Varka Constellation Guide & Pull Recommendations | Genshin Impact 6.4

Hey Travelers! If you’ve been eyeing Varka, you probably already know he’s… a little tricky at first. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Today we’re breaking down all his constellations, from C0 to C6, so you’ll know exactly which ones are worth pulling for and how to make the most of your Varka.

Whether you’re a free-to-play player or a dedicated fan, by the end of this guide you’ll know exactly where to invest your primos and which pulls actually matter.

Why Pull Varka?

Strengths

• Boasts strong CRIT and ATK scaling, with signature and optimal weapons providing high base ATK and CRIT Rate, while top artifact sets further boost ATK and CRIT stats for potent damage output.
• Features extremely versatile Claymore weapon options across all tiers, including powerful 5-star picks, a top-tier 4-star option, and a craftable F2P choice, lowering the barrier for different investment levels.
• Synergizes exceptionally well with the Hexerei: Secret Rite party effect, which unlocks additional CRIT DMG bonuses from his signature weapon’s Four Winds' Hymn stacks for massive damage amplification.

Weaknesses

• Relies heavily on specific team setups and external effects to reach his full damage potential, with his signature weapon’s key bonuses being ineffective without the corresponding party buffs.
• Some of his best alternative artifact sets demand precise combat rotation, such as starting with a Charged Attack to trigger their damage bonuses, adding extra operation requirements for optimal play.

Pulling Advice

Pull Varka if you want a versatile 5-star Anemo Claymore Main DPS that excels with Hexerei team setups and has flexible weapon options for all investment levels. Skip him if you’re wary of his Beta status or don’t want to build around specific team compositions / rotations for his full potential.

 

Constellation Breakdown

Below is a streamlined analysis of Varka’s constellation kit to support practical pull and build decisions.

C0

Effect	Basic Skill-driven DPS loop with limited high-damage actions and minimal scaling.
Verdict	Playable but weak; relies on C1 to feel competitive.

C1

Come, Friend, Let Us Dance Beneath the Moon's Soft Glow

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Very High Value)
Effect	When Varka switches to Stormward Charge: His Elemental Skill Four Winds' Ascension (Special) gains an additional usage. He gains the Lyrical Libation effect: Consuming this effect while unleashing the special Elemental Skill or using the special Charged Attack Azure Devour deals 200% of the original DMG for the respective move.
Why it's good	A massive power spike that effectively reshapes Varka’s kit. It adds an extra key attack instance and forces one hit to deal double damage, resulting in a ~34% DPS increase alongside better rotation flow and burst consistency.
Verdict	Strongly recommended; borderline mandatory.

C2

When Dawn Breaks, Our Journey Shall Take Flight

Rating	⭐⭐
Effect	Unleashing special Elemental Skill Four Winds' Ascension or performing special Charged Attack Azure Devour triggers an extra AoE Anemo strike, dealing DMG equal to 800% of his ATK.
Why it's good	Deals Anemo damage instead of Pyro Not buffed by Pyro DMG%, VV shred, or his own passives Does not synergize with C1
Verdict	Not recommended to pull for specifically.

C3

O Friend, Quaff Not the Bitter Wine That Brings Tears of Woe

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐(high  value)
Effect	Increases Elemental Skill Windbound Execution Level by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Why it's good	A straightforward +3 Skill levels, which is excellent since the Skill accounts for most of Varka’s damage. Not flashy, but highly effective and reliable.
Verdict	Very good if you already have C1.

C4

For None May Take From Us Our Freedom of Song

Rating	⭐⭐
Effect	When Varka triggers a Swirl reaction, based on the Elemental Types involved in the reaction, all nearby party members gain a 20% Anemo DMG Bonus and the corresponding Elemental DMG Bonus for 10s.
Why it's good	Grants 20% team-wide damage bonus, which sounds good on paper but is numerically underwhelming. It helps sub-DPS units more than Varka himself and doesn’t justify targeted investment.
Verdict	Take it if you get it, but don’t chase it.

C5

Fill High the Cup With Fine Wine, for Tyrants Come and Go

Rating	⭐⭐⭐
Effect	Increases Elemental Burst Northwind Avatar Level by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Why it's good	Adds +3 Burst levels, but Varka’s Burst is not part of his core rotation. The constellation is functional but offers minimal real impact on damage or gameplay feel.
Verdict	Acceptable as a stepping stone, but not a stopping point.

C6

Beloved Mondstadt, Steadfast You Shall Shine

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(very high value)
Effect	Stormward Charge Enhancement: After using Four Winds' Ascension, tapping Varka’s Elemental Skill or holding his Normal Attack triggers the special Charged Attack Azure Devour without consuming any uses. After performing Azure Devour, tapping the Elemental Skill unleashes Four Winds' Ascension once more, also without consuming uses. Passive Enhancement (Wind's Vanguard): Each stack of Azure Fang’s Oath increases Varka’s CRIT DMG by 15%.
Why it's good	Significantly improves rotation flow Enables rapid Skill chaining after Charged Attacks Grants +60% Crit DMG This constellation fundamentally changes how smooth and powerful Varka feels.
Verdict	Extremely strong, but clearly locked behind heavy investment.

 

Pulling Strategy & Recommendations

Based on Varka’s current performance and constellation value under modern 5★ standards, here is how you should approach pulling purely from a constellation perspective.

Low Investment Players

Recommendation: Stop at C0 or skip entirely.

At C0, Varka struggles to compete with other modern 5★ DPS characters. His damage output and overall feel are both lacking, and he relies heavily on early constellations to reach a reasonable baseline.

Who this is for:

• F2P or very low spenders
• Players prioritizing account efficiency
• Meta-focused players

 

Moderate Investment Players

Recommendation: Aim for C1.

C1 is the single most important breakpoint in Varka’s kit.

• Large, immediate DPS increase
• Better rotation consistency
• Noticeable improvement in overall feel

At C1, Varka becomes playable and adequate, though still not outstanding compared to other top-tier DPS characters at low constellations.

If you are only pulling one constellation, this should be it.

 

Committed Players / Light Whales

Recommendation: Stop at C3.

C3 significantly improves Varka’s damage by scaling his core Skill, which accounts for the majority of his output.

At C3, Varka’s performance finally reaches a level comparable to many other strong DPS characters at lower constellations.

Beyond this point, the return on investment drops noticeably until C6.

 

High Investment / True Fans

Recommendation: C6 (Complete Form).

C6 is where Varka fully comes together:

• Much smoother rotations
• Faster skill chaining
• Substantial damage ceiling increase

This constellation dramatically improves both power and gameplay feel, but it comes at a very high cost and should only be considered by dedicated fans or heavy spenders.

Constellations to Avoid Chasing

• C2: Offers damage, but with poor synergy and awkward design
• C4: Team utility is too low to justify targeted investment

These constellations are fine if obtained incidentally, but not worth pulling for on their own.

 

Final Recommendation

If you can’t reach at least C1, it’s generally better to skip.

Varka is a character whose viability is heavily gated behind early constellation investment, and players should plan their pulls accordingly.
