Wanderer — Build, Teams & Rating Genshin 6.7

Is Wanderer worth building?

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

Normal Attack
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

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:
·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

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.

"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

If Hanega: Song of the Wind comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro when it is unleashed, this instance of the Windfavored state will obtain buffs according to the contacted element(s):
·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

When the Wanderer hits opponents with Kuugo: Fushoudan or Kuugo: Toufukai in his Windfavored state, he has a 16% chance to obtain the Descent effect: The next time the Wanderer accelerates in mid-air while in this instance of the Windfavored state, this effect will be removed, this acceleration instance will not consume any Kuugoryoku Points, and he will fire off 4 wind arrows that deal 35% of his ATK as Anemo DMG each.
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

Mora expended when ascending Bows and Catalysts is decreased by 50%.

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.
