[[File:Varyana | [[File:Varyana-full-body.png|alt=Varyana Mercenary|right|frameless|200xpx]] | ||
'''Varyana''' is a [[Mercenary]] for hire and | '''Varyana''' is a melee [[Mercenary]] who thrives in the thick of combat. A former cannibal who abandoned her tribe when they began consorting with darker forces, she rebuilt her life as a butcher, and later as a Mercenary for hire. Varyana fights with brutal efficiency, feeding off the pace of battle and growing stronger the longer the blood flows. | ||
She becomes available once you complete her acquisition quest, '''Slayer’s Reputation''', which appears the first time you visit the Den during the '''Thrust into the Dark''' quest. | |||
== What Varyana Does Well == | |||
Varyana is built for aggressive melee engagements. Her kit revolves around maintaining momentum and powering up through sustained fighting. | |||
Her strengths include: | |||
* Keeping close to enemies and cutting through packs with sweeping melee strikes. | |||
* Gaining strength from continuous kills via her [[Massacre]] mechanic. | |||
* Pulling enemies in with certain skill choices, grouping them tightly for fast dispatch. | |||
* Applying utility bonuses, depending on your chosen branch of her skill tree. | |||
Once she builds pace, Varyana can feel relentless so is ideal for players who enjoy a fast, forward-moving rhythm. She's less defensive than [[Raheir]] and more direct than [[Subo]]. Her value comes from driving fights forward, not holding them in place. | |||
[[ | |||
== Unlocking Varyana == | |||
* Complete the quest '''Slayer’s Reputation''' in the Den in Nahantu <small>([https://www.purediablo.com/diablo4/map/?markerId=marker_1728070768324 Map)]</small>. | |||
* This quest becomes available when you first arrive during '''Thrust into the Dark'''. | |||
* After completing it you can hire her as a Primary Mercenary or set her as a Reinforcement. | |||
As with all [[Mercenaries]], once hired she becomes available account-wide on that realm. | |||

== Varyana’s Skills == | |||
Varyana's skill tree is built around speed, aggression, and the growth of her '''[[Massacre]]''' meter. Her abilities fall into three broad themes: | |||
'''Berserker Momentum''' | |||
* Skills that reward continuous fighting and rapid kills. | |||
* Increased damage scaling tied to her killstreak. | |||
'''Group Control''' | |||
* Options that pull enemies toward her, letting her dispatch tightly packed groups. | |||
* Brief disrupts that help maintain control during large engagements. | |||
'''Utility and Sustain''' | |||
* Minor self-sustain tools. | |||
* Supportive bonuses depending on your chosen branch. | |||
Her skill tree allows you to lean into either wider crowd pressure or heavier single-target aggression. You can respec at any time from the Mercenary menu. | |||
