⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ About Varka
Varka is the current Grand Master and Knight of Boreas of the Knights of Favonius.
He is described as a very strong warrior, so strong that he can fight with a claymore in one hand and a sword in the other hand, in fact also Tartaglia himself recognizes his abilities and hopes to challenge him one day.
When it comes to fighting he never backs down, but also when it comes to being a guide or a point of reference for the people of Mondstadt (and not) In fact, he was a huge support for some characters, such as Mika, Jean, Rosaria and Razor.
Especially for Razor, Varka is the closest thing to a father for him, who was found and raised by Varka when he was very young. Varka also taught him the art of fighting, in fact Raizor said that their way of fighting is very similar to him.
He is therefore a very strong man, endowed with extraordinary fighting skills, who behind his somewhat rough attitude also hides a big heart.
Curiosity:
- There are also correlations with the lupus Boreas which you can find in the description of the claymore Wolf's Gravestone.
- The name Varka in Old Persian means Wolf.

⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ Kit Overview
Varka is an Anemo main DPS, a Claymore user who primarily plays on Hexerei teams.
His gameplay is very versatile, with two rotation modes to adapt to both single-target and multi-target battles.
To create a functional team and unleash his full potential, we recommend playing him in a team consisting of:
2 Anemo units (himself and another character) + 2 units of the same element Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo (with at least one Hexerei character)
✧ SKILL - Windbound Execution
Tap
AoE Anemo DMG, enters “Sturm und Drang” state
╰┈➤ Sturm und Drang
Increased Normal Attack DMG, cannot perform diving attacks.
When he uses normal or charged attacks, Varka's two claymores deal Elemental DMG based on the elemental types of the characters in his party:
- Left-handed claymore → Anemo DMG (uninfluenced)
- Right-handed claymore Pyro Hydro Electro or Cryo DMG, if these elements are present in the team, following this order.
- If these elements are present, Varka's Skill Windbound Execution is converted into the special skill Four Winds Ascension.
╰┈➤ Four Winds Ascension
Varka’s Special Skill → suitable for groups
- Deals AoE Elemental DMG (cannot be overridden).
- Initial TdR, reduced by 0.5 seconds with Normal Attacks during Sturm und Drang (activates max 15 times).
- Max 2 uses.
- Gains charges that Varka consumes to unleash the Azure Devour special Charged Attack.
╰┈➤ Azure Devour
Varka’s Special Charge Attack→ suitable for single targets
- Does not consume Stamina
- Deals 2 iterations of Elemental DMG corresponding to the right hand element + 2 iterations of Anemo DMG.
Rotations:
- Single Target: E → AAAA → CA → AAAA → CA → Q
- Multi Target: E→ AAAA→ E→ AAAA→ E→ Q
✧ BURST - Northwind Avatar
Deals 2 iterations of Anemo DMG if there are Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo in team, DMG from the first swing is converted to the corresponding Elemental DMG based on the order of priority.
✧ PASSIVE TALENTS 1- Dawn Wind's March
If your team includes Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo characters, Varka's ATK increases his Anemo DMG and the DMG of one element among those present, following elemental priority. The bonus scales with ATK (ideal ~2500).
With double Anemo or two characters of the same element, Varka gains a strong multiplier on his attacks in Sturm und Drang mode.
✧ PASSIVE TALENTS - Homebound Wind's Paean
Primarily used for mobility during open-world Expeditions.
For each Mondstadt Character in the team:
- The CD of the Hold Elemental Skill is reduced by 5%
✧ PASSIVE TALENTS 3 - Wind's Vanguard
Increases damage of all of the character's damage-dealing abilities after the team triggers a Swirl reaction, a pure damage-boosting Talent.
✧ Witch's Eve Rite: Dawn's Return
Unlocked after completing the Hexerei Quest. When there are 2 Hexerei Characters in the team, it activates a special effect that enhances the damage of Special E/Special CA, while reducing special Elemental Skill CD (requires Normal Attacks to hit enemies), optimizing total damage output and fluidity during a single E rotation

⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ Constellations, is worth?
Varka’s Constellation enhancements are mainly designed to further increase his individual damage potential. C1 notably enhances his versatility in battle, whereas C6 delivers a major power spike and alters his core combat mechanics and playstyle gimmick.
C1 → Gains one additional skill use and gets a damage boost
C2 → Further increases the damage of Special Elemental Skills and Special Charged Attacks
C4 → When triggering a Swirl reaction, all party characters gain increased DMG Bonus for the corresponding infused Elemental Type and Anemo DMG Bonus
C6 → After using the Elemental Skill to enter Surging Assault, the special E and special Charged Attack can be used alternately in succession, significantly changing the character's combat mechanics and playstyle, providing a very noticeable improvement.
If you want Varka to really shine on your team, a few constellations help a lot.
