Summary
AGenshin Impactleak has revealed that the upcoming five-star Electro user, Varesa, has received a couple of powerful buffs.Genshin Impacthas officially released Varesa’s splash art and introduction, which is its way of announcing a new character for the next update.
According to the announcements, Varesa won’t be the only new character arriving inGenshin ImpactVersion 5.5, as another Natlan character, Iansan, has also been officially confirmed. Recent beta leaks suggest that Varesa will be a five-star character, while Iansan will have a lower four-star rarity.
BeforeeachGenshin Impactupdatearrives, HoYoverse hosts a beta phase that includes most of the upcoming content, including new playable units. A newposton theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddit has revealed that Varesa has received many sizable buffs in the current beta. According to the leak, the buffs affect Varesa’s Passive Talents, which are an important part of each character’s build. The first buff increases the damage multiplier from 25% to 60% for her Plunging Attack during the Rainbow Crash effect, which can be activated with her Elemental Skill. Varesa’s P2 has also been improved, so when a party member uses a Nightsoul Burst, she will receive a 35% buff instead of the previous 30%.
Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Important Passive Talent Buffs for Varesa
Varesa’s P3 is slightly more complex, triggering whenGenshin Impact’s Nightsoul pointshave been fully depleted. Once this happens, Varesa will switch to using Phlogiston to maintain her Sudden Onrush mode. HoYoverse has added a new effect that reduces fall damage while she is in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics. Both her P2 and P3 are tied to the Natlan region and its mechanics, which is not surprising.
While some fans appreciate that tying characters to their region enhances overall immersion, it also makes it harder to surround them with the right supporting team. MostGenshin Impactcharacters from Natlanhave parts of their kits that only trigger when another Nightsoul effect is present in the game. Notably, the Nightsoul system is exclusive to Natlan characters, similar to how Bond of Life is exclusive to Fontaine characters.
Overall, fans seem pleased with Varesa’s power, especially since she will be a uniqueDPS character inGenshin Impact. Only a few DPS units in the game have kits that revolve around using the Plunging Attack. As for Varesa’s exact release date, she will most likely be featured in the first phase of the upcomingGenshin ImpactVersion 5.5, which, according to HoYoverse’s usual update schedule, should drop around March 26.
