Best Teams for Varesa

Varesa Is Best Used As Hypercarry

Varesa is an Electro On-Field DPS whose primary damage is concentrated in her Plunging Attacks. Her teams will often gravitate towards a setup that buffs her own damage output with dedicated supports, and there are clear teammates she clearly prefers over others.

Overload Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Varesa	Vivid Notions Long Night's Oath x4 Main ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK%
Chevreuse	Dialogues Of The Desert Sages └ Equip Favonius Lance if you need more Energy for the team. Noblesse Oblige x4 Main HP% or Energy Recharge / HP% / HP%, Healing Bonus or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP% 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance)
Iansan	Symphonist of Scents └ Equip Favonius Lance if you need more Energy for the team. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Energy Recharge or ATK% / ATK% / ATK% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. ATK% 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance)
Durin	Athame Artis 2-pc. ATK% 2-pc. Pyro DMG% Main ATK% / ATK% or Pyro DMG Bonus/ CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK%

Chevreuse provides Electro and Pyro RES shred whenever the team triggers the Overload reaction, with the primary condition being the party can only consist of Electro and Pyro characters. Varesa naturally performs well with this team-up, especially since Chevreuse also provides an ATK% buff with her Skill (hold) and more Electro DMG bonus with Chevreuse's C6.

Rotation Of Overload Team

The combo above essentially alternates between two rotations, the first one where Varesa starts it, and the second where Durin starts it. This allows the team to carefully maintain Chevreuse's RES Shred with timed Overload triggers. If this seems overwhelming to you, you can opt to do just the first rotation instead, since it should be enough to clear most content.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Iansan	Bennett Fischl Ororon	- Iansan is essentially Varesa's dedicated support, since she can easily max out Iansan's movement-based ATK% buff while also triggering the full effect of the Cinder City set. Additionally, she also acts as Varesa's Electro battery by generating Electro particles for Varesa. - Bennett is one of the closest alternatives due to his generous ATK% buff. He can easily replace a low-constellation Iansan, but is less valuable when your Iansan is C6. - Fischl after completing her Witch's Homework task offers a modest ATK% buff when in an Overload team, which allows her to be a viable but weaker substitute. - Ororon can be an appealing option for Energy and to ensure you still have access to the full Cinder City set buff.
Durin	MavuikaPyro Traveler Dehya Xiangling	- While Durin brings RES shred, he can be substituted by any Off-Field Pyro applicator. - Mavuika is naturally the strongest option since she also benefits from the ATK% buffs and RES shred found in this team, so her personal damage in this team (especially if you do specific combos) are pretty respectable still.
Chevreuse	-	- Chevreuse is the character that can elevate an Overload team into meta status, especially with her C6. Without her, an Overload team's damage can feel underwhelming, and may struggle to clear specific content. - C6 is ideal, but even at C0 Chevreuse is better than any other option for this team.

Does Varesa Need Iansan or Chevreuse?

Varesa needs Chevreuse to complete her strongest team, which is Overload. Even at C0, Chevreuse offers a hefty 40% Electro and Pyro RES shred and 40% ATK buff, which are all desirable buffs for an attack-scaling DPS like Varesa. Conversely, while Iansan is designed to be her most synergistic support, you can easily replace her with alternatives and find marginal differences in performance. There is no true alternative for Chevreuse (in an Overload team) in comparison.

Plunge DPS Varesa Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Varesa	Vivid Notions Long Night's Oath x4 Main ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK%
Furina	Splendor Of Tranquil Waters └ If you're having trouble charging Furina's Burst every rotation, you can try equipping Fleuve Cendre Ferryman, Favonius Sword or Festering Desire instead. Golden Troupe x4 └This is for Furina's personal damage. Equip Tenacity of the Millelith instead if you want to buff Varesa even more. Main HP% or Energy Recharge / HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Xianyun	Crane's Echoing Call Viridescent Venerer x4 Main Energy Recharge or ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. ATK%
Iansan	Symphonist of Scents └ Equip Favonius Lance if you need more Energy for the team. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Energy Recharge or ATK% / ATK% / ATK% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. ATK% 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance)

This team supplies Varesa with a lot of DMG% buffs and can be considered "hypercarry" in nature, from Furina's Fanfare stacks and Xianyun's Plunging DMG buffs. It's a solid overall team with great synergy between each member, but the DPS potential is noticeably lower than Varesa's Overload team.

