Genshin Impact Wanderer materials guide: Best build, artifact, and DPS stats

Wanderer will get his first rerun banner in the second phase of the upcoming Genshin Impact version 3.8, which is only a few weeks away.

Best artifacts for Wanderer in Genshin Impact

1) 4-piece Desert Pavilion Chronicle

Desert Pavilion will always be Wanderer’s best in-slot artifact option in Genshin Impact. It is even safe to say that this set was made for him. The artifact set bonus can increase his attack speed and provide him with many damage bonuses.

2) 2-piece Desert Pavilion or Viridescent Venerer + any 2-piece ATK% set

An alternative to the previous option would be a 2-piece set of VV or Desert Pavilion with another 2-piece of any artifact set that provides an ATK% bonus, such as Shimenawa or Gladiators.

3) 4-piece Shimenawa Reminiscence

A full Shimenawa set is a great option for Wanderer, as it can significantly increase his Normal and Charged Attack DMG potential. Although to trigger its 4pc effect, the set consumes a little Burst energy. It shouldn’t be a problem if travelers only plan to cast his burst once every rotation since his burst cost isn’t that high.

With Wanderer’s best artifact options out of the way, here is a list of stats that Genshin Impact players must prioritize while building him:

Sands: ATK%
Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus
Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Sub-stats: ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and ER

Wanderer’s talent priorities

Here is the ideal order to level up Wanderer’s: Normal Attack = Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst

Leveling up his Normal Attack and Elemental Skill first would be ideal since his main source of damage primarily depends on these two talents.

Best weapons for Wanderer in Genshin Impact

1) Tulaytullah’s Remembrance

Wanderer’s signature and best weapon in Genshin Impact is the 5-star Catalyst called Tulaytullah’s Remembrance. It has a really high Base ATK and 44.1% CRIT DMG stats, which are really good for him as a main DPS. Additionally, the weapon’s passive provides him with many buffs for more potential damage.

2) Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds

The second best option for Wanderer is another 5-star weapon, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds. While its Base ATK is slightly lower than the previous entry, it does provide a huge amount of 33.1% CRIT Rate from its secondary stat. It also increases the wielder’s movement speed and provides stackable Elemental DMG bonuses.

3) The Widsith

The Widsith is a 4-star weapon and arguably Wanderer’s best F2P option in Genshin Impact. It provides a massive amount of 55.1% CRIT DMG, even more than the former Fatui Harbinger’s signature weapon. Furthermore, the user also gains random buffs from The Widsith’s passives.

4) Blackcliff Agate

Another really good option for Wanderer is the Blackcliff Agate. Similar to the previous entry, it provides a 55.1% CRIT DMG at level 90. Travelers can get this weapon from Paimon’s Bargains in exchange for 24 Masterless Starglitter.
