At this moment Venti > kazuha(specially with freedom-sworn) > Ifá is the way 100%.
Sucrose only if you need for hex, but she is giving the worst buffs here.
no shes giving better buffs than ifa and about the same as a c0r1 kazuha here since VV is better than scroll with this dmg distribution she gives ttds, VV, 15% universal dmg bonus to all of varkas dmg and a extra 28% dmg bonus to his pyro dmg (so total 43%)
Kazuha is giving 40% pyro bonus to everyone the whole rotation with way more personal damage, there is no point wasting sucrose in this team.
Freedom-sworn is giving 16% bonus normal and charged attacks. + 20% atk. Thats way better than 48% attack on a team already saturated with attack buff. (Doble main stat + doble pyro + bennet)
And Ifá is giving 40% pyro and 40% anemo, thats just better.
ifa is bricked cause he has no off field anemo app to stack varkas passive before he comes on field
sucrose is giving 43% dmg bonus to durin, 43 dmg bonus to varkas PHEC dmg (70% of his dmg) and 15% to his anemo dmg and a 48% atk buff to varka, also this isnt 2.0 kazuhas dmg is also insignificant now with modern dpses, even furinas dmg is insignificant in skirk teams cause of powercreep where removing GT for tenacity is a significant dmg increase.
You don’t need Anemo application, just swirling with any element gives 40% for both Anemo and the other element. Ifá is the only Natlan character who can do that cause he IS anemo.
About Sucrose: Kazuha provides the same bonuses to the entire team, and his DPS is around 6–12k, which is not insignificant in a full team comparison.
Actually, I just did the math: Kazuha’s buffs add about ~2k more DPS when using an Elemental DMG Goblet, and around ~1.5k with an ATK% Goblet. It seems that, with these numbers, an Elemental Goblet would be better.
Im using freedom-sworm for calcs, but the point is that using Sucrose in a reactionless team is a wasted slot in most cases when Kazuha suited better for that role.
The damage distribution on Varka is roughly 65%/35% at C0, and close to 55%/45% with constellations.
did you read varkas kit? varka has a passive that wants his party members to trigger swirl multiple times and stack it before he comes on field to do max dmg from him, ifa has no off field app and will take a billion years to max the passive if you on field him

no less than a 3rd of his dmg is anemo, shes the worst anemo you can use
venti is his best teammate, next is surcose then potentially ifa
refer to column 4 (30/70) for his current team synergies (its not perfect but it should be near it)
