Wanderer's Strengths and Weaknesses

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Best Builds

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Main DPS Builds

Standard Anemo DPS Build

Best Weapon	Tulaytullah's Remembrance
Replacement Weapons	1. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds 2. The Widsith 3. Ballad of the Boundless Blue 4. Mappa Mare (F2P Option)
Best Artifacts	Desert Pavilion Chronicle x4 Shimenawa's Reminiscence x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Artifact Substats	CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge, ATK%
Recommended Energy Recharge	±120% Total Energy Recharge
Sample Teams	Hyper: Taser:

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.

Marechaussee Hunter DPS Build

Best Weapon	Cashflow Supervision
Replacement Weapons	1. Tulaytullah's Remembrance 2. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds 3. The Widsith 4. Blackcliff Agate
Best Artifacts	Marechaussee Hunter x4
Main Stats	Sands: ATK% or Elemental Mastery
	Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT DMG
Substats	CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Energy Recharge, ATK%, or Elemental Mastery
Recommended Energy Recharge	±130% Total Energy Recharge
Sample Teams	Hyper:

Wanderer is a viable user of Marechaussee Hunter when paired with Furina, giving him higher damage potentials and allowing him to forego some CRIT Rate for more CRIT DMG.

When Wanderer is running this build, Cashflow Supervision becomes his best-in-slot, overtaking Tulaytullah's Remembrance if Wanderer's HP consistently increases and decreases.

Wanderer (Scaramouche)'s Talent Priority

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	Shimenawa's Reminiscence	2-PC: ATK +18%. 4-PC: When casting an Elemental Skill, if the character has 15 or more Energy, they lose 15 Energy and Normal/Charge/Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 50% for 10s. This effect will not trigger again during that duration.
3rd	Marechaussee Hunter	2-PC: Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15% 4-PC: When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks.

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 Shimenawa's Reminiscence can achieve a similar effect to Desert Pavilion, but at the cost of some of his energy. Marechaussee Hunter is also a viable and powerful option if Wanderer is paired with an HP-draining ally like Furina.

CRIT Weapons are Best

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.

Best Free-to-Play Weapon for Wanderer (Scaramouche)

Weapon	Weapon Information
Mappa Mare	Base ATK: 565 Bonus Stat: Elemental Mastery 110 Skill Effect: Triggering an Elemental reaction grants a 8% Elemental DMG Bonus for 10s. Max 2 stacks.

Mappa Mare is a good F2P Alternative

If you have yet to pull any of the best weapons in the gacha, you can go with the craftable Mappa Mare as a temporary weapon. It's Elemental DMG bonus and Elemental Mastery benefits the Wanderer in Swirl teams.

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Best Teams

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Team Building

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.

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.

Wanderer Hypercarry Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Jean	Bennett
Wanderer	Faruzan	Yun Jin	Bennett
Wanderer	Faruzan	Furina	Bennett

Due to being an Anemo unit with Faruzan as a premier support, Wanderer is able to function as a hypercarry when given proper units to work with.

The third members of each team provide different potencies to their buffs, with C4 Jean decreasing Anemo resistance, Yun Jin providing Normal Attack damage, and Furina giving an overall damage buff.

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Best Constellations

C2 and C6 are Recommended

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.

Wanderer's Constellations and Effects

Peregrinus
	Wanderer's Constellations
C1	Shoban: Ostentatious Plumage When in the Windfavored state, the Attack SPD of the Wanderer’s Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai is increased by 10%. Additionally, the wind arrows fired by the Passive Talent ''Gales of Reverie'' will deal an additional 25% of his ATK as DMG. You must unlock the Passive Talent ''Gales of Reverie'' first.
C2	Niban: Isle Amidst White Waves When in the Windfavored state, Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays will see its DMG increased by 4% per point of difference between the max amount of Kuugoryoku Points contrasted with Kuugoryoku’s present capacity when using this skill. Through this method, you can increase Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays’' DMG by a maximum of 200%.
C3	Sanban: Moonflower Kusemai Increases the Level of Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Yonban: Set Adrift into Spring When casting Hanega: Song of the Wind, should the Passive Talent ''Jade-Claimed Flower'' be triggered, the character will gain buffs in correspondence to the contacted Elemental Type(s), and also obtain a random untriggered buff. A maximum of 3 such corresponding elemental buffs can exist simultaneously. You must unlock the Passive Talent ''Jade-Claimed Flower'' first.
C5	Matsuban: Ancient Illuminator From Abroad Increases the Level of Hanega: Song of the Wind by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Shugen: The Curtains’ Melancholic Sway When the Wanderer actively hits an opponent with Kuugo: Fushoudan while in the Windfavored state, the following effects will occur: • Deals an additional instance of Kuugo: Fushoudan at the position hit, dealing 40% of the attack’s original DMG. This DMG will be considered Normal Attack DMG. • When the Wanderer falls below 40 Kuugoryoku Points, restores 4 Points to him. Kuugoryoku Points can be restored in this manner once every 0.2s. This restoration can occur up to 5 times within one Windfavored duration.

Wanderer (Scaramouche) Talents and How to Use

Normal Attack

Normal Attacks are Main Source of Damage

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.

Elemental Skill

Allows Wanderer to Fly

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 Burst

Anemo Burst Damage

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.

Passive Talent 1

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.

Passive Talent 2

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.

Passive Talent 3

Strum the Swirling Winds

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

Character Thoughts About Wanderer

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Nahida	About The Balladeer When he finally achieved the ambition he thought he'd been pursuing all along, was he content at last, or only emptier still? We only yearn for the skies because we cannot fly... Hmm, perhaps he should reflect on this once he has held the sheer emptiness of the skies in his grasp.
Raiden	About Kunikuzushi He came about as a byproduct of creating the Shogun. Perhaps it's because I feel like I owe him something, but I do not wish to assert control over him.
Sethos	Who is that guy, anyway? A foreign exchange student, or something? He has a pretty incredible hat, never seen anything like it. I tried to get a closer look once, but then I, blinked and he was gone. Shame. I won't let him get away next time, though. I also hear he has some pretty interesting ideas... Gotta have a chat with him sometime!
Tartaglia	About The Balladeer After he took the Gnosis, we lost all contact with him. Now comes the task of trying to hunt it down and get it back... I actually don't mind it — it means I get to travel all over. Wonder if I'll run into you somewhere along the way?
Yae Miko	About Kunikuzushi I thought it was a disaster waiting to happen at the time, but she insisted that she wasn't going to lift a finger against the object of her own creation. Had I known how things would unfold, I would have simply disposed of it without her knowing. Hmm? What about now? Hehe... Well, we're no longer waiting for the disaster to happen, are we?

Wanderer's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Arlecchino	About The Knave A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self... have gone poof.
Capitano	About The Captain "The ever-righteous Captain," "the brave and fearless Captain," "the nigh-invincible Captain"... Even my mechanical ears demand maintenance after listening to so many compliments from the members of the Fatui. Don't-you think that possessing absolute righteousness is actually a latent danger? And that's without taking his great personal strength into account.
Columbina	About Damsellette If you were to encounter a "damsel" who is oblivious and innocent at any given time, and unconcerned and unfeeling in any given situation? If it were me, I could at least challenge her to a fight. But if it were you... with your conscience, I would stay away from her.
Dottore	About The Doctor It's a pity that Lesser Lord Kusanali already forced him to erase so many of his segments. The joy I would have derived from slicing them apart one by one...
Kazuha	About Kazuha You speak of the descendant of the Kaedehara clan? Then isn't he... Wait, he also possesses an Anemo Vision? ...And even managed to take on the Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi? Hehe... Ahahahaha!
La Signora	About La Signora Nothing remained in her ashes. I have no interest in those who have lost their future.
Nahida	About Lesser Lord Kusanali While I still had value as a pawn, she might have had other reasons to keep me alive. It's certainly possible that it was because she's wise or benevolent, or happened to see a hint of loneliness within me... You think I'm trying to think the worst of her? Hah, did you really expect anything else? In case you've forgotten, I'm no saint.
Pantalone	About Pantalone Oh, the ninth-ranked guy. He's obsessed with the idea of "fair exchange," to the point of wanting to overthrow the natural imbalance between gods and humans. But, I guess it's just how ordinary mortals are like — it's easy for them to come up with pointless delusions. Honestly, it's nothing worth writing home about, just like how there's also nothing impressive about his abilities or choice of partner. Hmph. Anyone who chooses to work closely with The Doctor is sure to meet a nasty end.
Pierro	About The Jester The Jester is a survivor of Khaenri'ah. Besides that singular fact, I know very little about him, and have never had any kind of close association with him. He seems to want something from me, though. In the past, he assigned to me many important tasks, including a number of trips to the Abyss.
Pulcinella	About The Rooster Only someone as dense as Childe would think The Rooster is looking after him and his family out of the goodness of his heart. Although the mayor has indeed done a number of things for their benefit, anyone with a brain would be able to tell that the underlying meaning is "your entire family is in my hands."
Raiden	About Raiden Shogun She completely neglected her own creation, and to add insult to injury, she said it was because she "couldn't bring herself to intervene" in my fate...
Sandrone	About Marionette She has a terrible personality and cares for nothing outside of her own research. But even with that amount of dedication, she still produced a copious amount of garbage, and could only secure a ranking that's still one whole place beneath my own. How pitiful.
Sethos	About Sethos What makes you think I know him? The fact that he's always following me around and asking for a closer look at my hat? We've barely spoken before. The first time we me he came up and asked me if I was Hat Guy. Last time I checked, judging someone by their appearance is superficial. Hmph, somehow, everyone knows the name ''Hat Guy'' now...
Tartaglia	About Tartaglia He's simple of mind and not that strong of body. Naming him to the lowest-ranked seat lowered the Harbingers' collective prestige. Thankfully, I'm no longer part of that group.
Tsaritsa	About The Tsaritsa Everyone praises her for her kindness and benevolence, but they forget that love is also a form of sin. What if she's just trying to compensate for something?
Yae Miko	About Yae Miko A smooth-talking youkai. Though she pretends to care about humans to gain the favor of her god, all she seeks are entertaining ways to pass her time.
