Weapons
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery boosts Swirl damage, and the passive grants ATK and normal/charged attack DMG after triggering reactions, directly enhancing on-field Anemo DPS.
CRIT Rate
Provides high CRIT Rate and an ATK bonus based on HP, offering unconditional raw stats that suit a main-field DPS without proc requirements.
CRIT DMG
Massive CRIT DMG and a stacking Elemental DMG bonus; with constant Anemo attacks, easily reaches full stacks for sustained output.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge improves Burst uptime, and the passive can reset the Skill for extra Anemo damage and particles; useful for cooldown-heavy rotations.
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery enhances Swirl, and the passive grants a DMG bonus after dealing elemental damage, stacking as the character stays on the field.
ATK%
ATK% substat and a passive that gains ATK while shielded; with a shield support, this becomes a strong non-conditional DPS sword.
Energy Recharge
Provides Energy Recharge for burst consistency, plus a vacuum blade that deals bonus damage; a balanced option mixing utility and DPS.
Energy Recharge
Boosts Elemental Skill DMG and CRIT Rate on Skill, with Energy Recharge; ideal for a skill-centric Anemo DPS rotation.
Physical DMG Bonus
Highest base ATK among swords and a healing/extra-damage passive; even with wasted Physical bonus, the raw ATK drives Anemo damage.
ATK%
ATK% and a passive that deals bonus DMG to enemies affected by Pyro or Electro; strong when the team regularly applies those elements for Swirl.
ATK%
ATK% helps raw damage, while the passive regenerates energy from Skill usage, keeping burst available for longer DPS windows.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge supports burst uptime and the passive feeds energy to the team; acceptable as an economical DPS option, though more utility-oriented.
Elemental Mastery
Budget 3-star with Elemental Mastery and an ATK bonus after triggering reactions; a usable entry option for reaction-based Anemo DPS.
Artifacts
2-piece grants Anemo DMG bonus; 4-piece increases Swirl DMG and shreds enemy RES, amplifying both personal Anemo damage and teammates' element damage.
Straightforward 15% Anemo DMG bonus, ideal as a 2-piece combo to directly raise all Anemo damage output.

Recommended Primary Stats
Anemo Traveler DPS: Uses Elemental Skill and Burst for quickswap Sub-DPS. Requires high Energy Recharge due to minimal field time.
Build options: full Elemental Mastery or ATK%/CRIT yield similar damage. Weapon rankings remain consistent between builds.
Sacrificial Sword resets Elemental Skill passive but extends on-field time. Amenoma Kageuchi lowers Energy Recharge needs; at R5 outperforms Sacrificial Sword.
Favonius Sword provides team energy via passive. Build sufficient CRIT Rate to trigger reliably. Low personal damage but high team utility.
