Replacement Weapons	1. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds 2. The Widsith 3. Wandering Evenstar 4. Mappa Mare (F2P Option)
Best Artifacts	Viridescent Venerer x4

	Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Substats	CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge, ATK%, or Elemental Mastery
Recommended Energy Recharge	±130% Total Energy Recharge

This Wanderer build not only deals DMG through his Normal Attacks, but buffs other elements in the party through triggering Swirls. This build is a great alternative especially for teams that rely heavily on Elemental Reactions.

Wanderer (Scaramouche)'s Talent Priority

	Main DPS
1st	Normal Attack & Elemental Skill
2nd	Elemental Burst

All of the Wanderer's talents should be upgraded as he can manage to use all of them to deal a lot of DMG. His Normal Attacks and Elemental Skill should be prioritized first as they are the main source of his DPS.

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Best Artifacts

Wanderer (Scaramouche)'s Best Artifact Ranked

	Artifact	Artifact Bonuses
Best	Desert Pavilion Chronicle	2-PC: Anemo DMG Bonus +15% 4-PC: When Charged Attacks hit opponents, the equipping character's Normal Attack speed will increase by 10% while Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will increase by 40% for 15s.
2nd	Viridescent Venerer	2-PC: Anemo DMG Bonus +15% 4-PC: Increases Swirl DMG by 60%. Decreases opponent's Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s.
3rd	Desert Pavilion Chronicle	2-PC: Anemo DMG Bonus +15%
	Viridescent Venerer	2-PC: Anemo DMG Bonus +15%

Desert Pavilion Chronicle set is Wanderer's best artifact. Because the bulk of his DMG come from his Normal and Charged Attacks, this artifact set greatly increases Wanderer's performance as an Anemo Main DPS!

Using the Viridescent Venerer is a good alternative especially if you use the Wanderer on teams that focus on Swirl reactions. However, using Viridescent lowers his own personal DMG.

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Best Teams

Best Team Comps for Wanderer (Scaramouche)

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Main DPS Teams
Shielded	Double Pyro
Electro-Charged	Mono Anemo

Because of Wanderer's flexibility to be slotted into multiple team comps due to his ascension passive, you will either want a mix of two different elements of Pyro, Cryo, Electro, or Hydro, or another Anemo that can support him.

Most of the his teams require either Faruzan or Bennett as their abilities to increase Anemo DMG and ATK respectively will greatly benefit his DPS.

Best Team Comps

Shielded Wanderer (Scaramouche) Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Bennett	Thoma
Wanderer	Faruzan	Bennett	Zhongli

Because of his below average resistance to interruption when floating, having Wanderer be protected with a shield is an option to ease this worry, but you will need Faruzan and Bennett to cover the lack of DPS from the shielders.

Double Pyro Wanderer (Scaramouche) Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Xiangling	Bennett
Wanderer	Xingqiu	Xiangling	Bennett

Use Faruzan and Bennett's Elemental Bursts to buff the Wanderer's ATK and Anemo DMG. Xiangling can provide additional off-field DPS that compliment well with Wanderer's Normal Attacks.

You can also replace Faruzan with Xingqiu or Yelan for a Standard Vaporize team composition.

Electro-Charged Wanderer (Scaramouche) Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Yelan	Shinobu
Wanderer	Fischl	Beidou	Kokomi

Focus on Swirling both Electro and Hydro to trigger multiple bouts of Electro-Charged reactions. You can choose either Fischl for DMG and particle generation or Shinobu for healing and survivability.

Mono Anemo Wanderer (Scaramouche) Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Jean	Bennett

If you want to focus on increasing his personal DMG, this team focuses on buffing and dealing as much Anemo DMG as possible. This is recommended if your Jean is at C4.

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Best Constellations

C2 and C4 are Recommended

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C2	★★☆	• Strengthens Elemental Burst DMG depending on the number of Kuugoryoku Points.
C6	★★★	• Increased Kuugo: Fushoudan DMG. • Easier Kuugoryoku Point management.

C0 is Good Enough for the Wanderer

While the constellations improve overall DMG, the Wanderer does not need them for him to be an outstanding Main DPS.

How to Use Wanderer (Scaramouche)'s Talents

Normal Attack: Yuuban Meigen

Use Wanderer's Wind Blades to perform ranged normal attacks! His Normal Attack talents cover a wide area, perfect for triggering multiple Swirl reactions. On the other hand, his Charged Attacks target an enemy to deal AoE Anemo DMG to anyone that surrounds it.

Normal Attack Talent Description

Talent Description
Performs up to three wind blades dealing Anemo DMG. Charge Attack Consumes stamina to unleash a build-up of high wind pressure, dealing Anemo DMG. Plunge Attack: Calling upon the power of Anemo, the Wanderer plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in his path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.

Elemental Skill - Hanega: Song of the Wind

Upon using the Wanderer's Elemental Skill, he will momentarily deal Anemo damage before hovering above ground. He can maneuver up, sidewards, or forward, but he cannot descend.

Once mid-air the Wanderer also enters the Windfavored state and will consequently become unable to do plunging attacks.

Improved aerial normal and charged attacks

While he's in the Windfavored state, his Normal and Charged Attacks will be converted into Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai respectively. Simply put, the DMG these attacks deal and their AoE is increased.

Their DMG will be considered Normal and Charged Attack DMG respectively. Also, Kuugo: Toufukai will not consume Stamina, and he can remain hovering for a certain duration.

Limited points to consume

While hovering, the Wanderer will consume the Kuugoryoku Points to maintain it. If he sprints in midair, this will become his alternate sprint.

If you jump in this state, it will expend points to climb higher. Holding jump will cause persistent point consumption to keep increasing hovering height.

Elemental Skill Talent Description

Talent Description
Deals Anemo DMG momentarily after which the Wanderer hovers midair. He then enters Windfavored state, converting his normal and charged attacks to Kuugo: Fushoudan and Toufukai, respectively. Flavor Text: The world dances in a weightless whirl, presenting a secret that can only be found in the flowers.

Elemental Skill - Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays

The Wanderer's Elemental Burst stomps a compressed air to the enemies, which deals five devastating instances of Anemo AoE DMG. If the Wanderer is in the hovering state after using his Burst, his hovering state will promptly end.

Elemental Burst Talent Description

Talent Description
Compresses a vacuum of Anemo ball that deals multiple instances of Anemo upon contact. If Wanderer uses his burst while in the Windfavored state, Windfavored will end immediately. Flavor Text: Bright be the narrowed gaze of the sky, casting its sight on dreams both past and present, like radiance washing over dust on the winds.

Wanderer Passive Talents

Jade-Claimed Flower

The Wanderer can absorb two elements at once during his Elemental Skill if it comes in contact with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro. These elements will give Scaramouche buff effects depending on the contact element.

Element	Effect
Hydro	Kuugoryoku Point cap increases by 20.
Cryo	CRIT Rate increases by 20%.
Pyro	ATK increases by 30%.
Electro	When Normal and Charged Attacks hit an opponent, 0.8 Energy will be restored. Energy can be restored this way once every 0.2s.

Gales of Reverie

When Wanderer is in a hovering state, if his normal or charged attack hits an enemy, there is a chance to gain a buff that allows him to sprint midair without consuming points. This buff effect will also fire wind arrows to attack the enemy.

You can hear the proc when you hear a very distinct bell sound.

Strum the Swirling Winds

The Wanderer can decrease the Mora required when ascending Bows and Catalysts by 50%!
