It's a cute doggy game :D

Meta is temporary, fandango is eternal

Not gonna lie, I used to get really annoyed at Scara simps, but Wanderer has single-handedly made me fall in love with Genshin all over again. He’s insanely fun to play and has made me discard meta altogether, now I just farm mob materials and get 100% exploration on every map because it’s just that fun to go around doing aerial combat! I swear I’m still not over his little Raiden circle turning into two turbines when he fly-sprints, he’s like an edgy Astroboy and I adore him.

You have no idea how much the CN fandom loves him. A very large part of the CN online culture makes it so that his type of character is extremely likeable.

Honesty speaking, playing since version 1.2 Scaramouche is probably the first 5 star character that I pulled for just because he looks so fun to play. I didn’t think for a single time about his position in meta or how good he will perform. Only thing I cared that he looks so unique and super satisfying in terms of gameplay. However I think still he is a solid option if you can properly build him, at least he is in second tier from top.

What I’m enjoying is having a hypercarry that isn’t dependent on bursting. That’s why I rolled for him. It’s so frustrating having to tiptoe around Xiao or Cyno’s energy. With wanderer I don’t have to worry about that.

I run Wanderer with Layla for shielding, plus I get that 20% crit rate from his ascension passive with her cryo application. I think people make his low resistance to interruption seem like a bigger issue than it actually is. Just use a shield, same thing you'd do with Yoimiya, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Cyno, etc.

I played Genshin from the start, and pulled for lots of characters, now I’m at a state where if I don’t pull a single more character, I can finish whatever content Hoyo update.
So if I still wanting to pull a character, it’s because I love the story or the design. I’m happy with Wanderer’s story because Hoyo didn’t simply give him a new name and tell us he is a good guy, the fact he is still bad and he accepts himself been bad is very good storytelling. And thats why I pulled for him, not for power or playstyle, only because the game quality amazed me.

Folks pretending like the other DPS characters doesn't use Shielders/C6 4-star characters for their peak DPS potential.

I had zero instention of getting wanderer. Had no idea what all the hype was over his design back when he was introduced at the beginning of the game. Then I did the demo for the 20 primogems and his mechanics were easily the most fun I've ever had in the game. Insta pull. Very fun character design.

Scaramouche is probably one of the most popular Genshin characters. His voice is famous in tiktok too and even non genshin players duet his voicelines lol

One of the main problems Wanderer has is his low resistance to interruption while in being in flying mode, enemies just knock him down which reduces potential dps points

Let us not forget the fact that he was the 6th Fatui Harbinger. There are people who likes to collect them like the players who own archons.

"You get to feel like you are playing the characters"
Me: *Noelle & Wanderer main* EXACTLY.

I was dead set on getting raiden or save for haitham but then his little helicopter was marketed and I was sold, he's so cute!
he's terribly fun to explore the open world. I can still only 33 abyss but I've decided that is fine. genshin to me is an adventure game first, a combat game second and wanderer has made my recent journeys so exciting and fun

I mean this isn't surprising. The true endgame is now to just pull for characters you like independent of how "broken" they are. Most of us can 36 star abyss without any problem so pulling for meta units is no longer a need

Honestly, hes just so fun to play. Hes really different from a lot of the other chars and yeah, hes not meta level but hes definitely not struggling to go through content

Wanderer is the first character to actually make me enjoy team building. Obviously you want Faruzan to fill in one slot, especially if she's C6, but the amount of freedom you have for the other 2 is amazing. After building both Thoma and Layla for him, my Mora has never been so low lol

I think we're at the point where we can just go for characters we like. Most of the good supports are early characters so you'll bound to get them sooner or later. Now if only they could update Paimon's Bargain so we can some constellations for the recent 4 stars that'll be great lol. I have no interest in Wanderer, Itto or Genshin Miku so it's a shame I have to skip Gorou again since I'm saving for Dehya It would've been nice to just buy Gorou from the shop so I can try some mono geo teams.

