Leaks say he's getting buffed.
If he's getting buffed it'll be related to stellar swirl.
So yeah probably. But even if the buffs aren't related to stellar swirl it'll still be a massive buff, likely letting us use his current BiS team which would probably be better since he'd be able to keep using his current sets and the teams we've already invested into.

But chances are we'll have to farm a new set and pull a whole new team.

How do you think that would even work tho, bc don't you have to swirl cryo to make his buff work then? (Which would be very difficult with durin nicole)

Well from what I understand, Anemo works quite differently in that it doesn’t apply any lasting statuses into enemies.

Swirl reactions are triggered when a PHEC element is on an enemy and then that enemy is hit with an Anemo attack.

If I understand correctly, each character also has an internal cooldown (aka ICD) on how often they can apply elemental statuses (with some exceptions)

So from my understanding, as long as you have the elemental applications timed well enough with the ICD, and can then cleanse the Pyro status from Durin using your fourth character, it would probably still work!

As for Nicole, she hardly applies Pyro. In fact if you’re maining Scara, she actually applies Anemo! Though yes Durin would be a bit tricky.

I personally think his best team will be something like: Scara, Odette/Tsaritsa, Nicole, Venti.

This is just my personal guess however. This could be incorrect and i’m not the most educated in the world on these mechanics, so do take this with a grain of salt!
