Tier Rating

As a Main DPS
Varesa's damage ceiling and unique multipliers as a Plunging DPS have allowed her to keep up with the meta, as most of her damage is Frontloaded in terms of her Plunging strikes, which is what the current meta has shifted to.

While her teams have not changed much in terms of composition, Varesa still rivals the damage output that other top DPS units can, and is one of the other top DPS units that have flexibility in both team composition and teammate choice without losing out on damage.

Varesa Ascension and Talent Materials

Varesa Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• High innate damage potential due to most of her attacks coming from Plunges, which are known to have high damage scalings. • Self-enabling DPS that can set herself up to utilize most of her kit, and having dedicated supports amplifies her damage and ease of use exponentially. • Plunge playstyle allows her to potentially avoid damage during normal combat without needing to go out of her way to dodge. • Nightsoul Transmission gives Varesa a way to quickly traverse within Natlan across land and sea.
Weaknesses
• Does not have access to amplifying reactions like Melt or Vaporize as a plunging attacker, although her base DMG compensates the fact. • Does not have a lot of synergistic weapon choices with good passives apart from her own Signature Weapon.

Varesa Best Builds

Built As A Plunge CRIT DPS

Focus on building Varesa's CRIT and ATK to enhance her personal damage, with Energy Recharge for Burst convenience and optional Elemental Mastery stats for usage if run with Dendro allies.

Since Varesa's main source of damage comes from her plunge attacks, these normally deal high damage due to how Plunge DMG scales, so her default artifact is the new Long Night's Oath artifact.

Varesa will normally run the Long Night's Oath plunge set, which means her CRIT ratio should be prioritized to be as close to 1:2 as possible. Proper investment into this set will likely result in the most personal damage for Varesa.

Alternatively, she can also make use of Obsidian Codex, which allows her to forego CRIT Rate in favor of more CRIT DMG or ATK, and can outperform a mediocre Long Night's Oath set with enough investment.

* These weapons are only used for the CRIT Main Stat as a stat stick, but their weapon effects do not necessarily work with Varesa.

Varesa Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Normal Attack	Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill

While we should level up all Varesa's talents as the Main DPS, you can prioritize leveling up Varesa's Normal Attack talent first as her normal Plunging Attack damage scales with it.

Afterwards, we opt to level her Elemental Burst for the Burst damage it provides with the scalings the special Plunge has, then finally her Elemental Skill as it is mostly used as a way to activate and keep Varesa in Nightsoul's Blessing, but is used frequently.

Varesa Best Artifacts

Long Night's Oath for Varesa

For artifacts, running 4-pc. Long Night's Oath is Varesa's best bet for damage as it stacks her plunging damage by up to 100% more if all 5 stacks are triggered.

She can also run 4-pc. Obsidian Codex by virtue of being a Nightsoul-aligned character, but can also make use of a mix of 2-pc. Long Night's Oath and Electro DMG or ATK sets while farming for her optimal set.

Choose CRIT Or ATK Weapons For Varesa

Due to Varesa's unique position as a Plunging DPS, Vivid Notions is tailor-made to be her weapon of choice, as it will likely have a passive that specifically synergizes with Varesa's kit.

Otherwise, Catalysts such as Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds or The Widsith can work for Varesa due to their general benefits, but other Stat-Stick catalysts like Kagura's Verity or Cashflow Supervision can also work for her.

Varesa Best Team Comps

Varesa Slots Into Hypercarry Teams

Due to the explosive nature of Varesa's plunging attacks, she can slot best into Hypercarry teams with a dedicated plunge support like Xianyun, or in Dendro teams where she can make use of the amplified damage.

Otherwise, she can also slot into Overload or Electro-Charged teams where she can plunge and create space against multiple targets.

Notable Teammates

Character	Explanation
Iansan	Support Varesa's Plunges can easily maintain and maximize Iansan's buff. Moreover, Iansan can equip 4pc Scroll to further buff Varesa
Xianyun	Support The premier buffer for Plunge Attack DPS. Xianyun further buffs Varesa with 4pc Viridescent Venerer. It's important to note that Varesa would still prefer using her skill and Charged Attack to Plunge because of her A1 passive and Nightsoul points.
Furina	Support Provides off-field Hydro DMG for Varesa to trigger Electro-Charged, but more importantly, Furina provides an insane amount of DMG% buff. Moreover, Varesa is often paired with Healer supports, so its generate fanfare consistently on her team.
Xilonen	Support RES Shred and 4pc Scroll can heavily benefit Varesa's DMG. Xilonen also provides healing on top of that.
Chevreuse	Support Chevy is the premier Overload support and tends to have a team archetype with Varesa's Plunge playstyle. She provides an ATK bonus, RES Shred, Healing, and DMG% buff at C6, making her a valuable teammate for Varesa Overload.
Mavuika	Sub DPS Mavuika in Varesa teams will act more of Sub DPS than her usual Main DPS role. She functions as a quickswap and off-field damage dealer and is usually placed alongside Chevreuse for an Overload Team.
Bennett	Support The best ATK buffer that Varesa appreciates. However, Bennet's burst range limits Varesa, making it difficult to maximize it.

