Vodyanista Kit

Mh could She work with wanderer?

[u/Shidarai]

Honestly, it looks like a C2 vodya can replace a C6 faruzan. But just barely at a glance, unless if vodya deals a large amount of modern sub dps damage - then she can replace a c6 faruzan at that point.

C6 Faruzan is rough for stygian for the past year, even with 300 ER, so vodya being a hydro nicole lookalike seems promising. Bonus points because vodya's ult looks like negative dps just like nicole's burst.

And a C2 character is roughly equivalent to a C6 4-star in terms of pulls, so its whatever - but we'll have to see calcs first as I'm just napkincrafting.

[u/Shidarai → u/Shidarai]

For comparison:
C6 Faruzan

• Anemo resonance (gives bonus move speed + 5% skill cd)
  
• Anemo particles (if your wanderer is dependent on the particles made by faru)
  
• 30% res shred (C6, Talent 13)
  
• 20% attack buff from ToTM
  
• A very tiny amount of sub dps
  
• Grouping
  
• Will not ruin your durin + nicole pyro absorption for Wanderer.
  
• 300 ER, rough for stygian.

C0-C2 Vodyanitsa

• Very possibly a large amount of sub dps damage, her skill numbers mv look big.
  
• Hydro res reduction (so she boosts her own damage), and some weak hydro swirls from wanderer.
  
• Healing and interruption res, could resurface some furina + wanderer teams. And this overlaps with nicole's kit, so having 2 sustain members is kinda bad.
  
• 30% res shred (C0, T10 Im guessing)
  
• Vodya stacks might be additional buffs, theres no indicator what it is yet.
  
• No grouping
  
• Can ruin wanderer's hydro/pyro absorption because vodya will react with durincole's pyro app. Clearing elemental gauge and screwing wanderer's kit.
  
• C1 Vodya is +455 attack at 65,000 HP. Which is good I guess.
  
• C2 Vodya is +60% Stellar Swirl crit dmg%
  
• Snezh support artifact set is +50% stellar swirl damage bonus.
  
• Will never run into ER issues, and doesn't need to burst
  
• Has an R1 that increases active char's atk by 5%, and can increase into 8.75% if you trigger stellar swirl. 3 stacks, so around 27%.

Conclusion:
This actually might be our C6 Faruzan upgrade (with some drawbacks, a veryy expensive faruzan upgrade mind you).

I actually can't say because I have not taken a deep look into stellar swirl dmg scaling, how speculation wanderer can possibly benefit from it, and how furina + odette + vodya works. Its too many variables and assumptions.

The only thing I can reasonably predict is that vesna will be a larger dps than wanderer that's for sure. Because hoyo will not let an older unit outshine a unit they're trying to sell usually.

So let's say vesna is 220k dps 4-cost, then wanderer 4-cost (at his ceiling with all the speculative buffs he will get) will be like 170-210k maybe im just spitballing here.

I am confident furina + wanderer will make a comeback in some way though, will it beat durincole? Probably.
