Tome of the Eternal Flow

Directly amplifies Plunging Attack DMG after a collision, tailor-made for this playstyle.

The Widsith

CRIT DMG

The random song buffs ATK, EM, or DMG—always a solid upgrade for a few seconds.

Skyward Atlas

ATK%

Provides constant Electro DMG bonus and a vacuum attack for extra damage.

Sacrificial Jade

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate and HP% boost uptime while its passive adds ATK% for Varesa's long field time.

Solar Pearl

CRIT RateCRIT DMG

Varesa combos are flexible: most revolve around [En1P En1P (Burst)] chunks, usable at any time. Before C2, fast animations mean you can’t fill field time with Skill alone—pairing a secondary DPS or using [Cp Cp] to set up the next rotation works well. Starting with a short hold Skill while using Obsidian Codex (4) yields the highest average DMG.

Plunge DPS
Donning her favorite mask, Varesa is a hypercarry Electro DPS who focuses on Plunge combos.

Weapon Choices (team with Iansan):
Crane's Echoing Call: assumes 3 Volcano Kablams instead of 2, no ER requirements.
Tome of the Eternal Flow, Cashflow Supervision, Surf's Up: passive not activated.
The Widsith at [R5] averages slightly better than Tulaytullah's Remembrance.
Flowing Purity: assumes Bond of Life is cleared.

Artifact Sets:
Obsidian Codex (4): possible CRIT Rate oversaturation from weapons and ascension — if overcapping, farm Long Night's Oath (4).
Marechaussee Hunter (4): only with Furina; performs worse than Obsidian Codex (4).

Outfits

Sugar Rush

Varesa's outfit. In her eyes, sugar is a sweet, sublime gift from the heavens. Cakes of sparkly pink and emerald green, yummy fruit tea, mountains of candy... These things are the source of all happiness in the world! Unfortunately, her coach vehemently begs to differ.
