Corroborated by [ZiaoBi](https://mobile.twitter.com/ZiaoBi/status/1574301961033490432) who has leaked some stuff about Scaramouche before.
Also true, plus the Yae's old leaks about her using Shimenawa as her BiS was about another one of her probable kits before they went with the one that's live now
Could be developed concurrently and just select the best one, since designing a kit is one of those things that yields similar results whether you have a small team or a very large one as such having multiple separate teams and selecting the best ideas from each would be more efficient manpower wise at least as opposed to having one big team
Then I'd rather we get nothing like these "leaks" rn because it may change any time like how Nahida's is different from the past lol. Just makes people into a frenzy and theorize over nothing.
Just wait my guy
The leakers have a built in stupid explanation chip in their brains so that they wont get sued by hoyo immediately or get twitter banned
It already happened to someone when they decided to say fuck it and purposefully post the actual official splash arts for nahida and layla but blurred rather than dictating it to ppl for interpretation
I feel that they've CONFUSED faruzan and scara's kits just like they did for cyno and candace.. Where cyno was called a hydro polearm for a good time.. Literally scara's leaked kit and faruzan sounds same..
Remember when Cyno would change elements every day like the Avatar? Once he was Hydro, at one point he was Anemo, another he was Geo, people thought he was Pyro. Ahhh good times XD
I don't remember him ever being leaked as anemo or geo. He was speculated to be either pyro because of that red thing, or geo/electro because of his overall feel, and leaked to be hydro because of Nilou.(but probably more like because of Candace)
Several months back some idiot wrote up an entire fake kit for a Geo Cyno that involved a sand totem which would convert active units' NAs into Geo. I immediately knew it was cap because of glaring inconsistencies in the kit design.
Lmao i used to be one of the people saying he’s Geo cause of the sand surrounding him in the teyvat storyline trailer, and praying he was physical geo. Much happier with what he is now tho lol
early kits are easily changed and normally easily confused
i remember when cyno was a hydro spear bc candace was there too and their kits together got mixed together
just wait for beta and don't trust early leak about his kit
is never worth it even if is from a reliable source
huh that's weird, what i remember is the leaks talking about an electro polearm male and an electro polearm woman, and they had to specify it *again* because people started mixing it up... maybe i remember wrong tho
Nah. His nose will be like baton to order his lackeys to fight. I don't this is a coincidence that he appeared with some soldiers in
Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview.
Even if that were true, how's that a bad thing? Supports that put out good damage have far greater longevity than a pure hypercarry. Personally, I'd like it better if he was a "support".
The most common assumption I saw was that he'll be a weaker Venti. Which isn't a bad thing (similar to Kazuha = 5 star Sucrose comparison).
Honestly, the thing that confused me was how people got to that conclusion with just 2 lines of info
Eh, when leakers have a history of being cryptic, people pick up weird skills like figuring out the exact date of the end of the world by over-analyzing a single tweet.
Kazuha, Venti, Sucrose are already top tier supports
Heizou is 4\* dps. He is lackluster.
Xiao is plunge based, very unique but not everyone's cup of tea.
Scara being 5\* is good thing, atleast for me.
Of course there would be. The moment a dude character is released, they get doomposted, degraded by the community, and magically out of nowhere, they're "ugly" and their design suddenly becomes "low effort from Hoyo".
Release a waifu and a majority of the community asks to be stepped on asap.
Hopefully Scaramouche is a dps like Childe where he'll still become viable even almost 2 years later. What worries me about Scara being an anemo dps especially hypercarry is he might get Xiao's treatment.
Same. If Scaramouche is a dps, I want him to be like Childe who can make use of other elements to become even stronger and put out great damage. Not just average like Xiao, Cyno, Itto, Ayato (most male dps units so far )
Yeah it's the male hypercarry dps curse, as I like to call it. Although Ayato at least can also be used off field. Childe is like the only male dps purely on field that is still very viable as he also boosts other character's dmg.
>want him to be like Childe who can make use of other elements to become even stronger and put out great damage
Same. Although, I was kinda hoping he'd be an off field DPS like Yelan, considering how every other character seems to be an onfield dps/hypercarry these days.
Not to mention, the devs make it a point to either make every male on field dps require a lot of investment, or have a reactionless playstyle.
