    Varka’s rumored kit and constellations in Genshin Impact, based on leaks

    As mentioned, two credible leakers in the Genshin Impact scene, Seele and X1, have shared the details of Varka’s rumored kit. Based on all the promotional content released so far, we learned that he was an Anemo character who wielded the Claymore weapon in combat.

    Furthermore, during the Genshin Impact Luna IV livestream, the developers revealed the silhouettes of characters that will be playable in future Luna patches. Varka was also included in this glimpse, and it appears fans may be able to pull for him sooner than expected.

    Normal Attack

    Based on the leaked kit, it seems his Normal Attacks do not have any special charges and might not deal high damage.

    Elemental Skill

    Varka’s Elemental Skill has two different effects, depending on whether you tap or hold this ability. Here’s the rumored details about both abilities:

    • Tap: Varka leaks and deals AoE Anemo DMG before shortly entering the Gale Rush state. During this state, his Normal Attack DMG is increased, and he cannot perform Plunging Attacks. If a Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo character is in the party, his Elemental Skill is replaced by a special skill, Four Winds Arise. Furthermore, Varka can consume uses of his special skill to unleash a unique charged attack, Azure Devour.
    • Hold: After this skill is charged for a short duration, Varka leaps forward. The charge duration increases the distance of the leap.

    Gale Rush

    Varka enters the Gale Rush mode after his Elemental Skill is activated. His Normal Attacks are enhanced in this mode, and he cannot use his Plunging Attacks in this state.

    In the Gale Rush mode, the Greatsword in his left hand always deals Anemo DMG, and if there are Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo characters, the Greatsword in his right hand deals the corresponding Elemental DMG, according to the priority of these elements.

    Furthermore, if the team has Cryo, Pyro, Hydro, or Electro characters, his Elemental ability will be replaced with the special skill, Four Winds Arise.

    Four Winds Arise

    After Varka activates his Elemental Skill, he deals AoE Anemo DMG with the Greatsword in his left hand, and corresponding Elemental DMG Greatsword in his right hand. This skill has two usages and will initially be on cooldown.

    The cooldown of his special Elemental Skill will be decreased by 0.5 seconds when Varka’s Normal Attacks hit enemies during his Gale Rush state. This effect can be activated up to 15 times per entry into the Gale Rush state.

    Varka can also consume a usage of his special skill to activate his unique charged attack, Azure Devour. This special Charged Attack doesn’t consume any stamina, and Varka deals two instances of Elemental and Anemo DMG with this skill.

    Passives

    Here are the details of his rumored Passive talents in Genshin Impact:

    • Talent 1: When the party has Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo characters, Varka gains a 10% Anemo DMG bonus and a corresponding Elemental DMG bonus for every 1000 ATK he has. Only one of these elemental types can grant this bonus, and the maximum bonus cannot exceed 25%. If the team has 2 Anemo characters or 2 characters from any of the Cryo, Hydro, Electro, or Pyro Elements, Varka’s Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, Four Wind Arise, and Azure Devour attacks in his Gale Rush mode will deal 140% of their normal damage. Furthermore, if the team meets both conditions, the damage bonus is increased to 220%.
    • Talent 2: When party members trigger the Swirl reaction, Varka gains 1 stack of Azure Fang Oath, which increases the damage of his Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, Four Wind Arise, and Azure Devour attacks in his Gale Rush mode by 7.5%. This effect lasts for eight seconds, and he can have up to 4 stacks of Azure Fang Oath, and each character can only grant one stack per second.
    • Talent 3: For each Mondstadt character on the team, Varka’s Elemental Skill’s cooldown is reduced by 5%. This effect cannot be activated in Imaginarium Theater, Spiral Abyss, Stygian Onslaught, or in Domains.
    • Additional Hexerei Talent: Varka becomes a Hexerei character after completing his Witch’s Homework. When the team has two Hexerei units, he can utilize the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, and it buffs his Four Winds Arise ability. When Varka deals Normal Attacks to enemies in his Gale Rush state, the cooldown of his special skill will be decreased by one second.

    Constellations

    The leakers have not disclosed the details of Varka’s rumored C3 and C5. However, based on previous patterns, we can expect these constellations to increase the levels of his Elemental Skill and Burst abilities.

    Here are the details of his leaked constellations:

    • C1: Varka gains an additional use of his special Elemental Skill, Four Winds Arise, when he enters the Gale Rush mode. Furthermore, he also gains the after Melody of Fine Wine effect after entering this state. When he uses Four Winds Arise or Azure Devour, this effect increases the damage of both abilities by 200%.
    • C2: Varka triggers an additional attack when he uses his Four Winds Arise or Azure Devour skills, which deals 800% ATK as AoE Anemo DMG.
    • C4: When Varka triggers the Swirl reaction, other party members gain 20% Anemo DMG bonus and a corresponding Elemental DMG bonus based on the Elemental Reaction. This effect lasts for 10 seconds.
    • C6: Varka’s Gale Rush mode is further enhanced, and for a short time after he uses the Four Winds Arise skill, he can tap his Elemental Skill or hold his Normal Attack to deal an Azure Devour attack that does not consume uses of his special skill. Varka can also use the Four Winds Arise ability by tapping his Elemental Skill without consuming any uses, after he uses Azure Devour. Furthermore, the effect from his Talent 2 is enhanced, and the Azure Fang Oath stacks are enhanced. Each stack of this talent also enhances Varka’s Crit DMG by 15%.