Varesa Hypercarry Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Support
Varesa	Furina	Iansan	Xianyun
Varesa	Furina	Xilonen	Xianyun

You may opt to run Varesa as a solo carry with three supports that are meant to increase her own personal damage, relying solely on her ability to deal high Electro DMG to remove obstacles from the field.

Varesa Overload Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Support
Varesa	Mavuika	Iansan	Chevreuse
Varesa	Traveler (Pyro)	Chevreuse	Iansan

Against multiple opponents, Varesa also has the option of running an Overload comp against them as the Pyro application between her Electro Plunges can set up plenty of AoE damage opportunities.

Varesa Aggravate Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Support
Varesa	Nahida	Fischl	Xianyun
Varesa	Nahida	Iansan	Baizhu

Varesa can frequently trigger Dendro reactions and deal even more enhanced Plunge damage due to Aggravate's strong Dendro application, improving her plunge damage even more.

Varesa Electro-Charged Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Support
Varesa	Ororon	Furina	Xianyun

Varesa can also function in an Electro-Charged team, with her Electro presence being able to trigger Electro-Charge procs, making it a good option for multi-target scenarios where Elite opponents are present.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★☆	• After using her Special Elemental Burst, increases the damage done by the succeeding Plunging Attack by 150%. • Consumes 30% less Nightsoul Points or Phlogiston if being used as a traversal tool.
C2	★★★	• Allows Varesa to use her Special Elemental Burst with a 100% uptime on it. • Restores energy upon striking an opponent with her Plunging Attacks, and can be spammed to regain energy quickly.
C4	★★☆	• Gives Varesa a 500% ATK increase on her Plunge if her Elemental Burst is cast without Fiery Passion or Apex Drive, which is often when she is in Nightsoul's Blessing. • Otherwise, gives her Elemental Burst a 100% DMG increase if she is in Fiery Passion or Apex Drive.

C2 Is Varesa's Most Effective Constellation

Varesa's C2 is a great stop for most who are looking to maximize Varesa's DMG effectiveness, as she can pretty much use her Special Elemental Burst every 2 - 3 Plunge Attacks.

This is great in tandem with her C1, which increases the damage of her Plunge Attack after the Special Elemental Burst, and this damage boost can take in effect after every Special Elemental Burst.

Charged Attacks Raise Her To The Air

In Varesa's normal state, using her Charged Attack sends her into the air after the initial Charged damage, allowing her to plunge down for a second, more powerful attack.

Elemental Skill

Riding the Night-Rainbow
With footwork swift as lightning and fierce as thunder, Varesa displays the true spirit of lucha libre, rushing forward a certain distance and dealing Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG to opponents in her path.

Sudden Onrush
Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. In this state, Varesa's Movement SPD and interruption resistance are increased. She can use terrain to execute flying leaps or consume additional Nightsoul points to traverse atop water or liquid Phlogiston while remaining immune to DMG from the latter.

Elemental Skill Activates Special State

Activating Varesa's Elemental Skill causes her to enter a special combat state that does a few things for her.

Normal Attacks Lead to Plunge Opportunities

Instead of having to use Plunge Attacks, Varesa can just tap the Normal Attack button and gain the same plunge opportunity as with her normal Charged Attack.

This effectively adds more convenience and movement to Varesa's kit.

Increases Attack Speed

In this state, Varesa's attack speed is increased, allowing her to output more damage quickly.

On its own, this does not do much for Varesa on the ground, but since she gets raised into the air with her Normal Attacks in this state, this attack speed buff increases her Plunging Attack frequency and DPS.

Special Elemental Burst at Full Nightsoul Points

Varesa gains Nightsoul Points through successful plunges, and can enter the "Fiery Passion" state, allowing her to partially use her Elemental Burst to perform an enhanced Plunge Attack.

This part of her kit can seemingly be repeated throughout her Elemental Skill's uptime, allowing you to perform enhanced Charged Attacks multiple times.

Can Be Held to Sprint at Great Speeds

As with most Natlan characters, Varesa is capable of using some part of her arsenal as a travesal tool, especially in Natlan's terrain.

When holding her Elemental Skill, Varesa sprints forward and is capable of breaking down obstacles, performing leaps, and treading across water. This act consumes her Nightsoul Points, then Phlogiston if it is available.

