Venti’s Burst has the strongest sustained pull of any crowd-control effect in Genshin Impact. Lighter enemies are pulled in and lifted off the ground, while heavier enemies might only slide around. Additionally, staggering heavy enemies while they’re in a vortex may lift them in instances when they would otherwise not budge.
Below, we’ll breakdown a list of all enemies in Genshin Impact and how they’re affected by Venti’s Burst. If you need to know which characters can reach into Venti’s Burst, we have a separate list for that.
Venti’s Burst interactions, explained
Most boss enemies are immune to crowd-control and therefore excluded from this list. The exceptions are the Jadeplume Terrorshroom, Aeonblight Drake, Perpetual Mechanical Array, and Millennial Pearl Seahorse. In general, though, if you’re bringing Venti to a boss fight, don’t expect to make much use of his crowd-control.
Venti’s pull strength is constant and does not change based on the state of the enemy. Some enemies are pulled more effectively when Frozen or Petrified, as these states prevent them from moving to counteract the pull. Some enemies, like Abyss Mages and Mirror Maidens, shield or buff themselves to become immune to crowd-control.
Venti cannot lift enemies who are more than 20 levels higher than himself. It is not recommended to leave Venti under-leveled to avoid lifting enemies, as this severely undermines his damage.
