Best Teams for Varesa
Varesa Is Best Used As Hypercarry
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Hypercarry Varesa - Varesa's high DMG multipliers as a Plunge Attack DPS and rotations that can be longer than the norm can be used as a hypercarry with all supports aimed at buffing her. - Reactions are not the main focus since Electro as an element has many reactions that can be utilized. - Furina, Xianyun, & Iansan buffs Varesa's DMG and provide enough HP changes for Furina's fanfare to stack faster. |
| 2nd | ▼ Overload Team - Varesa's mobility in combat is great and she can easily reach enemies knocked away by Overload. - Since her damage is already high without reactions, Chevreuse's high buff multipliers can complement it and boost it to another level. - Iansan & Pyro Traveler can buff her damage even more. |
| 3rd | ▼ Aggravate Team - The timing of when her Plunging Attack can trigger Aggravate is hard to determine since she applies Electro often. - Nahida & Baizhu can keep a constant Dendro aura and activate Dendro resonance for additional EM. - Aggravate's DMG increases with EM. This means building Varesa will have the added priority of having EM on her. |
| 4th | ▼ Hyperbloom Team - Plunging Attacks are known to have no ICD. This makes Varesa able to trigger Hyperbloom constantly if enough Dendro cores are generated. - Her Plunging Attack has a considerable AoE range and deals powerful damage on top of Hyperbloom. - However, she scales on ATK and would deal weaker Hyperbloom damage since ATK is her best stat vs EM. |
| 5th | ▼ Mono Electro Team - While she has a lower Energy cost in her enhanced Burst, she can still benefit from the Electro Energy particles generated from a mono Electro team. - Iansan buffs her ATK while Shinobu provides healing for survivability. - A support like Kazuha or Xilonen can be used to further increase the damage dealt. - Weak against enemies that are immune to Electro. |
Varesa is an Electro Plunging Attack DPS that can be used with a short or long on-field time. She is similar to Neuvillette in how their teams are built around their damage and reactions come in second.

Hyperbloom can be used with Varesa since she can do AoE Electro attacks & hit Dendro cores. However, Iansan's healing can't keep up with Furina's HP drain and another Electro healer like Shinobu is used. Electro resonance allows Varesa to charge her Burst faster.

| Kuki Shinobu | DoriIansanOroron | - If using Furina, Dori is a decent Electro healer that can restore Energy to Varesa. - Any healer that won't interrupt the Hyperbloom reaction can be used. - If not using Furina, you can use Iansan to buff ATK and funnel Energy to Varesa. - Ororon can also be used since he also charges Energy and applies Electro when Electro-Charged is triggered. |
