Summary
A talented artist has created a character concept that combinesGenshin Impact’s Varesa with Firefly fromHonkai: Star Rail. BothGenshin ImpactandHonkai: Star Railare known for their dedication to character design, so it is not surprising that fans often create their own concepts inspired by existing playable units.
It’s safe to say thatGenshin Impactremains HoYoverse’s most popular title, even though it was released back in 2020. However, sinceHonkai: Star Rail’s launch, this turn-based RPG has surpassedGenshinin monthly revenue on multiple occasions.
A Reddit user named vlilacc has shared an impressive concept in which they mergedGenshin Impact’s upcoming five-star character, Varesa, with the fan-favoriteFirefly fromHonkai: Star Rail. The Redditor took Varesa’s model and equipped her with Firefly’s recognizable outfit. The new costume features Firefly’s signature brown tones with shades of blue and green. The post showcases three different concepts, each similar to the other, with the main differences being the inclusion of horns and variations in hair length. The post gained significant attention, gathering over 2.7k upvotes, with many fans claiming they would not mind if HoYoverse released this version of Varesa inGenshin ImpactVersion 5.5.
Genshin Impact Fan-made Concept Combines Varesa With Honkai’s Firefly
Since her release, Firefly has been one of the most popular characters inHonkai: Star Rail. This is not surprising, considering she was a must-have character in the Break and Super Break meta. Many players have even suggested that HoYoverse should have nerfed Firefly, as her stacked kit made her seem unfair compared to other characters. Another similarity between Firefly and Varesa is that both are DPS characters, at least according torecentGenshin Impactleaks.
According to previous beta footage, Varesa will be a new five-star character whose kit revolves around Plunging Attacks, which are not too common amongGenshin Impactcharacters. Similar to many recently released characters, Varesa will benefit from havingGenshin Impact’s Natlan charactersin her party, as her Passive Talents gain bonus effects when a Nightsoul Elemental Burst is activated. While Varesa’s strong synergy with other Natlan characters makes sense lore-wise, many players dislike this recently introduced trend, as it limits the character’s flexibility.
Regarding Varesa’s release date, the fact that she is the only new five-star character suggests that she will debut in the first banner cycle of Version 5.5. While HoYoverse has yet to officially confirm the update’s release date, based on its usual update schedule, players can expectGenshin ImpactVersion 5.5to arrive around March 26.
