Wanderer, also known as Scaramouche, is a 5-star Anemo Main DPS in Genshin Impact. He is a Catalyst user who specializes in dealing significant Anemo DMG with his Normal Attacks. Moreover, he can also fly around with his Elemental Skill, which protects him from incoming melee attacks and provides him with a lot of mobility. This also makes him a great character for overworld exploration. Here is your Genshin Impact Wanderer build guide explaining how to play him with information about his best weapons, artifacts, and team comps.

The Wanderer, or Scaramouche, is one of the central characters of the Sumeru arc of the game. He was previously a Fatui Harbinger who switched sides after being defeated by Nahida and Traveler during the Archon Quest. In his playable form, he is a formidable Main DPS character in Genshin Impact. You can use him to hover around the map and deal significant AoE Anemo DMG to enemies while mid-air. While the Wanderer’s damage output may seem lackluster by today’s standards, he is still quite fun to play with and can complete most endgame challenges when paired with proper teammates.

How to Play Wanderer

Here’s how to efficiently use Wanderer in the games:

  1. Use the abilities of all your Sub-DPS and Support characters, and then switch to Wanderer.
  2. Cast the Elemental Skill to hover mid-air and gain Kuugoryoku Points.
  3. Begin attacking the enemies with Normal and Charged Attacks.
  4. When the Kuugoryoku Points are about to run out, ending your flight, use Elemental Burst to deal significant AoE DMG.

Should you pull Wanderer?

Yes, Wanderer is definitely an amazing character to have, especially for exploration. He will let you easily traverse the terrain of Teyvat, flying over tricky areas. Moreover, his personal damage is also quite decent. If you aren’t too meta-oriented and are looking for a fun Anemo DPS to play with, Scaramouch is the way to go.

For the best Wanderer build, it is recommended that you use his signature 5-star weapon, Tulaytullah’s Remembrance. It synergizes well with his kit and provides the best damage output. Other than that, there are also many other Catalysts that you can use:

Best Team Comps for Wanderer Build in Genshin Impact

When it comes to building a strong Wanderer team, two 4-star characters are essential: Faruzan and Bennett. While the former is the premier support for Anemo characters and can considerably increase their damage output, the latter is an excellent healer and ATK stat buffer. Apart from these two, you have several options for the fourth slot. Let’s take a look at the best candidates for the role in the current meta:
