Best Wanderer (Scaramouche) Build & Teams in Genshin Impact

The mysterious Wanderer in Genshin Impact is a 5-star Catalyst-wielding Anemo-user character making the most powerful Fatui in the game. He is, in fact, one of the eleven original Fatui Harbingers. So, it goes without saying that this Anemo character is indeed a powerful warrior.

Now no longer part of the Fatui regiment, the Wandered scours Teyyat in search of adventure and hopefully good company. The Wanderer is an adept skirmisher and his exploits are known throughout the Fatui community. Playing as the Wanderer in Genshin Impact can be an enthralling experience especially if you pick the right build.

So, here’s a walkthrough of the best Wanderer build in Genshin Impact and compatible teams.

Wanderer Playstyle Rundown

Wanderer is quite a versatile character with Anemo abilities which make him a great choice for a DPS build. Unlike fellow Anemo user Xiao, Wanderer focuses on single-target attacks. While this may render him somewhat benign in field battles, he is quite the pick for boss fights. He also has a fairly good range for his Charge attacks. This makes him all the more effective when teamed up with support characters capable of negating his shortcomings in terms of AoE damage.

Wanderer’s versatility is further bolstered by his ability to fly. He is indeed the best character to pick if you prefer to fly pretty much anywhere on the map since he is the only natural flyer in the game. Able to fly in any direction, the Wanderer can be a nightmare for enemies once you are airborne in battle.

Wanderer Strengths

  • His natural ability to fly allows him to access any part of Teyyat, that other characters may find difficult to navigate through.
  • Anemo Damage stats are considerably higher when attacking single targets.
  • When combined with AoE Anemo support characters, Wanderer can do considerable damage with Swirl.
  • Dodging is rewarding as he continues to do damage.
  • Has a high damage multiplier.
  • Long range allows him to attack targets from afar which can be quite useful considering his easy-to-approach combat style.

Wanderer Weaknesses

  • He is among the more fragile characters in the game with low health.
  • Is prone to stagger more than any other character in the game.
  • Does very little AoE damage when dealing with multiple targets.

It goes without saying that Wanderer is most suited for a DPS main character build that can make short work of boss fights. Being a catalyst wielder makes him quite powerful for DPS-based attacks. This combined with Anemo and the Swirl reaction, creates the ideal main character with a fair bit of ease in combat gameplay.

The ideal Wanderer DPS main build, however, will require extensive leveling up. You’ll have to unlock all talents to make the most of Wanderer in your Genshin playthrough. Here’s a rundown of all aspects of this Wanderer build that you’ll need to focus on.

Wanderer DPS Main Weapons

Weapon DescriptionStats and Buffs
Tallaytullah’s Remembrance Wanderer’s Signature weapon • Base Attack- 674
• Crit DMG of 44.1 %
• Normal Attack speed is increased considerably for each progressing refinement rank

Lost Prayer to the Sacred WindsUseful when engaged in battles for a prolonged period• Base Attack-608
• Crit Rate of 33.1
• Wanderer gains 8% elemental DMG bonus every 4 seconds which stack to a maximum of 4 yielding +32% after 16 seconds in battle
Kagura’s VerityHigh Crit DMG stat• Base Attack-608
• Crit DMG of 66.1 %
• Offers +12 additional max elemental damage DMG after three stacks
Solar PearlGood all-round weapon choice • Base Attack – 510
• Crit Rate 27.6%
• Elemental Skills and DMG are increased by 20% for 6 seconds after a normal attack hit

Wanderer Artifact Stats

  • Crit Rate: Invest in Crit rate early in the build to make the most of a DPS main Wanderer. A crit rate of 70% and above should create a powerful build.
  • Crit DMG: Along with Crit rate, Crit Damage needs to be prioritized equally. At least 160 Crit DMG is required to make the most out of the Wanderer’s weapon stats.
  • Energy Recharge: Wanderer has slow energy generation, so this is an important stat to invest in once you have leveled enough. Wanderer’s Energy bursts are quite powerful and you’ll need at least 130% to have enough bursts in each combat.

Given Wanderer’s versatility, he is suitable with most team compositions but the most ideal ones are the following

Character Compatible Buffs
Faruzan(Most compatible)Is a great offensive teammate who can boost normal Atk speed and damage.
Bennett(Most Compatible)Buffs attack stats and boost pyro swirl. Bennett is also a great healer.
Yun Jin (Offensive Option)Is a great offensive teammate who can boost normal Atk speed and damage.
