[WIP] Varka is an Anemo main DPS character who deals two Elemental DMG types -- Anemo, and one among Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo, depending on team composition. To get the maximum bonuses for Varka (up to 220% increased damage for most of his attacks), it is imperative that the team is composed of two Anemo characters, and two characters of the same among Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo elements. Example: 2x Anemo + 2x Pyro characters, and so on.
He is also a Hexerei character and therefore synergizes well with other Hexerei characters in the team, shortening the cooldown of his special Elemental Skill by 1s whenever his Normal Attack hits an opponent.

Since Varka has multiple Elemental DMG, it is best to use an ATK goblet. Try to reach at least 2500 ATK to cap his passive talent, giving him 25% DMG Bonus.

Every 4s a character is on the field, they will deal 6~10% more DMG and take 3~2% more DMG. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and will not be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.Great BP weapon. Since Varka already has a lot of ATK, he needs more DMG Bonus for multipliers which Serpent Spine happily provides, with up to 50% DMG Bonus if fully stacked at R5.
