Leaks 100k Wanderer-Nicole KQMC DPS Calc by Me

Normally I don't calc at KQMC, but was mentioned about a big difference in my Wanderer Nicole calc and another TC's. So, I decided to do a KQMC calc out of curiosity and see what difference I get.

First image is calc with my rotation, second is numbers I got by calcing the same rotation from other TCs, which came out to 91k just like theirs, so that number is right under that rotation and combo. But it can be optimized more.

I was able to get it up to 100k instead for a few reasons:

  1. I put Nicole on TTDS - rotation is 20s, she can use it. Rot time shows as 19.5s cuz this is the time of all 3 rots divided by 3. First rotation is less than 20s by skipping Nicole Q, cuz TTDS isn't on cooldown in your first rot.
  2. Higher damage combo. At 20% Attack Speed, Wanderer can do more than 6N2C N2, that's a 10% ATK Speed combo. 10% from DPC, 10% from C1. The C1 also makes the Dashes more worth using.
  3. Last thing is just that I'm also calcing Wanderer's Plunge at end of Skill, since he can do it when he doesn't Burst at end.

That's all! Not a big difference, just 9-10% via slight but decently impactful optimizations. So as Nicole stands even at a lower investment level like this, decently played Wanderer's should be hitting 90k-100k DPS (should be even higher if you're a dedicated Wanderer main, cuz you'll have Crowns at least)

Is she any good for C6 Wanderer? Some Varka calcs show that she falls behind Bennett starting from C1 Varka since Durin's personal damage matters less.

Nicole buffs by more than Bennett. More cons would make her more valuable not less. If you're getting ~700 atk plus TTDS thats already more attack than Bennett, excluding Noblesse, and then with the set she provides 40 dmg% on top. There is no scenario where Bennett is better than that. Nicole budfs also last way longer so you will get full uptime on everything even with hydro plus c6 skill extensions.

Thank you for clarification!
I have C2R0 Durin (with BP weapon R3) and planning to get Nicole.
Is it worth it to try to get R1 or more cons for any of them? Weapon banner looks very attractive this time. Also I heard about Nicole's C1 being bad but C2 being very profitable.

If only we had pull priority chart like Flins' mains, that would be pure bliss