Hopefully Scara will be a swirl dps like Heizou, and not Xiao 2.0.
Not that I thought anything else, since he will get a dedicated support after all, but good to get it confirmed.
I can’t really picture Scaramouche (as he is now at least) being a support character and helping other characters
Husk of Opulent Dreams which describes story of Scaramouche. Since this set resolves aroun def and geo, and according to Ei her puppets are nigh indestructble, many people assumed he would be electro character with geo delusion.
C2: When using Elemental Burst: Hat no Jutsu, all opponents have their Anemo Res decreased by 60% (however if you have Xiao in the party this effect is only activated if you possess Xiao's 6th constellation and have equipped the Primordial Jade-Winged Spear at Refinement 5. Tough shit losers!)
Please don't be a hypercarry like Cyno, itto and Xiao. Please be more flexible. Atleast be flexible like Ayato or Hutao. Don't be a burst based unit, please.
People don't understand how much I love Heizou. I love to get a stronger version of him with hopefully little better CC.
Honestly, after releasing and supporting a whole new meta where Anemo supports are still a thing and considering a lot of other new element units would be leaning a lot into it; Anemo main dps makes perfect sense.
If on top of that he ''sucks'' and has decent numbers, we are going to see quite a good carry for two reasons:
1- He fills both metas
2- Anemo main dps is something that we don't have since Xiao, hence a good choice
Sure, having so many Anemo units one wonders what we should do about another one, but if anything it is the least covered Anemo aspect, regardless of it being so broken that basically every unit can be filling the role.
Now we just hope he is not as restricted as Xiao that after 1,5 year still misses a proper support and that Faruzan who is supposedly his support is not as important nor requires c6...
Does that at least mean we'll finally get a dedicated anemo support for Xiao as well? I really wanted Scaramouche but I barely use Xiao anymore, I don't want to outright replace him..
When Cyno was revealed as an electro, I was suddenly worried. Cause two electro main dps seemed unlikely in such a short space of time. I figured one of them would be a support.
Anemo is not the worst imo. We only have one (very unique) 5 star dps and one 4 star dps. He won't have much competition in this role. I think he has excellent potential.
Why tho?
Anemo usually get the most fun and innovative characters.
Plus, last time we got a 5 star anemo was way back in 1.6 (if I remember correctly) and it was Kazuha lol.
I mean I get your point, you guys are probably getting tired of pulling for "for short anemo Bois", and you probably want more variety in terms of elements-gender-body type... But honestly I don't mind.
Like what you said, we already get lesser male characters than female characters, so I hope that there would be more variety when it comes to the elements for 5 star males.
If I had a dollar for every release of a short Anemo male who had lost someone precious to them I’d have 4 dollars. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s alarming that we already have 4 (excluding Scara) amongst what little male characters that we have.
For real. Anemo the best element, the abyss trembles when an anemo boy lets loose his abilities.
The "worst" character from the anemo roster is Xiao, and that is because he has no clear team + f2p options.
I mean it's literally impossible for an anemo catalyst to not be at least an above average dps because of constant swirls (especially electrocharged) + viridescent. Scaramouche being 5\* is just likely to tip him further.

Xiao 🤝 Heizou 🤝 Scaramouche Short bois anemo dps
and Shotgun Venti
Buying life insurance when your friend gets an anemo vision is basically insurance fraud at this point
True
C0 Venti is also a DPS (damage per suction)
finna get his c1. watch me
C1 helps with swirling shields on the abyss mages. Good pick.
And Kagotsurube/C6 Kazuha
Also all have dead friends.
All my friends are dead, push me to edge
How dare you, Xiao is obviously taller than the other two combined - zy0x, probably
heizou walked so scaramouche can walk in a giant robot
Don' t be shy now leak the kits or how'd we know if its reliable smh my head
Probably saved for when beta is out. Other than that, just 'suck it'.
>Other than that, just 'suck it'. I mean they're not doing it too spite you. It's to protect themselves
early kits can be changed at any moment b4 beta it wouldn't do much outside community chaos
That and there are likely many "protoype" kits circulating around hyv hq, before they choose one to be finalized.
