Genshin Impact 6.4 Varka V0 Kit Leak: The Arcane System Finally Gets a True Main DPS！

Character Overview

Varka, the current Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, codenamed the Knight of Boreas, is widely regarded as the strongest human combatant in the region and the true backbone of the entire order.

About half a year before the Traveler arrived in Mondstadt, Varka led the elite forces of the Knights on an expedition to investigate unknown threats along Teyvat’s northern borders, entrusting all internal affairs to Acting Grand Master Jean.

Straightforward, dependable, and deeply invested in nurturing the next generation, Varka is a legendary figure trusted by both the people of Mondstadt and every Knight under his command.

Role & Element

As the soul of the Northern Knights, Varka’s role perfectly matches his “Grand Master” status — everything about his kit screams high-tier DPS.

Core Role
Anemo mixed-damage main DPS, absolute core of the Arcane system
(Arcane identity unlocked after completing “The Witch’s Curriculum”)

Weapon Gimmick
Unique dual-weapon system:
• One blade is permanently infused with Anemo
• The other blade can be infused with Pyro / Hydro / Electro / Cryo based on team element priority
• Dual blades calculate damage independently and cannot be overridden by external infusions

Key Strengths
Built-in exploration mobility, making him excellent for both open-world traversal and Spiral Abyss content

Skill Kit (V0)

Elemental Skill (E)
Tap: Performs a leaping slash and enters Gale Rush Mode, massively boosting Normal and Charged Attack damage while triggering dual-blade Swirl interactions. Mixed damage spikes instantly.

Hold: A charged dash with displacement, only an 8-second cooldown. Extremely flexible for repositioning, chasing enemies, or dodging mechanics.

Elemental Burst (Q)
Unleashes two high-multiplier Anemo slashes.
If the party contains other elements, the first slash will trigger a synced Swirl reaction.

Energy Cost: 60
Cooldown: 15s
Primary purpose is to amplify Skill uptime and burst windows rather than act as a standalone nuke.

Talents & Arcane System Bonuses

Arcane Core Effect
When the party includes 2 or more Arcane-type characters (such as Venti or Klee), Varka activates Arcane: Secret Rite.

Elemental Synergy Buffs
• Double Anemo or double same-element teammates grant +140% damage during Gale Rush Mode
• If both conditions are met simultaneously (e.g. double Anemo + double Pyro), damage bonus jumps to 220%

Swirl Stacking Mechanic
When teammates trigger Swirl reactions, Varka gains stacks of Oath of Azure Fang:
• Max 4 stacks
• Each stack increases damage by 7.5%
• At C6, stacks also grant bonus CRIT DMG
Extremely high ceiling potential.

Team Comp Predictions

Core Team Logic:
Double Anemo + double Arcane or double same-element teammates.
Meet this condition and Varka’s damage is fully unlocked.

Example Team:
Varka + Venti / Faruzan + Durin + Bennett
(Leaks suggest a future version may replace Bennett with a new support, possibly Nico)

Final Thoughts

Overall, Varka’s V0 kit looks very solid. He’s tightly integrated with the Arcane system, giving him a massive damage ceiling, while still remaining compatible with older characters — a rare balance of power and flexibility.

His arrival could single-handedly revive the Arcane archetype. The dual Anemo blade mechanic feels both fresh and brutally effective, delivering on both gameplay feel and raw numbers.

Current V0 values look stable, so expect only minor tuning going forward.
All that’s left now is to wait for the Knight of Boreas to officially take the field ⚔️
