General Introduction
Vesna is a 5-Star character of the Anemo element that wields a sword as her main weapon. She specializes in dealing constant Anemo and Stellar Swirl damage to enemies while being supported by other members in the team, making her into a very powerful Stellar Swirl DPS character.
Skill Analysis & Leveling Priority
| Basic Attack: Performs up to 6 rapid strikes. Charge Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to leap into the air, then launches a swift trample-kick to the opponent in front. Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. |
| Leveling Priority: High |
| Reason: A decent amount of Vesna’s damage output comes from her infused normal atttacks, so players should level this up to maximize her damage output. |
| Elemental Skill: Vesna raises her weapon up high, awakening the power of the spirit blade and dealing AoE Anemo DMG around her. Then, she enters the Spirit Blade state and gains two orbs of Spirit Blade Force. Spirit Blade DMG dealt by Vesna with her Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks are all converted to Anemo DMG. This DMG cannot be overridden by another elemental infusion. She also summons the Spirit Feather against the opponent, dealing Anemo DMG. Vesna regenerates Spirit Blade Force each time she summons the Spirit Feather. Vesna can consume Spirit Blade Force to unleash a special Elemental Skill where both she and the spirit blade deal Anemo DMG to the opponent at the same time, and each time she unleashes this special Elemental Skill in the same instance of Spirit Blade, its level increases from first Spirit Blade Pierce to Spirit Blade Plunge, and then finally to Spirit Blade Dance.Being in the Spirit Blade state increases Vesna’s Interruption RES, and when she exits the state, all Spirit Blade Force accumulated is cleared.Radiance: Stellar Swirl: Spirit blades turn into Stellar spirit blades instead, which deal to the opponent Anemo DMG that is considered Stellar Swirl reaction DMG. Spirit Blade Dance may be unleashed up to 3 times each time the Spirit Blade state is activated, and Vesna immediately exits the state upon the third use. |
| Leveling Priority: Highest |
| Reason: Vesna’s main damaging ability, players need to level this to the highest level as soon as possible. |
| Ultimate: Vesna summons multiple spirit blades for a spectacular Spirit Blade Burst in front of her. This deals to the opponent AoE Anemo DMG as well as regenerates for her one orb of Spirit Blade Force. Radiance: Stellar Swirl: The spirit blades become Stellar spirit blades that deal to the opponent Anemo DMG considered as Stellar Swirl reaction DMG instead. |

The maximum increase that can be gained this way is 14%.After a nearby party member triggers a Stellar Swirl reaction, Vesna enters the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state for 8s. |

Playstyle Guide & Rotation
Vesna’s skill kit focuses around her ability to enter her special Spirit Blade state to deal massive amounts of Anemo damage to enemies with her special 3-stages Elemental Skills and gaining special benefits whenever she triggers the Stellar Swirl Elemental Reaction.
Vesna’s main skill is her Elemental Skill, which allows her to deal an instance of Anemo damage to enemies and help her enters the Spirit Blade State. While in this state, all of Vesna’s normal and charge attacks will be infused with Anemo and she will also summon a Spirit Blade to aid her in battle, generating 2 Spirit Blade Force when activating. By consuming Spirit Blade Force, Vesna will be able to launch a powerful enhanced Elemental Skill alongside the Spirit Blade against the enemies, dealing powerful damage to them. If she continues to consume Spirit Blade Force, she will enter the second stage of the enhanced Elemental Skill and deal even more damage. This can be continued to the Enhanced Elemental Skill’s 3rd stage attack by consuming a 3rd Spirit Blade Force before she exits the Spirit Blade State.
Vesna can perform a maximum of 3 stages of Enhanced Elemental Skill before she is forced to end her Spirit Blade State by consuming a total of 3 Spirit Blade Force. 2 Spirit Blade Force will be granted to her when she activates her Elemental Skill, while the 3rd Spirit Blade Force is granted when she uses her Elemental Burst, dealing massive amounts of Anemo damage to enemies and granting her 1 stack of Spirit Blade Force.
Whenever an ally trigger a Cryo Swirl, if Vesna is in the team, she will convert it into a Stellar Swirl Elemental Reaction and enter the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state, allowing her abilities to gain additional Stellar related effects that change her damage from Anemo to Stellar Swirl damage.

Vesna Best Main Stats & Sub Stats
As a Main DPS character for the Stellar Swirl Team, she wants stats like Critical Stats and Elemental Mastery to boost her Stellar Swirl damage output as high as possible.
| Artifact | Main Stats |

| 1st | Critical Rate% |
| 2nd | Critical Damage% |
| 3rd | Attack% |
| 4th | Elemental Mastery |
Important Stat Threshold:
– As per usual for any Critical-based DPS characters, players should focus on increasing Vesna’s Critical Stats to as high as possible with a 1:2 Ratio of Critical Rate: Critical Damage in mind.
– Players should use a Attack% Goblet Cup instead of an Anemo Damage one since Vesna’s Stellar Swirl damage scales off more of her attack stat than her Anemo Damage, so using an Attack% Goblet is more optimized overall.
