Title	Description
Character Summary	Varka is an Anemo DPS character who dual-wields, dealing different types of Elemental DMG based on the party lineup. The effects of having two Hexerei characters in the party will be triggered by default in Varka's character trial. Additionally, all effects that deal different types of Elemental DMG can be triggered regardless of party lineup.
Elemental Skill: I	After using his Elemental Skill , Varka enters the special mode "Sturm und Drang." While in this mode, Varka's Normal and Charged Attacks deal increased DMG. In addition, his dual-wielded claymores will deal corresponding Elemental DMG based on the party lineup: DMG dealt by the claymore wielded in his left hand will be converted to Anemo DMG. When there are Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo characters in the party, the claymore wielded in his right hand deals corresponding Elemental DMG following the aforementioned priority order of Elemental Types.
