Plunge DPS
Masked Varesa is an Electro hypercarry who deals damage via Plunge combos.
Weapon rankings assume Iansan is on the team. Crane's Echoing Call: 3 Volcano Kablams, no ER needed. Tome of the Eternal Flow, Cashflow Supervision, Surf's Up: passive counted as inactive. The Widsith [R5]: on average slightly ahead of Tulaytullah's Remembrance. Flowing Purity: assumes BoL is cleared.
Artifacts: Obsidian Codex (4) can overcap CRIT Rate given weapon and ascension stats — if that happens often, farm Long Night's Oath (4). Marechaussee Hunter: pair only with Furina, and it underperforms Obsidian Codex (4).
