4. ✨ Varka's Passive Skill Analysis
- ✅ Varka is a Hexenzirkel character, gaining additional damage when used with other Hexenzirkel units (similar to Durin)
- ✅ Reduces cooldown or charge time of enhanced skills when used with Hexenzirkel members
- ✅ Can use enhanced skills faster through normal attacks
- ✅ Gain additional buffs when used with two Anemo characters
- ✅ Gain additional stacks if the remaining two party members share the same element (Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning)

5. 👥 Varka's Optimal Team Composition: Anemo and Core Characters
- ✅ Generally consists of two Anemo characters and two characters of the same element
- ✅ Currently the best team composition: Venti, Durin, Bennett
- ✅ Venti: 50% damage bonus through elemental burst and Viridescent Venerer set effect
- ✅ Durin: 35% resistance reduction and strong off-field Pyro application
- ✅ Bennett: Noblesse Oblige set effect and attack buff, provides continuous healing
- ✅ Possible Venti replacements: Jean (C4), Sucrose (Dragon Slayer), Kaedehara Kazuha, Faruzan (C6)
| Character | Role |
|---|---|
| Venti | Damage Increase, Viridescent Venerer Set |
| Durin | Resistance Reduction, Pyro Application |
| Bennett | Attack Buff, Healing |
04:50 - 05:49
6. 💧 Double Hydro Team Composition for Varka
- ✅ Hydro has powerful supports
- ✅ Varka is greatly affected by damage bonuses, so it's effective
- ✅ Furina and a healer combination is strong
- ✅ Yelan is also a good choice
| Character | Role |
|---|---|
| Furina | Powerful Supporter |
| Yelan | Sub DPS, Damage Increase |
| Mona | Hexenzirkel Member, Buffer |
05:50 - 06:23
7. ⚡ Electro and Cryo Team Composition Options
- ✅ Electro team: Venti, Fischl, Kuki combination or utilize Fischl as a Hexenzirkel member
- ✅ Electro is weaker than Fire/Hydro due to lack of strong buffers for Anemo DPS
- ✅ Cryo is not recommended due to little synergy
06:24 - 07:42
8. 🤔 Varka's Play Style and Synergy with Vision Characters
- ✅ Varka uses a new artifact set (increased attack and crit rate)
- ✅ Core team composition is double Fire or double Hydro
- ✅ Durin and Furina are the best buffers
- ✅ Varka has no direct synergy with Columbina or Inepa due to lack of Vision Swirl
- ✅ Expect potential synergy with Nicole in the future

- ✅ Varka may be in a similar tier to Mauika or Skirk, but additional updates are needed
- ✅ Varka offers new elements
- ✅ Recommended to use with Durin or Venti for maximum efficiency
- ✅ Venti is the only character that directly buffs Swirl damage
- ✅ Varka's full kit will be revealed next week
