HoYoverse has just released the character Teaser for Varesa: The Legend of a Warrior, and itās packed with action, lore, and a touch of the unexpected.
The Legend Behind the Mask
Varesa, a warrior with unparalleled strength, dons a mask that once belonged to Feitena. Feitena was a disciple of Wanjiru, a figure who lived in the shadows of greatnessāwithout a Vision, a grand title, or legendary feats. However, Feitena’s moment came during the chaotic power struggles that followed the Pyro Archonās departure 500 years ago.
As warring tribes vied for control, Feitena shattered a blade upon the Council Chamber table, a moment so forceful that the table broke into thousands of pieces, resembling sparks. This act reminded the chiefs of their duty, ultimately reuniting the tribes and preserving their nationās legacy. Feitena later joined the battle against the Abyss, fighting alongside other heroes until time caught up with her. Before passing, she entrusted her mask to Taika, Bonaās father (from the Cinder City world quest), cementing the maskās significance in history.
A Teaser That Feels Like a Comic Book
Fans have been quick to praise the teaserās unique animation style. Unlike Mizukiās dreamlike sequence, Varesaās teaser is dynamic and action-packed, reminiscent of a high-energy comic book fight scene. This shift in style perfectly matches her luchador-inspired persona, making her stand out as a powerful, unbothered queen.
Canon Eating During Battle?!
One of the most amusing takeaways from the teaser is the revelation that eating mid-battle is now canon. At one point, Varesa is seen chowing down on Blazed Meat Stew and Volcano Cakes while fighting, reinforcing the long-standing in-game mechanic where food buffs enhance combat. Yes, that means every time you spam Sweet Madame during a boss fight, youāre just following Genshin lore!
