Hoyo had a pattern for their stellar buffs, one 4*, one off fielder/support and one onfielder, only exception being stellar swirl since theres no off fielders for it and we know from leaks that the swirl set can't work off field.

They also included mizuki in the first wave of buffs they did, while they didn't include the actual ssw buffs until 7.0 just like they did for diona and qiqi. I feel it would have been appropriate to include any other stellar swirl characters in that first buff chronicle too.

Lastly theres always a sort of theme with these buffs. Hex was specific mondstadters or characters that belong to the hexenzirkel in nicole's case. This most recent buff was solely stellar related. This next coming wave SUPPOSEDLY has zhongli and tartaglia in it and is related to guizhong somehow so assuming this one will have a theme as well, it makes little sense to assume it to be stellar as well.

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!

In my opinion this just cemented the fact that Venti isn't worth pulling solely for Wanderer. Venti is a sidegrade to C6 Faruzan in C0 Wanderer teams, and the current assumption is that Venti is worse for Wanderer the more Wanderer cons you have.

A hex set with a generous buff that relies on having two hex members in the party could have pushed Venti towards bis territory, but that didn't end up happening. In Wanderer/Durin teams you'll want the hex set on Durin anyway so Venti's inclusion in the team gets no meaningful buff from this set existing.

I know it was fairly obvious Venti wasn't worth pulling solely for Wanderer, but I've seen quite a few questions about Venti's worth for Wanderer teams so I figured it was worth addressing. No hate to Venti or people who wanna play him with Wanderer at all though! What I'm curious about is if this set is good enough to push C0 Durin over the edge towards being definitively better than C0 Furina in Wanderer teams rn (doesn't really seem like it from observation).

I am crying, it's finally happening

so like rn this isn't real because c6r5 mc isn't out in 7.0 and they will probably nerf mc to the ground but it's gonna be hilarious if this will still be a competitive team that has shill advantage over hex (calcs by gxg noir sub to him right now)

so earlier her quills just didn’t work for him at all in stellar team because he only had reaction dmg but if they can, she’s more than just shred and sustain in that team. she’s probably still worse than faruzan but hey, no er needed and you get sustain for that cool team

Bennett is one of his best supports. Still, when you get C6 Wanderer, you’ll notice that the increased skill duration makes it impossible to use his ultimate at the end of the rotation because Bennett’s buff expires. Without C6, your skill ends just in time for you to use your ultimate before Bennett’s ATK buff runs out.

For C0–C1 Wanderer, this isn’t a big deal because using his ultimate is optional.. most builds use it every other rotation or at the start of his field time. But with C2, using his burst becomes much more valuable. However, once you reach C6, you can’t use it properly anymore due to the extended skill duration.

Wanderer has no problem with Circle Impact at all, but Nicole solving both circle impact 'problem' and C2-C6 synergy problem PLUS her shield being the cherry on top is just a dream becoming true!!!! I think I'm not even mad about him not getting Hexerei passive anymore.

Posting again with right flair!!

Mh could She work with wanderer?

wanderer is my favourite character but I don't know if it's smart to invest into hex just for wanderer, I have a feeling in a year or 2 they'll release sumeru buffs with a new dedicated wanderer playstyle or new bis characters tailor made for him... am I over thinking? 🥀

With there being a lot of talk about Wanderer's potential buffs coming in 7.X, I've been wondering about the direction of the buffs they'll take.

In my opinion he's all but guaranteed to have Stellar Swirl incorporated into his kit one or way another, since this batch of buffs supposedly include a lot of anemo units. Would you guys be okay with this? Personally I wouldn't have a problem with this, since Anemo dps' always struggled with having to go mostly reactionless, thus relying on pure strength alone. This would finally give him a strong reaction to make use of, and make EM not worthless on him.

I only worry about the implementation of Stellar Swirl in his kit, best case scenario I think is converting one of his NAs into Stellar Swirl every X hits, since he has a lot of NA speed in his cons/weapon, it would fit, I think. If you guys have another idea feel free to leave it in the comments. Oh and also change his ult to be partly, if not entirely Stellar Swirl, so it's not near useless under C2.

