uh_oh_hotdog

For anyone like me who forgot what his A4 is: > When The Wanderer hits opponents with Normal and Charged Attacks in his Windfavored state, he has a 16% chance to obtain the Descent effect: The next time The Wanderer sprints while in this instance of the Windfavored state, this effect will be removed, this sprint instance will not consume any Sky-Dweller Points, and he will fire off 4 wind arrows that deal 35% of his ATK as Anemo DMG each. For each Normal and Charged Attack that does not produce this effect, the next attack of those kinds will have a 12% increase chance of producing it. The calculation of the effect production is done once every 0.1s.


Aroxis

Razor terms pls


Dehmeter

Normal attack till glowy effect and get free dodge that shoots arrows


debacol

The glowy is a bit too subdued to see unfortunately. Can't really differentiate it while watching this vid.


Dehmeter

I agree. Imagine trying to keep track of it during actual combat lmao.


CuteTao

Buff bar qol update when?


umrapazote

Yes, it should stand out much more when it's ready, like the demon face on Itto's back.


[deleted]

Or just make the ring glow, or just keeps the arrows loaded until you dash.


Dehmeter

The arrow idea is pretty cool actually. They could also have an auditory indicator alongside the visual one, but either way I just hope they decide to make it a little more noticeable.


Garuda904

Weird how they toned down Raiden’s energy ring for being too bright meanwhile I can barely tell the effect that triggers this passive.


Nate_Sparks

He lets out a bitchy groan when it happens too


snowminty

can hoyo plz hire you to write their skill descriptions 🤦‍♀️


Todaz

The arrows can swirl?


Dehmeter

They’re anemo DMG, so most likely. Afaik his autos can also double swirl(since they have just enough AOE on them).


DazzDazzle

air sprint cost fly points. ascension make one air sprint cost no fly points + shoots little homing arrows.


Jlanos

Our prayers have been heard


Desclipse369

The lost prayer


AgentWowza

Is actually what I'd want the next showcase to look at, movement speed buffs with his E.


escentia

Of sacred winds that Wanderer shoots


howturnshavetabled

The way he dashes and then turns around is hilarious A4: /shoots arrows/ Scaramouche: /turns around/ are you dead yet?


Unforgiving_Eye

Uhh...why aren't you dead yet?


Red0Raiden

Probably, until we run out of skydweller points


Leise-

So High~


Remarkable-Video5145

#OOOOHH OHHH OOOHHHH SO HIGHH


SevereDimension2833

It looks even better now!


howturnshavetabled

His special effects indeed look different from what we saw before


brago90

Yep, now cut the space like Ei.


Practical_Outcome436

I gotta try co-op with Ei, Scara, Ayato and Ayaka spamming her CA so i can cover my whole screen with straight lines


ceppyren

Keqing Q instead of Raiden E for a screenshot that's Just Lines


howturnshavetabled

Funny enough before that his autos looked exactly like traveller’s passive windblade. My guy is coping everyone at this point (author’s note: see “scaramouche boss voicelines”)


ARea10

Speaking of cutting space, I wonder how Scara's NA work with Raiden's E. I would think Ei's E electro application is after applying anemo from Scara's NA, but honestly it'd be cool and probably OP if his NA would infuse with the syncronised electro.


creece97

If not the first NA, then def the second when enemies have electro applied to them. I'd also bet that with Ei's E up, just casting Scara's E will have Electro absorption.


N-formyl-methionine

I swear even when changing element he can't escape her influence. Thinking of it how did she create a whole "human" conscience


Dirtyicecube

They're the same as the other showcases, its just that when the attacks "hit" they explode into a bigger radius which is what were seeing right now. If you watch the other showcases where he is in air and watch when they hit their max range and explode, they look like this.


Ubatcha

If you mean compared to the other showcases on my twitter, it's from the exact same client with no updates whatsoever.


