In this era dominated by electronic screens, the name Varesha seems to be just one of many virtual characters. But if you savor it carefully, it is not difficult to find that she hides the fate of contemporary youth who are wrapped up in power and anxiety. Varesha’s skill design and constellation mechanism reveal a seemingly bright and beautiful but actually surging contradictory psychology: the acquisition of power is often accompanied by the loss of self-consciousness and the dilemma of identity.
Her three ordinary attacks of “wrestling” actually expose a soul that is constantly driven to prove its existence. In this noisy era, people are forced to use fierce actions and constant attacks to cover up their inner powerlessness. Ordinary attacks are not simple combat actions, they are a counterattack against social pressure, an externalization of inner anxiety, and a tightening and struggle of identity. Varesha’s thunder element damage, like the invisible violence in society, constantly impacts her fragile self.
The setting of “Night Soul Value” seems to be a metaphor for people’s mental state: limited and consumable energy needs to be managed carefully. Once the Night Soul Value is exhausted, Varesa falls into an unsustainable state, symbolizing the exhausted mental state and continuous anxiety cycle of modern people. She enters the “fiery passion” state, like a short-term mental excitement and emotional climax, but after the climax, there is often a deeper emptiness and fatigue. This design reveals the inevitable mental overdraft and inner imbalance of contemporary young people in the pursuit of self-worth.
Varesa’s elemental combat skill “Night Rainbow Leap”, the lightning-fast pace, isn’t it a metaphor for the current fast-paced life? Her rapid advance when tapping is like our hurried walk in a busy life; the long-pressed “sudden and fierce advance” is a compromise forced to adapt to and accept environmental oppression. Her improved ability to resist interruption is like modern people under pressure, who have to put on a strong mask to cover up their true fragility. What’s even more ridiculous is that she can move on liquid phlogiston without getting hurt. This “immunity” can’t help but remind people of the numbness and insensitivity of people in reality when facing environmental pollution and mental pollution.
As for her elemental burst “Flash Fierce Coming!”, the seemingly gorgeous leap and powerful flying kick are nothing more than a self-comforting performance. She restores the Night Soul value to the upper limit and enters “Fiery Passion”, as if a person uses short-term excitement and passion to cover up the emptiness in his heart when facing anxiety and loneliness. Her “Extreme Drive” state can ignore the cooling time, reflecting the crazy pursuit of efficiency by contemporary people, but often ignoring the extreme endurance of the mind and body.
Varesa’s inherent talents and fate, the progressive strengthening layer by layer, show a character image that is increasingly oppressed by pressure and expectations. Her “Rainbow Fall” damage is increased, with a strong tendency to violence, which is a helpless reflection of the use of violence to solve problems in reality. The increase in her attack power of “Hero, Returning for the Second Time” seems to mock the endless cycle of repeated failures – the alternation of success and failure is like a reincarnation without end.
The enhancement of the skills of the constellation of fate exposes the tragedy of endless self-enhancement, which may also lead to self-alienation. Behind these seemingly positive changes, such as increased attack power, elemental energy recovery, and enhanced anti-interruption ability, is the helplessness of Varesha being constantly driven by battle. Her existence gradually becomes mechanical and even loses her humanity. Her “triumph of the hero of justice”, the significant increase in critical hit rate and critical hit damage, seems to be the fanatical pursuit of violence and power in modern society, but ignores the struggle and brokenness of humanity behind it.
Varesha’s story is a metaphor full of symbolic meaning. She is not a simple game character, but a mirror reflecting reality. What we see is a soul that is gradually stripped of its true self under pressure and expectations, and the cruel process of young people being shaped into “warriors” in anxiety and confusion. Her thunder and flames are a desire for power and a silent accusation of being lost.
In this seemingly glamorous virtual world, the thunder and fire of Varesha tell us that power is not only a dazzling halo, but also a heavy burden. Her loneliness and passion are very similar to those young people in reality who are forced to fight constantly. The power that erupts in anxiety and the will that is coerced by society are the truths that we don’t want to face but have to face.
Varesha is not a hero, she is a microcosm of our times, a symbol caught between virtuality and reality. Her battle is a question of identity, a struggle for freedom, and a confusion about the future. Facing such Varesha, should we also reflect: In the process of pursuing power and efficiency, have we lost something more important?
Varesha’s thunder and flames are not only weapons to strike the enemy, but also the echo of the times, calling us to think, to awaken, and to find the forgotten true self.
