Backliner & Crowd-Controller |
Strategy/Usage[]
Vars is a reliable backliner in general. His anti-Black ability is also a nice addition. Despite Bombercat doing the job much better, Vars' range advantage allows him to hit Black enemies that have few knockbacks and/or high range, as in the case with Le'noir, Razorback and Casaurian Darkjo, impeding them with his knockback ability if it does activate. His slow ability is universally useful, as his DPS, while decent, tends not to kill aggressive Black pushers easily. Though he does require proper support and therefore won't work alone, Vars does make the job much easier for your specialists like Pizza.
True Form[]
God-Emperor Vars gains increased health, damage and range. The stat boosts simply improve his general uses and while the minor range bonus may seem insignificant, Vars can now outrange certain backliners like Master A. and THE SLOTH (451/450 < 460), making him useful against them if you lack options.
Talents[]
Vars' Relic target talent and Curse Immunity are surprisingly useful, given many Relics have similarly long range and can be difficult to ward off with brute force alone due to their very high stats. His 460 range makes him useful against pushers like Relic Bun-Bun, M. Ost and backliners like Othom, as he can stay out of their range and consistently hinder their advance.
On the other hand, Vars' remaining talents are not as useful. Although Vars does have decent stats, Catseyes are better at boosting them, and his knockback ability's 50% chance is already sufficient for what he does.

Trivia[]
- In Nyanko Ecology Report Special Edition, it was revealed that Vars's name is a reference to "Balus", the spell of destruction in the Studio Ghibli movie Castle in the Sky, itself derived from the Turkish word barış (meaning "peace"). The reference is much more obvious in Japanese, in which both Vars and Balus are written as バルス (Barusu).
- His choice of weapon may be a reference to the wyvern-riding Dragoons in Final Fantasy, who fight using spears and lances. In BCJP, Vars's name also includes the Japanese name of the Dragoon class, "Dragon Knight" (竜騎士).
- Dragon King Vars's mount closely resembles a Diablos from the Monster Hunter series, while Nightmare King Vars's could be inspired by the Black Diablos subspecies.
- Unlike other units in his respective set, Vars is not a dragon - rather, Vars is the knight saddling on an unnamed dragon and attacks in place of it.
