DPS Build

Weapons

Tulaytullah's Remembrance

CRIT DMG

Signature-grade stat stick: boosts CRIT DMG and ramps Normal Attack DMG and SPD, matching the Normal Attack-heavy rotation.

Memory of Dust

ATK%

Strong ATK% and Elemental DMG bonus, but requires a shield to cap the effect; pair with Zhongli or Layla.

Skyward Atlas

ATK%

Grants Elemental DMG% and a falling meteor proc; a reliable 5-star stat stick with no conditional uptime.

Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds

CRIT Rate

Increases Elemental DMG% over time and gives Movement SPD; ideal for long field-time DPS.

The Widsith

CRIT DMG

On-switch buffs ATK%, Elemental DMG%, or Elemental Mastery, making burst windows hit hard; RNG but powerful.

Dodoco TalesR5

ATK%

Boosts Charged Attack and Normal Attack DMG after Normal Attack hits; good 4-star for the CA-spam rotation.

Kagura's Verity

CRIT DMG

Increases Skill DMG and stacks Elemental DMG% when using Skill; fits if you weave Skill often.

Tome of the Eternal Flow

CRIT DMG

High CRIT DMG and Charged Attack bonus; a solid stat stick even though the HP effect does not benefit this build.

Solar Pearl

CRIT Rate

Increases Normal Attack and Skill/Burst DMG; a balanced F2P option for spiral content.

Ballad of the Boundless BlueR5

Energy Recharge

Provides Elemental Mastery and boosts Normal Attack/Charged Attack after using Skill; a craftable that supports the combo loop.

Blackcliff Agate

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG sub with ATK% on kills; shines in mob-heavy floors, falls off against bosses.

Eye of Perception

ATK%

ATK% and periodic AoE proc; a general-purpose 4-star stat stick with zero conditional.

Mappa Mare

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery and Elemental DMG% after triggering Swirl; good for reaction-heavy driver play.

Frostbearer

ATK%

ATK% and icicle procs; works as a stat stick though the Cryo effect is wasted unless doing Swirl shenanigans.

Artifacts

Desert Pavilion Chronicle

4-piece boosts Normal Attack/Charged Attack DMG after Swirl and adds Anemo DMG% after Charged Attack; core set for on-field DPS.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence

4-piece increases normal/charged/plunging DMG by 50% at 15 energy cost; pairs well with the later-burst rotation to front-load damage.

Echoes of an Offering

4-piece procs an extra hit on normal attacks; strong when spamming Normal Attack with high ATK%, though RNG dependent.

Choose 2

Anemo DMG Bonus +15% set

ATK +18% set

Another 2-piece Anemo DMG Bonus set; combine with ATK% or as a placeholder until better pieces drop.

Viridescent Venerer

4-piece Swirl shreds enemy resistance to the infused element; best when playing as a Swirl driver for elemental teams.

Blizzard Strayer

4-piece boosts crit against Frozen enemies; only useful if teambuilding around Cryo/Hydro supports, otherwise niche.

Lavawalker

4-piece increases DMG against Pyro-affected enemies; dedicated anti-Pyro set, great vs Pyro-heavy content.

CRIT RateCRIT DMG

Desert Pavilion Chronicle and Signature Weapon Rotation: Burst, Skill, Charged Attack, then Normal Attack x3 repeat.
Signature Weapon Rotation (non-Desert Pavilion Chronicle): Burst, Skill, then Normal Attack x3 repeat.
Desert Pavilion Chronicle Rotation: Burst, Skill, Charged Attack, then Normal Attack x2, Charged Attack repeat.
Other Artifact Sets Rotation: Burst, Skill, then Normal Attack x2, Charged Attack repeat.
Shimenawa's Reminiscence Rotation: Skill, then Normal Attack x2, Charged Attack repeat, then Burst.
Swirl Driver Rotation: Skill, then Normal Attack x3, Charged Attack repeat.

Wanderer deals damage via Elemental Skill-boosted Normal Attacks. He lacks knockback resistance — a shield or immunity is recommended. Building Energy Recharge for Burst every rotation is not worth it unless C2; burst every other rotation instead.

Memory of Dust gains more value when shielded — outperforms The Widsith with Bennett. Dodoco Tales at R5 uses a different rotation: Elemental Skill, Normal Attack, Charged Attack x6, Normal Attack, Charged Attack x6. The Widsith is inconsistent due to the Elemental Mastery buff — Wanderer does not focus on Swirl damage.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4) — not recommended for C2 or higher. Echoes of an Offering (4) — avoid if ping > 100. Blizzard Strayer (4) — synergizes with 20% CRIT Rate from Cryo Swirl; requires near 100% Freeze uptime but still weaker than Desert Pavilion Chronicle (4). Lavawalker (4) — in teams with consistent Pyro application, matches Echoes of an Offering. Viridescent Venerer (4) — only if Wanderer is not the main damage dealer and no other holder exists.
