Oh shit Lupus Majoris to match Razor's Lupus Minor so peak
WildSearcher562026-01-23 05:40
Does he sees Razor as his kid/family member in a way?
KazakiriKaoru2026-01-23 05:41
He is Razor's teacher in using a sword
WildSearcher562026-01-23 05:43
Thanks
Ryuusei_Dragon2026-01-23 05:41
He took him on after his parents died, teached him how to use a sword and brought him to Mondstadt for Lisa to educate him
WildSearcher562026-01-23 05:43
Thanks, I knew they met each other in the lore but it's been over 4 years since I've last thought about it
GinJoestarR2026-01-23 17:48
At least Rosaria sees it that way, back in the Windblume 3.4 event. She sees Razor as a sibling, because they were reared by Varka when they were children:
https://youtu.be/ldLATYU3uKg
Important-Squash53972026-01-23 05:56
I hope he is not a side grade to C6 razor considering he is the one who taught him to use a claymore.

Isn't Razor actually better with his premium supports at C6?

"In the name of the Anemo Archon, I bear witness to this pact forged between knight and witch, joined in purpose to protect Mondstadt. May this pact, once sealed, stand unshaken by the thousand winds."
—Attributed to: Barbatos, Knight of Boreas, Hexenzirkel
"In the name of the Anemo Archon, I bear witness... How did that last line go again? 'May this pact, once sealed, stand unshaken by the thousand winds.'"
"That's perfect! I'm writing it down."

"Blacksmith, forge me some swords from your finest iron!"
Sparks fly from the anvil, like scattered starbursts burning across the night sky.
"A few more, my good smith, lest I run short of blades before the journey is through."
How many times must a blade of common iron be tempered before it is fit for a knight on the field of battle?
...
"This wine, let us bury it here, that we may drink it together upon our return!"
The fragrance of fruit lingers outside the winery, clinging to the vines and drifting up toward the heavens.
"Wine aged by victory could surely intoxicate even Barbatos."
How many winters and summers must a simple wine age before the return of an errant knight?
...
"And this is where we part. If I go any further, there'll be no one left to guard the gates of Mondstadt!"
The sound of the wind by the city's walls seems to sing blessings for the departing knights.
"...From here on out, we walk this road ourselves."
How far must a mortal journey to unlock a new chapter of destiny?

You've been vored.

It would be unfortunate considering his hype
Volkaru2026-01-23 05:51
There's rumors of a steam release, and him being given out for free with it. Which will sadly seal his fate. Crazy they'd choose one of the most hyped characters in the game's entire run to kneecap like that, though.

5 years of waiting. And they definitely didnt disappoint. So much speculation from back then if he was gonna be an old man, or another twink from monstadt or bishounen.
As the years go by when itto released people lost hope that varkas gonna be another twinkified pretty boy.
When alhaitham released hope came back in the form of bigger muscles. People were not just wishing he at least had a beard.
And now were here. No beard, but he looks better than ever. The knights are finally complete. Klee has his uncle.
May varka wanters and waiters be varka havers.

Genshin grandpa, here.
I honestly thought he was going to "Your Princess Is In Another Castle" all the way to Snezhnaya and die to the Tsaritsa or something. I'm glad he's chadded out, but I'm still a little disappointed he doesn't look older like Cyrus (Mondstadt edition).

"Potion seller, I need your strongest potions! I'm going into battle!" vibes lol

I don't think the potion seller would be able to help him. His strongest potions would be too weak for Varka.

GrtDrg2026-01-23 06:22
Too weak because Varka’s alcoholism or because nothing is strong enough to make him viable in a fight?
app082026-01-23 06:45
I'm saying he's so strong that the potion seller's potions would have no noticeable effect. It's a subversion of the potion seller script, in which the potion seller tells the hero that his strongest potions would be to strong for him.
Lizardaug2026-01-23 09:10

Sparks fly from the anvil, like scattered starbursts burning across the night sky.

"This wine, let us bury it here, that we may drink it together upon our return!"
The fragrance of fruit lingers outside the winery, clinging to the vines and drifting up toward the heavens.
"Wine aged by victory could surely intoxicate even Barbatos."
How many winters and summers must a simple wine age before the return of an errant knight?
...
"And this is where we part. If I go any further, there'll be no one left to guard the gates of Mondstadt!"
The sound of the wind by the city's walls seems to sing blessings for the departing knights.
"...From here on out, we walk this road ourselves."
How far must a mortal journey to unlock a new chapter of destiny?
as yes, Barbatos, Barbeloth, Barka
You've been vored.
Razor's constellation is **Lupus Minor**
What a nice detail
Need more mouse bite
It would be so hilarious
RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU WAITED FOR THIS FOR 5 YEARS **🙋🙋🙋🙋**
*CLANK *CLANK *CLANK
As the years go by when itto released people lost hope that varkas gonna be another twinkified pretty boy.
When alhaitham released hope came back in the form of bigger muscles. People were not just wishing he at least had a beard.
And now were here. No beard, but he looks better than ever. The knights are finally complete. Klee has his uncle.
May varka wanters and waiters be varka havers.
I honestly thought he was going to "Your Princess Is In Another Castle" all the way to Snezhnaya and die to the Tsaritsa or something. I'm glad he's chadded out, but I'm still a little disappointed he doesn't look older like Cyrus (Mondstadt edition).
“You can’t handle my strongest shields, my shields are too powerful for you.”
"Noooooooo!"
Like who is approving all this inconsistency..
AFTER 5 YEARS!!
MY MAN HAS ARRIVED
…get it?
Fuck.
I need him even more. Finally a man cool enough to pull (that isn't Itto).
The rich get richer 💔
Let's gooooooo!!!
Thankfully, no one heard me.
The Knights of Favonius member I wanted most after Jean…
And yet… I can’t shake this gut feeling his power ceiling will be pitiful… and I hate it.
While I hope that it's just the usual doomposting issue during leaks, what has been heard about him is rather worrying.
