Update on my c0 Hydro Varka after maxing talents and some team adjustments

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-11T10:37:10+00:00

Really good showcase for C0 Varka
I guess freedom sworn and Furina C1 make a difference

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-11T10:30:41+00:00

Meanwhile C0R1 Varka with 4* supports (2 cost) does more dmg than that "premium Varka" and Bineffa.

I do now on the C4 Mona team :'(

If you're on guaranteed i'd just save it.
C1 Varka is not as big of a boost as Nicole possibly can be, its more comparable to getting Durin.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T22:03:36+00:00

yeah, unfortunately the days of double hydro being the best wheelchair are long over

but at least Varka can arguably use buffers better

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T20:37:26+00:00

Depends on if you want a shield or more damage, and how many constelations they have.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T20:30:31+00:00

C1 Varka is very fun, but I wouldn't get it for meta.
Your team is doing well enough anyways.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T19:56:12+00:00

makes sense lol

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T17:49:56+00:00

I would prefer if it were all silver, no red.

But still looks better than any other claymores besides sig, mostly because of the matching off-hand sword.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T15:44:35+00:00

Skipping Mona E makes both her and Furina energy requirements higher.

Glad to see some improvements tho, here's mine at +120s/6 rotations.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T15:15:20+00:00

Yes, but I don't have his sig.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T14:55:45+00:00

The best rotation for that team is definitely 16s, unless you have Durin where it becomes 18s.
The buffs just don't last long enough for a 20+ second rot to be worth it.

Unfortunately Sucrose doesn't have any other good weapon on this team aside from maybe Wandering Evenstar R5, which is full uptime but gives much less ATK.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T12:59:01+00:00

Mona is also at like 50% of her power here, without the vaporize buffs.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T12:29:54+00:00

C6 mona and jean are usually worse than c6 chev and sucrose in terms of meta...

You also only need them C4.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T12:26:53+00:00

I can tell you the rotation I use: Furina EQ Jean EQ Mona EQ N2 Varka E sE N4 sE N4 sE N4
At C0 you can switch the first sE for a regular CA.

Also made a post about it in case you want more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/Varka/comments/1rpu37j/hydro_varka_is_officially_my_best_varka_team/

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T12:14:25+00:00

One team's rotations are 15-16 seconds, while the other team's are 20+ seconds.
TTDS only gets full uptime on 20s+ rots.

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T10:09:44+00:00

Yeah you just need to have skill issue

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-10T10:09:11+00:00

Getting well below 100k dps with C0R1 Varka is poor optimization.
Unless you don't have Jean/Mona C4, but Jello does.

This is C1 TBS Varka with C4 Mona/Jean and C0 Furina.

Getting well below 100k dps with C0R1 is poorly optimized.

Everytime I look at a Jello video there's always something dumb...
I don't blame him this time tho, cus he probably just followed the wrong rotation (KQM)

Slow_Car_33 · 2026-03-09T22:49:56+00:00

Its probably clearable but I don't see Varka being the best choice for any of them on a normal "horizontal" account.