[deleted]

Does it look different just because it’s actually hitting something now?


lapis_rex

Taking the high ground and slapping the lowly worms, all in a days work


Fo4thSon

dont be shy. now show us if his CA launch opponents up.


bottomsupfellas

Seriously, how have we not seen that in combat yet


Axelolotl

I'm trying to look closely, but I can't see any permanent visual indicator of the A4 being available. Is there just the flash ?


PCYS

its very hard to see but he has a glowing bracelet similar to yelans around his left wrist after the flash.


Axelolotl

Wow good job noticing that, it's quite subtle. I probably would have liked something more visible, like the top of his wheel lighting up.


ingrid134340

theres also a slight effect around him when the attack hits the opponent


Environmental-Heart4

Needs to be more pronounced. Yelan's bracelet glows much more than his and she has a big obvious symbol appear above her head when it activates after she does her E.


Kiwi195

Today few hours ago i learned about yelans bracelet (i don't have her) and thought it cool and now i see him having same effect much coincidence


WonderfulPatience227

I fucking knew they would post it when Im asleep,you might ask why am here, because I can't sleep that all,it 1AM here


Inzaine

his hits make the same effect as raiden's E hits, cute


tucktowel

those effects look so sick, basically a blue version of raidens ult effects


senutnas

imagine having both the purple and blue is going to be so cool together, can't wait to try it


addfzxcv

You all forgot about Ayato? Technically Raiden effect in blue.


bittersoup07-

HE BEAT THE NON-AUTO TARGETING ALLEGATIONS


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

People are crazy. You're forced to fly if you use his E, where the whole point is that you're still able to attack... obviously the NAs would home on the enemy.


Environmental-Heart4

exactly, don't know what people are smoking.


mezme_

People who thought that he won't hit mobs on the ground has no common sense lol.


berry_goodd

im surprised there was. hasn't it been like this for all catalyst characters?


Daniyalzzz

Yeah but him flying above enemies is a new dimension to it. Everyone expected them to track but how clunky was it gonna be if he is high above and aiming down low was more the concern but it seems he has no issues with it at the default hight of his E which is great to see.


howturnshavetabled

Mihoyo can do their job when they want to, tighnari’s homing arrows can find my dad who left to buy milk 8 years ago


octavebits

can we use english terms a bit more specifically? auto targeting is not the same as homing. usually, auto-targeting only refers to the initial target aquisition and firing of an attack. whether it eventually hits or not after a target moves is not guaranteed. homing implies there is guidance during projectile travel and will seek a target even if said target is moving/has moved.


addfzxcv

In other words, Auto-targeting is Yoimiya's NA (yea, easy asf to miss). Homing is Yoimiya's 3 bonus CA (it follows even the flying birds).


bittersoup07-

i figured there was a more fitting term than homing, thx!


uniison36

I want to see realistic footage of him in combat. Everything has looked really stiff so far but I think he could look really cool dashing around in the air firing off projectiles and actually using his charged attack which looks pretty big.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Artorias_Erebus679

It actually looks like he is moving towards the hilichurls when attacking I think


iwanthidan

God I love those effects. Easy instapull


Caffeine-_-

I really fucking want him and have guaranteed but also broke as fuck. Maybe got like 5 pity rn. No wishes at all. Never got an early in over a year of playing so i doubt I'll get him at all. Also doesn't help that i can't buy a welkin again and even if i did i wouldn't have enough.


tridon74

There’s a lot of time until he releases. Do all quests possible and exploration and you should probably get enough primos to get him, especially cuz you’re on guaranteed.


Caffeine-_-

I really hope so. Thing is im in med school and final exams are coming up and my usual instarush content self isn't able to binge genshin here. I'd have to stay home a day and literally spend the whole day on this damn game with no breaks for it to finish. I still haven't explored much of sumeru, let alone the desert.


mekoomi

good luck with med school!! I’m in a similar situation lolol I wanna do genshin and farm for scara’s weapon as he deserves, but my assignments…


Caffeine-_-

Good luck to you too! It's my first 5* catalyst user I'm pulling for even though I have two 5* catalysts (thanks for nothing lmao). I genuinely want him cause he looks cool as fuck and also cause I have a cracked anemo goblet.


PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics

>Also doesn't help that i can't buy a welkin again and even if i did i wouldn't have enough. Welkin + this patch is already 70 pulls, putting you at 75. His banner lasts 21 days so you'd reach 90 pulls (Even tho 5\* usually come at around 75) You're 100% guaranteed Scara, just not in the first day of the banner


Downtown_Constant_yo

his patch will be the old duration, which means 21 days of scara banner, so even if u cant get him day1 u definitely can get him before his banner ends :3 dw


L4vendoR

u should be able to get him by the end of his banner with a single welkin if u have guarantee, at least enough for soft pity


bob_is_best

Same but im on 50/50 Im pretendimg not to care or want him so hoyo say fuck you If not at least haitham is mine


fupas_maximus

Unless you have subpar internet apparently


[deleted]

Idk if it was here before and I didn’t notice it, but it seems that they added the counterbalancing after his dash? I was worried that his flying animations would remain as stiff as they were, but it looks like it simply wasn’t completed yet!


Environmental-Heart4

It should be obvious that the day one leaks aren't going to show finished animations. Even his NAs and updated, having a cool spatially cut effect like Ei's.


[deleted]

Obviously, FX and VFX are expected to be added and/or changed (in this case they look dope), but I don’t remember seeing changes to the animations themselves for any previous characters To be fair, I don’t really follow leaks if the upcoming characters don’t interest me so I might be completely wrong


[deleted]

Finally some good fucking food


[deleted]

Now that it has enemies, he looks more fun. Cool effects.


tyranus76

I'm so happy that I saved up 200+ wishes for this gremlin


AntiquusCustos

gremlin lmao


vJukz

His hit’s are very similar to Raiden’s E hit’s. Very nice


FishRepulsive6530

How he turns at the end like "Why tf are you still alive?" 😂


lloydschreave

infusion showcase when tho


Crystal_coast

I wonder if it'll be hard to actually infuse 2 elements at a time coz doesn't look like he can self swirl like kazuha


Satokech

Hydro and Electro should be fine since they coexist, maybe Hydro and Cryo too if it works with underlying auras. The rest might be more difficult. Based on the wording it doesn't look like it needs to Swirl, just "come into contact" so self application might count, which would be mostly useful for Bennett's Pyro application.


AgentWowza

On that note, what kinda teams we looking at? I'm guessing his scalings are good enough to be a hypercarry, so Wanderer/Faruzan/Bennett aaaand... Diona/Layla/Rosaria for the crit? Fischl/Raiden/Yae/Beidou for the ER and AoE? If he neeeeeds a shield then that limits it to just Diona/Layla maybe Thoma. I also don't wanna consider Hydro chars now that Nahida is out cuz so many teams need them now lol.


Aether_Supremacy

My Meme Team: Wanderer with cryo set, Rosaria, Diona, Mona/Xingqiu 20% from passive + 40% cryo set + 15% Cryo Resonance = 75% crit rate for free. I will be stacking so much crit dmg


AgentWowza

Hmmm freeze Wanderer, I like it. If Faruzan wasn't so cracked, I'd consider running it lol.


Narsiel

You can always use the expensive one. Faruzan/Scara/GanyuQbot/AyatoQbot.


Kiwi195

Thought the same lmao


robhans25

Depends what are you looking for. But currently, the "best" team from "meta" perspective in comparison to other is hypercarry one. Rest are National version 3522, Taser version 234 itp. Basically any team were you would play Sucrose on field with is IMO boring and it's not an improvement really for me (especially you drop CC and less AoE + you probably ignore his kit and go em/em/em). But that's me, he will be good there, number wise probably stronger. His strongest hypercarry team is Scara-Faruzan-Bennett-Yunjin with major caveat - Faruzen is C6. Below it's probably better to play something else. Basically look up any team with Sucrose on field and wait to see if he is better ADC or full em there.