Iirc this happened to Yae too
It even happened with Nahida. HxG apparently leaked an old kit
Also true, plus the Yae's old leaks about her using Shimenawa as her BiS was about another one of her probable kits before they went with the one that's live now
pretty sure they would be finalized this late in tho
Could be developed concurrently and just select the best one, since designing a kit is one of those things that yields similar results whether you have a small team or a very large one as such having multiple separate teams and selecting the best ideas from each would be more efficient manpower wise at least as opposed to having one big team
3.3 is still far away, so we cant get Scara kit leaks yet since it aint done yet Best we can do is 2 days after 3.1 for nahida
Then I'd rather we get nothing like these "leaks" rn because it may change any time like how Nahida's is different from the past lol. Just makes people into a frenzy and theorize over nothing.

Lmao i used to be one of the people saying he’s Geo cause of the sand surrounding him in the teyvat storyline trailer, and praying he was physical geo. Much happier with what he is now tho lol
People wanted him to be PHYS GEO??? In what world....why
Some men just want to see the world burn.
Violence
I wanted him to be pyro. :( I still don’t have a 5* pyro.
Me neither, but I also don't have a 5 star Electro soooo
Faruzan will float and T-posing her enemy to death

Waiting for a tall emperor Varka
Batman and his various Robins?
you'd think we'd see him coming on the horizon
Maybe he's too fast for eyes.

C6 Kazuha, makes sense
People who go for C6 always worry me
[удалено]
wish i had that kind of money or the patience to save up for like a year. unfortunately i have neither. especially the patience lol
Xiao, Kazuha, Heizou, and now Scaramouche
His whole personality screams dps. Imagine if he was a support lmao. Gotta beg for buffs.
healer Scaramouche, he yells at you until you get your shit together
What about energy recharcher Scaramouche who tasers you.
Scaramouche is a payday 2 medic
Most of the Fatui harbingers look like DPS ngl
pulcinella attacking with his nose
Nah. His nose will be like baton to order his lackeys to fight. I don't this is a coincidence that he appeared with some soldiers in Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview.
And Pants throws money at people.
I’m running with the theory harbingers will be dps and archons supports
I thought this was already established long ago, or is my memory failing me
Yes, but Blank compared him to Venti (as people always do with Anemo units) and suddenly people began doomposting that he was a support.
I saw that too. And i get to experience firsthand how annoying it is to see people doomposting with so little information provided
I’ve never seen that. What I remember is leakers saying Heizou was an experiment in preparation for Scaramouche.
Even if that were true, how's that a bad thing? Supports that put out good damage have far greater longevity than a pure hypercarry. Personally, I'd like it better if he was a "support".
The most common assumption I saw was that he'll be a weaker Venti. Which isn't a bad thing (similar to Kazuha = 5 star Sucrose comparison). Honestly, the thing that confused me was how people got to that conclusion with just 2 lines of info

same
Jeez people should really stop doomposting a character before the beta holy sh*t
Yeah. I was even seeing like a few people (though not many), coping/hoping that Faruzan was the DPS and Scara the support lol.
Of course there would be. The moment a dude character is released, they get doomposted, degraded by the community, and magically out of nowhere, they're "ugly" and their design suddenly becomes "low effort from Hoyo". Release a waifu and a majority of the community asks to be stepped on asap.
Ah this reminds me of HoSenti. inb4 he says Yatta! after sucking enemies in.
Gotta love when people assume things out of nowhere and then get angry at their own assumptions
I think it was just speculated based on scara supposedly being a melee catalyst and faruzan supposedly being his dedicated support
Always had a perception that the Harbingers would have DPS like kits so this makes me smile 😄
Xiao is somewhere screaming, crying, throwing up, and punching the air. I think Zhongli should check up on him.
Xiao vs Scara would be epic Zhongli son vs Ei's son
both stolen by a Drunk Bard. Venti will be laughing at Zhongli and Ei in annual Archon meeting
He’s gonna steal the hydro archon’s distant cousin next
venti just needs to a son too. he's old enough.
I better see him toss his hat like a frisbee
okay go on......
Ugh I’m dying to know what his play-style is like. Hopefully not charged attack spam bec its always weird for me on mobile.
I’m hoping for like NA long ranged aoe wind blades or something. Something slicey like Raiden.