Elemental Burst

Guardian Vent!
Leaps into the air before using the momentum of the drop to unleash a powerful flying kick, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG to opponents — just like those heroes of justice in woven scrolls for kids! After using this Skill, Varesa's Nightsoul points will be restored to maximum and she will enter the Fiery Passion state. Increases Varesa's interruption resistance. While affected by Apex Drive, Varesa can ignore her Elemental Burst CD and consume less Energy to use her special Elemental Burst, "Guardian Vent: Volcano Kablam": This causes her to use the especially powerful Plunging Attack, "Thunderous Tornado Eruption," which deals Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG upon landing before causing her to exit Apex Drive. This DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG. Varesa will exit Apex Drive after using her Elemental Skill. In the Fiery Passion state, Varesa's Elemental Burst will deal a greater amount of Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG. Additionally, she will briefly activate Apex Drive after using a Plunging Attack while in her Fiery Passion state.

Additionally, she will briefly activate Apex Drive after using a Plunging Attack while in her Fiery Passion state.

Elemental Burst Extends Special Attack State

Apart from the Burst DMG that her Elemental Burst inflicts, it seems to immediately put her into her "Fiery Passion" state, allowing her immediate access to her enhanced Plunge Attacks.

Passive Talent 1

Tag-Team Triple Jump!
After using the Elemental Skill Riding the Night-Rainbow, Varesa gains "Rainbow Crash" for 5s. During this time, when Varesa uses a Plunging Attack, the shockwave DMG dealt when she hits the ground is increased by 50% of her ATK. If Varesa is in the Fiery Passion state, this ground impact DMG is increased by 180% of her ATK instead. The Rainbow Crash effect will be canceled once a ground impact hits an opponent, or when its duration expires.

Night Realm's Gift: A Torch That Incinerates Evil
After Nightsoul points have been fully depleted, Varesa will switch to using Phlogiston to maintain the Sudden Onrush mode from her Nightsoul's Blessing. While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, Nightsoul Transmission: Varesa can be used. When the current active character is sprinting or in movement modes caused by certain Talents, or at a certain height in the air, switching to Varesa will trigger the following: Varesa enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state, switches to Sudden Onrush mode, and obtains 20 Nightsoul points.

Thoughts About Varesa

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Escoffier	Oh, Varesa? The fruit from her orchard is amazing. Biting into one is like being transported to a lazy summer's day. She could charge me an extra twenty percent, and it would still be worth it! So, I always treat her to a meal after every purchase. Her appetite is astonishing. It may look like she scarfs it all down in one bite, but if you actually talk to her about the food, it's obvious she appreciates the subtle details. In other words, she has the appetite and palate to back it up - I love serving food to people like that!
Iansan	Attitude: Ah, Varesa ... She's my star student, my pride and joy. I hope she hasn't made a bad impression on you ... Oh - no, not like that. When push comes to shove, I'm sure she pulls her weight in battle, and I know she has things under control at the end of the day. It's just, she can be a little ... too relaxed, you know? I feel like if I'm not there constantly pushing her to stay focused, she'll lose all sense of time and treat every day like she's on vacation. Leave the house to run an errand, but then saunter along without a care in the world, letting herself get distracted by every morsel of food she passes along the way ... Once in a while that's fine, but you can't live like that when you're out adventuring, and the stakes are so high! Anyway, I've told her all this before, so hopefully I've gotten through to her by now. But ... the other thing that worries me is the amount of food she needs. I mean, you tell me - is it really practical to go hiking through the hills with a sack of food on your back the size of a baby tatankasaur? Moderation: My biggest concern for Varesa right now is that her energy management seems out of control. Her metabolism seems like it's stuck on a high-burn mode, meaning she wastes an awful lot of energy, and I suspect that's the cause of her alarming appetite. I do hope she takes some time to look into what makes her this way. I'd love to see her gain the ability to manage her energy expenditure a little better, so she doesn't need to eat like a horse every single meal ... I mean, it's nice to see her thoroughly enjoy her food, but at the same time, I want to urge her to be more mindful of what she's putting in her body. It's never a good idea to just gorge yourself - you have to pay attention to nutrition and quantity, and especially limit your fat and sugar intake. Much better to get her diet under control now than have to deal with the consequences when she develops health issues later in life.
Mavuika	During the Pilgrimage, I cover all the expenses at the Weary Inn, and without fail, there's always an order for a party tray for eighty. I used to assume it was someone ordering for a large group of friends, but as it turns out... Varesa ordered it all for herself.

