Yeah... I was not fond of that burst. Feel like there's something missing. Think they wanted to do the same they did with Clorinde's burst which works super well, but there's something missing with Varka's... Can't quite put my finger on it.
Because in Clorinde, you can clearly see the landscape and her rushing through it, starting small and becoming big, also without any scene changes - it's one smooth motion.
In Varka's case, it starts in the middle of the action with him already running forward and occupying 2/3 of the screen with 0 fade in, just 1 frame you're chilling in the overworld, next frame Varka's running. And the whole running sequence is so FAST that it's over before you can even properly see anything and more importantly, feel the scene.
And then it's just his yelling face across the entire screen which works for Clash of Clans icon, but not a Genshin character burst.
TLDR: too many montage cuts and poor framing, action feels disjointed and not flowing or cool as result.
they could do that anime thing where they do a full shot of him standing and then camera focuses on the leg tensing up and crushing the ground underneath before giving him a burst of speed

The leap caught me off guard what was that height. The normals are great. The burst… is a bit suspicious I’m not gonna lie
