Who is Vivid Notions Good For?

Recommended Characters
Varesa ImageVaresa

Great for Plunging Catalyst Users

Vivid Notions is Varesa's best-in-slot weapon due to her overall kit, which increases the wielder's overall ATK and Plunging Attack. The effects of this weapon can be further increased by pairing it up with the Long Night's Oath artifact.

Additionally, other Catalysts are also viable to use Vivid Notions only if paired up with Xianyun, as she can help you perform Plunging Attacks with her Elemental Burst.