Wanderer didnt WOW me at first(most units don't as usual). But after building him, his dmg became quite impressive (at lv8 skills, his normal attacks 11-22k per hit, even up to 33k with buffs, that's literally normal attacks!!!, He has fast normal attacks, so that's a lot of dmg) and fighting exploring with him, oh my god I LOVE the experience. He can reach so fast and auto aim, I barely have to reposition and move around. He clears a group of enemies really fast without using any team ult (I just use zhongli and wanderer) so no need to annoyingly rely on ult (during expiration) have yet to try him in abyss tho(already 36 starred abyss before I got him)

After playing with wanderer, I fell in love with it completely and flew around.

I feel like he was meant to be used with a shielder, esp to make C0 shielders more viable. C6 Thoma buffs normal and charged attacks (finally making Thoma even more viable, especially after Burgeon came too), C4 Layla buffs normal and charged attacks as well, Zhongli ofc shreds resistance and can hold Tenacity set, together with Yunjin who buffs flat normal attack damage (making Geo resonance possible). And then with Xingqiu who gives increased resistance interruption and makes him stay flying longer (more damage). Hoyoverse was smart on this tbh since they knew he is gonna be popular and then pair with not so popular 4 star units.

For me, he is just the most fun in the game. His flight is so much fun in combat, and running him with reaction teams is so many numbers that I find so satisfying

Using cyno for a long time during his burst is probably one of the things I like about his gameplay, he looks so cool

I rolled for him because I wanted to fly and his story arc was really interesting! He’s really fun, saving for Alhaitham and Kaveh next!

One thing that hoyoverse keeps doing weirdly enough is when new characters are released (with exception of like kokomi and such) they make the abyss rotation for them a pain and a half. Like when raiden came out, there was an electro aura on both sides that made her really bad in that rotation

He’s a glass cannon. Everyone please get over the fact he has low poise. Ayato and Yelan have huge HP so makes sense they are immovable. He’ll become overturned otherwise.

As a ar60 player. I dont pull for "meta" or strong character anymore. I pull the character who I find fun to play.

Honestly speaking, it’s nice to see wanderer with some pros and cons because if there’s non then he would’ve been too overpowered, without cc and resistance to interruption he becomes vulnerable as any dps out there, come to think of it, almost every anemo character actually has the most insane play style: Xiao, Kazuha, Scaramouche, Heizou, (I’m a venti dps main😅).

I didn’t care for scaradouche until I saw his kit, the amazing quest sealed the deal for me and I kind of fell in love with the character, I’m real happy to join the scaranation.

I'm so satisfied with Wanderer that I don't think I will be pulling for a new character anytime soon (even tho Alhaitham looks rad), rather I will focus on characters i already own and build some fun teams that echance Scara's playstyle even further
Easy 10/10 character if we're talking pure gameplay fun

His ascension 4 passive is so damn fun, feels so satisfying to play

As soon as I tested Wanderer I KNEW he wasn't going to be great for most people in the Spiral Abyss, including me. But I didn't get him because of the Spiral Abyss. I got him because his playstyle is fun and unique, and he makes exploration interesting. I can safely beat Spiral Abyss with my other characters, so now I don't even think about whether a character will be "meta" when i pull for them. I just pull for whoever I want. (I do think his lack of any sort of interruption resistance while airborne is pretty stupid tho)

What I actually like about him is his passive xd finally elemental shielder are at an advantage compared to Zhongli. Wanderer doesn’t get hit this often, so the shield doesn’t need to be this thick. Plus he really enjoys the CR or atk buff

Wish you a speedy recovery! Your videos are always awesome, so the wait is worth it, no matter how long it is :D

Once you can clear the abyss comfortably, fun ad unique becomes the new criteria for pulling new characters specially since they keep on just copy pasting skills and burst of old 4* and just make them 5* or a different element 💀

honestly, was saving for Hutao, Ayaka or Raiden(if the former 2 is not gonna rerun soon), end up pulling for Wanderer because he is probably the most fun character in Genshin so far, the ability to just hover over stuff is really fun to do

I was gonna skip him but between the interlude chapter’s redemption arc and the flying aspect of his playstyle, I even swiped a little bit for him bc I lost 50/50 and ran out of fates lmao now to save for Alhaitham

Wanderer is so much fun to play. He’s also been easy to build for me! I think it’s very interesting that a lot of his kit is based off of attack speed- his best artifact boosts ATK speed and so does his weapon! I’ve been waiting for something like that for a minute.

