I’m a proud Scaramouche hater. When he was first launched, I couldn’t stand his obnoxious taunts, his bizarre coat-shorts mixture, or his embarrassing bowl lower. I’ve since warmed to his now more-compelling backstory, however there are followers on the market who’ve been ready for this villain to be playable since he first appeared in November 2020. Two years later, they’re about to be rewarded for by no means having moved on. Whilst Scaramouche’s most devoted anti, I’ve to admire their loyalty.
Scaramouche (or “The Wanderer”) might be playable as an Anemo Catalyst character as quickly as his banner begins on December 6. Gamers who need him must courageous large odds by rolling for him within the gacha. Keep in mind—all characters will ultimately come again on rotation, so when you miss out on him earlier than his banner ends on December 26, then simply wait patiently for him to return.
The Wanderer was first launched as a villain within the Unreconciled Stars occasion, however that’s not why we began off so badly on the improper foot. His fellow officer Childe was extraordinarily cool, regardless of plotting to destroy my favourite metropolis within the sport. Even Dottore had a strong gravitas about him. Scaramouche, although? He clearly had some sort of trauma, however he stored performing all powerful about it. Each different phrase out of his mouth was an insult, and we consistently needed to discover out about his backstory from different characters. His total look within the sport was constructed round being extremely troublesome for gamers to like (although to not his extremely vocal fanbase).
Which aligns completely along with his in-game backstory. Scaramouche was initially the primary puppet prototype for a warrior god, whom he considered a mom. Raiden Ei meant to provide him freedom, however Scaramouche believed that she had deserted him. After that, two of his pals died for unrelated causes. He obtained so mad about this that he joined a villainous group and ultimately tried to turn into a man-made god. So he’s positively not the best character to like even from a fan perspective.
G/O Media might get a fee
And his compelling household trauma is just a comparatively latest phenomenon from final yr. Numerous gamers have been enamored along with his character design, or masochistically loved the character insulting them. After his debut occasion, gamers didn’t see him till the Inazuma major quest. He stole a divine energy from his mom, after which he disappeared. We noticed him in a flashback this spring, however he was notably scarce till the autumn—we didn’t even discover out about what sort of playable character he was till the leaks a few months in the past. However now, followers are lastly feasting.
The Scaramouche theorycrafting neighborhood continues to be deliberating over whether or not most of his harm comes from DPS like Xiao, or from Swirl reactions like Sucrose (which mixes totally different components with wind). Relying on which one he’s “meant” for, Scaramouche couldhave very totally different excellent workforce compositions. We gained’t know for certain till he turns into out there tomorrow.
I’m skipping him in anticipation of the Alhaitham banner, however I want the most effective to all of the Scaramouche math nerds on the market.
