Genshin Impact: 4 Critical Mistakes Players Make With Varesa
Varesa is Natlan's fastest Electro DPS, specializing in high-speed Plunge Attacks that deal massive AoE Electro damage. However, her extreme mobility and Nightsoul mechanics make her tricky to master. Here are the top 4 mistakes to avoid when playing Varesa:
4. Ignoring Aggravate Reactions
Varesa’s Plunge Attacks deal AoE Electro DMG, making her perfect for Aggravate teams.
✅ Optimal Dendro Partners:
Nahida (best Dendro application)
Baizhu (healing + Dendro)
Dendro Traveler (F2P option)
Why It Matters:
Aggravate scales with Crit stats, which synergizes perfectly with Varesa’s high Crit-focused kit. This reaction boosts her damage significantly without needing top-tier buffers.
3. Wasting Time Waiting for Skill Cooldowns
Varesa relies on her Elemental Skill to trigger Plunge Attacks, but waiting for cooldowns drops DPS.
✅ Pro Tips:
Swap out early if skills are on cooldown.
Use Charged Attacks for 1-2 emergency Plunges (weaker but better than Normal Attacks).
Pair with energy-generating supports (e.g., Fischl, Raiden) for smoother rotations.
Key Insight:
Genshin combat rewards burst windows—don’t let Varesa idle!
2. Poor Plunge Attack Targeting
Varesa’s dash-heavy playstyle can make her miss key targets, especially against Electro-resistant enemies.
✅ How to Fix:
Hold Elemental Skill to reposition before plunging.
Prioritize low-resistance enemies first.
Use grouping supports (Kazuha, Venti) to cluster foes.
Why It’s Important:
A single misplaced Plunge Attack can waste entire rotations—precision matters!
1. Not Using Natlan Teammates (Missed 70% ATK Buff!)
Varesa gains 35% ATK per Nightsoul Burst (max 70% ATK with 2 stacks), but team composition affects uptime:
Alternative Option:
If running Furina/Bennett, losing the 2nd stack (35% ATK) is acceptable—their buffs compensate.
Final Verdict: How to Optimize Varesa
Always pair with Dendro for Aggravate.
Never idle—swap out during cooldowns.
Aim Plunges carefully (hold Skill to reposition).
Run 3 Natlan units for 70% ATK buff (or use Furina/Bennett).
Best Teams:
Aggravate: Varesa + Nahida + Fischl + Kazuha
Natlan Synergy: Varesa + Mavuika + Kachina + Flex