He’s iconic n gives us nostalgia. If he did one dmg I would still pull for him ✌🏼 Yan Fei n Gorou keep coming home pls hoyoverse make it stoop I want one Faruzan

I am still at Adventure rank 33 , I got wanderer at 70th roll (it was sheer luck) for some reasons people don't seem to like him much, but the situation I am currently in he is the one who is carrying everything.

He's a lot of fun to play and extremely good at exploration, but I feel kinda bad about Faruzan. I know I can't C6 her anytime soon, but having that would make my wanderer amazing in the abyss as well.

I pulled him because i find male mages quite fun and satisfyingto play. And after knowing Jester was a Royal Mage too, it piqued my interest.

He's SO FUN !!! Versatile, unique, and he's gonna get better in the long run!
I saved up for him cause I love him as a charcter, but im happy with him as a unite! And I will keep pulling for cons, but I did stumble and got Nahida too ...😳

his banner really does well considering a lot of scara stans have hundreds of fates already saved for him

I've been playing Genshin since 1.0 and honestly, at some point you'll stop even needing meta. You'll arrive at the point where your current units are enough to beat up difficult content like the spiral abyss, and maybe even arrive at the point where meta pulling burns you out from your account. Wanderer actually motivated me to 100% the forest area which I have been holding off for several updates, encouraged me to play long hours on the game again, all because he was fun and I wanted to keep playing him because I was finally enjoying myself again after a very long time.
Its been said multiple times before but really, pull who you like and find enjoyable, disregard the meta and just ignore whoever discourages you to pull someone you want just because they're "mid". Genshin's a very casual game and personally, having fun is the most important thing else you'll risk demotivation and burn out.

People who are talking about Wanderer resistance to interruption, just look at low HP Hu tao or archer Ganyu. How did you manage to play them? Consider same for Wanderer.

I wasn’t going to pull for him, honestly the Scara fandom on tiktok made me not want to do it even more. After the character trial, I enjoyed it so much that I got him. His gameplay is so fun! I can already clear abyss with many other teams, so whatever. Right now Scara and Layla are my favorite duo☺️

Zhongli mains during his first release : Meta is temporary. Style is eternal.
Scara mains in his first release : Meta is temporary. Fandango is eternal.

I really hope that all went well with your surgery and you are okay! :) Great video; I always encourage content creators to talk about other aspects of characters aside from pure dmg. Thx for making consistently good content, and keep it up! Take care!

At first I pulled Wanderer cuz he look so cute and fun to play but after getting him, he literally helped me in almost half of my problems like getting anemoculus, climbing houses, treasure hunting, annoying mobs etc.

You, me and the community as a whole is developing. Many of us have been following you for a while and what we're looking for in a new character is changing. I think Hoyo learned this the hard way imediately after this with Dehya. It's important to recognize the factors that make a popular character successful besides their meta standing, but the whole Dehya situation proves a characters pre-release popularity can only take them so far.

For the old players, abyss really isn't that hard anymore, getting him is just another way to have fun and bring the game to life again. Yes I wouldn't recommend him to f2p people cuz his power comes from his weapon, cons, c6 furuzan and etc but if you are just searching for a fun character then he is the right guy. A lot of people bring out him not being resistant to hits, but that's just like any other character tbh? Yoimiya, Hu Tao, Ganyu and many more dps characters need a shield to perform well so I don't see where all the drama is coming from. He is just a selfish dps, we have seen that with other characters, it's nothing too different that we aren't used to

A lot of youtubers underestimate importance of exploration qualities of a character. I spend around four hours a day playing the game in essentially exploration mode (running around, mining, picking artifacts, killing mobs for mora etc) while I spend approximately four hours every two weeks playing Abyss. Good DPS will improve 4 hours of my gameplay every two weeks. Good exploration support will improve pretty much all of my gaming experience.

