Building ER on Varesa is optional and depends on the player’s artifacts, but as a general rule of thumb can be recommended as long as her requirements are within 20%.
Energy Recharge targets
How much Energy Recharge Varesa needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | 2 Special Burst Per Rotation (Average) | Burst As Available |
|---|---|---|
| With Iansan | ~130-140% | 100% |
| With Fischl/Ororon | ~110-120% | 100% |
| Solo Electro | Not Recommended | 100% |
| Reduction from team Favonius trigger | -10% | - |

Normal Attack
Max first

Then
Varesa’s Plunging Attacks are her primary source of damage and scale off of her Normal Attacks, giving it priority. That being said, her Burst’s damage is also valuable and should also be levelled concurrently.
Varesa rotation
Either repeat the above with her other Skill charge, rotate through supports again, or extend field time through using her standard Charged and Plunging Attack.
The charge based nature of Varesa’s Skill affords her a lot of flexibility in her rotations, as she can use them in quick succession or separate their uses to match her team or combat situation.
- Setup buffs before Varesa’s field time,
- Use Skill then input a Normal Attack to shortcut into a Charged Attack, followed by a Plunging Attack to enter Fiery Passion,
- Repeat the above steps with the Skill charge granted by Fiery Passion,
- If fully buffed and she has sufficient Energy, cast her special Burst,

The manual Charge and Plunge Attack in the first part of the rotation is optional, and can especially be better to skip if fitting 3 special Bursts in.

Varesa FAQ
3 questionsWhat stat does Varesa scale on?
Varesa's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
What is the best weapon for Varesa?
Vivid Notions is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star catalyst with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Royal Grimoire is the best 4-star alternative.
Which artifact set should Varesa use?
Thundering Fury. Its 2-piece bonus is: Electro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases the DMG caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Superconduct, and Hyperbloom by 40%, the DMG Bonus conferred by Aggravate by 20%, and the DMG caused by Lunar-Charged and Stellar-Conduct by 20%. When Quicken or the aforementioned Elemental Reactions are triggered, Elemental Skill CD is decreased by 1s. Can only occur once every 0.8s.
