Varesa, the new five-star magic weapon character with thunder attribute in “Genshin Impact”, has attracted widespread attention from players since her debut. She is not only a representative output character of the thunder system, but also one of the powerful main Cs in the hands of many players with her unique falling attack mechanism. In version 5.5, she brings stronger output capabilities and higher flexibility, especially in her “burning passion” state, which can perform high-frequency burst damage. How to cultivate Varesa and her best team matching strategy are the focus of every player.
Varesa character background and skill mechanism
Varesa’s design combines high burst, strong mobility and thunder damage bonus, suitable for output as a main C. In her skill setting, the most core features are her falling attack and elemental burst, which can quickly accumulate night soul points and trigger the “burning passion” state, thereby increasing damage and enhancing anti-interruption ability.
Normal Attacks: Wrestling
Varetha’s normal attack skills include multiple combos, especially her falling attack (heavy attack), which has high damage output. Her falling attack is greatly improved when in the “Fiery Passion” state, so improving this skill will make Varesha more deadly in combat.
Elemental Combat Skills: Night Leap
The Night Leap skill allows Varesha to quickly move near enemies and accumulate Night Soul points for her. This skill itself does not directly provide damage bonus, but it can effectively increase Varesha’s mobility, helping her get close to enemies and trigger more falling attacks.
Elemental Burst: Lightning Descent
Lightning Descent is Varesha’s main damage output skill, which can restore her Night Soul points and immediately enter the “Fiery Passion” state. In this state, Varesha can release stronger falling attacks, causing burst damage to enemies. As her core skill, Elemental Burst should be prioritized first.
Priority of Varesha’s Talent Improvement
Varetha’s talent improvement focuses on her damage output ability, especially normal attacks and elemental burst. Here is the recommended talent priority:
Elemental Burst: Flashfall (★★★★)
Varesha’s Elemental Burst skill is the key to her output. Improving this skill not only increases the damage of the Elemental Burst itself, but also allows you to enter the “Fiery Passion” state more quickly. Since “Fiery Passion” is the core of Varesha’s burst output, this is a priority skill to improve.
Normal Attack: Wrestling (★★★)
Since Varesha’s output relies on falling attacks, improving the level of normal attack skills can significantly increase her damage output. Although the damage of normal attacks does not directly affect the effect of her elemental burst, it is still the key to improving overall output.
Elemental Combat Skill: Night Rainbow Leap (★)
Although the elemental combat skill can help Varesha accumulate night soul points and enhance mobility, its own damage is not high, so it ranks at the lowest priority in talent improvement. This skill can be gradually improved as needed.
Choose the right weapon: Improve Varesha’s output potential
Varesha’s weapon selection needs to focus on her output characteristics, especially falling attacks and critical damage. Here are some of the best weapons for Varesa:
Colorful Mind (5-star exclusive weapon)
Colorful Mind is the best exclusive weapon for Varesa. It provides a critical damage bonus and provides additional critical damage boost on falling attacks, which perfectly matches Varesa’s skill mechanism. It not only enhances Varesa’s critical output, but also increases her damage for a short period of time.
Sky Atlas (5-star weapon)
This weapon provides high attack power and elemental damage bonus, which can improve Varesa’s overall output. Although its special effects mainly rely on normal attacks, it is still a good choice for Varesa to increase her elemental damage.
Echo of the Crane (5-star alternative weapon)
Echo of the Crane increases the damage of falling attacks and provides teammates with a damage bonus to falling attacks when the enemy is hit. This makes it a suitable weapon to enhance Varesa’s output, especially when cooperating with multiple people, which can enhance the overall output of the team.
Sun Pearl (4-star weapon)
For players with a lower budget, the Sun Pearl is a cost-effective weapon. It provides a critical hit rate bonus and can increase the damage of elemental combat skills and elemental burst after normal attacks. As a four-star weapon, it is very cost-effective and suitable for players who are just starting to cultivate Varesha.
Relic Matching: Maximizing Output and Buff Effects
The combination of relics determines Varesha’s output talent. The following are the recommended best relic sets and sub-items:
Oath of the Long Night (Best Relic Set)
The Oath of the Long Night set is the best choice for Varesha, especially its four-piece effect, which can significantly increase her falling attack damage. The “Eternal Flowing Radiance” effect of the four-piece set can increase the damage of falling attacks after hitting the enemy, which is the key to improving Varesha’s output.
Desert Pavilion Chronicle (Alternative Set)
If you don’t have a suitable Oath of the Long Night set, the Desert Pavilion Chronicle is a good alternative. It can increase Varesha’s damage when the elemental energy is 0, and increase the damage bonus of normal attacks and elemental bursts. For Varesha, this set of relics can greatly improve her sustained output ability.
Recommended Items:
Sands of Time: Attack Power %
Cup of Void: Lightning Damage Bonus
Crown of Reason: Critical Hit Rate or Critical Damage
For sub-items, prioritize Critical Hit Rate, Critical Damage, Attack Power % and Energy Recovery to maintain Varesa’s high-frequency output and charging efficiency.
Best Team Match: Maximize Varesa’s Damage
As a main C character, Varesa needs to be paired with a suitable auxiliary character to enhance her output and survivability. The following are two common team matches for Varesa:
Main C Team Match
When Varesa is the main C, it is best to pair it with an auxiliary character that can provide a buff effect. For example, Bennett’s Elemental Burst can increase Varesa’s attack power, and Thunder General can provide her with energy recovery and increase lightning damage. Other suitable auxiliary characters include Ganyu, Barbara, etc.
Overload Team Match
Varesa can be paired with a fire character (such as Diluk or Xiangling) to increase damage through overload reactions, especially when there are many enemy groups, which can maximize Varesa’s output. In addition, characters that provide energy recovery and attack power bonuses, such as Bennett and Sucrose, are also very suitable for pairing with Varesa.
Summary: Varesa, the embodiment of the power of thunder and lightning
Varesa is a high-burst, high-mobility main C character who can cause extremely terrible damage in a short period of time with her powerful falling attacks and elemental bursts. By reasonably improving her talents, choosing suitable weapons and relics, and pairing with suitable auxiliary characters, you will be able to give full play to Varesa’s advantages and let her release the power of thunder and lightning on the battlefield. As she is gradually cultivated in the game, her output will reach an astonishing height and become your absolute main force in battle.
