Varesa is a 5-star Electro Catalyst character who excels as a Main DPS. Her kit revolves around high-speed melee combat, powerful Electro-infused attacks, and the ability to enter her Fiery Passion state for increased damage output. Varesa thrives in a variety of team compositions, maximising her potential through Elemental Reactions and sustained DPS.

How Varesa Helps:

• Electro Application: Varesa’s Normal and Charged Attacks consistently apply Electro, enabling strong reactions like Overloaded, Aggravate, and Hyperbloom.
• Plunging Attack Synergy: Varesa’s combat style includes frequent Plunging Attacks, which benefit from reaction-based damage boosts.
• Self-Sustaining Combat: Through her Nightsoul mechanics, Varesa can maintain her combat momentum with efficient Energy generation and enhanced movement.

Overload

Electro + Pyro

Overload teams focus on triggering explosive AoE damage by combining Electro and Pyro. Varesa’s rapid Electro application ensures frequent Overloaded reactions, making her an ideal core for this setup. Her fast attacks maximise reaction triggers, ensuring constant explosive damage. Below is an example of an Overload team with Varesa as the Main DPS, Chevreuse and Iansan as the Sub DPS’, and Dehya as the Support.

Alternate Overload teams could have a composition of:

• Varesa - Chevreuse - Iansan - Mavuika
• Varesa - Chevreuse - Iansan - Xiangling
• Varesa - Fischl - Xiangling - Bennett

Aggravate

Electro + Dendro

Aggravate enhances Varesa’s Electro damage, allowing for high single-target and AoE damage through consistent Quicken reactions. Below is an example of an Aggravate team with Varesa as the Main DPS, Nahida and Iansan as the Sub DPS’, and Kirara as the Shielder.

Alternate Aggravate teams could have a composition of:

• Varesa - Fischl - Collei - Kuki Shinobu
• Varesa - Raiden Shogun - Sucrose - Yaoyao

Taser

Electro + Hydro

Taser teams focus on Electro-Charged reactions, dealing constant AoE damage over time. Below is an example of a Taser team with Varesa as the Main DPS, Ororon and Iansan as the Sub DPS’, and Kokomi as the Healer.

Hyperbloom

Electro + (Dendro + Hydro)

Hyperbloom teams use Dendro Cores to trigger powerful single-target bursts, leveraging Varesa’s Electro application.

By stacking multiple supportive effects on Varesa, she can deal consistently high damage without relying on reactions as heavily as other team types. Below is an example of a Hypercarry team with Varesa as the Main DPS, Iansan as the Sub DPS, Xianyun as the Support, and Xilonen as the Healer.

Alternate Hypercarry teams could have a composition of:
