Travelers are given both the female and male model mannequins after completing the requirements, and their entire appearance from hair and facial features to their outfits can be customized!

List of Outfits

Can Be Added to Party Lineup

Genshin - Manekin character level

The Manekin can also be added to your party lineup and brought along to explore Teyvat. They function as their own unit, and can be used with your characters while exploring and questing in the Overworld.

This Manekin functions as a Sword character that can cycle between multiple elements that are tied to the Traveler's active element.

List of All Sword Characters

Change Manekin Element by Changing Traveler Element

Genshin - Manekin Element

The Manekin's active element is tied to the Traveler's own, so changing the Traveler's element reflects on both characters.

Simply head over to a Statue of the Seven from the respective Region whose element you want for the Manekin and Resonate with the Statue to change both the Traveler and the Manekin's element.

Character Scales With Wonderland Level

Genshin - Manekin Level coincides with Wonderland Level

The Manekin's character level corresponds to your Wonderland Level in Miliastra Wonderland, meaning you can unlock their ascension levels without having to ascend them manually.

However, because of this, their progression and power is locked entirely to your progress in Miliastra Wonderland, making them sub-optimal without enough investment into Miliastra Wonderland itself.

How to Increase Wonderland Level

Cannot be Used in Endgame Modes

It was also noted that the Manekin cannot be used in Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, and Stygian Onslaught.

Manekin/Manekina Best Builds

Built Similar to Traveler

As the manifestation of the Traveler's Will, they also embody the Traveler's physical stats and scalings, meaning their role in a team is that of an Elemental DPS or Sub-DPS.

With this in mind, the best build for the Manekin is a generalist build that utilizes Energy Recharge and an overall damage build.

Flex DPS/Sub-DPS

Best Weapon
Replacement Weapons
Best Artifacts
Artifact Main Stats
Genshin - HourglassSands: ATK% or Elemental Mastery
Genshin - GobletGoblet: Elemental DMG% or Elemental Mastery
Genshin - CircletCirclet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK, Elemental Mastery

Depending on the element used, the Goblet can be interchangeable with the Manekin's element, or can also be Elemental Mastery if the Manekin can benefit from it. With that in mind, your Goblet should be the off-piece to make swapping consistently easy.

The Sands and Circlet can be standard ATK% or Elemental Mastery, and CRIT stats respectively in order to round out the build.

Manekin/Manekina Goal Stat Values

Stat Goal Value
Energy Recharge 150 - 200% (Generally)
CRIT Rate 50 ~ 60%
CRIT DMG 120% or above
ATK 1,800 or above
Elemental Mastery 50 - 100 (Generalist)
300 - 500 or above (EM-based)

The Manekin/Manekina's stat requirements differ between elements, but building them in general comes down to getting a good mix of stats, with emphasis on Energy Recharge to have their Elemental Bursts ready when needed.

Apart from the CRIT stats, which should sit at a healthy 1:2 CRIT ratio, ATK and Elemental Mastery can be interchanged in terms of priority depending on the element and depending on the Manekin's use case in the Overworld.

Manekin/Manekina Talent Priority

1st 2nd 3rd
Elemental Burst Elemental Skill Normal Attack

Due to how most of the Manekin's abilities work, leveling your Elemental Burst ends up making the most impact as that sees the most change in the Manekin's kit.

Afterwards, level your Elemental Skill as that will increase the chip damage that the Manekin can do in their different elements. Normal Attacks can either be saved for last or ignored as the Manekin is mostly an Elemental DMG dealer.

Manekin/Manekina Best Artifacts

Emblem of Severed Fate Works In General

Due to the Manekin being a universal flex unit, Emblem of Severed Fate works the best for them as a 4-pc. Artifact Set due to it increasing the power of their Elemental Burst as well as offering Energy Recharge boons.

As an alternative, supportive sets like Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City or Noblesse Oblige can be beneficial for the Manekin as they are a Burst-oriented and Elemental reaction-based character.

Best Artifacts Ranked

Artifact Artifact Bonuses

List of Artifacts and Set Bonuses

Manekin/Manekina Best Weapons

ER or CRIT Weapons Are Best

Since the Manekin is a universal Elemental DPS, stacking them with Energy Recharge or CRIT weapons works as a general rule of thumb for getting them set up for combat.

In most cases, Favonius Sword will do as the generalist option for getting them enough ER to use their Elemental Burst off-cooldown.

I've been playing around with my manekin as anemo driver. VV, Xiphos' Moonlight, and as much EM as possible (unless freeze team, then atk/anemo/crit works). It allows me to use them on field in so many different teams. I just had a great fight vs The Knave using a comfy team of Ineffa, Furina, C1 Baizhu and anemo manekin. Lunar Bloom with some hyperbloom on the side. Easy max stacks on Furina, easy overheals vs Knave's debt, and facing off in style with my manekin on field much of the time.
