Varian pets
Varian is 46 pets. Each one you own adds the genus's Owned Effect — Mount Sprint Stamina Cost Reduction Rate +0.3%, Evasion Bonus +2, Constitution +1 at Pet Insight 3; all 46 at the top add Mount Sprint Stamina Cost Reduction Rate +13.8%, Evasion Bonus +92, Constitution +46. All its pets at the top raise Varian Insight to level 7; 2,040 analyses with nothing locked take it on to 10. Its slot 4 can roll Status Effect Chance, Back Attack Damage Boost, Front Attack Damage Boost, Endurance Penetration, Regeneration Penetration, PvE Damage Boost and Varian Damage Boost. 35 of the game's 521 bosses are Varian, so its Varian lines count against them.
