Scaramouche has always been massively popular, and many Travelers have long-awaited his turn as a playable character. To help this unique character reach his full potential, we have put together his best builds to make him the strongest Main DPS on your team.

Wanderer Best Builds & Artifact Sets

Wanderer is best suited to the role of a Main DPS, as he can deal a large amount of Anemo DMG and his Charged Attacks can have a wide Area of Effect. This character is best built around increasing his Anemo DMG Bonus as much as possible, as well as ATK due to his Passive Talent, ‘Gales of Reverie’, which allows him to fire four wind arrows that convert his ATK to Anemo DMG. Here is the best artifact set to pick for Wanderer.

4-Set Of Desert Pavilion Chronicle

A 2-Set of Desert Pavilion Chronicle will give Wanderer a boost of 15 percent to his Anemo DMG Bonus. When he equips a 4-Set, his Normal Attack SPD will increase by 10 percent and Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will increase by 40 percent for 15 seconds when a Charged Attack hits an opponent. Since Wanderer’s Normal and Charged Attacks are where he best utilizes his damage, this Artifact Set will give him a strong boost to these attacks and will increase his Anemo DMG significantly. When building your artifacts, here are the main stats and substats you should use.

When building Wanderer as an Anemo Main DPS, there are many stats you can use to increase his damage. CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG will always be an extremely useful stat to increase Wanderer’s damage, but you can also include Energy Recharge to keep his Elemental Burst available, or Elemental Mastery to increase the damage from his Swirl reactions. Elemental Mastery should only be focused on if you are wanting to create a team that mixes elements with Wanderer’s Swirl reactions, whereas the other stats should be your main focus if you want pure damage.

Wanderer’s Best 5-Star & 4-Star Weapons

There are quite a few options to choose from when picking the right weapon for Wanderer. If possible, your weapon should focus on CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, with ATK or Elemental Mastery being good back-up options. Here are the best 5-Star and 4-Star weapons that will pair well with Wanderer.

5-Star Weapons: Tulaytullah’s Remembrance & Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds

Tulaytullah’s Remembrance is the weapon designed for Wanderer, and works the best with his abilities. It will give him a base increase of 9.6 percent to CRIT DMG. Its Special Skill will increase Normal Attack SPD by 10 percent. Also, after Wanderer unleashes his Elemental Skill, Normal Attack DMG will increase by 4.8 percent every second for 14 seconds. After he hits an opponent with a Normal Attack during this time, Normal Attack DMG will increase by 9.6 percent, which can be triggered once every 0.3 seconds. The maximum Normal Attack DMG increase per duration of the overall effect is 48 percent. When Wanderer leaves the field, the effect will be removed and using the Elemental Skill again will reset all DMG buffs. This weapon is ideal for increasing the strength of Wanderer’s Normal Attacks, which are his bread and butter.

Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds will give a base increase of 7.2 percent to Wanderer’s CRIT Rate. Its Special Skill will increase movement SPD by 10 percent. When Wanderer is in battle, he will receive an increase of 8 percent to his Elemental DMG Bonus every 4 seconds. This has a maximum of 4 stacks, and will last until the Wanderer falls or leaves combat. This weapon is a great secondary option and is perfect for those who are wanting to increase Wanderer’s CRIT Rate. It will also consistently buff his Anemo DMG.

4-Star Weapons: The Widsith & Mappa Mare

When choosing the right 4-Star weapon, The Widsith will be your best option. This weapon gives a base increase of 12 percent to CRIT DMG. Its Special Skill will give Wanderer a random theme song for 10 seconds when he takes the field, which can only occur once every 30 seconds. The 3 themes songs include Recitative, where ATK is increased by 60 percent, Aria, where all Elemental DMG increases by 48 percent, and Interlude, where Elemental Mastery is increased by 240. This weapon will give Wanderer a solid overall increase to all of his important stats, including Elemental Mastery if you want to buff his Swirl Reactions.

For a Free-to-Play option, you should choose the Mappa Mare. This will give a base increase of 36 to his Elemental Mastery. Its Special Skill will give an 8 percent Elemental DMG Bonus for 10 seconds when Wanderer triggers an Elemental Reaction. This will have a maximum of 2 stacks. This weapon, though not as great as the others, will still give a solid boost to Wanderer’s Anemo DMG output, but will mostly focus on increasing the damage from his Swirl reactions with the increase to Elemental Mastery.