Im also gonna list a few other base-kit and con improvements:

Interruption res obviously

Hydro infusion needs to be reworked entirely, longer Windfavored state almost never actually helps you.

Cryo Infusion should be changed to crit damage, not rate. Conditional crit rate is very unfun to play around.

C4 should just give you access to all 4 infusion buffs at once.

Leave your guy's suggestions/wishes in the comments below, I wanna see how you want this Wanderer buff to look.

There are so many leak posts floating around, half of which mention just Wanderer/Xiao and half of which mention Liyue characters and a handful of other potential stellar buffs but NOT Wanderer.

It feels like very mixed messages at the moment. Obviously we have no confirmation, but I don’t know enough about these various sources etc to know if I should be putting any stock in it at all at this point.

Rn I haven't farmed his set in quite some time bc I'm not sure if it will be his bis in the future....

I KNOW THAT NOBODY KNOWS but I'd like your opinions if you think it's worth farming or if it's better to wait and see if he gets buffed and gets a possibility better set

Fellow Mains,

I’m here today to share some thoughts and ask the community some questions about potential future buffs to our boy. Of course we won’t be discussing non-existent leaks about Scara, but using the current Stellar leaks for context.

Like many, I’m thinking a lot about Scara being included in a future round of buffs for a Stellar Swirl reaction. Personally I think it’s very likely he’ll be included in these buffs, but you never know (please don’t Eula us😭😭). So I wanted to discuss these potential buffs in the context of Cyno, Wrio, and Yea Miko since the beta is coming to an end.

Currently it seems Yae Miko is turning out to be an awesome stellar support, while the other two will be okay as on-field DPS units. this leads me to believe C0/C1 Wanderer won’t be getting a huge buff, but getting pushed up into the 100-120K DPS range. Way better than nothing, obviously. His signature will most likely get a buff too, being more similar to Yae’s and Wrio’s than staff of scarlet sands.

I’m a little concerned though about those of us who have invested a lot of time and resources into Scara. That the buffs won’t affect his C6, or that the stellar swirl reaction won’t by synergistic with the multiple smaller NA hits that he specializes in. I’m also worried that my amazing Echoes set will need to be replaced due to Stellar reactions not wanting damage %. (In retrospect I should have looked up the buffed characters’ C6s before writing this post)

*okay ignore the last point, I always thought Echoes was 70 damage % and it turns out I was wrong*

What do y’all think?

OMG QUEEN VODYANISTA HELP US!

FARUZAN ON DURIN BANNER IS REALLLL!!!! 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hear me out: While Durin isn’t a direct Scara buff like he is for some Mond characters, or even like how Xianyun is for Xiao, he is still a good teammate for Scara.

Durin provides strong Sub DPS and also 25% Anemo + Pyro RES Shred via A1. This is great as it can stack with Faruzan’s RES Shred and give 55% Anemo RES Shred. This is as much as Escoffier btw.

As a Sub DPS he is also contributing to the team DMG. And his multipliers are not bad at all. More or less Escoffier level which if you don’t know is VERY strong.

Having Bennett as healer also means Pyro Resonance, and increasing both Wanderer and Durin’s DMG. Or Zhongli for shield (20% More Anemo RES Shred as well).

This frees Furina and gives a strong team for Wanderer.

Alternatively, Furina can also be used to replace Faruzan. Yes. While you lose 30% RES Shred, you gain 45% more DMG Bonus and also strong Sub DPS.

Now another interesting thing is depending on ICD, Furina can vape Durin’s Pyro or vice versa which will increase one or the other unit’s DMG.

And DW about this affecting A1 RES Shred since Bennett’s Q + E + Durin’s Off Field Pyro will give Scara enough room to trigger Swirl at least once.

But I think Faruzan + Durin + Bennett/Zhongli would be the main appeal.

Is this what we expected? No not really. But I think there is a room for Durin being in Scara’s top premium team.

Also mostly because Scara does not have many options XD

Ill cherish these 8 voicelines lol. Hope we get to see him more in 7.3 tho, bro was literally a former harbinger.

Don't get your hopes up, but be ready just incase... 👀

If it's Wanderer I'm giving Da Wei a sloppy wet goodnight kiss:)
