Top & Best Varka Team

Varka Best Team

Varka is a Main DPS in the team. Varka Main DPS build is used.

Main DPS

Varka

After using his Elemental Skill, Varka enters a mixed damage mode, dealing damage through Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, a special Elemental Skill, and special Charged Attacks. One weapon deals Anemo DMG, while the other converts into Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo based on his teammates’ elements. His Elemental Burst deals AoE Anemo and Swirl DMG, but due to its relatively low damage, it should be used generally.

Sub DPS

Venti

Venti summons a Stormeye with his Elemental Burst that pulls in enemies and deals continuous Anemo damage, while his Normal Attacks turn into piercing Windsunder Arrows that extend the Stormeye’s duration when they hit.

In teams with at least two Hexerei characters, Swirl reactions triggered near the Stormeye briefly boost that character’s damage and further amplify the Stormeye’s damage output.

Support

Durin

Durin gains either the “Confirmation of Purity” or “Denial of Darkness” state through his Elemental Skill, and his Elemental Burst will also take on different forms depending on which state he is in. The “Confirmation of Purity” state focuses on support utility, providing continuous Off-field Pyro DMG while causing nearby party members, when they trigger Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize on enemies, or deal Pyro DMG or Dendro DMG to enemies affected by Burning, to reduce those enemies’ Pyro RES and the RES of the corresponding element. The “Denial of Darkness” state focuses on Durin’s own damage output, providing higher-damage Off-field Pyro DMG and further increasing Durin’s reaction damage in Vaporize or Melt teams. Additionally, when Durin is teamed up with a Hexerei character, both of the above effects will be further strengthened.

Healer/Support

Bennett

Bennett’s Elemental Burst provides huge ATK buff and healing to other members. When the Pyro Element from Bennett is contacted by Wanderer’s Elemental Skill, Wanderer’s ATK is increased by 30%.
