Here's everything you need to know about Genshin Impact's Varesa:
Genshin Impact Varesa release date
Genshin Impact's Varesa arrived as a playable character on March 26, 2025, in the first half of the 5.5 update. Her banner ran alongside the returning five-star, Genshin Impact's Xianyun, and her teacher, Genshin Impact's Iansan, was a featured four-star on both.
Who is Varesa?
Varesa is a five-star electro catalyst wielder. She's also an orchard owner and competitive eater from Natlan's Collective of Plenty. She's known across the region for her incredible produce and the tales of her 'Masked Hero' alter ego taking down monsters and thieves along her trade routes.
Varesa studied combat under Iansan, who describes her as her "most unusual pupil." She's laid-back and carefree, following her stomach most of the time, but you shouldn't underestimate her in battle, as her methods are "somewhat aggressive."
Varesa won the 242nd Inferno Stomach Supremo by eating 80 servings of Hot Spring O'Clock, and joined in with the 243rd competition's preliminaries across Natlan just to enjoy some good food.
In terms of combat, she's an electro plunge crit DPS and, unsurprisingly, works well alongside Iansan, as well as Genshin Impact's Mavuika, Genshin Impact's Furina, and Genshin Impact's Chevreuse. Her best artifact set is Long Night's Oath, as it explicitly buffs plunging attacks.
Who are Varesa's voice actors?
Varesa's English voice actor is Jane Jackson, who you might recognize as the female Wuthering Waves Rover. Her Japanese voice actor, Ichimichi Mao, plays Snow White in Nikke, Viviana in Arknights, and several ships in Azur Lane.
Varesa's Chinese voice actor, Qiao Su, has voiced characters in Honkai Impact 3rd, and Korean voice actor Kim Ye-rim appears in Cookie Run: Kingdom and Limbus Company.