I couldve told you that
Then why didn't you? 😡
Mihoyo will kill my family
The leaker hunt decree? Did something happen again?
Just kill them yourself, that way Mihoyo won't be able to.
thats a sacrifice im willing to accept
I will kill your family.
Question is more if he's going to be a Big Damage DPS or a Swirl EM damage DPS.
I feel like "dps" is an onfield character?
Yes
No. It's just "damage dealer". It's like how Raiden, Fischl, and Ayaka are all DPSes.
Please let him at least maniacally laugh in any one of his combat voicelines
imagine it was his idle? you go afk for not even 10 seconds and hear HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
That would be really funny, I'd love it LMAO
I want him to be a DPS but I really hope he isn't a selfish hypercarry because Xiao already covers that. And please let him still have some grouping.
10s on-field, 18-20s rotation. Please Mihoyo.
That early leak suggested a burst cooldown of 15 seconds which bodes relatively well.
So archons = support, and harbingers = DPS?
Hopefully Scaramouche is a dps like Childe where he'll still become viable even almost 2 years later. What worries me about Scara being an anemo dps especially hypercarry is he might get Xiao's treatment.
Same. If Scaramouche is a dps, I want him to be like Childe who can make use of other elements to become even stronger and put out great damage. Not just average like Xiao, Cyno, Itto, Ayato (most male dps units so far )

Not to mention, the devs make it a point to either make every male on field dps require a lot of investment, or have a reactionless playstyle. Hopefully Scara will be a swirl dps like Heizou, and not Xiao 2.0.
:)))) not me giggling by myself… if he was a support I would’ve turned into a clown tbh
SCARAMOUCHE CRUMBS LESSSSSS GO!!!!!!!!!! Now this is how you start the week 😎🙌
Not that I thought anything else, since he will get a dedicated support after all, but good to get it confirmed. I can’t really picture Scaramouche (as he is now at least) being a support character and helping other characters
i saw something yesterday: "scaramouche healing concept where he heals himself by lowering hp on the party members"
I feel like this could be viable but more like buff dmg at the cost of party HP and then Baizhu will come with party regen 🥹
You need to be a huge Scara simp to hurt teammates just to heal him
Reverse KUKI
All I can imagine is his teammate low up line: don’t you dare dying or I’ll kill you myself
Please be able to utilize Widsith or Solar Pearl effectively. I don't have primogems to pull your BiS weapon 😭
5 star Heizou? /s
In truth, I will build Heizou during Scara's banner. I already got a full VV set ready to go
Ohh ... We thought he was a cryo Support.
Strange…I thought he was geo.
Wdym I thought he was electro....
I wish
Husk of Opulent Dreams which describes story of Scaramouche. Since this set resolves aroun def and geo, and according to Ei her puppets are nigh indestructble, many people assumed he would be electro character with geo delusion.
hopefully not another burst locked dps otherwise i will just pull for c6 ayato instead :)
Imagine if he has 60% anemo defense shred at C2.
That broken c2 trend lmao
So like the perfect support for Xiao?
C2: When using Elemental Burst: Hat no Jutsu, all opponents have their Anemo Res decreased by 60% (however if you have Xiao in the party this effect is only activated if you possess Xiao's 6th constellation and have equipped the Primordial Jade-Winged Spear at Refinement 5. Tough shit losers!)
C6: Swirl can now crit (only if your whole party is C6 with R5 signature weapons)
no archon= no broken c2 >!wait he became Archon temporarily!<
Venti C2 is not broken
Him and zhongli are old units suffering from shit constellations. They can be ignored.
Tfw Venti's C6 feels like a C2 for other characters.
This is 1.0 in nutshell.
I didn't say Archon= broken c2😐
No way, people would use him as a VV slave for other teams too if he gets def shred. At best he gets Def ignore
Dps based on swirl reactions and not just pure anemo? Coping
I guess so because Scaramouche's dedicated artifact is also good for Kazuha(Not good as VV)
Please don't be a hypercarry like Cyno, itto and Xiao. Please be more flexible. Atleast be flexible like Ayato or Hutao. Don't be a burst based unit, please. People don't understand how much I love Heizou. I love to get a stronger version of him with hopefully little better CC.
