Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, artifact sets and stat priorities on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and rephrased. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the refinement and team its row states. Everything else — base stats, passive text, material totals — is read from the game’s own data.

Sands

Goblet
DMG% / ATK%Pyro teams without Nicole, and Cryo teams prefer DMG%. The main stat of the Goblet depends on the buffs given to Varka, though they perform closely enough it’s safe to choose the Goblet with the better substat rolls. Though you should never run Anemo DMG%.
Circlet

Varka Windbound Execution — elemental skill icon | Genshin Impact
Skill

Windbound Execution

Manifest the true essence of Favonius Bladework with absolute power. Produces different effects depending on whether the skill is Tapped or Held.

Tap Leap forward and slash in one fluid motion, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and switching to Sturm und Drang mode. While in Sturm und Drang, Varka's Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG is increased, and he cannot perform Plunging Attacks. Also, when performing Normal or Charged Attacks, Varka's dual-wielded claymores will deal corresponding Elemental DMG based on the Elemental Types of the characters in the party, respectively. This Elemental DMG cannot be overridden by infusions. Additionally, when in Sturm und Drang, if there are Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo characters in the party, Varka's Elemental Skill Windbound Execution will be converted to the special Elemental Skill, Four Winds' Ascension, dealing corresponding Elemental DMG and Anemo DMG. Additionally, Varka can also expend uses of the special Elemental Skill Four Winds' Ascension to perform a special Charged Attack, Azure Devour, that does not consume stamina to deal corresponding Elemental DMG and Anemo DMG.

Hold After charging for a while, leap forward. The duration of the charge will increase the distance of the leap.
