My main hope right now is that Siegwinne(or hell anyone) is a Hydro/Team Healer/Shielder.

along with the supposed other 4.3 healer focused artifact, my sole hope is to break free from Zhong Li/Bennet that some teams use, especially teams that cannot use Bennett’s C6 (e.g Wanderer Standard)

I have a feeling that Wanderer/Faruzan/Flex/Flex can be filled with Furina/Hydro Team Healer, or just any team that may happen to use both Zhong Li and Bennett because of a few things, first to point out what Zhong Li and Bennett offer that needs to be “replaced” for a new pair to be viable:

Zhong Li: Top in class shield when using ult, and can generate normal crystalize shields 20% Res Shred and to a lesser extent, petrify(not vital but nice to have)

Bennett: Single Target Healing Bonus based on Base attack Pyro Infusion for sword claymore polearm + 15% pyro damage

Both: Benefit from Geo or Pyro Resonance if other party members are that element

What Furina + Hydro Shielder/healer offer

Furina: Top in class Damage % buff to party okayish hydro application that chases

Hypothetical Hydro Healer Shielder: Shield Team Heal (if supposed healing accessory is real) Overheal > buffs possible more hydro application

Both: Guaranteed 25% max HP due to Hydro resonance (which buffs Furinas damage, as well as rest of party can live longer/dont die to furinas ability as easily).

In the core of Wanderer standard, I do hope Wanderer/Faruzan/Furina/Hydro HealShield becomes the new standard, as Geo/Bennett is extremely poor for anemo swirl (anemo+geo does nothing, wanderer is catalyst and does not receive bennett c6 bonuses) which essentially bets on that Furina Damage % + Hydro Heal/Shield overheal to buff + more swirls is a higher damage increase than res shred + Bennett base attack bonus + minor pyro swirl from bennett.

This of course does not only affect wanderer, but it becomes a major option for any Catalyst or Bow based main DPS that does not benefit from Bennett’s c6, especially anemo due to no infusion + does nothing with geo. Bennett’s time in the spotlight should now be shared
