Taking part inGenshin Impact’sgacha system and pulling your favorite character is only the first step as you have to take the time to build them afterward. Once you’ve built a character like Varesa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, you’ll also have to work on creating the best team for her.
Varesa is one of the characters that you can meet in the Natlan region, and she excels at dealing high Plunge Attack damage. This gives you some obvious choices while making a team for Varesa, and here are your best options.
Iansan
Support
Varesa was first released during the Version 5.5 update, and Iansan was another character released in the same banner as her.These two characters have perfect synergy together since Iansan can increase Varesa’s ATKconstantly while also getting her own Nightsoul Points back as Varesa constantly moves around the battlefield.
As such, you’ll see Iansan being an integral part of every Varesa team,though you can also replace her with Bennett if you don’t have her built. Varesa is an on-field DPS character who can constantly deal multiple instances of Plunge Attack damage by using herCharged Attack followed by the Plunge.
You can activate aquicker version of her Charged Attack after using her Skill,which gets multiple replenishing charges.
Her Elemental Burst also has multiple instances, but the best one to use is right after yourPlunge Attack in the Fiery Passion state as it consumes less energyto deal more damage. Since she deals most of her damage from the Plunge Attacks, Xianyun becomes her best team member as her entire kit is based around buffing Plunge DMG.
Every time you use Xianyun’s Elemental Burst, you candeal much higher Plunging Attack DMG for the first eight such attacks. Finally, Xilonen is another massive part of this team as she can reduce the enemy’s RES shred while increasing Varesa’s overall damage.
With this team, you’ll also have the buffs ofboth Viridescent Venerer and the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder Cityartifact sets.
One change you can make in this team is replacing Xilonen with Furina. You can use the Scroll set on Iansan to still get its buffs whileFurina deals a ton of off-field damage and increases Varesa’s DMG. However, you’ll be losing a lot of important buffs, which will reduce Varesa’s personal damage significantly.
If you’re using the hypercarry team for Varesa, here’s how your rotation should look like:
Varesa’s main combination isusing her Skill - Charged Attack - Plunge Attack, and then repeating this cycle, except use your Burst at the end of the second execution.
However, since you have Xianyun in this team, you may ignore the use of the charged attack and go straight from the Skill to Plunge.
Chevreuse
Reaction Enabler
Chevreuse has been one of the greatest additionsin Genshin Impact since shenot only revived the Overload reaction, but also brought it to the centerof the current meta. If you have this character on your account, you can use the team mentioned above to get about the same, if not more value from Varesa’s hypercarry team.
While reading Varesa’s kit, you’ll notice a special passive that increases her ATK when your team members trigger Nightsoul Bursts, and this can stack up to two times. With three Natlan characters in this team,you can stack this buff fully within nine seconds.
Triggering Nightsoul Burst also activates the ATK bonus on Mavuika andlets Iansan heal the active character.
Pyro characters have been one of the strongest DPS units in the game, and this is no different for Mavuika. Chevreuse makes thiseven better as she reduces both Electro and Pyro RES of the enemies by 40 percentwhenever an Overload reaction is triggered in this team.
Another great part about this team is that it’ll only get better as your account gets oldersince you’ll get more constellations on both Chevreuse and Iansan. The former’s final constellation can provide an extra 20 percent DMG boost to Mavuika and Varesa while the latter’s constellations are filled with special buffs for Varesa.
With just two constellations on Iansan, you’re able to already make hergive an extra 30 percent ATK boost to Varesa.
With this team, your rotation will be fairly simple:
For this team, it’s important to use the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set on Iansan to get the 40 percent extra Elemental DMG bonus whileMavuika uses Obsidian Codex and Chevreuse uses Tenacity or Noblesse Oblige. For the F2P version of this team, you can also replace Mavuika with Xiangling, which also serves as the best F2P team for Varesa.
Xilonen
Support/Sustainer
Electro has been quite a non-meta element for a good part of Genshin Impact. The first time it entered the meta was during Sumeru’s release asthat brought reactions like Quicken and Aggravate to the game. Any Electro character getting released to the game now has a specific team around this reaction.
However, for Varesa, the value you get from the Aggravate team is less than the Overload and Hypercarry teams mentioned above. Though it’sstill enough to beat any endgame content you can think of. Nahida is an integral part of this team as her off-field Dendro applications drive the reaction.
While there isn’t a good F2P-friendly option to replace Nahida in this team,you’re able to also try using Collie, Kirara, or Emilie.
The role of both Xilonen and Iansan stays the same, and you canalways replace the former with Bennett or Kaedehara Kazuha. Here’s what your rotation should look like in this team:
Not only is this team difficult since it’s nearly impossible to always time the Aggravate trigger with the Burst, but it also focuses on dealing one big damage whileVaresa’s kit relies on dealing high damage constantly.
