Best Wanderer build in Genshin Impact

Wanderer is the latest 5-star main DPS to join the Anemo family with his vision. With his mastery over Catalyst weapons, he has the potential to be an excellent ranged damage dealer in Genshin Impact.

As an on-field DPS character, his stat priorities are quite different from other Anemo units. For Wanderer's best builds, players will need to focus on the following stats on the artifacts:

• Sands: ATK%
• Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus
• Circlet: Crit Rate/DMG
• Sub-Stats: ATK%, ER%, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage

Unlike Anemo characters who are usually built with a 4-piece set of Viridescent Venerer, Wanderer can use tons of other artifact sets for his best build. Here are all the ones with great 4-piece set bonuses for Wanderer:

• Desert Pavilion Chronicles
• Shimenawa’s Reminiscence
• Echoes of an Offering

The Desert Pavilion Chronicles is the best artifact set as it is tailor-made for the Wanderer and was introduced in the Genshin Impact 3.3 update. It increases Anemo DMG and enhances the speed and damage of normal, charged, and plunge attacks when the charged ones hit an enemy.

Meanwhile, Shimenawa and Echoes are two great weapons to increase Wanderer's normal attack damage. With Shimenawa Reminiscence, players can increase normal, charge, and plunging attacks' damage in exchange for 15 energy.

Echoes of an Offering is a great choice to increase Wanderer's normal and charged attack damage but it is highly dependent on low server ping. Hence, players are advised not to farm this set unless they have low server ping (below 100).

Here is a list of all the 5-star weapons that are suitable for Wanderer in Genshin Impact:

• Tulaytullah's Remembrance
• Kagura's Verity
• Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
• Memory of Dust
• Skyward Atlas

Tulaytullah's Remembrance is Wanderer's signature weapon, which makes it the best choice for him. It is a 5-star Catalyst with Crit DMG secondary stats and the amazing passive is tailor-made for his playstyle.

However, it is not necessary for Genshin Impact players to spend so much Primogems to acquire the signature weapon if they already have either of the 5-star weapons mentioned on the list above.

There are also tons of 4-star alternatives that low-spenders and F2P players can use for their Wanderer. Here is a list of all the choices they can use in the game:

• The Widsith
• Blackcliff Agate
• Solar Pearl
• Dodoco Tales

The Dodoco Tales has the best weapon passive out of all these alternatives, but it is an event-exclusive option that the current player base cannot obtain. However, the others on the list are decent alternatives that players can take advantage of in Genshin Impact.