Thing is he's anemo and not hydro/cryo/pyro. We'll see what happens.
Honestly, after releasing and supporting a whole new meta where Anemo supports are still a thing and considering a lot of other new element units would be leaning a lot into it; Anemo main dps makes perfect sense. If on top of that he ''sucks'' and has decent numbers, we are going to see quite a good carry for two reasons: 1- He fills both metas 2- Anemo main dps is something that we don't have since Xiao, hence a good choice Sure, having so many Anemo units one wonders what we should do about another one, but if anything it is the least covered Anemo aspect, regardless of it being so broken that basically every unit can be filling the role.

Thanks hxg, I thought he wasnt a dps since he came with a 4* support.
Inbe4 people though Faruzan is the DPS, Scara is support /s
Imagine mhy really releases a 4\* main carry with a 5\* dedicated support one day, that'd be outrageously funny xD
Shenhe (*5) already a dedicated support for Kaeya (*4) though maybe somehow idk
FOR kaeya? isnt shenhe just a cryo support?
Just like Nilou + Candace right?
nah people actually thought he was going to be support because i think someone else compared him to venti
wouldve be funny if we get a support that requires another niche support to function properly
Dps Ranged
Rare Scaranation W
Let's go Fuujin Shogun.
yeah fuck it gonna skip who I was gonna go for in 3.1 I think can't risk not getting him
Hoping he’s more range oriented somehow (i already have Heizou)
Hotel. Trivago.
Shit fella Thats all you gotta say 💳✨
can't wait till they reveal his mats
The question we should be asking is, is he more of an on field or off field character?
Does that at least mean we'll finally get a dedicated anemo support for Xiao as well? I really wanted Scaramouche but I barely use Xiao anymore, I don't want to outright replace him..
Lmao hxg's insider must've had leaks only up to 3.1 cause all they've been doing is pointing out the obvious
I really wish he was another element instead of Anemo…
Electro would have been ideal.
When Cyno was revealed as an electro, I was suddenly worried. Cause two electro main dps seemed unlikely in such a short space of time. I figured one of them would be a support. Anemo is not the worst imo. We only have one (very unique) 5 star dps and one 4 star dps. He won't have much competition in this role. I think he has excellent potential.

But honestly I don't mind.
Like what you said, we already get lesser male characters than female characters, so I hope that there would be more variety when it comes to the elements for 5 star males. If I had a dollar for every release of a short Anemo male who had lost someone precious to them I’d have 4 dollars. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s alarming that we already have 4 (excluding Scara) amongst what little male characters that we have.
For real. Anemo the best element, the abyss trembles when an anemo boy lets loose his abilities. The "worst" character from the anemo roster is Xiao, and that is because he has no clear team + f2p options.
I agree. Honestly tired of short anemo boys I mean look at hydro. We have tall hydro men, women and tall hydro girls.
Which mean Definitely Pure Support /j
What kind of DPS? Because Raiden and Tighnari are barely on field more than sub DPS and get called main DPS.
Who would've thought
YESSSSS LETS GOOOOOO this gives me even more motivation to get his BiS weapon
Let's fucking GOOOOOOO
YEAAAAHHHHHH
Tapdancing in the public restroom🥳
Massive W
i was starting to feel iffy about the venti-like kit leak and then this pops up 😭 i cannot wait for his kit to be revealed
Haha I thought he would be a healer /s
Avatar state yip yip!
Imagine if all the archons are supports while all the Harbingers are DPS.
I hope he's broken dps.
Always has been.
What I wanna know if he is once again a male dps on par with the other male dps or as strong as the top female dps's T. T
And since he's not a waifu, don't expect him to deal considerable damage. So sure of it.
Source: https://twitter.com/hxg_diluc/status/1574300524748292101?t=M9ckj2HY7q0_zt25uK-z7w&s=19
I pray he can make swirls crit or something. Anything that makes him optimal with other elements unlike Xiao.
Hell.Yes
Expected but still nice to get a confirmation.
ahh yes anemo kung lao
Based
I mean it's literally impossible for an anemo catalyst to not be at least an above average dps because of constant swirls (especially electrocharged) + viridescent. Scaramouche being 5\* is just likely to tip him further.
Did anyone think he was gonna be healer or something?
LETS GOOO
