Genshin Impact New Varka Leaks Tease Anemo DPS Role

The newest Genshin Impact Varka leaks have started spreading more intensely, and they indicate the finally-mentioned Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius will finally enter the playable roster. Varka, sometimes being referred to as the Knight of Boreas in the lore of the game, is supposed to come with the Luna V update.

Genshin Impact Varka leaks

With the Genshin Impact Varka leaks, he is supposed to be an Anemo character with a Claymore in his hands. During the Luna IV livestream, developers showed silhouettes of future characters, and Varka's outline appeared among them.

Normal Attacks and Basic Combat Behavior

As seen from the initial Genshin Impact Varka leaks, Normal Attacks of Varka do not carry elemental damage application by default. His normal attack set is primarily meant to function as a complement to his skill-based fighting style. But once his elemental skill is used, his combat pattern changes dramatically. Even the leaks suggest players are supposed to work around this timing.

Elemental Skill and Gale Rush State

The Elemental Skill is one of the most detailed sections in Genshin Impact Varka leaks. Tapping the skill deals area Anemo damage and places Varka into a special state called Gale Rush. Holding the skill instead causes him to leap forward after charging. A longer charge increases the distance. In Gale Rush, the Normal Attacks are powered up, but it will no longer be possible to perform Plunging Attacks. His left-hand great sword will always deal Anemo in this state.

Four Winds Arise and Azure Devour

In addition to the aforementioned facts on the gameplay mechanics of the Varka character, another important element that was exposed through the Genshin Impact Varka leak is the unique ability to activate ‘Four Winds Arise.’ This will activate whenever the necessary conditions of the elements are fulfilled. This will replace his normal ‘Elemental Skill’ ability. This ability unleashes Varka Anemo claymore, along with the damage of the elements.

Azure Devour is also connected with this system. When Varka consumes a unit of Four Winds Arise, he gets the only Charged Attack that does not consume stamina. It provides two hits of damage, which are elemental damage and Anemo damage.

Early character silhouettes revealed alongside system changes in the Genshin Impact Luna IV patch notes now appear to align with the leaked outline attributed to Varka.

Varka Elemental Burst and Damage Output

Elemental Burst will apply two instances of damage when used, following Genshin Impact Varka's leaked information. This would be the first adapted to the party’s elements and the second with Anemo damage fixed.

This approach aligns with recent design choices, including the Genshin Impact Luna IV New Traveler Outfit and Additional Talent, which emphasized evolving mechanics over isolated upgrades.

Passive Talents and Scaling

According to the Genshin Impact Varka leaks, for each 1,000 ATK, Varka gains Anemo and elemental damage. Varka gets additional multipliers depending on whether the elemental teams consist of two Anemos or pairs of any elements, which further amplifies his abilities in performing Gale Rush attacks.

Leaks about Varka's constellation reveal very aggressive scaling. The initial ones increase the use of abilities and multiply the damage output, while the advanced ones are team buffs and Crit DMG. As compared to past Anemo characters, it seems Varka is more complex. While past updates in the Luna character had more straightforward patterns for damaging.
