Wanderer build summary

Updated August 28, 2026

Vivid Notions is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Wanderer's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Reliquary of Truth, Royal Grimoire and Nocturne's Curtain Call come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Wanderer, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Desert Pavilion Chronicle on Wanderer, with Viridescent Venerer and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Anemo DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.

Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

The strongest team is Wanderer, Durin, Nicole and Faruzan, built around Wanderer: Anemo · Swirl.
