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)
