Compared to Liyue's lore and character backgrounds, Genshin Impact's🧜 Mondstadt seems to be missing half of what makes it special or a world power in Teyvat. There's actually a gaping void in Mondstadt right now even from the mere mention of Jean's title: Acting Grand Master. That's because the actual Grand Master, Varka is out and about, though there seems to be little information about him in the game.
That's quite odd since all the people in Mondstadt— even the cynical Diluc, talk highly about him. Even Varka's ꦕenemies in the Fatui consider him a respectable opponent. It also doesn't help that the game dangles some teasers or tidbits of information about him without actually building up for his re-appearan🦩ce. Hence, the mere mention of Varka's name raises more questions than answers.
10 ꦬ Where Did He Go? ꦯ
Why is Varka absent amidst the im🐟portant political and magical events in Mondst🌺adt? Apparently, he's on an expedition and took all of Mondstadt's elite with him. That was six months before the Traveler gets Robinson Crusoe'd to Teyvat.
Yes, it's an expedition, but to where, exactly? What was so important outside of Mondstadt that he had to leave such an important responsibility back home, taking the best of ⛄the K💖nights of Favonius with him? One would think that Jean should know, but she's rather quiet about Varka's whereabouts.
9 ꦕ Is He𝄹 Going To Come Back?
Varka disappearing off to somewhere seemingly far also raises another important question for the game's future: when's he coming b♛ack? After all, Jean can't be Acting Grand Master forever and Mondstadt needs its appointed and most powerful leader.
Compared to Liyue, Mondstadt isn't exactly in it🗹s best shape🎃 as the Fatui and the Abyss Order simultaneously seep through the cracks. If anything, someone should have already sent a letter to wherever Varka went, informing him of the direness of the situation back home.
8 🦩Is He Going To Be Playable? ꦿ
The more important query is whether Varka's going to be playable or not? With the rate Genshin Impact's proceeding right now, the new country, Inazuma is just around the corner. That means the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:latest characters will tend to be focused on the new nations.
That might leave little room for Varka's return and the prospect of him being a playable 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:character for the game. Moreover, he's supposed to be mature and seasoned while also being a mortal so he might not have the luxury of appearing young forever, unlike Zhongli or h💮is Adepti constituents.
7 How Powerful Was He? 🅰
It's hard to ask about Varka's playability without also questioning just how efficient he is as the best of the Knights of Favonius. Characters like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tartaglia, a Fatui Harbinger, have weighed him in, claiming that Vark✅a is the "Titan of the Kni🗹ghts of Favonius."
Razor claims that Varka is a tall and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:imposing figure too. Meanwhile, Barbara swears by Varka's skill. That only rai🌳ses more question marks though, since Varka's power appears to be anecdotal and hearsay at best. And if he truly is as powerful as they say, he really should be rushing back to Mondstadt to fix things that Jean c🅠an't.
6 Does He Have A Vision? 🅰 ꧑
It's also not clear if Varka is a Vision-us꧂er or not. Being one of the "Four Winds of Mondstadt," however, there's a big chance he is and that his Vision is of anemo, making him similar to Jean.
That's just pure speculation though. For all we know,💃 his Vision coul♌d be any Element or perhaps even none at all, or maybe he's just about to receive it in the said expedition. Based on his carefree Venti-like personality though, he might well be an anemo-user.
5 Is 🍒He A Claymore User Too?
If Varka is going to be a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:playable character, then his weapon o🎃f choice is also another point of speculation. There is evidence that he prefers ꦬto use the claymore. For one, he's a tall character who also appears to be extremely capable and strong.
Another thing that supports this evidence is that he's the one who taught Razor how to use the claymore. Given how efficient Razor became with that weapon in such a short time, Varka might well be one of the best claymore-wielders in Mondstadt. Then again, he might just be🅘 good at any weapon.
4 𝓰 Why Teach Razor How To Fight?
Here's an odd and grounded take on Varka's methods: why did he choose to arm a wild c🤪hild? It's an anime game though, so logic tends to get thrown out the window often and some suspension of disbelief is neede💖d.
Still, we're talking about a boy barely in his teens who grew up in the wild and probably needed to socialize with humans more before being introduced to their weapons. Of the millions of other things Varka could have taught Razor or perhaps could have done for him, he chose to make the boy's life more dangerous. The only reason Razor's still alive is h🐷is Vision.
3 Why Not Just Make Jean Theও Full Grand Master?
Even before Varka left Mondstadt for whatever reason, he was already letting Jean do the administrative work in the city-state. In fact, most of the𒀰 decision-making🐽 falls on Jean's lap and Varka was just there to explore and fight — sort of.
He even admitted that Jean was already ruling Mondstadt with how much more work she gets done. It's clear that Jean is more cut out for the busy work of being a Grand Master. Why didn't he just make Jean the Grand Master? He can still do what he wants𝓀 wit💖h his expeditions anyway.
2 What Exactly Is His Disposition? ❀
In one of Diluc's dialogue lines, he has something to say ab🌳out Varka. He claims that he understands Varka's disposition but he can't make sense of the Grand Master's actions. He stopped there and didn't specify what this "disposition" could be.
That alone brings up more topics of discussion than useful digestible information about Varka. It's also puzzling why 𝓡Diluc doesn't want to further talk about Varka, as if he's supposed to be keeping secrets for him.
1 Is He Even ꦓStill Alive Or F🌺riendly?
Before we even ask if Varka is playable or what kind of weapon he wields, pꦜerhaps we should discuss this first. He's been gone from Mondstadt for more than half a year already. No one also knows his status.
Barbara, whose parent went with Varka, is also worried about her father's fate, though she trusts in Varka's skill. There's a big chance he's alive, but even if he is, what guarantee is there of his allegiance or sanity? Come to t♍hink about it, Mondstadt has yet to have a dark storyline about its characters the same way Liyue handled Xiao. Varka could well be a nice opportunity for a more mature storytelling angle for Mondstadt.
