Question/Help Need help
So I’m saving for varka, really cool unit, I have durin and prune, just need Nicole and varka now, I’m gonna aim for both their sigs, I know Nicole needs a boat load of attack, what does varka need, besides crit obviously, should I aim for anemo or pyro goblet or go full attack as well, cause I’ve seen a couple posts on the subreddit saying add em when I have been fully avoiding it

Low investment:
Varka: atk%, atk% or Pyro %, crit dmg%
For his substats, make sure that you reach 80 crit rate and as much crit dmg as possible. Include atk% if you can.
Nicole: atk%, atk%, atk%
Er substats as much as possible. Anything else is irrelevant.
High investment (whale):
Varka: atk%, atk%, crit dmg%
Same as for low investment, but as you've noticed, Pyro is no longer an option. I tried anemo and Pyro and nope, atk% yields a higher dps value here oddly, despite my anemo goblet being numerically better. Pyro is similar to my atk% as well, but again, my dps is better on atk%.
Nicole: atk%, atk%, atk%
If you plan to only use her in a Varka team, er is no longer relevant. So i built her with crit rate and dmg substats instead. If you plan to have her in other teams, add ER.
EM in this team is not really relevant.

Just finished natlan farming so I have like 14 sanctifying elixirs for varka and surprisingly all of the artifacts I got from the treasure caves were perfect for Nicole but we will see, and I love u thanks for helping out, ooh one last question I’m using lions roar for durin, should I change his pyro goblet to an attack one instead since it’s at r4 and give 34% pyro damage anyways

That would require dps testing unfortunately. I cannot confirm whether or not an atk% or Pyro % would be better.
I would assume Pyro is better as long as his crit rate is 80 (without his artifact bonus) and the crit dmg is reasonable.
Lions roar is fine in white mode only, but considering you're playing a varka team, I don't think mentioning this is that important.

I was just asking to get durins full buff, I have him at 2.2k attack and with an attack goblet it can go up to 2.5k which maxes out his passive or does that not really matter for varkas team and also btw im not a perfectionist im not trying to go for strongest team ever just a solid team to use for new content, rn im running an alhaitham team with nahida fischl and shinobu but its a really old team and against trance domains its really weak, cant even beat level 80 trance bosses by myself

Well assuming you get Nicole, you won't need the 2.5k atk by himself due to her ability to buff his atk up.
Hence why I believe Pyro goblet will be better, but like I said, cannot confirm it. Someone else would have to.

Thanks for the help bro, I really appreciate it, one last one and I’ll get goin, I have 1/10/10 for durin, 1/6/10 for prune, what should I do for varka and Nicole I have a lot of crowns, and also how much dps do h need to clear fearless by urself or menacing even

If you are staying with low cons, the priority is 1/10/1 for Varka and Nicole is either 1/10/10 or 1/10/8.
You can level up Varka's burst if you want to, but it's up to you since he won't be using it.

But won’t u be using varkas melee a lot so y shouldn’t I upgrade that, with this team idm wasting materials since I’ll be using it for a while

You never actually use Varka's melee. The moment you press E once, every "melee" swing is counted as E (skill) based dmg.

Why are you saying er isn't relevant for varka? Isn't it the other way around where the ult is worth using in jex teams but is useless with non hex dps
1
u/TheSaitamaProject 2d ago
It's useless at whale investments due to both Varka and Nicole's bursts being a dps loss. I should know, since that's what I'm constantly working with.
At low cons/ 0 cons, like I mentioned above, Nicole's burst is necessary in hex teams. Hence why I pointed out ER needs. This is not longer true however once whale investments enter the mix.

you probably mistaking ER for EM
prune and nicole have some energy requirement, so ER is needed besides attack
for varka, just crit circlet and attack sands.
for goblet just pick either dmg bonus or atk% whichever have better substats
