Wanderer's Weaknesses |
• Low Base DMG without buffs or reactions. • Low Base HP and DEF. • No resistance to interruption. • Even when floating, Wanderer can still get hit by attacks. • Recommended to have at least one shielder or healer in any team comp to avoid unnecessary dodging. |

The Wanderer (Scaramouche)'s best DPS build uses the Desert Pavilion artifact set with Anemo DMG and CRIT stats for maximum damage.
Ideally, you would want at least 120% Energy Recharge plus another Anemo character in the party to be able to use the Wanderer's Elemental Burst often.

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.
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.

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.

Like most Main DPS characters, any weapon that increases the Wanderer (Scaramouche)'s CRIT stats would be best to increase his own personal DMG. His signature weapon, Tulaytullah's Remembrance, complements this.

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Main DPS Teams | |
---|---|
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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. |
Attribute | Effect (Lvl 1) |
---|---|
1-Hit DMG | 68.70% |
2-Hit DMG | 65.0% |
3-Hit DMG | 47.6% + 47.6% |
Charged Attack DMG | 132.10% |
Charged Attack Stamina Cost | 50 |
Plunge DMG | 56.8% |
Low/High Plunge DMG | 114%/142% |
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
