Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is a 5-star Catalyst that can be obtained from the Standard Banner. It is Varesa's second-best weapon choice.

Crane's Echoing Call, 5-star Anemo unit Xianyun's signature weapon, is also a great choice for Varesa. It boosts the user's Plunging Attack DMG, which Varesa can take advantage of.

Additionally, Crane's Echoing Call has a passive effect that restores energy to the user after they hit opponents with Plunging Attacks.

The Widsith, a 4-star weapon, is a good choice for any DPS Catalyst unit. Players who cannot equip Varesa with a 5-star weapon should definitely go for it, as it provides the user with a massive CRIT DMG% boost, along with enhanced ATK, Elemental DMG and Elemental Mastery.

5) Solar Pearl

Solar Pearl will provide Varesa with a CRIT Rate% boost, which is always helpful for any DPS unit. However, the character will not be able to use any of the weapon's passive effects.

Obsidian Codex is Varesa's second-best artifact set, and you can temporarily use it on her till you farm Long Night's Oath.

Since it increases the equipping character's DMG and CRIT Rate% while they are in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, Obsidian Codex can function as a decent option for Varesa.

Make sure to use the following main stats for this artifact set:

• Sands: ATK%
• Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus
• Circlet: CRIT DMG% / Crit Rate%

Since Varesa is a Plunge Attack DPS unit, she will fit well in teams that enhance her ATK and boost her overall DMG. She doesn't really need teammates of any particular element, as long as she is supported by units that can let her take the on-field DPS role.

Here are some teams that you can use for Varesa:

• Varesa + Iansan + Furina + Xianyun
• Varesa + Iansan + Mavuika + Chevreuse
• Varesa + Iansan + Xiangling + Chevreuse
• Varesa + Iansan + Chevreuse + Bennett
• Varesa + Nahida + Furina + Xianyun
• Varesa + Iansan + Kazuha + Xilonen

As seen from the list of her best teams, Iansan synergizes incredibly well with Varesa. Since Iansan is a 4-star character featured on Varesa's banner, most players can easily obtain her.

Talent priority for Varesa in Genshin Impact

While building Varesa, make sure to prioritize her Talents in the following order:

Normal Attack > Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill

Since Varesa is a Plunge Attack DPS unit, her main source of damage is her Plunging Attacks, which scale off her Normal Attack. Next, you should focus on her Elemental Burst, with her Elemental Skill being the last priority.
