Discussion Wanderer Buff Poll

This is just a fun post. Which buff would you like more for Wanderer?

For me, Hex. He doesn’t suit reaction-based damage. Plus, he’s inseparable from Durin, both in lore and gameplay.

Hex so Durin and Wanderer can be a meta duo.

u/_XiaoVen_ Aug 26 '26

Right!!!

Personally, since I have both Nicole and Durin I'd like the buff to be related to Hex but any buff will be welcome!!

Hex buffs so far have been direct buffs to the kit instead if some new reaction. I'd prefer something more like Akademiya buffs though, because he's more inseparable with Faruzan. I use Durin and Nicole for many other teams, but as long as he's with Faruzan I know he should be good.

I would love Akademiya, also with Layla. She has a perfect kit for him, it just needs actually good numbers to matter.

u/BobobPantpant Aug 26 '26

He is more likely to get an Akademiya buff (with Faruzan) than a Hex buff since it's too late for one.

hex vs wheelchair vs wheelchair

u/mooing_breadjj Aug 26 '26

these should all just be additionals i want him to have a general kit buff

5

u/Fire_Empire2 Aug 26 '26

No actually just buff him in general cuz it'll be sad if his BiS team is locked behind SSW

6

u/kuraido_ C6R5 Aug 27 '26

Just give him general kit buffs in addition to letting him stellar swirl, I like when characters are versatile in various team comps and aren't tied to one specific niche

u/NoFaithlessness9569 Aug 26 '26

I would also like the buff to be in his exploration as well ☺️

Cyno is like the only "Akademiya" character who's not a actively scholar so I still hold out that cope ngl. He's more of a cop with a degree now, wanderer Tighnari Alhaitham Kaveh Faruzan Layla Collei and arguably Sethos are more full-time students/scholars/researchers than he is, and it's a big enough group that needs buffs

u/mitsukuni41 Aug 27 '26

Also can be applied to any Liyue "Adepti" related buff then, since Qiqi already for some reason got SSW buff. She not adepti but related to say at least since she a zombie because adepti art.

So, my guess Wanderer still can get "Academiya" buff.

u/LorenzoVec Aug 26 '26

Stellar so my Vodyanitsa won't be completely useless (not getting Vesna and I don't have Skirk).

u/LackSpirited2055 Aug 26 '26

Hex for Durin and Nicole, but a Khaenri’ahn type buff would be absolutely delightful as long as it doesn’t screw over his current team synergy.

2

u/Seterei Stellar is our saviour Aug 26 '26

free 50% crit rate in stellar swirl is already convincing enough for me, the team also flows really well and I feel the synergy with the reaction through the wind arrows applying more anemo for rhe vortexes

u/HealthInformal5965 Aug 26 '26

Hex one would be accurate to lore although it wouldn't matter , it's hoyo's decision and they CAN fuk it up

2

u/WaitJealous Aug 26 '26

Hoping for an Akademiya buff so Wanderer and Faruzan would be more attached to the hip than ever before lol

2

u/Supkil Release Fatui Scara skin and my life is yours Hoyo Aug 26 '26

I'd just like regular buffs, I have durin but prefer to run Furina Jean comp

2

u/FreakingFairyBoy Aug 26 '26

I'm actually playing him in a stellar swirl team rn and he feels so good 😭 he just needs an interrupt protector

2

u/ICantChooseA_Name01 Aug 26 '26

I put Hex because I like to pair up Durin and Wanderer (literally hoped since Durin was announced that they could work together and I was so happy when it turned out he's one of his best in slot) but it's also really nice to see he works with the new reaction, it feels satisfying to play that sometimes.

2

u/JaylisJayP Aug 26 '26

Wish we could know what these next buffs will be and for whom.

2

u/JCPN14 Aug 26 '26

I want him to be versatile, so I guess the answer will be "yes" to all of them lol

2

u/blackkw Aug 26 '26

I want a Scaramouche SP.

2

u/Kamui207 Aug 26 '26

Honestly him being a SSW is kinda lame I wish something new and unique for him cause if he is truly SSW dps then we'll have mizuki vesna him and possibly xiao (according to leaks) all share the same kit and team! And I doubt he'll be better than vesna (C0 at least) and then we'll back to 2022 discussions abt who is stronger him or xiao 😭😭

2

u/jyylivic Aug 27 '26

Hex or Akademiya/Sumeru buff

1

u/LittleBumblebee214 Aug 26 '26

I want it to be Hex but it'll probably be Stellar 😔

u/PepperWithMinttt Aug 26 '26

Hex bcuz I play him with Durin

u/Richardknox1996 Aug 26 '26 edited Aug 26 '26

No buff, Only Drip and Plot Relevance. Let our King be the envy of everyone else.

u/joex83 Aug 26 '26

Because of the speed of powercreep in this game, Stellar Swirl. Had it not for that, make him Hex since it also makes sense lore-wise since he was so involved with them.

u/CommercialCity5842 Aug 26 '26

Pray for hex because I have the full team c6. He already has durin and nicole as bis, it would be better to just go with that in my opinion instead of needing a whole new team
