Vivid Notions in Genshin Impact is a 5-star Catalyst and the signature weapon of Varesa. This guide delves into the weapon’s statistics, materials needed for leveling, and the best characters that can efficiently wield it.
Vivid Notions: Stats and Level-Up Materials

Here are the detailed stats and effects of Vivid Notions at level 90 and refinement rank 1:
- Base ATK: 674
- Second Stat: 44.1% CRIT DMG
- Weapon Effect: Increases ATK by 28%. Upon using a Plunging Attack, you gain the “Dawn’s First Hue” effect, boosting Plunging Attack CRIT DMG by 28%. Activating an Elemental Skill or Burst grants the “Twinlight’s Splendor” effect, enhancing Plunging Attack CRIT DMG by 40%. Both effects last for 15 seconds and deactivate 0.1 seconds after hitting a target.
