Hey Genshin Impact players! Are you ready to dive deep into the world of Sucrose, the adorable and brilliant alchemist from Mondstadt? If you're aiming to maximize her potential as an Anemo support character, you've come to the right place. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about leveling up Sucrose, from the best talent priorities to the essential materials you'll need. Let's get started and transform your team's combat effectiveness!

Why Level Up Sucrose? The Power of Anemo Support

First off, why should you even bother leveling up Sucrose? Well, guys, she's an absolute game-changer in the world of Genshin Impact, especially when it comes to team compositions that rely on elemental reactions. Sucrose excels as an Anemo support character, meaning her primary role is to buff your team's damage output and debuff enemies. Her skills are designed to pull enemies together, making it easier to trigger reactions like Swirl and allowing you to deal massive damage with other elemental characters. In the early game and the late game, she's a fantastic character to have in your team.

Her Elemental Skill, Chirality, pulls enemies towards a central point, setting them up perfectly for crowd control and further elemental reactions. This is awesome if you want to group enemies up and wipe them out with one massive hit. Then you have her Elemental Burst, Forbidden Creation - Isomer 75 / Type II, which is even more insane. This ability deals AoE Anemo DMG and can absorb other elements (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo) to deal additional elemental damage based on the absorbed element. This allows for even more elemental reaction setups, which is the name of the game in Genshin Impact, or you're missing out on a lot of damage!

But that's not all; Sucrose's passive talents further amplify her support capabilities. For example, her passive talent Catalyst Conversion gives a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus to the character whose element is Swirled by her. And, if you have her at C6, she provides a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus to the team that makes her even better. Therefore, leveling up Sucrose isn't just about making her stronger; it's about making your entire team stronger. By investing in her talents and her level, you're investing in your team's overall effectiveness, making her a crucial asset in various team compositions, including those based on elemental reactions like Vaporize, Melt, and Electro-Charged. So yeah, she's super important!

Leveling Sucrose: Materials and Ascension

Alright, so now that we've established why you should level Sucrose, let's talk about how. This means going over all the resources and materials you need to collect. Getting Sucrose to level 90 isn't a walk in the park; it takes a lot of time and effort! You'll need to gather specific ascension materials, talent level-up materials, and Mora (the game's currency) to reach her full potential.

Ascension Materials

To ascend Sucrose, you'll need the following materials. Keep in mind that the amount needed increases with each ascension phase. Therefore, you must gather enough materials before you level her up to the next ascension phase. Make sure you are prepared! You’ll need:

  • Vayuda Turquoise: These are Anemo gems, which you can get by defeating Anemo bosses like the Anemo Hypostasis and the Maguu Kenki. They're essential for Ascending Sucrose.
  • Hurricane Seeds: These are dropped by the Anemo Hypostasis. The number of seeds required increases with each ascension.
  • Windwheel Aster: These are local specialties found in Mondstadt. You can find them around the open world and purchase them from the shop in Mondstadt.
  • Whopperflower Nectar: These are materials dropped by Whopperflowers. This will be the most basic material for the first few ascensions. There are multiple types of Nectar; you will need to pay attention to which ones are required as the level of ascension goes up!

Where to Get the Materials

  • Anemo Bosses: The Anemo Hypostasis is your go-to source for Vayuda Turquoise and Hurricane Seeds. Maguu Kenki also drops Vayuda Turquoise.
  • Windwheel Aster: You can find these flowers across Mondstadt. Check around Windrise, near the Statue of the Seven, and along the roads.
  • Whopperflowers: These enemies appear all over Teyvat. Defeat them to get Nectar materials. Be careful, they can be dangerous!
  • Mora: You'll need a ton of Mora. You can get Mora by doing quests, completing events, and farming Ley Line Outcrops (Blossoms of Wealth).

Leveling Up Your Talents

Don't forget about talents! Leveling up Sucrose's talents is just as important as leveling her up. This will increase her damage dealing potential, the utility of her elemental skill and her elemental burst. It's really the core of her strengths. You'll need the following materials:

  • Talent Level-Up Materials: You'll need talent books like the Teachings of Freedom, Guide to Freedom, and Philosophies of Freedom. These are available from the Forsaken Rift Domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
  • Whopperflower Nectar: Similar to ascension, you will need Whopperflower Nectar. The higher the talent level, the better the Nectar you'll need.
  • Crown of Insight: This is a rare item used to level up a talent to level 10. You can get these during special events.

So there you go. Keep these materials in mind when you are leveling up Sucrose. They are necessary for your Sucrose to be the best support character possible!

