Who Is Arataki Itto?

Arataki Itto is a 5-star Geo Claymore character from Inazuma, released in Version 2.3 (November 24, 2021). He is the leader of the Arataki Gang and a proud descendant of the crimson oni. His gameplay revolves around the Superlative Superstrength mechanic, where Charged Attacks (Arataki Kesagiri) consume stacks to deliver powerful slashing combos. His Burst converts all attacks to Geo DMG and gains ATK based on DEF, making him a sustained on-field Geo DPS who thrives in Mono-Geo teams.

Best Artifacts

Recommended Sets

Set	Bonus	When to Use
4pc Husk of Opulent Dreams	DEF +25%; Geo DMG bonus stacks	Best in slot. Perfectly synergizes with DEF scaling.

Main Stats

Slot	Main Stat
Sands	DEF%
Goblet	Geo DMG Bonus
Circlet	CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

Substats Priority: Energy Recharge (until requirement) > CRIT DMG/Rate > DEF%

Energy Recharge Requirement: 130–140% (lower with C2 or multiple Geo teammates). Do NOT use ER sands.

Best Weapons

Weapon	Rarity	Why
Redhorn Stonethresher	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Signature weapon. CRIT DMG substat and high DEF scaling. Best in slot.
Serpent Spine	⭐⭐⭐⭐	CRIT Rate substat. Strong but stacks conflict with Husk — pair with shielder.
Whiteblind	⭐⭐⭐⭐	DEF% substat synergizes well. Solid forgeable F2P pick.
Skyward Pride	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	ER substat eases energy needs. Good standard-banner option.

Constellations

Constellation	Effect	Value
C0	Fully functional main DPS. High investment floor (needs Lv.90).	—
C1	Grants and regenerates Superlative Superstrength stacks during Burst.	~6% gain. QoL.
C2	Per Geo teammate in party, reduces Burst CD and restores energy.	~8.66% gain. Worth pulling for QoL.
C4	After Burst ends, +20% DEF and +20% ATK to all party members.	Team buff.
C6	CRIT DMG of Charged Attacks +70%, plus 50% chance to not consume stacks.	Premium damage spike. Top pull target.

Recommendation: C0 is fully functional. C2 is the best QoL constellation for energy and rotation comfort. C6 is the transformative damage ceiling for whale investment.

Summary

Arataki Itto is a sustained on-field Geo DPS whose Burst state converts all attacks to Geo DMG and scales ATK off DEF. His Arataki Kesagiri Charged Attacks, enhanced by Superlative Superstrength stacks, deliver consistent Geo DMG that scales with both DEF and CRIT. Build him with 4pc Husk of Opulent Dreams and DEF%/Geo DMG/CRIT main stats. Redhorn Stonethresher is his best weapon, but Whiteblind is a solid forgeable F2P alternative. He thrives in Mono-Geo teams with Gorou as his essential support. Take him to Lv.90 for maximum DEF scaling. C0 is fully functional; C2 is the best QoL constellation.
