With footwork swift as lightning and fierce as thunder, Varesa displays the true spirit of lucha libre, rushing forward a certain distance and dealing Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG to opponents in her path.
After using this Skill, Varesa gains 20 Nightsoul points and gains the "Follow-Up Strike" effect: Varesa has increased interruption resistance during this time, and upon pressing her Normal Attack, she will quickly unleash a Charged Attack that does not consume Stamina. "Follow-Up Strike" will be canceled after Varesa uses a Charged Attack.
She will use different techniques based on whether the skill is Tapped or Held.

Tap
Quickly rush a certain distance forward.

Hold
Varesa enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state and switches to Sudden Onrush mode.

Sudden Onrush
Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. In this state, Varesa's Movement SPD and interruption resistance are increased. She can use terrain to execute flying leaps or consume additional Nightsoul points to traverse atop water or liquid Phlogiston while remaining immune to DMG from the latter.

Nightsoul's Blessing: Varesa
When she runs out of Nightsoul points, her Nightsoul's Blessing state will be canceled. When Varesa is in the Sudden Onrush state or Fiery Passion state, she will always be counted as being in the Nightsoul's Blessing state.

Has 2 charges. When Varesa enters the Fiery Passion state, she will obtain an additional Tap charge of her Elemental Skill and its DMG will be increased.

Fiery Passion
  • While not in the Fiery Passion state, Varesa can use Plunging Attacks to gain Nightsoul points. She will enter Fiery Passion when she reaches maximum Nightsoul points via this method, or when she uses her Elemental Burst Guardian Vent!
  • While in the Fiery Passion state, her Normal Attacks, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst will gain unique buffs. She can also use a special Elemental Burst shortly after using a Plunging Attack.
  • The Fiery Passion state lasts for up to 15s and will end when she runs out of Nightsoul points or after she leaves combat for a period of time.
  • Varesa's Elemental Skill shares ICD with her Charged Attacks and special Elemental Burst.

Leaps into the air before using the momentum of the drop to unleash a powerful flying kick, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG to opponents — just like those heroes of justice in woven scrolls for kids!
After using this Skill, Varesa's Nightsoul points will be restored to maximum and she will enter the Fiery Passion state.

In the Fiery Passion state, Varesa's Elemental Burst will deal a greater amount of Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG.

Additionally, she will briefly activate Apex Drive after using a Plunging Attack while in her Fiery Passion state.

Apex Drive
Increases Varesa's interruption resistance. While affected by Apex Drive, Varesa can ignore her Elemental Burst CD and consume less Energy to use her special Elemental Burst, "Guardian Vent: Volcano Kablam": This causes her to use the especially powerful Plunging Attack, the "Thunderous Tornado Eruption," which deals Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG upon landing before causing her to exit Apex Drive. This DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.
Varesa will exit Apex Drive after using her Elemental Skill.

Character Description

Varesa's Elemental Skill allows her to quickly use a Charged Attack and set up a cycle of Elemental Skills, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks. When Varesa maxes out her Nightsoul points through a Plunging Attack, she will enter the Fiery Passion state, which enhances all her skills.
Her Elemental Burst deals Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG, and will max out Varesa's Nightsoul points, causing her to enter the Fiery Passion state. When in this state, Varesa's Elemental Burst deals increased DMG.
For a short time after using a Plunging Attack while in the Fiery Passion state, Varesa can ignore skill CD and unleash 1 special Elemental Burst that costs less Energy, using 1 special Plunging Attack that deals Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG.

Holding the Elemental Skill causes Varesa to enter Sudden Onrush mode, causing her to move swiftly until her Nightsoul points are depleted. When she has insufficient Nightsoul points, she will consume Phlogiston to maintain this state.

To facilitate experiencing the character's Elemental Burst and Nightsoul's Blessing state, additional Elemental Orbs will appear in the trial stage, and more objects will provide Phlogiston.
