Recent Genshin Impact 6.4 leaks have shed new light on the weapons associated with Varka, the highly anticipated playable character slated for Version 6.4. While early datamines and beta leaks clearly identified Varka as an Anemo claymore user, additional teasers and internal files suggest that his combat style involves more complexity than a single weapon type. Most notably, the leaks confirm that Varka’s second sword is indeed a true sword, not a claymore disguised as one, a detail that has been clarified following speculation based on various showcase videos and leak commentary.
The most widely referenced weapon tied to Varka is his signature claymore, Ballad of the Mighty Wolf. This 5-star claymore has been datamined and discussed extensively in community leak reports. Its effects center around increasing attack speed, stacking damage buffs on Normal Attack hits, and synergizing well with party based elemental conditions, reinforcing Varka’s identity as a sustained damage main DPS user. Leaked stats show that the weapon boasts a high base ATK and focus on Crit Rate, which underscores its role in buffing Varka’s damage output when built optimally.
However, the leaks also point toward the existence of another weapon associated with Varka’s style that differs fundamentally from his primary claymore. This secondary weapon has been described in community discussions and some early previews as a sword, indicating that Varka’s combat kit might incorporate a dual weapon mechanic or context specific weapon transition during his abilities. The sword revelation contradicts the notion that both of his weapons are claymores, emphasizing that the second weapon is a sword rather than a claymore variant. While this sword does not yet have an officially datamined name or full stat sheet available in the current beta data, the classification as a sword has appeared consistently in leak conversations and previews.
The presence of multiple weapons connected to Varka aligns with earlier speculation from parts of the leaks community that he might utilize a dual weapon style, potentially switching between a claymore and sword as part of his skill set or burst mechanics. These theories gained traction after players noticed inconsistent behavior in showcase clips, where Varka’s charged animation looked more akin to a sword slash rather than a typical claymore heavy attack. The confirmation from leaks that his second weapon is a true sword strengthens the theory that his kit may feature an interplay between the two weapon types, possibly tied to his unique Elemental Skill or Burst.
Community reaction to these weapon leaks has been intense and speculative. Many players believe that a dual weapon mechanic would set Varka apart from standard claymore users by allowing him to fluidly adapt his combat style based on team composition, elemental conditions, or critical effects mid-engagement. Some theorists suggest that the sword might be summoned or briefly equipped as part of a special stance, ability state, or signature animation sequence, rather than existing as a permanent second weapon slot.
It is crucial to note that all information regarding Varka’s weapons originates from unofficial leaks and beta datamined files. Neither HoYoverse nor official patch notes have confirmed details about his secondary sword weapon, and leaks can change or evolve prior to the patch’s final release. However, the consistency of sword references across community commentary and early previews lends credibility to the claim that Varka’s combat will incorporate both claymore and sword elements, giving him a unique edge over other characters confined to one weapon type.
If these leaks are accurate, Varka will debut not just as an Anemo claymore user, but as a versatile warrior with access to an actual sword, potentially opening up new animation styles and combat flows unseen in previous Genshin Impact characters. Players eagerly following the Version 6.4 beta will likely see additional confirmation of how these weapons integrate into his kit as the patch nears its official rollout.
