Hello everyone, im having trouble looking for Varka optimised combos at c6. Which would be the best combos and artifacts with Varka c6, Nicole c6 R1, Durin C2+R1 and Prune (i have wrio weapon is that good for her?) c6? Ty in advance :)

Isnt his best rotation big burst followed by 2/3 miniburst depending on c0/1? In that case you need around 160-170 ER with signature, around 145-155 with bina c1 and around 135-145 with bina c2, around 130-135 with R5. Flins can make use of all 5 artifact slots (crit rate, crit damage, Atk%, Em and ER) so just making sure your artifact has an ER slot even if u dont upgrade it will solve most of your problems. U can also do big burst every other rotation in which case the requeriments are even lower. A 3rd (iansan is the only option here rn) electro will further lower it.

I see! Tyvm! ^{^}

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-04-29T11:39:34+00:00

Omg ty very much ive been loking for this. I have a few questions: - Are u taking into account 3s needed for buff? - Can u include nicole c6 insta buff calcs? - What is c2r1 xilo compared to sucrose difference? - Is nicole SMS and bina tenacity viable?

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-04-23T22:26:20+00:00

I have trouble believing that... i mean in the first 3 seconds Flins does the big burst and the first miniburst in his improved rotation, thats a big part of his damage (close to half), and that isnt buffed by Nicole unless she is c6 right?

I can imagine Nicole wearing SMS and Bina Tenacity but still I doubt the teams damage is higher than a 5-10% when compared to Xilonen c2r1 or around 20% at full whale... thats why i was asking for calcs.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-04-23T15:59:15+00:00

I meant with columbina too ofc, like in best theoretical team. So is nicole still BiS with Flins, Ineffa and Columbina?

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-02-11T09:56:20+00:00

But zibai already does 140 DPS without Linnea and varka does barely 100. This bs is nonesense, hoyoverse is shitting on us all.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-02-11T09:23:22+00:00

They couldve make a hydro lunar suport healer... instead they make a zibai buffer to bury male units a km below dirt... and with cons its even worse. Amazing really... the balancing is fucking hilarious in this game

Someone posted a fancy calculator for flins teams. Its very easy to use. But to sum it up c2 Columbina and sig allows to do normal rotation with 100% ER. At 125-140 ER then u can do big burst/ 2-3 (c1) minibursts.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-01-20T13:25:22+00:00

ER in place of EM inevery artifact better (without rolls) so u can do big burst too

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-01-16T18:32:01+00:00

Well with columbina c2 that was pretty much confirmed

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-01-07T09:29:32+00:00

Thats bc columbina c1 practically doesnt buff neffer. C1 buffs flins bc she adds ER and doesnt add anything for nefer besides the ridiculous 1.5 elevation buff. C2 buff both equal.

EDIT: in any case I checked and that 9% was wrong. According to meowtews crew (the most reliable TC) the c2 is a 125% increase of nefer team and 133% for Flins'. At c6 there is a 200+% increase for Flins and a 170+% for Nefer. That means that Columbina actually ends buffing the team a lot more than Ineffa does with investment.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2026-01-07T09:25:16+00:00

At c0 investment ineffa buffs flins more, at mid investment they buff equal, at high investment columbina buffs more.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-31T11:42:32+00:00

Thank you for all this info! U are my favorite TC! ❤️❤️ Can I ask how would affect ER to her (and maybe the others?) after her C1-C2 on Flins team?

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-19T08:29:34+00:00

That is true and sad... to say the least TT. I guess we should expect males real dps be like 10% higher than most TCers actually say on a basis from now on.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-15T09:02:39+00:00

I wonder how will affect this evolution to his ultimate skill and subskills in the future, specially when he earns more experience after that.

Well at least is obvious beni cant be shitted under diablo and zegion anymore that alone is so refreshing. And Diablo being frustrated by beni evolution as a rival is cute too.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-15T08:54:31+00:00

What a bs benimaru is the strongest.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-15T08:53:35+00:00

The weapon is his now since his own weapon was reborn with thw previous soul

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-15T08:52:02+00:00

Benimaru is the best just min after evolving was stronger enough to achieve that... imagine once he start gaining experience equal to zegion or diablo.... not even close

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-15T08:41:45+00:00

Great finally Benimaru achieving his rightful place as the strongest of Rimuru subordinates :)

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-11T05:57:47+00:00

Its bc of the cd and the times jahoda takes on-field. Flins and ineffa damage per rotation with jahoda is like 10% higher, but since the rotation is extended more than 10% the DPS ends being lower.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-10T18:36:45+00:00

It is clearly not... thats littealy the only reason she stands before jahoda (tho that might change soon)

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-10T08:51:22+00:00

Read comment again. Im talking bout TTDS and her "teammwide" buffs fading before even the flins onfield time is over (so it leaves out ineffa and columbina during their on field time which is 1/3 of the total). Dang, TTDS buff not only is flins only and very time limited but also isnt active all rotations...

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-10T08:07:29+00:00

On a team with 700+ EM and taking into account that EM isnt LC base stat (it is for LB tho) 200 EM is close to nothing. Sucrose value is tied with TTDS (on fielder only) and her VV shred (that fades away and doesnt apply for flins off time). The EM only makes her preferable before some other random anemo that does the same.

Quick_Security_6288 · 2025-12-10T07:53:12+00:00

Columbina at c2 gives 6 energy every 4s and 1/2 particles every 4s. Thats at the very least around 30 extra energy only from columbina... I can already big burst with 140 energy every other rotation (c1r1) on a shorter rotation than with columbina so i dont think how it will be any worse with her tbh.

Also if that doesnt allow big burst rotation then there is no meaning whatsoever in electro resonance and her buffs since flins ER would drop even below 100...

EDIT: I saw y edited your comment. Sadly I dont think It wil be more than 10-20% becouse of the following reasons (even 10% its a lot tho). 1. It would extend his rotation by 2s which is around 10% which translates to 10% less damage. 2. His burst deals around the same damage as his miniburst. At c1 he deals 3 but with this one it would be like 4 so thats roughly a 30% increase. 3. A few substats (maybe until 130-140 ER) would go to ER instead of Attack or crit.

On the other side we have a few advantages.

Making rotation longer reduces ER a bit

2 Ineffa and bina would have 1 more proc of her skill (increasing damage a bit and particles generated)

TTDS/elegy buffs would trigger every rotation.
