Datamining from the Genshin Impact beta has revealed that Varka will be accompanied by Flins, Escoffier, and Skirk on the Event Banners for Version 6.4. The upcoming Genshin Impact update is set to introduce Varka, the Knight of Boreas, a 5-Star Anemo Claymore with an ability kit that focuses on Swirl, scales with ATK, and features synergy with Hexerei characters. However, players should temper their expectations regarding Version 6.4, as the patch will only focus on Varka – featuring no Dornman Port or Lohen, as previously assumed.
In terms of what Genshin Impact players can expect from Varka, his playstyle can best be summed up as dual-wielding Claymores to deal dual-element damage via Normal Attacks infused by his Elemental Skill. This damage is always guaranteed to be Anemo, with the second damage type being Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo – determined by the element of his non-Anemo teammates. Varka's ability kit can only be fully realized in teams that fulfill the following conditions: two Hexerei characters, two Anemo characters, and two Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo characters that share their element type. In practice, this means ideally pairing Varka with Venti, Durin, and Bennett.
