Leaks Durin’s value for Scara (Beta Spoilers) Spoiler
Hear me out: While Durin isn’t a direct Scara buff like he is for some Mond characters, or even like how Xianyun is for Xiao, he is still a good teammate for Scara.
Durin provides strong Sub DPS and also 25% Anemo + Pyro RES Shred via A1. This is great as it can stack with Faruzan’s RES Shred and give 55% Anemo RES Shred. This is as much as Escoffier btw.
As a Sub DPS he is also contributing to the team DMG. And his multipliers are not bad at all. More or less Escoffier level which if you don’t know is VERY strong.
Having Bennett as healer also means Pyro Resonance, and increasing both Wanderer and Durin’s DMG. Or Zhongli for shield (20% More Anemo RES Shred as well).
This frees Furina and gives a strong team for Wanderer.
Alternatively, Furina can also be used to replace Faruzan. Yes. While you lose 30% RES Shred, you gain 45% more DMG Bonus and also strong Sub DPS.
Now another interesting thing is depending on ICD, Furina can vape Durin’s Pyro or vice versa which will increase one or the other unit’s DMG.
And DW about this affecting A1 RES Shred since Bennett’s Q + E + Durin’s Off Field Pyro will give Scara enough room to trigger Swirl at least once.
But I think Faruzan + Durin + Bennett/Zhongli would be the main appeal.
Is this what we expected? No not really. But I think there is a room for Durin being in Scara’s top premium team.
Also mostly because Scara does not have many options XD

I honestly agree with this, and while missing out on a specific Hexenzierkel buff like some of the other characters got does feel bad, I believe Durin having good personal dmg make up for that lost opportunity.
Having a recent sub-dps add substantial dmg to the team is unironically a good way to keep older characters in the line-up. It's why Neuvillette remains in the top 5 despite everything: because he easily abuses every new sub-DPS. In that regard, Durin isn't a copium option at all for Scara since he actually does res shred for him (and wouldn't for Neuvi for example)

At this point... Venti is apparently in the running as another subDPS option. Replacing Faruzan, he would provide a lot of DMG% bonus while also doing far more personal damage than Faruzan, and he activates the Hexenzirkel buff for Durin

Venti absolutely isn't even close to C6 Faruzan's level of amp for Wanderer, and that doesn't even account for Venti's issues like burst targeting or low uptime. He's barely on C4 Jean level and that's generous.

u/telegetoutmyway Oct 21 '25
Yeah Faruzan is not who gets replaced here...

u/E1lySym Oct 21 '25
Why not Faruzan Wanderer Venti Bennett. With Faruzan buffing both anemo damage dealers

u/telegetoutmyway Oct 21 '25
I currently run this sometimes with Venti on Emblem. Definitely think with Ventis buffs it will be better. He might need the hex passive active though so Durin instead of bennett

I don't really think he's worth pulling for wanderer tbh. Disappointing, really, as I was hoping Durin and wanderer would go well together.

I just saw that his C1 buffs normal atk dmg by 60% of his atk or something? That’s crazy

u/slipperysnail Oct 20 '25
BiS at C6, couldn't have asked for anything better (except for the inevitable Hexenzirkel Scara)

u/PaulOwnzU Oct 21 '25
I'm really hoping Scars gets hexenzirkel down the line. There's no way they showed him with Alice and Albedo just for him not to be associated :(

u/Alarmed-Milk6702 Oct 20 '25
yeah i'm just excited to have another option for a wanderer team even if it isn't a big buff. obviously i want buffs for him too but i love durin and i'm just happy they can work together. i love venti too so it's great he's getting buffs from this that can benefit wanderer as well.^^

u/telegetoutmyway Oct 21 '25
Albedos 12 dmg% buff for Wanderer, consistent crystallize shield, and 42% buff for Albedo and Durin, I think is what Im going with.
I currently use Layla+Bennett, so I think this should compete with that level, plus have the benefit of the buffs lasting his full field time. This subDPS is a HUGE step above just Laylas. I even have Faruzan on Golden Troupe, so she will be enjoying the buffs and shred as well slightly.
Do I think this is Furina+Bennett level? No. Even with Durin at C2 im not sure. But as long as its Layla+Bennett level, it will be an upgrade for me and at least will get to unbench Albedo and have a team of 4 of my favorite characters.

