Wanderer
Wanderer is a delightfully mobile Anemo main DPS: floating in the air makes dodging easy, and his single-target damage sits near the top. But he's team-hungry — he practically needs Faruzan to shine, and Bennett plus Furina push him sky-high. Farm 4pc Desert Pavilion Chronicle, keep a 1:2 CRIT ratio, and if you lack his signature, The Widsith or Solar Pearl fill in nicely. If you already own Faruzan he's a great investment; if not, plan to pull both.

Teams for Wanderer
Wanderer's talents
Yuuban Meigen
Performs up to 3 attacks using wind blades, dealing Anemo DMG.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina, gathers a build up of high wind pressure, and deals AoE Anemo DMG after a short casting time.
Plunging Attack
Calling upon the power of Anemo, the Wanderer plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in his path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.
Hanega: Song of the Wind
Windfavored
The Wanderer cannot perform Plunging Attacks in this state. When he uses Normal and Charged Attacks, they will be converted into Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai respectively; the DMG they deal and their AoE will be increased, and their DMG will be considered Normal and Charged Attack DMG respectively. Kuugo: Toufukai will not consume Stamina.
The Wanderer will hover persistently during this time. While this state is active, the Wanderer's movements gain the following properties:
·Persistently consumes Kuugoryoku Points to maintain this hovering state.
·When sprinting, additional Kuugoryoku Points will be consumed for the Wanderer to accelerate mid-air. Holding sprint will cause persistent Kuugoryoku Point consumption to maintain speed. This effect will replace his default sprint.
·Jumping expends extra Kuugoryoku Points to increase hovering height. Holding jump will cause persistent Kuugoryoku Point consumption to keep increasing hovering height.
Running out of Kuugoryoku Points will end the Windfavored state.
A second cast during the duration of Windfavored will also end it.
"The world dances in a weightless whirl, presenting a secret that can only be found in the flowers."
Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays
If the character is in the Windfavored state due to the skill "Hanega: Song of the Wind," Windfavored state will end after casting.
"Bright be the narrowed gaze of the sky, casting its sight on dreams both past and present, like radiance washing over dust on the winds."
Jade-Claimed Flower
·Hydro: Kuugoryoku Point cap increases by 20.
·Pyro: ATK increases by 30%.
·Cryo: CRIT Rate increases by 20%.
·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.
You can have up to 2 different kinds of these buffs simultaneously.
Gales of Reverie
For each Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai that does not produce this effect, the next attack of those types will have a 12% increased chance of producing it. The calculation of the effect production is done once every 0.1s.
Strum the Swirling Winds
Combat Rotation
- Before using the Elemental Skill (E), have supports apply Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro to the enemy first.
- Cast Hanega: Song of the Wind (E) for AoE Anemo damage and to launch Wanderer into the Windfavored state; contacting the element from step 1 triggers the matching Jade-Claimed Flower buff.
- While Windfavored, prioritize spamming the charged attack Kuugo: Toufukai as your main damage source, weaving in Kuugo: Fushoudan normal attacks to dodge.
- Keep dashing/jumping in the air to consume and refill Kuugoryoku Points, staying airborne as long as possible.
- Watch your Kuugoryoku Points as they run low so you can time the Burst before falling out of the state.
- Unleash Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays (Q, costs 60 Energy, 15s cooldown) for wide AoE Anemo damage and to end Windfavored on your own terms.
- Recast E (6s cooldown) to re-enter Windfavored and repeat the loop, coordinating elemental application continuously to keep the buff active.
Wanderer constellations
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 Ascension Talent "Gales of Reverie" will deal an additional 25% of his ATK as DMG. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "Gales of Reverie."
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's DMG by a maximum of 200%.
Increases the Level of Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When casting Hanega: Song of the Wind, should the Ascension 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 first unlock the Ascension Talent "Jade-Claimed Flower."
Increases the Level of Hanega: Song of the Wind by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
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.

