Genshin - Defeat Boreas Shadow

Varka has a special interaction with the Shadow of a Sword, which is the Bloodstained Knight's Sword, located behind the Local Legend, The Homesick Lonewolf!

Once Varka interacts with the sword, he'll be teleported into a domain similar to the one in Wolvendom. Defeat Boreas' Shadow and you'll be rewarded with his exclusive weapon skin!

Varka Weapon Skin Changes

Changes to Color, Shape, and Aesthetic

Genshin Varka Weapon Skin

Varka's claymores will change to a red and silver color scheme and a slimmer blade compared to his original claymores. The overall aesthetic is similar to the Bloodstained Knight's design, with the iron-ish design and cross signs in its fuller. The changes to his claymores are as follows:

  1. Changes the color from silver base and turns darker until it has a bright red pointed tip.
  2. The blade is slimmer in comparison to the original's thicker blade.
  3. The aesthetic matches the Black Sword and Bloodstained Chivalry.