I actually got his Weapon before him cos I was Aiming for Redhorn, 1st Single I got his Sig sooo I decided to use my guaranteed on him and it was pretty worth cos he's REALLY fun to explore with and does good overworld dmg which is all I'm mostly looking for. (and btw I'm pretty much f2p Minus 2 BP purchases in the past.)

Man, I hope you recover well from the surgery!
Love your videos and this one in particular was pretty good talking about this new approach on your future videos!
Keep it up!!

I had this crazy revelation where is more fun to have units which you can use for exploration than only meta units that you are only going to use once a month in the abyss. I already have Raiden, hu tao, ayaka and more but Wanderer? He is meta where I spent most of the time playing, he along Yelan made me want to explore more

Wanderer I feel is more appreciated than other units for many reasons:
1. He isn't really dependant on another unit in order to function.
While Faruzan exists, she will most likely come with his every banner, making her easy enough to get while not being a great unit, having basically only one more use with Heizou. The other units on his team can really vary on what you want for the fight. Bennett, Layla, XQ, Fischl, anyone who isn't energy hungry is good with him, even Geo units can still help. Unlike other popular units who may feel too dependant on XQ, Zhongli, Bennett or Nahida, he can use them however he likes.
2. He has actual inventive gameplay. While his gameplan is the usual "Go into E and start smashing face, your burst isn't a big issue", kind of unit, like Childe, Hu Tao, Ayato or Yoimiya, he has the best movement in the game that is not just a gimmick and has value outside of battle. Kazuha and Venti before him were mostly the ones where flying went crazy with, but Wanderer powercreeped them in that regard.
3. Catalyst MDPS are rare and he is easier to build efficiently due to the weapon choices he has.

As Scaara main for 4 months or so he is fun to play and yes his flying skill helps a lot

Another thing to note of the dual banners is that site's records do not distinguish between the two; both are lumped together for that sum. It's likely most of it will be from Wanderer's side, but the other part is Itto.
Wanderer's gimmick is cool for now, but will cool off after some time. There just isn't much to do while he's up there. I've always thought that catalyst users should be able to use their magic to fade, slide, hover slightly and freely move around during their attacks a bit sort of like Wisdom Form and Kingdom Hearts 2. It's great to see Wanderer do that... but ffs only him? Also, this is a completely missed opportunity for Heizou to do that too as one of his attack's ending animations is him stabilizing himself to put his feet back on the ground. And then his and Nahida's charge attacks... They instantly become active and the 2 can jump or dodge immediately with the charge attack still going off. The rest of the catalyst users need to be updated to this.

Man, I recently had a surgery too! Sucks doesn't it? I wish you comfort and a swift recovery if things are still uncomfortable, and thanks for another entertaining video :D

scara arc was so good, he's just so lovable even tho he's supposed to be a villain

I was starting to feel a little bit burned out on Genshin before Wanderer got released. Now, though, because he's just so fun to play as, fighting is exciting again!

I was never a Scara simp but his fun playstyle really convinced me to pull for him. I usually pull on a charas banner when they're fun to use (like Venti) and not because they can carry my team whatsoever. I planned to pull for Raiden ever since I started playing GI but I just couldn't resist the urge to pull on his banner when I got to play him on the trial run 😭 no regrets tho, because when I got him, I got more excited to play the game especially bcos I just love exploring and he's perfect for that!

fun fact: Itto is actually on his 3rd rerun since his debut banner in 2.3, since he had a rerun in 2.6 1st half because he was in the main event, then another rerun in 2.7's 2nd half because he was in the new archon quest, perilous trail, & he's also getting a rerun now in 3.3 as I'm posting this do to being in a new event for the 2nd time. So, with all that said, he is the new rerun archon & also had the shortest time between reruns, being only 2 banners apart, not yoimiya.

I agree with evertthing. I just got the Wanderer because I liked his gameplay and that's it. I even went with him to the new abyss having him at level 70, talents 4/4/4, and just because I had really good artifacts and a team of Xingqui, Fischl and Bennet I was able to do full starts on the abyss without a problem. I don't regret pulling for him, I enjoy it. Hope everyone that is pulling for him gets him, good luck!

