Genshin Impact Wanderer Talents and Playstyle
Wanderer hails from the Anemo Element which is pretty much a stand-alone element when it comes to dealing damage. like his counterpart Anemo damage dealers, Wanderer has access to strong damage multiplier talents which allows him to deal high raw damage. Since Wanderer can’t proc elemental reaction, he is reliant on his Supports to amplify his damage. He hovers around in the air after using his elemental skill and can continuously spam his changed attack without using any stamina.
Skill and Burst Talent
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Hanega: Song of the Wind (Skill) | Deals Anemo DMG momentarily after which the Wanderer hovers midair. He then enters the Windfavored state, converting his normal and charged attacks to Kuugo: Fushoudan and Toufukai, respectively. |
| Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays (Burst) | Compresses a vacuum of Anemo ball that deals multiple instances of Anemo upon contact. If Wanderer uses his burst while in the Windfavored state, Windfavored will end immediately. |
Passive Talent
Jade-Claimed Flower: Hanega: Song of the Wind will gain different buffs depending on the element it Swirled. This buff can occur two times simultaneously.
Gales of Reverie: During his Windfavored state, the Wanderer has a chance of gaining another buff effect.
Strum the Swirling Winds: The Wanderer can decrease the Mora required when ascending Bows and Catalysts by 50%.
Constellations
While Wanderer is a strong character at his base constellation, he does have access to some strong constellations that noticeably boost his damage by a lot. His C6 is a significant boost this damage and C2 is also really good for an early constellation.
| 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%.

|---|---|
| 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. The 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.

| 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. |
Best Artifact sets for Scaramouche in Genshin Impact
1. 4-Piece set Desert Pavilion Chronicle
The latest artifact set from the summer dessert is the best-in-slot artifact for Wanderer. The artifact was made with his whole kit in mind it offers a significant boost in damage for Wanderers Charge, Normal, and Plunge attacks with its 4-Piece set bonus.
| Set | Set Bonus |
| Desert Pavilion Chronicle | 2-Piece: Anemo DMG Bonus +15% 4-Piece: 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 |
2. 4-piece Viridescent Venerer
The 4 piece VV artifact set is widely considered to be one of the best artifacts in Genshin Impact. While Dessert Pavilion excels when Wanderer is on-field DPS, the VV set is best when you have strong off-field sub-DPS who can use the resistance shred from the VV artifact set.
| Set | Set Bonus |
| Viridescent Venerer | 2-Piece: Anemo DMG Bonus +15% 4-Piece: Increases Swirl DMG by 60%. Decreases opponent’s Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s. |
3. 2 piece Dessert Pavilion + 2 Virdescent Vinerer
The raw 30% Anemo Damage boost from both of these artifact sets works surprisingly well and outperforms other attack stats artifact if you already have a good attack bonus from your support character.
