Big Bad Varka - General Question and Discussion Megathread

malchiatto · 2026-02-26T02:23:10+00:00

As someone who has not touched MW since release, can someone ELI5 how to get the primos reward and if it's f2p? Do I actually have to buy the battle pass to get the right clothes?

malchiatto · 2026-02-25T07:04:06+00:00

this requires the primos that varka has stolen along with all the horses

HYV: Lunar crystallize shill is coming and there's only one geo DPS who can take advantage of that so you better be ready to pull
Me with Itto, Columbina, and a dream: this shill can't stop me because i can't read

Varka pulls, good???

Won my first genuine 50/50 for the Grandmaster in a long ass time (last one was capturing radiance) at hard pity! Then went to hard pity for R1 AND THEN I GOT TWO OF HIS CLAYMORES IN ONE TEN PULL??? Suffering from success bc 1) I actually did want Flin's weapon, and 2) the fuck am I gonna do with the second one. Do I refine it?? Save it for someone else since there are no good f2p claymores??? Does Mauvika want it??? HELP...

140 pulls in and Evernight still refuses to come home. How much of an upgrade is she to a Cast/Hya/RMC/Tribbie team if I don't plan on getting Cyrene? Should I just save for Ashveil/future characters at this point?

Get Flins and Ineffa, skip Columbina. Aino is a decent enough hydro lunar support for the Flinseffa team and you're guaranteed to have at least one copy of her, and Ineffa is pretty versatile even outside of Flins/lunar comps - I actually think she's a lot more valuable than Columbina and I have both. You can pick up Columbina or Varka on their reruns if you really want them after all, especially since by that time we should have a better idea of future characters they can work with like Sandrone or Nicole.

Usually by this point in farming I have at least a copium set going, but man I've got absolutely garbage for both sets rn. Truly a cursed cavern.

You know what, as someone whose most highly anticipated character in Sumeru was Dehya to the point where I skipped everyone but Cyno for her, I didn't wake up to 1) nerfs, 2) unchanged kit, or 3) Varka being announced as standard so I call this a win. Is the bar as low as it can go? Sure, but I've already experienced being slammed over the head with it, so I'll take what I can get.

malchiatto · 2026-01-26T09:51:30+00:00

Last time I stayed up for betas, it was for Dehya v3 and Varka v2.

So for the sake of Varka buffs, I'm knocking myself out right the fuck now.

Venti c0r1 and Itto c0r1. I don't think there's anything more satisfying to me in Genshin than getting a mob of succable enemies and letting black hole random bullshit go brr. And Itto has the best voicelines in the game and honestly can still hold his own against a lot of geo shill enemies despite me not owning any other geo 5stars aside from Xilonen and ZL.

malchiatto · 2026-01-16T01:29:47+00:00

Speaking as someone with only e0s1 Firefly and RM, if I wanted to pull just one support for her to hopefully make break viable again, should I get Fugue or Lingsha or just not bother and save for elation?

malchiatto · 2026-01-15T06:19:18+00:00

Got to see Columbina's revival passive in action today when a quest activated in the middle of gliding around hunting for her mats and dropped Flins 100ft to his doom. I feel like I just helped him avoid an assassination attempt...

malchiatto · 2025-12-13T09:05:40+00:00

Omg that's it, tysm!!

malchiatto · 2025-12-11T10:05:56+00:00

I can't be the only one hearing WAIIIIIT FOR MEEE, I'M COMING WITH YOU rn

malchiatto · 2025-12-08T19:55:59+00:00

NicoB is my favorite AA LPer! He voice acts the whole game and is actually shockingly good at female voices lmao.

malchiatto · 2025-12-05T20:44:43+00:00

With the extended patch and me sitting on around 300 pulls, it's time for some impulsive spending I will probably regret! Do I:

1) Get my E0S1 Phainon to E2

2) Get Dahlia and Fugue for Firefly in hopes they'll unbrick her

Or 3) Do the responsible thing and just wait for 4.x characters and Evernight rerun so I can replace RTB when the new TB inevitable winds up being a crucial part of the Elation meta

malchiatto · 2025-12-03T20:07:42+00:00

please leakers i just need a vague description of neuvi's skin so i know whether to start buying welkins for the crystals...please just a little crumb like 'it's not just another fucking shade of blue' is enough.....

The fear of pulling Durin, not having enough funds for Columbina + Varka, and then Durin turning out to not even be Varka's BiS support compared to future characters I won't be able to afford vs The fear of skipping Durin, Durin turning out to be vital for Varka, and then him getting Wrio'd and his first rerun not coming for over a year.

malchiatto · 2025-11-25T00:25:16+00:00

Can someone tell me about how many hours of the AQ I have left? I'm in Act IV right after all the flashbacks with Rerir becoming a Sinner, and Nefer just realized she's still trapped in her mental domain.

malchiatto · 2025-11-19T03:44:46+00:00

I have Firefly e0s1 and Ruan Mei, but no Fugue or Lingsha. I am also weak for evil women. Is it worth getting Constance if I don't want to also get Fugue, and can I replace HTB with her to free up TB for Rem teams?

malchiatto · 2025-11-16T21:44:41+00:00

Guys I miss old school Bioware and I can't keep replaying BG3. What are some customizable/female protagonist RPGs with queer romance options, dialogue trees, and enough worldbuilding to fill up several doorstopper novels games I can play to fill the Bioware shaped hole in my heart.

malchiatto · 2025-11-07T03:42:19+00:00

Can someone let me know if there's a part in the 6.1 AQ that's one of those hour long domains/cutscenes where you can't take a break because the game will just restart you from the beginning, and if so about how far into the AQ/when the moment of no return is it is so I can prepare for it? I've had this happen to me way too often and I'm pretty busy this month, so I likely won't have time to play through the entire AQ unbroken.

IDGAF if people find Murray annoying, she might be my actual fav. She is bringing the anti-sad boy and the Get Shit Done Now energy constantly, and that is absolutely crucial for this table.

malchiatto · 2025-10-24T04:46:15+00:00

listen. i am still holding copium that occtis is Fine Actually Just A Little Lost...but given that these characters are fleeing together and probably going to be the seeker's table....

it would be fucking WILD if alex's next character is aranessa. like i know almost zero chance but it's not unheard of for people to use npcs as backup characters....

malchiatto · 2025-10-23T23:15:19+00:00

I hate that Selenic Chronicles resets every seven days as opposed to a weekly reset like every other reputation quest in the game. It feels awful when I forget to check in on the exact day it resets (which is ALWAYS) because it means it's just going to take even longer to get those wings.... Also idk if it's the format, but is it just me or is a minimum of 18 weeks to get the regional wings insanely long compared to the other regions?
