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.
