Varesa How To Use
How To Use Varesa?
Hypercarry DPS That Mainly Deals Plunging Attack DMG
| Basic Rotation Of Varesa |
|---|
| 1. Use support characters' Skill or Burst for buffs. 2. To enter Fiery Passion state, use Elemental Burst. Then use Charged Attack, Plunging Attack and finally use her Elemental Burst that is now enhanced. 3. After that, rotations change to starting with her Elemental Skill to Normal Attack (Charged Attack is automatically used after) then Plunging Attack and finish with her enhanced Burst. |
Varesa is a Plunging Attack DPS that combines her Skill, Normal Attacks, and Burst to deal damage or allow her to perform a Plunging Attack. Her Charged Attack sends her midair once it ends, giving her an opening to use a Plunging Attack without the need for external support.
Max Out Nightsoul Points To Enter Fiery Passion State
Varesa needs to Max out Nightsoul Points to enter a special state which enhances her attacks. Her Elemental Burst can max Nightsoul Points.
Elemental Burst Is Enhanced After Plunging Attack In Fiery Passion State
Apex Drive state is activated once you do a Plunging Attack during her Fiery Passion state. This allows her to immediately reuse her Elemental Burst with a lower Energy cost as well. Her Burst animation changes and it also deals greater damage.