Rotation Of Plunge DPS Varesa

This rotation is a little easier to pilot than Varesa's ideal Overload rotation. You still need to be wary of accidentally using Varesa's normal Elemental Burst however, so it's important to ensure that you plunge after every Skill usage to exit her Fiery Passion state and enter Apex Drive.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Furina	Xilonen Bennett	- Furina is obviously the better DMG% support option, but she can easily be replaced by any general "buffer" that works well with Varesa. - Xilonen can shred elemental RES and trigger the full Cinder City set 4-piece effect. - Bennett has a generous ATK% buff tied to his Elemental Burst area, which if you can work around, can result in decent performance regardless.
Xianyun	Kazuha Zhongli	- Xianyun compounds Furina's DMG% buffs with her own Plunging Attack DMG increases. She's also effectively the primary sustain of the team, but can be substituted with any other generalist buffer or sustain as well. - You can consider replacing her with an Anemo support that can equip Viridescent Venerer like Kazuha, or a sustain with RES Shred like Zhongli. - Remember to choose a healer rather than a shielder if you're still using Furina due to her HP drain.
Iansan	Bennett Fischl Ororon Ineffa	- As stated, while Iansan synergizes extremely well with Varesa, she can be replaced if you don't have her. - Bennett's ATK buff is substantial, but can be troublesome to maintain due to being limited to his Burst area. - Fischl with her Hexerei buffs can provide a small ATK% buff in an Overload team. - Ororon is the best option if you want reliable Energy gain for Varesa while also maintaining the full Cinder City set buff. - Optionally, you can consider using Ineffa in this team as well, provided you have a Hydro source so she can benefit from Lunar-Charged still.

Replacing Xianyun results in the team being less "Plunge DPS" and more hypercarry oriented. The difference shouldn't be too great that it'd compel you to secure Xianyun just for this, so use whichever characters you have at hand.

Aggravate Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Varesa	Vivid Notions Long Night's Oath x4 Main ATK% or Elemental Mastery/ Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. Elemental Mastery 4. ATK%
Nahida	A Thousand Floating Dreams Deepwood Memories x4 Main EM / EM / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. Elemental Mastery
Xianyun	Crane's Echoing Call Viridescent Venerer x4 Main Energy Recharge or ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. ATK%
Iansan	Symphonist of Scents └ Equip Favonius Lance if you need more Energy for the team. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Energy Recharge or ATK% / ATK% / ATK% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. ATK% 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance)

Varesa's damage scales with her ATK rather than Elemental Mastery, but she can equip EM main-stat artifacts in an Aggravate team to increase the damage output of the hits that are affected with Aggravate. Due to her less frequent hits, Varesa's DPS potential in an Aggravate team is less impressive, but you can still choose to run it in the event you need Dendro to deal with specific combat gimmicks or mechanics.

Rotation Of Aggravate Team

As stated in other teams, remember to avoid using Varesa's normal Elemental Burst since it can cause a break in the next rotation.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Nahida	Yaoyao Baizhu	- Nahida offers the most in the Dendro slot due having Elemental Mastery buffs in her kit. - You can still substitute her with any decent Off-Field Dendro applicator like Yaoyao or Baizhu, with Yaoyao being better in multi-target content and Baizhu being more usable into single-target content.
Xianyun	Kazuha Zhongli	- Xianyun is still one of Varesa's ideal teammates due to the Plunging DMG buffs, but you have plenty of alternatives otherwise. - You can consider replacing her with an Anemo support that can equip Viridescent Venerer like Kazuha, or a sustain with RES Shred like Zhongli. - Remember to choose a healer rather than a shielder if you're still using Furina due to her HP drain.
Iansan	Ororon	- As stated, while Iansan synergizes extremely well with Varesa, she can be replaced if you don't have her. - Ororon is the best option if you want reliable Energy gain for Varesa while also maintaining the full Cinder City set buff.

This team is akin to her Hypercarry team, just with the inclusion of a Dendro unit to help trigger the Aggravate reaction. The same teambuilding logic from that team also applies here, wherein the goal is to favor general buffers over Sub-DPSes to ensure that Varesa still deals a decent amount of damage regardless if it isn't her best team.