Tbh I'm happy with his damage and I really love his gameplay, he's so fun!! I now look forward to playing Genshin whenever I can, which is a feeling I lost for a while. I'm happy my favourite character is finally in my team.

About the whole Faruzan thing you mentioned
I actually got really lucky with my Scara + weapon pulls (got both of them within a total of 70 pulls, thank you mihoyo for early christmas i guess) and I didnt intent on pulling for Faruzan as she's just another 4 star and we all know how hit or miss those are nowadays. However like the community realized, she is actually a pretty good support for both my Xiao and Scara so I used my remaining pulls + some more to get as many constellations for her as possible, because her energy issues are infurating and her C6 promising.
Tldr; I did not intent to whale for Faruzan but here we are.

His game play is fun and his ability to fly is good for exploration.

I honestly didn't have High Hopes for him but ngl he is amazing, I use him and gotta say he is so fun to play with

I wasn't surprised when I found out he was fun to play. That's how most of the Anemo units are.
That being said, the demo made me want to pull him just because he was that fun.

I won the 50/50 for him and then 30 wishes later when pulling for Farzuan I got his C1. He's so fun and his utility is awesome

btw it's not top 5 banner sales of all time but top 5 for day 8 meaning comparing all banners on their 8th day. i believe right now he's 12th place for total banner sales but regardless he's selling well and there's still a lot of time left too

What I love about Scaramouche is the charge spam you can do

i totally agree with you about the fun of playing a hyper carry character, and that is why i was destroyed when i learned that Shenhe was delayed and her kit replaced by Eula
i love playing Eula but i wished it was Shenhe, and even when playing Shenhe, she's only used with cryo characters 😔

THIS fr !! also, from what i've noticed from myself is that i often prefer the hypercarry type of main dps, where you basically just build the other party members around the main dps, bc i like to play with them longer and actually FEEL their gameplay yk.. my first main dps before i got wanderer was razor, who also has similar hypercarry gameplay and i love him as well.

Wanderer is insane at any reactions, idc about his raw dmg the best thing he helps me alot while exploring

I didn’t really have any clue who wanderer was but my sister made me pull for him and now that I have caught up on all the quests I really love him

Parabens pelos seus videos, são bem completos xD

I really want us to be able to use his elemental skill when we're in the air

As someone who prefer Normal Attack combat style over brust rotations scara is right up my ally. but I didn't pull for him because i'm a f2p saving for the reruns of either eula or zhongli. After that I guess i could try to get scara in a year or so on his first rerun

well, at first i wasnt a scaramuche fan but after they changed him to wanderer and most importantly his elemental skill, I pulled for him and is suprisingly fun to me now i just want my itto boy

I want them to make the Wanderer able to use his skill in air like Kazuha and Xiao. While we are at it, we also need his talents multiplers increased, make his cooldown zero while in his skill, and an anemo shield when he uses his arrows while in his skill. This would make him up there with the best meta units. Let's face it, all archons should be OP no doubt about it and Fatuii characters should be the next best thing.

Well, he definitely is not meta...
But dang, he is so fun to play! I'm so glad for saving my pity for him! I'm running around using him and he's so fast!

I got him guaranteed at 25 pity(I loss the 50/50 but Barbatos bless me) and then when I'm aiming for Fav bow I got his bell with mixed emotions(I have r4 lvl90 Widsith)

My uncle won the last 50/50 with Nihida, and he did not want Wanderer this time. He was trying to pull for Fuzuran and he got another 50/50 and he has now Wanderer as well. He was trying to reserve his primos for Ayato (who is coming in the next banner) but now he has 50/50 chance to get him. He is upset, but thinks Wanderer is fun to play.

I cleared both halves of this Abyss cycle using Scara so I'm satisfied. I would have loved some resistance to interruption but it isn't the end of the world. I can just run a shielder as a flex.

