Varka

Manifest the true essence of Favonius Bladework with absolute power. Produces different effects depending on whether the skill is Tapped or Held.

Tap

Leap forward and slash in one fluid motion, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and switching to Sturm und Drang mode.

While in Sturm und Drang, Varka's Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG is increased, and he cannot perform Plunging Attacks. Also, when performing Normal or Charged Attacks, Varka's dual-wielded claymores will deal corresponding Elemental DMG based on the Elemental Types of the characters in the party, respectively. This Elemental DMG cannot be overridden by infusions.

Additionally, when in Sturm und Drang, if there are Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo characters in the party, Varka's Elemental Skill Windbound Execution will be converted to the special Elemental Skill, Four Winds' Ascension, dealing corresponding Elemental DMG and Anemo DMG. Additionally, Varka can also expend uses of the special Elemental Skill Four Winds' Ascension to perform a special Charged Attack, Azure Devour, that does not consume stamina to deal corresponding Elemental DMG and Anemo DMG.

Hold

After charging for a while, leap forward. The duration of the charge will increase the distance of the leap.

In the name of the mightiest Knight of Boreas, unleash a powerful double slash attack toward the front, dealing 2 instances of Anemo DMG.

If there are Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo characters in the party, the first slash will be converted to deal corresponding Elemental DMG according to the aforementioned priority order of Elemental Types.

When there are Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo characters in the party, according to the aforementioned priority order of Elemental Types, every 1,000 points of Varka's ATK will grant Varka a 10% Anemo DMG Bonus and corresponding Elemental DMG Bonus (among the aforementioned Elemental Types, only one element can gain bonus DMG this way). Up to 25% bonus DMG can be gained this way.

Additionally, if there are at least 2 Anemo characters, or at least 2 characters of the same Element among Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo in the party, the Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, Special Charged Attack Azure Devour and the special Elemental Skill Four Winds' Ascension that Varka deals or unleashes while in the Sturm und Drang mode will deal 140% of their original DMG. If there are at least 2 Anemo characters and at least 2 other characters of the same element among Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo present in the party at the same time, the aforementioned effect will be increased to 220%.

When nearby party members trigger Swirl reaction(s), Varka gains one stack of Azure Fang's Oath, increasing the DMG dealt by his Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, special Charged Attack Azure Devour and special Elemental Skill Four Winds' Ascension by 7.5% for 8s. Max 4 stacks. Each character can grant Varka with 1 stack of Azure Fang's Oath every second this way.

For every party member from Mondstadt, the Hold version of Varka's Elemental Skill Windbound Execution's CD is decreased by 5%.

This effect does not trigger in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss.

After completing Witch's Homework: The Untitled Question, Varka will become a Hexerei character. When the party includes at least 2 Hexerei characters, you will gain the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, which enhances Hexerei characters.

Hexerei: Secret Rite

Enhances the special Elemental Skill Four Winds' Ascension: When Varka hits an opponent with Normal Attack(s) in Sturm und Drang, the CD of Four Winds' Ascension will be reduced by 1s.