Voice Lines & Comments
Birthday
Give me your hand. Heh, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just taking you to a vantage point. How is it? The scenery here should be quite breathtaking. There's no need to thank me — I see little point in it.
Self-Introduction
Hello
You want me to introduce myself? I've gone by many names and titles during my journey. Although each one is more eminent than any ordinary mortal could imagine, they're all just water under the bridge to me now. Call me whatever you like. Go ahead, let me see what you can come up with. Don't disappoint me.
About Wanderer: Puppet
A puppet consumed by a raging fire will leave behind ashes. As for what will emerge from them...
About Wanderer: Heart
I'll leave that kind of thing to fate. Obsessing over something that's destined to be ever out of one's reach is just a waste of time. I have more important things to attend to at the moment.
More About Wanderer: I
You want to learn more about me? How ridiculous. Don't you know that's only asking for trouble?
More About Wanderer: II
Oh, I'm well aware that many, many people will want to seek me out and settle the grudges they've built against me in my past life. Fine by me — come one, come all, I say. As a matter of fact, I'm somewhat looking forward to it.
More About Wanderer: III
I once thought that deification would allow me to get rid of all of my pointless emotions, but I've since abandoned that view. Anger, whether it be from others or myself, is too convenient and useful as a tool. How can some people just never become angry? I find that impossible to even imagine. Do they just not have a single mean bone in their bodies?
More About Wanderer: IV
When I entered Irminsul, there was only one thought in my mind: I wish I'd never been born at all. Irminsul responded to my wish, but didn't bring me the outcome I desired. The fate of this world hasn't changed a single bit when it comes to playing cruel tricks on its prisoners.
More About Wanderer: V
You and I have crossed paths in the past, but our journeys will eventually diverge. Who knows what will happen next? Let's just wait and see.
About Us: Rivals
So, you're still stewing over our run-ins from before? Huh. Well, what are you going to do about it? Take your time. I'm in no hurry.
About Us: Collaborators
I'll never be one of the good guys. I'm just here to pay my dues after what you've done for me. But what about you? Shouldn't you come up with some excuse for our meetings? If one of your friends mistakes you for collaborating with the enemy, you're on your own.
Thoughts About Other Characters
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...
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.
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.
Kaedehara 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!
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 met, 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...
Durin
When he first came out of that book, he had such a long list of questions. I never imagined becoming human would make him even more curious. His letters are so long — and his handwriting is so crooked, I can barely make it out. You can help explain things to him if you've got time, just to make sure he doesn't get off track.
Hobbies & Personality
Wanderer's Hobbies
Hobbies? Those are for idle bodies who have the free time to think about such things. Do I look like I have any interest in distractions?
Wanderer's Troubles
I'm trying to figure out a way to get rid of you so I can go commit atrocities. ...Wait, did you think I was being serious?
Favorite Food
Do you have some tea? The more bitter, the better. It leaves the most fascinating aftertaste.
Least Favorite Food
I'm no fan of Dango, or any other sticky sweets that make me feel like my teeth are fusing together. Keep them to yourself.
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
...I can see the great deal of effort you put forth.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
The wind is blowing this way... What did you do?
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
You aren't worried about making me more powerful? ...Alright.
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
Although I can be of help to you, seeing me as an ally is still a dangerous endeavor. I hope you understand what you're doing. If you still insist on continuing down this path, then let me lead the way.
Receiving a Gift
Receiving a Gift: I
It's okay. Guess this is one of the few things you're good at.
Receiving a Gift: II
Not bad. You actually made something edible.
Receiving a Gift: III
You wanna poison me? Are you so dumb as to have forgotten that I'm not human?

Strengths & Weaknesses
- At Lv90, Wanderer already gets +19,2% CRIT Rate baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
- The core mechanic (via Gales of Reverie) scales with ATK — the standard stat line on most damage weapons, no build pivot needed.
- The Normal Attack (via Yuuban Meigen) already deals innate Anemo DMG from the start — no need to wait on the Elemental Skill to apply the element.
- Since it scales with ATK (via Gales of Reverie), it competes for high-ATK weapons/ATK% pieces with other ATK-based DPS on the team — no niche-stat advantage.
- 5★ (Catalyst) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
