FINAL V1 TEAM/WEAPON/CONSTELLATION CALCS.
Until it's not relevant tomorrow with beta changes
During V0/V1 a lot can change, we are still learning details about the character's current kit, a lot of things get misinterpreted, espescially due to confusing wording etc etc. Varesa was not different, my results were going up and down based on what I learnt, I worked greatly and should continue to work with Uncle Balls and Uncle Kitchen and I greatly appreciate all of the information they shared with me throughout this week, their footage, logs from which I got details on framecount and exact durations for buffs, and overall their clarifications on things I/other people were confused with
Also, shoutout to Prastal, Hyper, Flip and Harumi for sharing their calcs and helping me understand her kit etc they are great TC's
Chevreuse is by far her best support. C6 indefinitely makes her the best but you really DON'T need it for her to still be the best character for Varesa, and you DON'T need Mavuika, Bennett does very well as you can swap out of Varesa at any moment cause remember she's not tied to any infusion. But if you can't use Bennett/you won't like him for swapping reasons which is fair, you can use Xiangling/PMC and they are both fine but will be quite worse, on a sheet at least.
I was assuming 4 ECAP's last time cause of footage, but as I looked closely and reviewed/analyzed it more, I came to the conclusion Varesa's uptime with 5 ECAP is 626 frames - 10.26s, a lot shorter than what I was estimating which was 12s. Along with the fact Uncle Balls' used Iansans CA which is a useless ability and his inputs with Mavuika and Chevy weren't super fast, it does seem like you can pretty easily (especially if we cut Chevreuse's Burst) to have an 18s rotation with 5 ECAPs.
Xianyun has VV issues, ER issues, her buff is Single-Target, but you can also swap to her at any time to refresh VV, unfortunately can't use her skill as it has a 12s CD breaking the rotation but it's still nice.
Xilonen as I've been saying is not good for Varesa, she can get uptime on her A4 but still it's only 30% ATK, she's overriding the same Scroll spot with Iansan which decreases her value to the team as she's only 33% res shred and you're better off with Furina by a large margin. I expect her A4 to be changed so that it's not locked to a sub-optimal support.
I have misunderstood the weapon's buff, so I did have it worse by a big amount, so I apologize the sig is really good and a big upgrade for Varesa, otherwise you use Widsith which is a really good weapon and any 5 star whatever weapon is going to be very slightly better than Widsith on AVG
For artifacts, Obsidian is as good as Night BUT this is NOT at all an invitation to farm for Codex, as very very likely they will buff Night to be significantly stronger than Codex.
Con combos are confusing so I'll wait until tomorrow to properly calc them again. Overall I will say they are kinda bad and if you want to invest into Varesa get her weapon and then pull Furina/Xianyun/Mavuika cons, C2 especially although theoritically a big increase, with more Apex's you increase her field time which increases rot time so technically C2 might as well be a couple % better than C1.
By the way, from what I noticed and been clarified to me, Varesa at very least hits Collision plunges more consistantly than Xiao, potentially in Single Target she will always hit it, so that's what I've been assuming. Against the same enemy, Xiao hit 2 collisions out of 9 plunges, and Varesa about 30 out of 30 out of all the footage I've received on that one Array dude enemy
