HoYoverse has finally ended the years-long wait for Genshin Impact players. On February 25th, the Lunar Edition V introduces the legendary Grandmaster Varka to the playable roster. The character sheds his mythical status to dominate the battlefield with brand-new gameplay .

Varka's skill set revolutionizes the current meta. He utilizes the dual-wielding mechanic of Mandobles, delivering devastating blows. While his left hand deals Anemo damage, his elemental ability absorbs the elements of the group. In this way, he becomes a true elemental reaction machine. Furthermore, the "Hexerei" effect allows for infinite charged attacks without consuming stamina.

However, planning the protogems will be a challenge for fans. The first phase of the banner features Varka and the return of Flins. Soon after, the second half introduces the mysterious Skirk, Tartaglia's mentor, along with Escoffier. Meanwhile, the "Song of the Welkin Moon" event takes us back to Mondstadt with exclusive rewards. Get ready to discover the secrets of the Caballero de Boreas in this epic update.
