Wanderer Talents
Wanderer is primarily an on-field Anemo DPS who relies more on dealing raw Anemo damage rather than swirls. While his main purpose is to be a hyper carry, he can also function as an on-field driver role in some team compositions.
 | Yuuban Meigen |
|---|---|
| Normal Attack | |
| Normal Attack Performs up to 3 attacks using wind blades, dealing Anemo DMG. Charge 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. Plunge 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. | |
| Attributes | Level 1 | Level 10 |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Hit DMG | 68.71% | 135.83% |
| 2-Hit DMG | 65.02% | 128.52% |
| 3-Hit DMG | 47.64% + 47.64% | 94.18% + 94.18% |
| Charged Attack DMG | 132.08% | 237.74% |
| Charged Attack Stamina Cost | 50 | 50 |
| Plunge DMG | 56.83% | 112.34% |
| Low Plunge DMG | 113.63% | 224.62% |
| High Plunge DMG | 141.93% | 280.57% |
Wanderer’s normal attacks consist of a three-hit combo, with his charge attack having a wider AOE and the ability to stagger some light enemies. His normal attacks deal fast, spammable damage, but you can also combine his normal and charged attacks into a combo.
There are some cases where spamming normal attacks can be better, such as when using his signature weapon, which buffs only normal attacks. However, otherwise, you can weave in charge attacks to further optimize his damage and even stagger certain enemies. His auto attacks are meant to be used well under the Wind Favored state, which is achieved through using his skill.
 | Hanega: Song of the Wind |
|---|---|
| Elemental Skill | |
| Concentrates the power of the winds to break free from the shackles of the earth, dealing AoE Anemo DMG before leaping into the air and entering the Windfavored state. 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:
| |
| Attributes | Level 1 | Level 15 |
|---|---|---|
| Skill DMG | 95.2% | 226.1% |
| Kuugo: Fushoudan DMG | 132.98% Normal Attack DMG | 166.56% Normal Attack DMG |
| Kuugo: Toufukai DMG | 126.39% Character Attack DMG | 153.25% Character Attack DMG |
| Initial Kuugoryoku Points | 100 | 100 |
| Cooldown | 6 Seconds | 6 Seconds |
In this mode, his normal and charged attacks are buffed. They deal more damage, have a larger area of effect (AOE), and his charged attacks no longer consume stamina. He will also start hovering and gain a new stamina bar, making him the first character to have actual flight mechanics. This adds some verticality to his movement, allowing you to completely avoid ground attacks or aid in exploration.
The flight mode lasts as long as you still have stamina or if you manually end it by pressing the skill again. The stamina bar gets consumed over time just by hovering and attacking, and performing other actions like sprinting or levitating higher consumes a larger portion. It’s worth noting that he can’t switch out easily while in flight, so if you need to switch to another teammate prematurely, you have to manually end the flight mode by pressing the skill.
Some off-field abilities will follow him upward, like Kaya’s burst or Kujou Sara’s skill, which can still hit enemies within reach or trigger Dendro cores, respectively, if you stay low enough. However, others will remain at ground level, like Xiangling’s burst, which can be convenient.
Wanderer also generates energy during this state by hitting enemies with normal or charged attacks, but there seems to be a cooldown of about 2.5 seconds on average. He will generate four or sometimes five energy particles during the skill’s duration if you can maintain consistent attacks.
 | Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays |
|---|---|
| Elemental Burst | |
| Compresses the atmosphere into a singular vacuum that grinds all troubles away, dealing multiple instances of AoE Anemo DMG. If the character is in the Windfavored state due to the skill “Hanega: Song of the Wind,” Windfavored state will end after casting. | |
| Attributes | Level 1 | Level 15 |
|---|---|---|
| Burst DMG | 147.2% x 5 | 349.6% x 5 |
| Cooldown | 15 Seconds | 15 Seconds |
| Energy Cost | 60 | 60 |
His burst is actually very simple, as many have long been craving for. He steps on the player, which then unleashes 5 rapid instances of animal damage in an AOE. Light enemies get briefly launched in the air, and if there are any elements applied to them, he can swirl and/or spread them around for a bit more damage. Casting his burst will also automatically end his skill state if he’s in it.

This restoration can occur up to 5 times within one Windfavored duration. |
Wanderer Strength and Weakness
Wanderer offers a unique and interesting playstyle but may require some support and adjustments to reach his full potential in different gameplay scenarios.
Strengths
Impressive Damage Potential: The Wanderer excels as a main damage dealer, comparable to characters like Cyno and Yoimiya. His burst ability, accompanied by normal attacks, can deal significant damage to both single targets and multiple enemies. With proper team composition and buffs, his damage output can be further increased.
Hovering Ability: The Wanderer’s unique hovering ability allows him to stay in the air for approximately 10 seconds, enabling him to unleash a flurry of attacks without consuming stamina. This mobility can be advantageous in both exploration and combat scenarios.
Weakness
Vulnerability to Interruption: One significant drawback of the Wanderer is his susceptibility to interruption during combat. Despite his hovering ability, he lacks resistance to being knocked around by enemy attacks. This can make him vulnerable and disrupt his damage output, requiring the support of shielders or careful positioning.
Lack of Crowd Control: The Wanderer lacks inherent crowd control abilities, making it challenging to group enemies together or maintain crowd control effects like Freeze. This limitation can affect his effectiveness in certain combat situations, especially when enemies are spread out.
Clunky Hovering Mechanics: Some players have observed that the Wanderer’s hovering mechanics feel unpolished. He can get stuck in ice cages and faces difficulties avoiding certain enemy attacks while in mid-air. This clunkiness can diminish the overall experience and create frustration during combat.

I really want wanderer, but i got no luck
After using 30 wishes for wanderer got yanfei, faruzan and rosaria
I got the Wanderer on my first-ever pull since I stopped playing five months ago.
Between Widsith R5 and Lost Prayers R1, which one should I use for Wanderer?
He’s the first character I pre-farmed, but the more I see of him, the less I want him.
I have C1 Scara and a built Ganyu, but I don’t know who else to add to my team. I’m really hoping to have both of them in it because Ganyu has been my main DPS for a long time and deals the most damage. Wanderer is also my first triple-crowned. Any thoughts on who else I could add?
Diona for cryo resonance 15% crit rate buff, shields and healing. Then take your pick of c6 Faruzan, Mona, Bennet, or c6 Yunjin.
I have a considerable number of Shimenawa artifact pieces, which I collected during my two-month stay in the domain while building my Raiden, Xiangling, and Mona characters. As a result, my Wanderer character now possesses an amazing Shimenawa artifact set.
However, there is a slight issue with this setup. To trigger the 50% attack boost from the artifact, one must be mindful of their energy burst level. If this requirement is not met, there will be no bonus effect from the artifact. Additionally, bursting with Wanderer is comparatively more challenging, as the character is not as fast. Nevertheless, I have plans for the long run. I intend to acquire the Desert Pavilion set for Wanderer, which will eliminate any constraints related to energy calculation and the character’s speed. This way, I can further enhance my Wanderer’s abilities and ensure a smoother gameplay experience.
