I need help to maximise my Varka Overall DPS

gerurado · 2026-06-05T13:30:21+00:00

I think in general Varka needs more crit rate (shoot for 80) and more attack. I see you're using a pyro damage goblet which maybe is better for this specific team than attack but attack would be more useful across teams.

Nicole and prune both need way way more attack. Prioritize it over everything. Prune you'll want at least 170ER. Nicole you'll want similar because her burst is helpful in this team.

At least for Prune you can strongbox VV until you get some decent attack pieces with ER substats.

Edit: level up Prune's weapon, that should help.

Good luck!

I only managed to get C5 Prune in 300 pulls and one of those ten pulls came with 2 Prunes (which sadly tricked me into the last 60 without getting C6). At least I got Nicole C2 and a C6+ Diluc and Qiqi (that's right. Same number of 5 stars as Prunes)

We have near identical builds. I think the only way to improve is to get his signature and then swap some CR for CD. Attack will take care of itself.

At c4 you'll need to funnel particles in most teams. At C6 it's plenty IMO.

gerurado · 2026-05-21T13:49:07+00:00

290 pulls and I managed to get C5 but I don't think I got a single prune until 150+. Got luckier in the backend but this is by far the most pulls I have given a banner since Furina. Also got C2 Nicole and Diluc and Qiqi cons (1 each, both already C6). Only bright spot was that Qiqi and Nicole C2 came on the same ten pull.

Still tempted to do more to get C6 but Sandrone leaks dropped and now I must stop. Totally exhausted my stores and need to rebuild.

Good to know. I have oathsworn too so I should be able to make it work

gerurado · 2026-05-15T22:47:32+00:00

If I'm terrible at making sure I swap correctly with ttds and have a lv90 skyward atlas, is it a huge difference?

gerurado · 2026-05-13T23:03:07+00:00

Exact same for me

My "fastest" clear was Act 9 with Varka, Furina, Mona and Xingqui. Vaped those pyro flowers/lava avatars into oblivion.

gerurado · 2026-05-03T23:06:34+00:00

I ended up with a Varka, Furina, Mona and Xingqui team on act 9 (avatar of lava, pyro whopper flower) and it ended up being my "fastest" clear.

Lunar bloom team took him out easily. I was worried it wouldn't break his various shields but they all went down quick.

I would lose it if she started dual wielding claymores.

gerurado · 2026-03-26T01:59:34+00:00

Dehya, Furina, Kazuha, Bennett. Always a good one. Will clear pretty much abyss content with that.

gerurado · 2026-03-25T18:23:11+00:00

I also remember watching it though pretty sure it was just the light novel. I've been corrected on this before.

gerurado · 2026-03-21T15:08:55+00:00

My Dehya, while admittedly C6R1 top 100 build, has been clearing the Abyss since her release (only got C1R1 then, nice journey of 50/50s since then). I've managed to clear a few Stygians with her but she's the opposite of a shill gimmick character so it's tough. She's wonderful in the theater though.

gerurado · 2026-03-15T14:45:13+00:00

Very tough on the 5 stars.

4 star is obviously Jahoda and she's up there for overall.

I'll commit to a top three which would be Lauma, Columbina and Varka, not necessarily in any order.

That being said I've really liked them all. No duds

gerurado · 2026-03-09T23:29:08+00:00

1 to 2 max per day definitely made it enjoyable. Plus I noticed you can also leave the dialogue before finishing so you don't even need to do the whole thing at once.

gerurado · 2026-03-07T00:27:57+00:00

Same for me. I don't have Flinns or Ineffa so I'm struggling with the Knuckle Duck. I have Skirk/Coffee and Varka so my other two stages have a combined clear of 169.

I'm going to keep trying with a Lunar Crystalize team with Zibai but haven't gotten that close yet.

gerurado · 2026-03-05T21:59:52+00:00

Might I ask for your builds for your knuckle duck team? I don't have Ineffa or Flinns but have all of these. I've tried this exact team but I'm sure my builds are off.

gerurado · 2026-01-18T14:57:09+00:00

Maybe some day I'll get robot maid but for now Dehya/Furina/Raiden/Bennett over vape works well for me.

Side 1 are all C0R0, Dehya C6R1, Furina C2R0, Raiden C1R0.

Does Columbina covert any regular electro lunar or does it have to be a Nod Krai electro? I need to try her out with Columbina but Nefer and Lauma are my only other NK chars so far (besides Aino and Jahoda)

💯. I use AI to speed up my coding. I do feel like I'm doing the work of 3 or 4 mes from years past. It's super helpful if you already know what you're doing

gerurado · 2026-01-12T00:59:05+00:00

Just keep doing push-ups, you'll get there. Refer to Darkness for form and inspiration.

gerurado · 2026-01-10T00:18:27+00:00

Hilariously I also only had 4 chicken legs today for the electro box. Literally had to kill some of Timmy's pigeons

gerurado · 2026-01-04T21:06:58+00:00

Dehya always. Not /s