Talent Priority: Which Skills to Level First

Okay, so you've gathered all the materials and you're ready to level up your talents. But which talents should you prioritize? For Sucrose, the focus is on her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, as these are the core of her support capabilities. Let's break down the talent priority:

  • Elemental Skill (Chirality): This should be your top priority. Chirality is what makes Sucrose a great Anemo support. It pulls enemies together, creating openings for your team to deal damage, and it sets up excellent opportunities for Swirl reactions. Leveling this talent increases its damage and, more importantly, its effectiveness in crowd control.
  • Elemental Burst (Forbidden Creation - Isomer 75 / Type II): This should be your second priority. The Burst deals AoE Anemo damage and absorbs other elements for additional reactions, further enhancing your team's damage output. Upgrading this talent will increase the damage dealt and the effectiveness of elemental absorption.
  • Normal Attack (Wind Spirit Creation): This is the lowest priority. While you can level this up, it’s not as impactful as her other abilities. Sucrose's normal attacks are not her focus.

Keep in mind that the higher you level your talents, the more resources you'll need. Focus on leveling your most valuable talents first and then bring up the others if you have the resources. Remember, the game is a marathon, not a sprint! Take your time, focus on the most important skills, and watch your Sucrose become an incredible asset for your team. You can level her talents up to level 9, or even level 10 if you have Crowns of Insight, which is an amazing feat.

Best Weapons for Sucrose

Choosing the right weapon for Sucrose can significantly impact her performance. Since she's a support character, the focus is on maximizing her Elemental Mastery and supporting her team. You can do that by choosing the right weapon!

Here are some of the best weapons for Sucrose:

  • Sacrificial Fragments: This is arguably the best weapon for Sucrose. Its Elemental Mastery stat is amazing, and the passive ability has a chance to reset her Elemental Skill cooldown, which is great for more Swirls and energy generation. Sacrificial Fragments are a great weapon because it makes sure you get your elemental skill to be used as much as possible.
  • The Widsith: This is another great option, especially if you want to increase her damage potential. Its passive grants a random buff to Attack, Elemental DMG, or Elemental Mastery, making it a versatile choice. The Widsith is a great weapon for the damage dealing potential.
  • Hakushin Ring: If you're running a team that focuses on Electro reactions, this weapon is an excellent choice. It boosts the team's elemental damage after triggering an Electro reaction. While it doesn't give you Elemental Mastery, the Hakushin Ring offers great utility.
  • Prototype Amber: This is a craftable weapon, which makes it accessible to everyone. It regenerates energy and restores HP, making it a decent option for support and survivability.

Best Artifacts for Sucrose

Artifacts are crucial for building Sucrose, as they can significantly boost her stats and support capabilities. The right artifact set and stats can turn Sucrose into an incredible support character. Here's what you should focus on:

  • Viridescent Venerer (4-Piece Set): This is the best artifact set for Sucrose. It increases Swirl DMG by 60% and decreases the Elemental RES of the element Swirled by 40%. It's a game-changer for Anemo supports, and it's what makes Sucrose as good as she is. This is the top choice!

Artifact Stats to Prioritize

  • Sands: Elemental Mastery is the most important stat. However, if you already have enough Elemental Mastery from your weapon or other sources, you can consider Energy Recharge.
  • Goblet: Elemental Mastery is the best option. Otherwise, look for Anemo DMG Bonus.
  • Circlet: Elemental Mastery is usually best, but if you have a lot of EM from other sources, you can go for Crit Rate or Crit DMG for some extra damage.

Substats to Focus On

  • Elemental Mastery: Always a priority.
  • Energy Recharge: Necessary for consistent burst usage.
  • Crit Rate/Crit DMG: If you have some extra stats, these can help with some extra damage.

With the right artifacts, your Sucrose will deal a lot more damage and provide incredible support for your team!

Team Compositions and Synergies

Sucrose shines in team compositions that rely on elemental reactions, which is most of the teams in Genshin Impact. Her ability to group enemies and trigger Swirl reactions makes her a valuable addition to many teams.

Here are some team composition ideas:

  • Vaporize Teams: Sucrose + Pyro DPS + Hydro Support/Sub-DPS + Flex. This comp focuses on Vaporize reactions. Sucrose groups enemies, the Pyro DPS deals massive damage, and the Hydro character enables the reactions.
  • Melt Teams: Sucrose + Cryo DPS + Pyro Support/Sub-DPS + Flex. Similar to Vaporize, but focuses on Melt. Sucrose groups enemies, the Cryo DPS deals damage, and the Pyro character applies Pyro.
  • Electro-Charged Teams: Sucrose + Electro DPS + Hydro Support/Sub-DPS + Flex. This team comp focuses on the Electro-Charged reaction. Sucrose groups enemies, and the Electro and Hydro characters trigger the reactions.
  • Freeze Teams: Sucrose + Cryo DPS + Hydro Support/Sub-DPS + Flex. While Sucrose can't directly trigger Freeze, she can group enemies for your Cryo and Hydro characters to make it easier to apply the freeze reaction.
  • Mono-Element Teams: Sucrose + Main DPS (Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro) + Two other characters of the same element + Flex. Sucrose can still group enemies, and the team will deal a lot of damage from the same element. It's a good team to have if you are playing with a specific element!
