Is Venti still good in the Genshin Impact meta for Spiral Abyss?

Genshin Impact has constantly evolved since its release. One of the very first limited banner characters released was Venti, the Anemo Archon. Like many of the early characters, Venti used to be regarded as one of the best to use in the Spiral Abyss. So, how is he now?

He is not very viable, for the most part. Venti isn't nearly as effective in the Spiral Abyss as he used to be. This is because his Burst is meant to pull enemies in, and many of the enemies that are present in the Abyss now can't be pulled. This means that he isn't going to help you hit high damage numbers.

Kazuha is the current Anemo star in the Spiral Abyss due to his ability to deal AoE Swirl damage with his Burst. With this wide field of effect, Kazuha can even hit boss enemies that can't be pulled toward him with his Elemental skill. In fact, it's more cost-effective to just get a C6 Sucrose over pulling for Venti.
