Wanderer (Scaramouche) Quick TL;DR Team Comp Guide

Wanderer (edgy teen that got adopted by a radish…)

Element: Anemo

Weapon: Catalyst

Pros:

24/7 Anemo procs	Strong self-buffs	Has CRIT% as hidden stat
Not reliant on constellations	Decent damage multipliers	High single target DPS
Viable as burst DPS	Extremely easy to gear/play	Can CA spam

Cons:

Wrong inputs can significantly lower DPS	Very prone to get hit/interrupted	Suffers against shields A LOT
A1 Passive buff can be inconsistent	Hidden potential locked behind C4

PSA #1: Wanderer is an extremely fun DPS with extremely high DPS windows, but can also have very low DPS if interrupted/knocked back or you accidentally use Points jumping or dashing. However, these problems can be easily amended with some practice and proper team comps!

Who to take (alternatives explained below!):

PSA #2: The rotation is extremely simple: Bennett E > Xingqiu E > Faruzan E/Q for buffs > Wanderer E into NA/CA combo > repeat. Make sure to use Bennett and Xingqiu’s Bursts whenever they’re available, but BEFORE you use Faruzan’s Q.

I’ve found massive success running Rosaria/Shenhe instead of Xingqiu as well. Not only do you get the 20% CRIT Rate buff from infusing A1 Passive, but Shenhe can also buff NA/CA by +15% with her A1 Passive when using E.

Faruzan is also a great addition and honestly adds around 22k-35k additional DPS to my Wanderer (depends on how well I manage my rotation though).

Great flex slot alternatives:

• Kazuha/Venti – Kazuha and Venti stand out mainly due to their battery frequency and extremely strong AoE grouping CC. 4x VV doesn’t really matter too much for buffing Wanderer’s DPS, but can help other member’s total output!
• Sucrose – Sucrose can fulfill the same role as Kazuha/Venti but she’s more focused on hyperbuffing: mainly focusing on EM muling + ATK buffing with TTDS
• Yelan – Yelan fulfills the same role as Xingqiu, except you’re trading off tankiness for more DMG (since Yelan’s A4 Passive provides DMG to the active character)
• Rosaria – Rosaria has a spammable Cryo application with her E, and her Q is great for consistently re-applying Cryo in a large AoE. Mainly used for providing that +20% CRIT Rate though.
• Shenhe – Shenhe fulfills the same role as Rosaria, except she can more directly buff Wanderer’s NA/CA DMG via her A1 Passive (+15% NA/CA DMG buff). I her burst is also a bit more reliable than Rosaria’s due to the frequency + larger AoE
• Thoma – Thoma’s shield isn’t the focus, but rather his Burst. It provides a decent shield, but it turns him into a Pyro Xingqiu. Plus, it makes it easy to gain the Pyro infusement, giving Wanderer +20% ATK while in Windfavored form
• Xiangling – Run as a Burst DPS/sub DPS option, but she also can apply massive amount of Pyro and DMG at the same time. The chili pepper ATK buff is a plus (if you can pick it up consistently for Wanderer)
• Zhongli – Strongest shield in the game makes Zhongli extremely viable for Wanderer. Having not to worry about knockback/interruption while in Windfavored form saves A LOT of time and DPS output (since you don’t have to worry about repositioning). Plus his Burst can deal massive DMG and apply a strong CC
• Raiden/Yae/Fishcl/Beidou – All four have serious Electro application utility. Raiden and Yae are more focused on Burst DPS nuke when Windfavored ends, while Fischl and Beidou are more for F2P options. The Electro infusement for A1 Passive’s additional energy regen is nice, but not necessary.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS BELOW! I’ll try my best to respond as I know some players may not have ANY of the characters mentioned.

Hope this helped. Bye.