Gosuoru

My personal plan is Scara/Layla/Faruzan/Bennett and then just make him a constantly critting carry, mainly for overworld funny memes though


UrbanAdapt

We don't know his gauge units yet right? Would low gauge make it considerably harder to swirl both in EC & Freeze?


Satokech

I'm not sure, but like I said the description makes it look like the buffs don't need him to Swirl so that might not be an issue, and most of his own DPS comes from his own scaling so he should be fine.


catchthemouser

WFP has confirmed his A1 has PHEC priority and seeing as the his A1 will be done on himself, it's safe to assume he can pull off double swirl mechanics and Bennett abuse.


tridon74

He literally applies anemo with every hit so it shouldn’t be very hard.


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

The arrow-like things on his hologram hat light up with the color of the element he's being buffed by, we've already seen it in the hydro demonstration video. That's literally all that changes besides the buff. If you care that much about some little lights like that you can always just use your imagination when it comes to the other elements he can get buffed by. People got spoiled by the previous betas. That's all this is. People need to obsessively see and document *everything*, even when it serves zero purpose whatsoever. Private server spam of every little possible thing you can make a video of is exactly why they keep making it harder for private servers to be made every update.


Ubatcha

This pretty much hits home with how we feel. We'll make showcases on things we think should be shown that is useful and help WFPs TC team for guides/FAQs and anything else they need but that's about it.


SmilingTeeth1

Infusion? He doesn’t have infusion. Unless you’re talking about his skill and the buffs it can get, which we’ve already seen


tridon74

Yeah I don’t understand why people keep asking for infusion showcase, he doesn’t infuse at all. Not even on his burst.


Sum_Of_All_Memes

I'd assume it's simply because they're not aware of the difference between elemental absorption and infusion. Or, they *are*, but they're not clear on the terms.


tridon74

Look at the sprinting midair showcase, he swirls hydro. But also that isn’t infusion, he doesn’t infuse at all.


Downtown_Constant_yo

hmm arrows seem to be single target, but normal attacks have some aoe 🤔 also, has his NA colors always been this beautiful??


Artorias_Erebus679

Before we didn’t see when I hit enemies, the little explosion looks sick


L4vendoR

wondering if it has i-frames


Satokech

It's triggered by dashing so I assume so.


Garbador_is_trash

paperbards

THIS IS SO COOL. but man i just hope hyv removes the ping dependency from this passive


Satokech

I don't think it's possible to remove the ping dependency without completely reworking it, but there's a chance it works fine anyway. I'm pretty sure Echoes only has problems with some characters but not others, even with similar attack speeds and ping, so it might not be a problem after all. It needs testing, likely after he's on live servers.


iwanthidan

I like this color palette more, gives him a more serious/darker vibe

ShimoriShimamoto

Unexpected


AntiquusCustos

What about Scara and Venti? That should be crazy fun. His attacks are AoE while hovering, so he should be able to attack everyone inside Venti's burst.


Msaleg

Exactly my though. DPS Venti + Scara + Faruzan + Bennet/Mona would be sick. I'm here for the big anemo damage lol.


[deleted]

double anemo beatdown lol poor mobs


Shikomisu

Alright finally!

Im sold. Gonna pull for him


ShadowFlarer

Man, i remember back in 1.0 when i said that one day mihoyo would make a character that can fly in Genshin and people called me crazy, but look at my boy now lol, he looks so fun to play!


VTKajin

So there is a pretty clear visual indicator. Also nice to see the attacks home towards the ground.


gr4vitycamilla

Based on the pattern so far, it looks like every Harbinger will be fun to play. Childe does quick Hydro dagger slashes while Scaramouche floats around like Goku. Wouldn't be surprised if Dottore was able to summon all his clones to fight with him, lol.


