Varesa’s Buffs in the Genshin Impact 5.5 Beta
Before every update, HoYoverse runs a beta test to adjust character abilities and mechanics. According to a leak from the Genshin ImpactLeaks subreddit, Varesa has received substantial buffs, primarily affecting her Passive Talents.
1. Buffed Plunging Attack Multiplier
- ✔ Increased from 25% to 60% during the Rainbow Crash effect.
- ✔ Rainbow Crash is triggered by her Elemental Skill, boosting her Plunging Attack damage.
2. Improved P2 Passive Talent
- ✔ When a party member uses a Nightsoul Burst, Varesa now gains a 35% buff (previously 30%).
- ✔ Enhances her synergy with Natlan-based teams.
3. P3 Passive Talent Adjustments
- ✔ Triggers when Nightsoul points are fully depleted.
- ✔ Varesa will switch to using Phlogiston to maintain her Sudden Onrush mode.
- ✔ New effect added: Reduced fall damage when in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics.
Natlan’s Unique Mechanics & Team Building Challenges
Many Natlan characters, including Varesa, have abilities tied to regional mechanics, similar to how Fontaine characters rely on Bond of Life.
- ✔ Nightsoul effects are exclusive to Natlan characters.
- ✔ Some players find this system immersive, while others see it as a restriction for team building.
Varesa’s Playstyle: A Unique DPS Unit
Varesa is shaping up to be an exciting DPS option, as very few characters in Genshin Impact specialize in Plunging Attacks. Players are excited about her kit, which could introduce new playstyles and team compositions.