Varesa's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Citlali	About Citlali Oh, I've seen her name in the readers' letters column of some comic books. Granny Itztli is extremely well respected - she's the most powerful hero from the Masters of the Night-Wind! But I gotta say, I always assumed she'd look way older... I didn't recognize her at all when I found her in the tavern in a drunken stupor. She didn't have a single Mora on her and she was mumbling to herself, but the only words I could make out were "Masters of the Night-Wind." So, I paid her bill, threw her over my shoulder, carried her over to the Masters of the Night-Wind, and started asking around for "Granny Itztli." But whenever people turned to look at this person slumped over my shoulder, a look of horror would creep over their face... And then it slowly started to dawn on me that something wasn't quite right...
Dori	About Dori Oh... Isn't she that... big boss lady who's surprisingly small... but still has infinitely deep pockets? Oof... she's a fierce haggler... Every time she comes to buy fruit from us, she manages to slash at least thirty to forty percent off the selling price, and that's on a good day! On the plus side, though, at least she buys huge amounts - multiple cartloads at a time. And she lets me pet her Shaggy Sumpter Beast. It's so fluffy, and such a big cutie...
Escoffier	About Escoffier Miss Escoffier has really strict standards... Every time her restaurant places a bulk order for my fruit, she picks out a few for... what's it called... yeah, "sample analysis." If the sweetness or flavor is even slightly off, she rejects the whole batch... But then again, her cooking? Out of this world. Sooo delicious... Hehehe... If only I could eat it every day! I guess I'd probably have to be a god to afford that.
Iansan	About Iansan Coach and Commander: Iansan is my coach. I look up to her the most out of anyone! She helped me discover my true strength, taught me how to fight, and even got me a job in our tribe's Patrol Team. She's pretty well respected in the patrol team, so most of the time she gives me my orders, and I go join the fighting wherever I'm needed. I guess that makes her both my coach and my commander, too!
Kinich	About Kinich I haven't entered the Pilgrimage that many times, but once, I came up against Kinich during the group stage. That guy is so nimble... He was just dodging all of my moves until I completely exhausted myself, then he knocked me out cold with one hit... By the time I realized that maybe I should get my teammates to help me pin him down... he and the Sacred Flame were long gone.
Mavuika	About Mavuika I heard that the plates Mavuika uses on her barbell lifts are five times the weight of her flamestrider! And that she uses ten plates minimum just as a warmup... I also heard a rumor that she can lift a boulder the size of a Long-Necked Rhino with just two fingers! If anyone else was crazy strong like that, I'm sure I'd be too self-conscious to lift weights in front of them. But with Mavuika, it's different... I find the sound of her voice so reassuring, and the look in her eyes is so inspiring and encouraging. It makes me want to push myself as hard as I possibly can every single day. Sure, I may never catch up to her, but that's no excuse to give up. I'm gonna believe in myself, and be the best Varesa I can be!
Mualani	About Mualani There was this time when Coach Iansan noticed I'd overshot my target weight, and decided I needed a cutting phase. Since swimming's supposed to be good for fat-burning, she arranged for me to do an intensive program over at the People of the Springs territory. I'd be there swimming lengths, while Mualani was surfing around and towing Coach Iansan in a life preserver, so she could monitor my progress... Every day, she made me do pretty much the same distance as I do in my 30 thousand-step shuttle runs... shudder... Thank goodness Mualani was secretly slipping me some candy to keep my energy up. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have survived... I'm so grateful to her...
Xilonen	About Xilonen When I was learning my crafting skills from the Children of Echoes, Muhuru's Gemporium is where I went to study. The craftspeople there talked about Xilonen all the time! I actually only saw her around once or twice, and I never got the chance to talk to her - but boy, did I get familiar with her music taste! She put together the playlist they have on in the shop, and all the tracks are super catchy. Really good beats - perfect for running, too. I swear, I can go for way longer on my shuttle runs when that stuff's playing!

doesnt seems to work imho unfortunately 🥲 Youd better off with Flin+Columbina on thdir own(supposed columbina buffhim. And pair the two with Xingqiu or Yelan + Fischl or Ineffa), and Varesa+Furina... pair then with Iansan+ a healer like Jean or Bennett(if you have that bird adaptus lady, her), suppose you have Iansan in your roster. Imo double dps scenerio doesnt feel right with these esp. Varesa as she is greedy on field time just like food lol

Chihiro 24 days

If we look on the team dps then is the rank list: 1.) Mavuika 2.) Skirk 3.) Nefer 4.) Varesa 5.) Flins 6.) Neuvi 7.) Arle and anymore. A player with correct game play makes really many damage with her. Yes Arle & Neuvi more flex about team building and don't need really each time premium team, but for a tier list about Main DPS is also the damage important. This ranking is correct.