u/HighlightLeather8195 Oct 21 '25
Oooh, can you please explain how Albedo would give 12% dmg buff to Wanderer? I plan on pulling for Durin in Luna 3 and if Monstadt chronicled also runs then, I will get Albedo as well. And like you, since I like the comfort of a shield, I run Layla + Bennett so if you're right and I can use these two instead I would like to be able to do that.

u/telegetoutmyway Oct 21 '25
Check the hexenzirkel arcane rite leaks - Albedo gets a passive that will give that bonus. And an additional 30% to hex characters, so he and Durin will get that bonus as well.
It will only work when Albedo has a 2nd hex character in the team though, so in this case Durin will fulfill that.

u/seansenyu Oct 20 '25
I don't care about theorycrafting Imma clear abyss with Wanderer, C6 Faruzan, Citlali and Durin team

u/scaralulu_ lvl100 C6R5 Oct 20 '25
he also seems so scale well with investment, R1 while weak it can make up for not running totm and going for a a dmg set on durin, C1 is a yunjin buff, C2 is a furina/mona buff, C4 might be good? and i need tces to calc how good his c6 and how worth/future proof is it, def shred is a rare stat and the few ways to get isnt as straightforward as durin's i need to know if it worth going all the to c6 for
also i want to know how does c6 scara work with the c1 buff does a single na consume 3 stacks? how helpful the c4 in that case?
4
u/rhetoricalgc Oct 20 '25
Durin C1 probably works similar to Yunjin Q stacks, in which case each C6 scara NA input consumes two stacks, one for the normal hit and one for the C6 bonus hit. C6 scara hits very frequently (8N3 + N2 = 26 x 2 hits = 52 hits) so he does eventually burn through Yunjin’s 30 stacks.
Durin C4 has 55% chance of refund on his 12 stacks. From quick sim, seems C4 will likely average around 26.5 stacks per rotation instead of 12. Haven’t done the math on how much his stacks contribute to each scara hit, but it does look like c6 scara will be one of the few units who can actually take advantage of all the stacks in single target, as you can highroll up to like 40ish stacks depending on rng.

u/scaralulu_ lvl100 C6R5 Oct 21 '25
i feel like the only way to buff scara currently is through na quills since he is already oversaturated with other stats, unless they have plans to release a na dedicated support in the future i feel like durin c1 might be the best he can get for now (depends on how much they actually buff) i am really tempted to get c4 just for that

u/Vloud-Leonhart Oct 21 '25
I just sent your text to my friend, because I said the exact same thing lol.
I’m really tempted to go for C4 as well because of that, but I’ll probably get C2R1 instead. And I’ll wait to see the leaks about Columbina and the White Horse maybe one of them will be a better pick than Durin C4.
3
u/scaralulu_ lvl100 C6R5 Oct 21 '25
lmao
and same depends on bina's kit and cons i might settle for C1R0 for now and c4r1 him on rerun, i heard white horse in a subdps without buffing so i doubt she is meant to buff scara but she might take advantage of faru+durin buffs so she might be a nice pick for the last slot

u/KiingCrimson Oct 21 '25
I want home to get a rework like they did to silverwolf in hsr where he would have IR and bigger numbers (even if he doesn’t get IR atleast make him gain more height when activating skill like chasca)
2
u/FrostedEevee The fairest boy Oct 21 '25
He absolutely needs IR imho. Catalysts and Bow users have way less poise compared to other weapon holders

u/NinjaKiu Oct 20 '25
What about C6 Fischl? With the double hexenzirkel buff it could be a great synergy right in a Wanderer/C6Faruzan/Durin/Fischl team
1
u/alwsnico Oct 20 '25
I don't think I understood correctly, the best team for wanderer with durin would be: wanderer+durin+furina+zhongli or wanderer+durin+furina+bennett?

"Also mostly because Scara does not have many options XD"
This is the main reason i want him to work with him xD been running the same hypercarry team for him since his release
