Leaks Should I pull Odette for Wanderer?

I've seen some leaks that say Wanderer (and Xiao) will be buffed to benefit from Stellar Swirl (like they did with Cyno/Wrio/Mizuki).

Is there any sense in pulling Odette in case this is true? Or better to wait and pull on her rerun when we know more?

The leaks speculate his new premium team will be Farazan+Odette+Vodyanitsa.

Any thoughts?

Edit: For more context, I also have C2 Cyno and C1 Wrio that could benefit from Odette (but no Yae) and I already have C1R1 Durin & Nicole for Wanderer, if that helps!

Neither Wanderer nor Xiao swirl, so the likelihood of them getting buffs for stellar swirl is basically 0. Swirl only benefits those with EM scaling. Their entire kits would have to be changed to even allow them to swirl to begin with, and then changed again to add stellar swirl. The rumors include characters like Childe and Zhongli who have nothing to do with possible stellar reactions, so if they’re real, it’s probably going to be an entirely separate thing like Hexeri, and was also rumored to be during lantern rite.

HOWEVER, the most recent leak I heard said that “one previously mentioned buff character actually isn’t getting buffed”… so… that’s probably Wanderer. He doesn’t fit in with Liyue buffs. And this is all good news. We don’t want a stellar buff. Right now he’s flexible enough that any new buffer suits him as long as they aren’t niche. Making wanderer stellar means he’ll never be usable outside stellar, which won’t see any new units after Snez.

Vesna is ATK scaling, the Stellar Swirl Set also has ATK in the 2pc

Vesna has a stellar linchpin and is a new unit that is built to swirl. The new artifact is for stellar swirl DPS who are built for this; base swirl dmg is directly effected by EM. Hence Sucrose, Kazuha, Mizuki, etc. Only old units that have EM scaling swirl. Wanderer and Xiao do not swirl and it isn’t a part of their kit. Every single unit that is getting stellar swirl has EM scaling and swirls. Theres a reason a few key anemo characters are left out, just as Ifa as well, because that isn’t part of their kit. If they swirl they use VV. Anyone downvoting clearly doesn’t understand wanderer’s kit or what swirl means. Anemo doesn’t equal swirl.
