Whom should I pull for? Varesa, Columbina or Skirk?

I am confused on whom should I pull for in the next upcoming patches. Right now I have saved almost 180 pulls and i am on a guarantee...

For context, I don't have any nodkrai characters, so don't know whether pulling for Columbina would be a smart choice or not since she will need another nod krai character in her party to get ascendant gleam and would probably need atleast 2 other nod krai strong units to make her team powerful.

Now coming to Varesa, all my current main roster mostly comprises of Natlan Characters. Barring Maulani, Varesa and Xilonen i have all the other Natlan characters in my account as that was the region which made me comeback to genshin. So i do love both Natlan and the characters.. The problem is that, atleast from what I have heard from others that Varesa needs C6 Iansan & C6 Chevy to be the absolute best, but rn my Iansan is C1 and Chevy is C0. This can be a bummer as four star cons are more difficult to obtain compared to the five star one from a banner...

And then there is the option of going for Skirk...So if iam right, Skirk needs Escoffier to be her Meta best. So I will have to pull both Escoffier and Skrik which is absolutely possible since they are coming in later patches. Also I have furina too in my account and i believe she will also work well in a Skirk team.

So what do you all think about this? Whom should I pull for among these characters?

Varesa is a versatile DPS who works well with a lot of supports+has specifically catered shill content

Columbina is an archon support who buffs lunar reactions

Skirk is a very strong DPS with restrictive team building and yes, ideally wants Escoffier

Which do you need more?

I am not that big into lunar reactions...I did like Bina's ultimate animation, but since she too probably needs another couple of nodkrai units with her to be a meta team, I might have to hold off on that since that will mean essentially pulling for 3 characters which is not going to be easy at all for me.

So probably it's going to be Varesa or Skirk, but don't know whether Varesa will be super strong if I don't manage to get C6 Chevy or C6 Iansan cons... With Skirk this might not be a huge issue, as Escoffier is a 5 star character and is probably easier to obtain than a C6 4 star. But again with Skirk I am not going to wish for her weapon cause of losing all of my 50/50 on the past weapon banners.. So don't know how good will be a free or craftable weapon for her?

I use Varesa with Benny, Furina and Xianyun and it does pretty decent numbers. I don’t think Chevy and Iansan are necessary for her, since she’s a pretty versatile unit and you’ll be able to clear plunge shill in the future.

I’m running my c1 Skirk with PJWS and it’s more than enough to clear all non-shill endgame content minus dire.
Her BIS F2P, Finale of the Deep, only loses about 5% damage compared to PJWS last I checked.

Either way, both are very strong DPS choices, although as a lower-skill player I personally think Skirk is a little safer to use, since I often get hit out of the air on plunge attacks when I’m playing Varesa.

Escoffier is also just a really nice unit to have and is surprisingly flexible.

Wdym you use Skirk with PJWS ?

Since when my girl has become a polearm user ? 😭

💀 I got PJC and PJWS mixed up

BandicootFar41262026-01-03 04:53

That's what happens when you use acronyms too much lol.

Well I don't have PJC neither so if I pull one day on any weapon banner, I prefer her Sig lol.

Indeed to build a functional Skirk team, you just need Furina (you have it) and ofc Escoffier, so for you it's just 2 5* cost. The 4th spot can be anyone you have between Citlali, Layla, Dahlia, Mona, Xingqiu etc...

Regarding Varesa she is not a bad choice either. Very f2p friendly afaik. Slap a Benny or Iansan, a Chevreuse and even Pyro Traveler and you are done.

EDIT : you have almost all Natlan characters ? So you can ever pair her with off-field Mavuika.

You can try to get both if you saved enough pulls since 6.0.

I mean I will personnally try to get Bina, Ineffa and Escoffier in the span of two patches, but it's big copium.