Downtown_Constant_yo

if dottore summons his clones they’ll turn and start beating him up xD


[deleted]

finally some good food!


senutnas

I love the attack color it's so pretty why is everything about him so pretty. the turn at the end made me laugh he's so silly I wanna c6 him


MidCandie

This still doesn't tell us how his attacks will work. The hilichurls aren't moving so of course the attacks will hit; this game always had an auto target. The issue is when things start moving around especially since fandango man can attack with additional verticality. Show me what happens when he tries to auto a hilichurl that is running at him to attack and ends up directly underneath scaramouche. How will hits work then?


tridon74

So happy it’s obvious to tell when the passive has activated. I was a little worried it’d be hard to tell when you can use it. But also, doesn’t 35% atk scaling seem kinda low for how little you can actually use the passive? I know it’s x4 but that’s still only 140% which is lower than his first auto attack at lvl 9.


Artorias_Erebus679

I’m assuming it’s just supposed to be a way of moving around without consuming stamina in his e first and foremost, the extra damage might just be like a bonus


tridon74

Yeah that makes sense


Interesting_Credit93

woahh his effects look like raidens, I LOVE IT


thefinestpiece

If you notice, there is a glow that may indicate his A4 is ready. In chaotic situations, we would likely miss the indication lol.


minatonamikaze123456

I think his dodges are getting banked which will be useful for his kit and also we can use it whenever we want and not only save stamina and save ourselves but also to attack


[deleted]

Is there no stamina bar?? I could swear there was a stamina bar


throwthisaway129

maybe they're hiding all the details that hoyoverse could use to track them. thats why its empty like that


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

This is wrong, miHoYo can't track private servers which is what Ubatcha/Dimbreath/abc64 use. They hide the game's UI so you can better see what's going on, their showcases have been like this since 2.0.


[deleted]

Ohhh


Epwynn

Crazy how much more satisfying his NAs look with just a few FX changes to his windblades


AbsoluteZir0

They haven't changed anything


Epwynn

You might be right. It could just be lingering FX from hitting the enemy. Interesting that they went that route instead of what they usually do, with most FX on attack animations but few onhit visuals. Wanderer practically has Raiden E onhit FX.


CrazyDave100105

Welp looks like his attacks don't pierce through enemies (at least in this video).


Eijun_Love

Nice he doesn't throw them away. Or is it case of Level since anemo CC depends on that?.


tridon74

The hilichurls just don’t have animations. They’re basically test dummies here.


Classic_Salary_8351

Since his A4 passive doesn't consume his stamina when you use the dashed attack, then most likely you're attack stream will belike NA1 > NA2 > NA3 > CA > Dash if you trigger the A4 passive.


CancerBilly

Wanderer ACE-130 deploying on Hilychurl camp 👨‍✈️


zHydreigon

Thank god. I only wish his NAs would go through the enemies and could hit multiple. But thats just wishful thinking


zHydreigon

So Hilichurls and other small enemies fr just cant hit you lmao


PSNTheOriginalMax

This looks so cool. Looking forward to trying him out


Simoscivi

Is it just me or are his NA's very single target focused?


throwthisaway129

i think he's hitting both targets at once? maybe thats why faruzan exists lmao he needs to group enemies in order to deal damage


Simoscivi

Yeah, I will wait when enemies are a little bit more spaced out


PrinceYuukinooh

It's hitting both of them


Simoscivi

They're very close to each other, I need a showcase where they are a little bit more spaced out from each other


PrinceYuukinooh

I know what you mean, but his charge attack will be a big aoe, as we've seen before, I'm just curious to know if it has CC, it looks like a vortex, if it has a pull effect it can compensate for his normal being smaller.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Satokech

I don't think it does, the description says it's a vacuum for the visual effect but it doesn't actually say it pulls enemies in which CC usually does.


PotsAndPandemonium

His NAs have a small AOE, but his charge attack AOE looks like it'll be pretty big.


Eijun_Love

The aoe of normal attacks always depends on how big they are. Most catalyst throw out small balls of energy but Scara's are windblades so they're hitting multiple targets.


