HoYoverse<\/span><\/span><\/a> has announced that Genshin Impact<\/span><\/span><\/a> Version Luna V, titled \u201cSong of the Welkin Moon: Variation \u2014 Homeward, He Who Caught the Wind,\u201d will launch on February 25.<\/p>\n

The update brings players back to Mondstadt, introduces Varka as a new 5-star playable character, and features a major flagship event centered around revisiting early moments in the game\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

Varka Joins as 5-Star Anemo Claymore User<\/h4>\n

Varka<\/span><\/span>, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, will officially become playable in Version Luna V. Long referenced in Mondstadt\u2019s storyline, Varka makes his debut as a 5-star Anemo claymore wielder with a dual-wield combat style.<\/p>\n

His kit allows him to deal two different types of Elemental DMG simultaneously. Varka\u2019s Elemental Skill enhances his Normal Attacks and converts the damage type of his right-hand claymore based on teammates\u2019 elements \u2014 Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo \u2014 while his left-hand claymore continues dealing Anemo DMG.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He can also activate enhanced Normal Attacks more frequently to trigger a special Elemental Skill or a unique Charged Attack that does not consume Stamina. His Hexerei effect further increases his ability uptime and overall damage output.<\/p>\n

Players will also be able to unlock a new weapon appearance for both of his weapons after defeating a Wolf Spirit fragment during gameplay.<\/p>\n

Event Wishes and Mondstadt Chronicled Wish Return<\/h4>\n

Varka\u2019s debut banner will headline the first phase of Event Wishes alongside a rerun of Flins. The second phase will feature returning characters Skirk and Escoffier.<\/p>\n

The Mondstadt-themed Chronicled Wish banner will also return during this update.<\/p>\n
