Trivia[]
- Varkyn is Takahiro Inoue (CotC Co-Producer)'s favorite champion. When Inoue attempted the Varkyn Cup, it was so difficult that he was at an absolute loss, but through a lot of trial and error, he finally managed to win and play through Varkyn's traveler story. Varkyn's confident and generous spirit left a strong impression, combined with his intensity in the area, to make him a highly memorable traveler.[1]
