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.

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.
