Varesa Genshin Impact: An Introduction

Varesa is a 5-star Electro Catalyst user who made her electrifying debut in Genshin Impact Version 5.5–and let’s just say, she’s not your typical Catalyst unit.

JOYTIFY TOP UP: PAY LESS, PLAY MORE!

Instead of standing in the back casting spells, Varesa gets up close and personal with headbutts, aerial strikes, and fast-paced footwork that feel more like a brawler than a mage.

Her entire kit revolves around Plunging Attacks, Nightsoul points, and the Fiery Passion state, which transforms her playstyle into a combo-heavy spectacle.

Design-wise, she takes heavy inspiration from lucha libre wrestling; flashy, aggressive, and packed with flair.

What sets Varesa apart is her ability to traverse terrain in creative ways. She can sprint across water, leap off cliffs, and chain attacks in mid-air, especially when Phlogiston mechanics in Natlan come into play with the right setup.

She’s built for players who enjoy fast, rhythmic combat and don’t mind juggling multiple state-based mechanics for huge payoff.

Vision: Electro
Weapon Type: Catalyst
Rarity: 5-star
Playstyle: Plunging DPS / High-Mobility
Progression Stat Bonus: CRIT Rate +19.2%.

Genshin Impact Varesa Skills Kit

So, what makes Varesa tick? The Genshin Impact Varesa skills kit is all about chaining attacks, building momentum, and raining down Electro damage from the skies.

She is kinetic, agile, and thrives on plunging from mid-air like a lightning-charged superhero. Let’s break down her moves.

Normal Attack: By the Horns

Varesa’s basic attack may seem standard at first, but the real jaw-dropping skills come when you hold it:

Tap: Launch up to 3 rapid Electro strikes.
Hold: Varesa charges forward with a headbutt (yes, seriously) and uses the impact to leap into the air, setting you up for a Plunging Attack.
Plunging Attack: Slams into the ground with Nightsoul-aligned Electro AoE damage. If she hits an enemy while landing or while airborne, she earns 25 Nightsoul Points.

Stack enough Nightsoul Points, and Varesa enters her special Fiery Passion state, which supercharges her entire kit.

Fiery Passion State

Once activated, Fiery Passion upgrades all of her core attacks:

Normal Attack: Stronger, faster Electro strikes.
Charged Attack: Bigger slam, higher damage, and another jump trigger.
Plunging Attack: Consumes all Nightsoul Points for a massive AoE Electro blast.

You can trigger this state by using her Burst or maxing out Nightsoul Points through plunging. It’s limited to 15 seconds or until you run out of juice, so go wild while it lasts.

Elemental Skill: Riding the Night-Rainbow

Tap the Skill, and Varesa charges forward in a crackling dash, zapping every enemy in her path with Nightsoul Electro damage and instantly generating Nightsoul points.

Even cooler? If you follow up with a Normal Attack right after, she fires off a Charged Attack that doesn’t eat up your stamina, giving you a slick combo starter.

Hold the Skill instead, and she shifts into Sudden Onrush mode. In this state, she’s all about speed and parkour; think increased Movement Speed, the ability to surf across terrain (even over water or Phlogiston pools), and massive interruption resistance so nothing can knock her out of her groove.

While Onrush drains Nightsoul points over time, it lets you reposition, chain attacks, and style on your enemies like a true showstopper.

Elemental Burst: Glory Vent!

Varesa leaps skyward and delivers a devastating flying kick, detonating AoE Nightsoul Electro damage when she lands.

This Burst instantly maxes out her Nightsoul points and kicks her back into Fiery Passion, letting you loop huge Plunging Attacks again and again.

While in Fiery Passion, her Burst damage cranks up even higher. And if you time it just right, you unlock Apex Drive, a mode that removes her Burst cooldown for a bit and lowers its Energy cost, so you can spam an upgraded Plunge finisher called Thunderous Tornado Eruption. It’s as chaotic and fun as it sounds.

Passive Talents Breakdown

Here’s a quick look at the passives that boost her performance even more:

Tag-Team Triple Jump! – After using her Skill, Varesa’s Plunging Attacks get a huge ground impact buff. If she’s in Fiery Passion, that buff nearly quadruples.
Blazing Heart, Singular Advance! – Faster Sprint speed, lower Stamina drain while exploring, and a bonus for your whole team when using food in Natlan’s Phlogiston zones.
The Hero Twice-Returned! – Nearby Nightsoul triggers boost Varesa’s Attack by 35%, stack it up to twice for even more damage.
Night Realm’s Gift – While exploring Natlan, she can maintain Sudden Onrush longer using Phlogiston instead of Nightsoul points, making her a parkour queen in the overworld.

Varesa Full Kit in Genshin Impact

Alright, so you’ve seen what Varesa can do in combat, next let’s talk about how to build her right, from her best Catalyst weapon to the artifacts that bring out her full plunging potential.

These are your complete blueprint for unleashing the full force of the Varesa Genshin Impact full kit.

Varesa Signature Weapon: Vivid Notions

Vivid Notions is made for Varesa. If you’re lucky enough to pull this 5-star Catalyst, don’t even think, just slap it on her.

Base ATK: 47.54
Substat: Crit DMG
Passive Perks:
- Boosts ATK by up to 56%.
- After using a Plunging Attack, gain Dawn’s First Hue = Boosts Plunge CRIT DMG.
- After using Elemental Skill/Burst, gain Twilight’s Splendor = More Plunge CRIT DMG.
- Both effects last 15s and trigger nearly instantly on impact.

Varesa lives for aerial combat and plunges, so this weapon turns her signature moves into crit-heavy nukes.

Best Artifacts for Varesa

Time to gear up. You’ve got a few good sets to work with, but there’s a clear winner.

1. Best: 4-Piece Long Night’s Oath

Effect: Increases Plunging Attack DMG (can stack up to 100%).
Works hand-in-hand with her Fiery Passion state and Nightsoul mechanics.

2. Other Solid Options:

4-Piece Obsidian Codex – If you’re building around her Nightsoul alignment
2-Piece Combos:
- 2pc Long Night’s Oath + 2pc ATK%.
- 2pc Long Night’s Oath + 2pc Electro DMG Bonus.

Stat Priorities:

Sands: ATK%
Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus
Circlet: Crit Rate / Crit DMG (depends on your weapon)
Substats: Crit > ATK% > Energy Recharge > Flat ATK

Varesa Constellations

Pulled a dupe or two? Or maybe you’re just lucky (or a whale; no judgment). Below is what each Constellation level does for her:

C1 – Undying Passion: Supercharges her Passive Talent, giving her Plunging Attacks +180% ATK damage, even outside Fiery Passion. Also reduces Nightsoul point consumption in Onrush mode by 30%.
C2 – Beyond the Edge of Light: Grants Apex Drive automatically after a Plunge, increasing interruption resistance and restoring Energy when hitting enemies.
C3 – Unbowed Resolve: Boosts her Elemental Burst talent by three levels.
C4 – The Courage to Press On: Adds a massive Plunge damage bonus when using Burst without Fiery Passion or Apex Drive, or doubles Burst damage if either is active.
C5 – Thoughts Floating on the Warm Breeze: Boosts her Normal Attack talent by three levels.
C6 – A Hero of Justice’s Triumph: Restores 30 Energy upon entering Apex Drive, grants +10% Crit Rate, and +100% Crit DMG to Plunges and Burst, and instantly refills Nightsoul points after certain Skill uses.

If you want her to feel truly unstoppable, C2 and C6 are the game-changers to aim for.