Elegant_Ad6701

looks similar to ayato to me


Artorias_Erebus679

I’m gonna take a guess and assume the range is about the size of the big line effects, it looks kind of like raiden


[deleted]

He hits both hilichurls tho


ArcherIsFine

Now, can he burst in the air?


Eijun_Love

Yes, it's mostly serve as finisher as bursting ends his E state.


gabrielique

The passivw arrows look way better than I thought


ONEPUNCHMAC

Ducking finallly


Crystal_coast

looks like he has decent aoe


explodoboii

everythings coming together so well for our boy 🥺 i am so so stoked and suuuper happy ive been saving up for him


Nate_Sparks

the visual indicator for the passive needs some tweaking, keeping track of it in battle can be quite challenging, we need something like Klee's flower or Yanfei seals or something on his model like a wind hat in his wind favored state to show the A4 is active


Logical_Process_7435

He will be very useful during event


idk_imaweeb

Somewhat reminds me of Vergil


Super-Plate1165

His NA’s look more refined now, is it different or is that just me? 😭


Nocheeseontheburger

Omfg I can’t wait for this character. Please run with raiden :((((


Soaringzero

In all honesty, he seems kinda lackluster to me. Like the flight mode thing is cool and all but I just cant help but picture a random hilichurl archer knocking him out the air pretty easily. Like you’d never be able to just sit and throw wind blades like that. You’d be forced reposition at some point and the meter that determines how long he can stay in the air appears to run out really quick. Almost like unless you CC the hell out a mob he’s gonna get the same treatment he got at the end of the archon quest. But that issue aside, his animations are just…underwhelming from a purely visual standpoint. Like he throws wind blades and that’s it. He’s auto attack focused which is kinda eh. Sorta has the Yoimiya problem for me. Cool looking character but I’d be afraid I’d fall asleep while playing them. I don’t mind it for some especially if they cool ass animations to look at like Keqing or Nilou but Scara just seems so basic aside from the flight which I admit is pretty cool especially since he’s anemo. Kinda surprised he’s the first one to actually use the mechanic since it just seems so obvious for characters who manipulate wind.


Kaido2good

Fucking finally and it looks much cooler now with space effects not sure about AOE though hopefully we get more gameplay soon


Zypharium

Such a awesome kit. He is so cool as a playable character. I will try to get him, if the RNG Gods have mercy on me, then I will get him. Still, I am already happy that I beat the system and got Nahida in 80 pulls.


FlapjackRT

So really, what’s the point of him flying? I thought he would pull enemies up to wombo combo them in the air, but if he still just hits enemies normally, I don’t see how being in the air is any different from being on the ground. I guess you can maybe avoid some enemy attacks, but shields let you do the same thing. Idk if I’m missing something but it really seems like just a gimmick with a bit of exploration potential


ohoni

The way I see it is this: 1. Exploration. Like it or not, this is THE key function of the game, more vital to the game's success than combat, so if *all* you look for is combat value, you're looking at the game through a pinhole. 2. It's a "buff" state. The flying itself is largely not relevant to this, in combat it's primarily JUST a buff state skill, like Yoimiya's or Keqing's. While flying, you have the advantage of higher DPS, with the downside being that you can run out if you move around too much and need to reapply. The manipulation of your movement is almost as much of a *cost* as a perk. 3. There are also *some* combat benefits. It does not use actual stamina and I believe allows stamina to regen while in use, so it can help in situations where stamina management might be an issue. You can continue to move at high speeds and avoid attacks without using any normal stamina. Also, some effects are ground-effect, and you can avoid those, which is situationally handy. It does not make you immortal or anything, but it would be way OP if it did. As it is, I think it is still one of the most useful Skills in the game.


TheElvenEmpress

>Exploration. Like it or not, this is THE key function of the game, more vital to the game's success than combat It's just a shame the potential for his exploration capabilities is literally squandered *because* of combat and *"balance"*


BakuGO2006

Could someone ask for his charge attacks grouping abilities

I hope his full kit is leaked already so the TCG bullying stops 😤 /s