Honestly I don't mind your max output damage videos, that's the reason why I choose your channel, the math work bahind gives us a real look into the new characters performance

I pulled on his banner for Faruzan, and stopped as soon as I got her at c0, there's a new "must have" DPS every other update, but a god tier support is so rare, she's going on the same team as Bennet and Noelle

Personally, before Wanderer I was suffering for range DPS, and then putting Thundering Manifestation in floor 12 REALLY sucked ass, so it isn't like he didn't improve my clear time thanks to not having to constantly dash around. But I got him because I had a journey with the character. I h a t e d that damn gremlin from the start, then it got personal in Inazuma (much as the Teppei storyline was botched), then Hoyo has the audacity to make me start to care about the little shit via the Opulent Husk set and Sumeru Archon Quest. Hell, the cinematic following the fight with Scaramech actively made me feel bad for the guy, and his character teaser twisted the knife. How could I not give Hoyo props for such a great personal arc with one character?
I'm finally moving to the waifu gaming side of the fence. Gremlin gaming? Blep gaming >:3

I really agree that Faruzan really did carry the banner, I mean you can easily get c0 5* compared to c6 4* ;-;
Specially if you like xiao and heizou, c6 Faruzan is a good grab.

Wanderer really gives yoimiya-esque vibes for me.
Fun First, 36-Stars later(or never) 👌🏼👌🏼

As a one year player with luck so abysmal, I can say this, for new player build 2 meta teams, one of them is National comp. Pull 2 or 3 meta 5 stars like Raiden and Zhongli because Archon banners usually featured twice per version. After that, pull for whoever you want for fun, but still concentrate your resource for the meta team first

Wanderer has the same problem most catalyst dps (Usually ones you field for a long time) users have, they are usually pretty vulnerable to interruption so you have to shield them. Yanfei without C4 needs an overload comp to keep enemies far from her, Klee needs animation cancelling and is a hassle to use as she needs to be closer than Yanfei, Heizou plays really close to enemies, Nigguang is Geo so she has very few teams to be put in the first place or people who can boost her damage. Its not to say these characters are bad, in fact I would argue they are all underated, but Abyss is so built around speed that Genshin kind of needs new events that improve PVE by more than just hitting enemies in a small chamber and killing them as fast as possible. They put sets in game that allow units to tank or heal better yet they are almost never used in favour of just hitting enemies harder, this makes some units who aren't specialized in damage be seen as bad when in reality they are amazing for what they can do.

The strong point of wanderer is simply the new mechanism of being able to fly, because it really becomes satisfactory in exploration. You feel fast with a fairly short cd. the speed of its strokes or the versatility of playing it basic or loaded attacks. Do not depend on charging energy with an ultimate ability to kill a group of hilichul in the open world (Cyno...). I think people this time ignored the meta and preferred the fun

Wanderer is also part of the Harbingers like Tartaglia. Most would be wanting to collect at least all of the Archons... but on the flip side also collecting all the Harbingers would be cool too. These 2 "factions" are the most tied to the main story anyway. I don't play the game much anymore besides just collecting primogems from events and welkin moon (I've stopped buying battle pass, no desire to explore Sumeru, haven't even finished exploring Inazuma!), but am actually considering getting Wanderer at C0 at least.
Dehya come home faster gdi.

Agreed. I became a fan of him since I saw ScaraMona artwork. Which was half a year ago. I saved up enough to tripple crown him and to have him guaranteed. First time me pulling for a signature weapon on the first day of a characters release too. 😂😂😂 I was so happy, once I for him. I just started at him in awe the first couple of days. 😮 Wanderer really has a unique playstyle, where as newer characters just get slapped on an old gameplay mechanics that existed since day one of Genshin, which is really disappointing, but NOT Wanderer. He‘s the most unique character in game rn. Anemo characters are always so much fun to play. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Thank you for always giving us your best, i hope you get well and better.

i didn't think i would get him tbh, i got 5 consecutive wins for 50/50 beforehand and really did not expect i'd win. i don't particularly like him (at first, even after the story quest), but i grew to love him because he's so fun to play. he's currently my dps and he has carried lols

I did around 100+ wishes on the Wanderer banner, lost a 50/50, got him, got him C1 (that wasn't planned), got C6 Yanfei and Gorou (they were both C2) but got only ONE Faruzan TT. I wanted just to get her C1 or C2 but even that won't be possible TT
(PS: get well soon!!)
