees (on expiry or defeat) — recast the Skill as soon as it's off cooldown to keep the taunt and stack income going.
  8. Loop the cycle: Skill (taunt + stacks) → Normal Attacks for more stacks → Burst once Energy is full → deal damage in Oni King; note Oni King lowers Elemental and Physical RES by 20%, so bring shield/healing support.
