Anemo characters in Genshin Impact can be fit into many teams, making them highly sought after. Sucrose is no different as she can be built for many different teams and playstyles, with very little investment. She is afour-starCatalyst user that uses her skills in alchemy in combat to attack enemies and buff allies.
Gameplay
In a Support role, Sucrose can procSwirland shines the most when faced with multiple enemies. Swirl spreads other Elemental Damage, making it easy to cause groups of enemies to suffer from the effects ofCryo,Pyro,Hydro, orElectro. This is especially useful for setting upElemental Reactionsfrom other team members.
In a more damaging role, Sucrose can raise her Attack to deal a good amount of damage, however,Attack does not increase Swirl Damageand only increases the Anemo Damage Sucrose deals or the damage from her element infusedElemental Burst. While a DPS build is possible, Sucrose does more reliable damage in a Support role thanks to how Swirl Damage is calculated.

Weapon
Depending on how Sucrose is used, there are a few Catalysts that maximize her potential.Energy Rechargemay be important to players that need it, however, because Sucrose’s Elemental Burst has such a long cooldown it is unlikely that players will need much Energy Recharge for it. Instead, focusing on buffing the team or increasing Sucrose’s own Elemental Mastery should be prioritized.
Artifacts
As good as theNoblesse Obligeset is, its hard to argue against the effectiveness of the four-pieceViridescent Venererset. The first bonus provides a 15 percent Anemo Damage bonus. The second bonus lowers theElemental Resistanceof whichever elemental Swirl is infused with when hitting enemies by 40 percent for 10 seconds.
DPS Sucrose players can still opt to go for more damage based Artifacts likeGladiator’s FinaleorShimenawa’s Reminiscencefor the 18 percent increase to Attack. It should also be noted that any of the additional Elemental Damage bonuses from Artifacts will also benefit Anemo characters. This is because Swirl’s application will do both Anemo Damage and damage of what Element the enemy is infused with. Character buffs likeShenhe’s Icy Quills from her Elemental Skill also increase Sucrose’s own Cryo Damage when fighting enemies affected by Cryo.

Best Team For Sucrose
The best part about Sucrose is her ability to do when in nearly every team composition. Unfortunately, Geo characters don’t mix well with Anemo characters asCrystalizewill not proc on enemies affected by Anemo. Her best team compositions rely on being played with characters that use lots of Elemental Reactions.Vaporize,Melt, andOverloadteams can only be further buffed by Sucrose as herElemental Masterywill increase the rest of the party’s damage.
The way Elemental Mastery works makes it so the second applicator of an Element is all that matters when calculating damage. It is based on Level and the total Elemental Mastery of the second Elemental Damage’s dealer.Electro-chargedteams do exceptionally well with Sucrose providing buffs to them as it has a continuous effect and can be applied multiple times with Sucrose’s Normal Attacks.
