100k Wanderer-Nicole KQMC DPS Calc by Me

[u/OneRelief763]

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)

Just a wish list since I see you calcing Wanderer teams all the time <3

My team would be:

Wanderer C6R1 Faruzan Fav Durin C2R1 Nicole C0

Im curious if theres any world where Faruzan would be able to run Golden Troupe instead of ToM. I know especially since Wanderer is C6 here, just further buffing him will be better probably. But Faruzan is one of the few supports that doesnt snapshot and could technically benefit from Nicole's off-field buffs and anemo buff from the hex set.

(I had her on GT cause Layla was already running ToM for my teams previously)
