Ever since the first Traveler arrived on the continent of Teyvat, a certain name has been whispered: Varka – the Knight of Boreas, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius and a legend of Mondstadt. A myth no longer, he is officially joining your journey in Genshin Impact’s latest update.

What we love: It’s safe to say that the five-star Anemo character lives up to his fierce reputation, dominating the battlefield with not one, but two weapons!

Don’t miss: After unleashing his Elemental Skill, Varka enters the Sturm und Drang state, imbuing his dual weapons with an Anemo Infusion (which cannot be overridden) and an additional Infusion matching the elemental type of a teammate. Keep landing attacks to trigger an even more powerful Elemental Skill or Charged Attack.

More to explore: The version event Homeward, He Who Caught the Wind is now open. Travelers are also invited back to Mondstadt for a welcoming ceremony that feels both familiar and unexpected.
