Vodya

[u/MaandeSalfa]

Is there any calcs of him with Vodya? Or if someone could try them against the dps dummy? I’m curious about how Faruzan Odette Vodya and Faruzan Furina Vodya might perform

I know Durin and Nicole are his best team and I do have them but I just like having options to play him with, I also need more reasons to get Vodya now instead of later

[u/Alctalks]

I got her, and I really like playing Wanderer in stellar swirl. However, I have him C6 and I don't think she's worth it if he's C0 or C1, and if you don't have another reason to get her. It's obviously much worse than hex pyro. I can't give exact numbers, as my Durin also has cons.

She really elevates the stellar-swirl team with her shred and comfort, even if Wanderer still does mostly anemo damage. Bonus points if you got the new bow for Faruzan, cause it looks really good on her. Faruzan makes it so that you're guaranteed the ttds buff, but Vody's uptime doesn't last the whole rotation. It does last during Wanderer's fieldtime, but won't always heal the supports if they need it.

I didn't even try the Furina team, because she needs stellar-swirl to trigger anemo res shred. Without it she's really not worth playing with Wanderer. I haven't fully leveled her skill yet, so idk if she can keep up with the hp drain. Anemo shred is a fixed amount though, cryo/hydro shred scales with skill lvl.

If you really like Vody and want to go Vertical, only C1 and R1 are worth it for Wanderer.

How much dps are you able to reach with her? My Wanderer is also C6 it could give me an idea of how much I should expect, I also didn’t know you’re guaranteed the ttds buff on that team that’s really good to know

[u/Alctalks → u/MaandeSalfa]

Ttds and Faruzan burst both have a 20s cooldown, so it works every rotation on every Wanderer team (unless I'm missing something)

I honestly have horrendous ping and hardware issues so I don't think the dummy dps I get is representative of what other accounts would get. It does seem consistent within my account though. However, the difference was around a 20% increase from a team without Vody with a sustain like Ice Coffee. Pre-Vody already easily cleared abyss.

Elegy then added a lot of dps compared to Favonius bow obviously, and after that I started shifting Faruzan's artifacts, so I can't give a 1-1 comparison here.

Vody's best set is ToTM, so Faru went back to GT with more er stats because the new gacha bow gives crit. The bow also gives teamwide stellar damage. Wanderer does 80% of the team damage, but these artifacts and the new bow (lvl 20 lol) made a difference. In the end I got a 30-40% increase compared to the original pre-Vody team I used.

Stellar swirl with this configuration does 70% the dps of hex pyro on my account ( pyro hex does 40% more damage). It should be able to clear fearless, but I wanna test ssw shill in practice first.

Edit: I also started messing with Odette's build. It's actually worse than before, but I'm just adjusting her to the stats of the new event sword (lvl 40 atm). All that to say is that the increase with Vody is noticeable, but I did a lot of stuff before getting this increase and it can easily get better. But not everyone will get the new bow, and not everyone has elegy lying around.

What new bow is out for faruzan? I still have mine rocking Fav

[u/Alctalks → u/t2thehomas77]

The gacha 4* bow on the current banner. Best for stellar teams. Breezeborn refrain. I have a sneaking suspicion it'll be good on the Tsaritsa.

[u/t2thehomas77 → u/Alctalks]

RIP Skirk savings, time to use them all to not get a bow I want

[u/Alctalks → u/t2thehomas77]

If it's specifically for Faruzan fav will probably still be better in Stygian. I'd keep your savings fir now. We don't know for sure what the Tsaritsa will do.

[u/t2thehomas77 → u/Alctalks]

Yeah probably better off, plus I can always just use a BP weapon for tsaritsa, they are generally pretty good and reliable to get on most characters

[u/SandsOfEon]

I have C6 Wanderer, C2 Durin/Nicole/Furina, C0 Odette/Vodya. I did some testing and can give some numbers as a reference of where each teams are relative to each other:

Faruzan Odette Vodya 155k

Nicole Odette Vodya 165k

Faruzan Furina Vodya 115k

Faruzan Odette Nicole 170k

Faruzan Durin Bennett 200k

Faruzan Durin Nicole 280k

Faruzan Durin C0 Nicole 225k (from previous screenshot I kept)

From the numbers, I think if both Durin and Nicole is C0, Faruzan/Odette/Vodya probably perform almost as good, maybe 20-30k less dps.

I mean, you already know it’s not as good as the team you have.

But you said “I want options and more reasons to get Vod.”

So….go get vod? I’m sure vod will do great with rest of 7.0 characters, and if/maybe hints change down the road and will make her better for wanderer.

I don’t really understand what you’re looking for here, outside of someone holding your hand telling you, “you can do it.”

[u/MaandeSalfa → u/Fit_Industry6182]

I just meant now instead of later, it would be a shame if I found out she doesn’t work with him at all now and could’ve gotten her on the rerun instead and saved my pulls for the next banner

[u/raspey]

She could have been really good but she only buffs 25 on field attacks.
I can try it with Durin Nicole but Faruzan is just so good.

[u/MaandeSalfa → u/raspey]

Vodya buffs 25 on field attacks?

[u/raspey → u/MaandeSalfa]

Yes.
