In the latest update of Genshin Impact 5.5, Varesa emerges as a prominent new 5-star character. Originating from Natlan, this Electro unit wields a Catalyst and is primarily designed as a Plunge Attack DPS. Her versatile nature allows her to blend seamlessly into various team compositions, enhancing gameplay for both new and experienced players.
As with any 5-star character, Varesa’s constellations significantly impact her overall performance and utility in combat. This guide delves into each of her constellations, assessing their comparative value to assist players in making informed decisions on character pulls.
Varesa’s Constellations and Their Value in Genshin Impact
C1 – Undying Passion
The effects of the Passive Talent “Tag-Team Triple Jump!”are enhanced. When performing the Special Plunging Attack “Thunderous Tornado Eruption,”Varesa will also gain “Rainbow Crash”for 5s. When “Rainbow Crash”is in effect, Varesa’s Plunging Attack ground impact DMG is increased by 180% of her ATK, whether she is in the Fiery Passion state or not. You must first unlock the Passive Talent “Tag-Team Triple Jump!”to access the above effect. Additionally, when Varesa is in the Sudden Onrush mode of her Nightsoul’s Blessing, she consumes 30% less Nightsoul points or Phlogiston.
Varesa’s C1 offers a crucial upgrade, providing an immense 180% damage boost to her Plunge Attacks while simultaneously reducing Nightsoul point consumption. This advantage not only enhances her combat capabilities but also aids in exploration activities. Players looking to enhance Varesa’s performance should prioritize her C1 constellation.
- Pull Value: HIGH
C2 – Beyond the Edge of Light
Varesa will enter Apex Drive after using a Plunging Attack, regardless of whether she is in the Fiery Passion state or not. When Apex Drive is active, Varesa’s interruption resistance will also further increase. Additionally, Varesa will restore 11.5 Energy when her Plunging Attack ground impact hits an opponent.
C2 introduces the ability for Varesa to seamlessly enter the Apex Drive state with every Plunging Attack, enhancing her resistance to interruptions and bypassing the cooldown for her Elemental Burst. Coupled with Energy restoration upon each hit, this constellation makes it significantly easier to engage in high-damage rotations.
- Pull Value: HIGH
C3 – Unbowed Resolve
Increases the Level of Guardian Vent! by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
The C3 constellation enhances Varesa’s Elemental Burst by raising its maximum upgrade level, but this upgrade is not essential. As Varesa’s damage largely derives from Plunge Attacks, this constellation is more of a supplementary enhancement rather than a game-changer.
- Pull Value: LOW
C4 – The Courage to Press On
Varesa will receive various buffs based on her state when using her Elemental Burst Guardian Vent! If Varesa:
· Has neither Fiery Passion nor Apex Drive active, she will gain Diligent Refinement for 15s, which will increase her Plunging Attack ground impact DMG by 500% of her ATK, with a maximum increase of 20,000 DMG.
This effect will be canceled once the ground impact hits an opponent, or if its duration ends.
If she has either Fiery Passion or Apex Drive active, this instance of her Elemental Burst Guardian Vent! deals 100% increased DMG.
The C4 constellation offers a substantial boost to Varesa’s Plunge Attack damage, as well as increasing the damage output of her Elemental Burst. Players aiming to enhance Varesa’s combat effectiveness should consider pursuing this constellation.
- Pull Value: MEDIUM
C5 – Thoughts Floating on the Warm Breeze
Increases the Level of Normal Attack: By the Horns by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Varesa’s C5 improves her Normal Attack level, which contributes significantly to her damage output since her Plunging Attacks are classified as Normal Attacks. Thus, investing in this constellation is a good choice.
- Pull Value: MEDIUM
C6 – A Hero of Justice’s Triumph
Varesa restores 30 Energy when she enters Apex Drive. Her Plunging Attacks and Elemental Burst Guardian Vent! gain 10% CRIT Rate and 100% CRIT DMG. Additionally, when Varesa uses the Hold version of her Elemental Skill Riding the Night-Rainbow, or Taps her Elemental Skill while in the Sudden Onrush mode, she will restore Nightsoul points up to her maximum.
The C6 constellation significantly enhances Varesa’s CRIT rate and damage, coupled with a generous Energy restoration mechanic. This allows her to maintain frequent Plunging Attacks and Elemental Bursts, ensuring she remains a formidable DPS character throughout encounters. Given the investment value for a DPS role, unlocking C6 is highly advantageous.
