~ Venti to Dvalin |
Summary
Venti (ウェンティ Wenti ), also known as Barbatos, is the Anemo Archon that rules over the nation of Mondstadt.
Known publicly as Venti, one of the many bards that have arrived in Mondstadt, he spends his time singing songs and poems to earn his keep before indulging in Mondstadt's famous wines. As he reveals to the Traveler early into the Mondstadt Chapter, he is the Anemo Archon Barbatos and recruits their help in finding a way to appease Stormterror Dvalin.

Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Elemental Manipulation (Fundamental Mechanisms, Elemental Lifeform Physiology, Elemental Authority: Archon Physiology; Venti, or Barbatos, is the Anemo Archon whose true form is a wind spirit, thus is comprised entirely of Anemo energy, making him immune to effects that rely on a normal human biology, such as Barbara's healing magic, or getting bloated or drunk from an endless supply of wine from the Dawn Winery)

- Immortality (Type 1)

- Healing (Venti can use wind element to heal himself as shown here)
- Duplication (With Splitting Gales, which triples the amount of arrows he fires per aimed shot)
- Limited Resistance Negation & Durability Negation (With Breeze of Reminiscence, which reduces opponents' resistance to physical and wind-based attacks when struck by Skyward Sonnet; also with Storm of Defiance, which decreases opponents' resistance to wind-based attacks even further when struck by Wind's Grand Ode)
- Statistics Amplification (With Hurricane of Freedom)
- Illusion Creation (Used magic to disguise the Holy Lyre as repaired in order to temporarily appease Barbara)
- Absorption (Energy; Can absorb the Anemo Particles left by his attacks and turn them into energy)
Resistance to:
- Elemental Manipulation (Elemental beings can resist the effects of Smaragdus Jadeite, which contains highly concentrated elemental energy[1])
- Corruption (Elemental beings can withstand the effects of Xiao's accumulated karma[2])
- Poison Manipulation (Venti is entirely comprised of Anemo energy, and thus is unaffected by standard poisons, as shown when he was incapable of getting drunk off of a ludicrous amount of Diluc's wine)
All previous abilities to a far greater extent plus:
- Shapeshifting (Took on the form of his deceased friend upon obtaining his Gnosis)
- Power Bestowal (Barbatos granted his power to the Four Winds of Mondstadt, and later again to Dvalin)
- Greater Elemental Manipulation (As the Anemo Archon, Venti can release concentrated elemental energy which can cause effects similar if not worse than Smaragdus Jadeite's concentrated elemental energy)
- True Flight (Barbatos can freely fly through the air using "the power of a thousand winds")
- Purification & Enhanced Empathic Manipulation (With the Holy Lyre der Himmel, which he attempted to use to pacify the maddened Dvalin)
All previous resistances to a far greater extent plus Resistance to:
- Improved Corruption & Poison Manipulation (He was able to resist the poison and corruption caused by Durin)
Attack Potency: Mountain level (Upon losing a Gnosis, he could still showcase part of his Archons powers, making him capable of fighting enemies like Fatui Soldiers with ease) | Country level (Since a Gnosis makes up a large portion of an Archons power, Venti at his peak should be comparable to the Raiden Shogun who never utilised her Gnosis in combat,[3] and Morax who successfully defeated Osial in his prime. Succesfully reshaped entire Mondstadt and threw the largest mountain.)
Speed: Hypersonic (Comparable to the likes of Amber who can also fight Fatui soldiers) | Massively Hypersonic+ (As the Anemo Archon he should be immensely superior to mortals such as Clorinde and Yelan aswell as comparable to his Archon peers such as Raiden)
Lifting Strength: Unknown | Class P with winds (Moved Pilos Peak, the largest mountain known to have existed in Teyvat, over Mondstadt, and into the deep oceans[Statistics Values 1])
Striking Strength: Mountain level (Can cast Anemo power to amplify his physical potency) | Country level (Can cast Anemo power to amplify his physical potency)
Durability: Mountain level (Like Allogenes,[4] Venti can create elemental force fields to defend himself[5] which should be comparable to his AP. Venti's own physical durability should scale with his own elemental power. Took several hits from Signora, was fine after having gnosis ripped out of his chest[6]) | Country level (Like Allogenes,[7] Venti can create elemental force fields to defend himself[8] which should be comparable to his AP[Statistics Values 2] Venti's own physical durability should scale with his own elemental power)
Stamina: Superhuman (As a wind spirit by nature, Venti is composed entirely out of Anemo Energy and so won't run out of stamina until his Anemo Energy is exhausted) | Unknown
Range: Hundreds of Meters with his Bow and Magic | At least Tens of Kilometers with his Gnosis (Flattened the mountains that once comprised the regions around Mondstadt with his winds)
Standard Equipment: Skyward Harp | The Holy Lyre der Himmel
Intelligence: At least Gifted (Despite his antics, Barbatos has many displays of intelligence when he takes his job as Archon seriously, such as when he deduced the truth behind Stanley the Adventurer and when he tricked the old Mondstadt aristocracy into losing their power during the time of Vennessa's rebellion. He also used his winds to guide the fall of Durin to the mountain that would become Dragonspine to eternally freeze the deadly poison that leaked from its corpse)
Weaknesses: None notable | Due to Erosion it will result in the loss of one's consciousness and sense of self, making them more irritable and suspect to explosive fits of rage; as a result, the more powerful a person is, the more dangerous they become under the effects of erosion.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: | |
Anemo Gnosis: The Gnosis is a divine tool used by The Seven Archons to resonate with and directly channel elemental energy from Celestia, granting control over the elements far surpassing that of any number of Visions. It gives each Archon their status as divine protectors of their respective lands and grants them far greater elemental power than they would've had before. In the case of the Anemo Archon's Gnosis, its power is also what allowed Venti to change his shape and granted him enough strength to dispel Decarabian's storm walls, shatter the icy landscapes of Andrius and reshape the whole geography of Mondstadt. After losing his Gnosis, Venti uses his natural abilities as a wind spirit to channel Anemo Energy instead.
