Genshin Impact 5.5 Varesa leaked signature weapon and stats

According to well-known leaker Narc1ssus, Varesa's signature weapon is a possible 5-Star Catalyst with the following main stats (at Level 90 and Refinement Rank 1):

• Base ATK: 674
• Secondary stat: 44.1% CRIT DMG

This weapon has a pretty decent secondary stat, which makes up for its rather low Base ATK. It also has the following passive effect:

Increases the user's ATK by 28%. When the user performs a Plunging Attack, the "First Light's Color" effect is activated. This effect increases CRIT DMG of all Plunging Attacks by 28%. Additionally, when the user casts an Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, the "Evening's Glow Radiance" effect is activated. This effect increases CRIT DMG of all Plunging Attacks by 40%. Both effects last up to 15 seconds, and are removed 0.05 seconds after the user deals Plunging Attack damage.

The passive effect of this weapon makes it perfect for any DPS character who wields a Catalyst. Since this is supposedly Varesa's signature weapon, her playstyle is expected to focus on Plunging Attacks to capitalize on its passive. It can also be used by other characters who can play the role of an on-field DPS, such as Xianyun.
