Free option. ATK% substat; passive boosts Normal Attack DMG and triggers a small explosion. Good for Normal Attack-focused builds.

Kagura's Verity

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat; Skill stacks Anemo DMG bonus. Requires frequent Skill use; works well with low-cooldown rotations.

Tome of the Eternal Flow

CRIT DMG

HP% substat, but passive grants ATK% and Anemo DMG after Skill, and buffs team ATK. Good if you can trigger Skill often.

Solar Pearl

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat; passive increases Normal Attack and Skill DMG. Solid 4-star for on-field damage.

Ballad of the Boundless BlueR5

Energy Recharge

ATK% substat; boosts Normal Attack DMG and Swirl DMG. Great for a Swirl driver playstyle.

Blackcliff Agate

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat; ATK% buff after defeating an enemy. Situational but high CRIT DMG for stat balancing.

Eye of Perception

Mappa Mare

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat; passive grants Anemo DMG bonus after triggering a reaction. Good for Swirl damage.

ATK%

ATK% substat; Normal Attacks drop an icicle dealing Cryo DMG. Niche pick for enabling Swirl with Cryo or Freeze teams.

Artifacts

Desert Pavilion Chronicle

4pc: after Charged Attack, grants ATK% and Normal/Charged Attack DMG. Best for CA-focused rotations; pairs with signature weapon for attack speed.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence

4pc: increases Normal/Charged/Plunge DMG by 50% at the cost of 15 Energy. Ideal for Normal Attack spam; manage Energy to still cast Burst.

Echoes of an Offering

4pc: 36% chance to increase Normal Attack DMG based on ATK. Good for high ATK builds; RNG makes it less consistent.

Choose 2

Anemo DMG Bonus +15% set

ATK +18% set

2pc: Anemo DMG +15%. Use as filler with another 2pc set (e.g., 18atk_set) if you lack a full 4pc.

Viridescent Venerer

4pc: reduces opponent's Elemental RES to Swirled element by 40%. Excellent for Swirl driver; also 2pc gives Anemo DMG.

Blizzard Strayer

4pc: CRIT Rate against Frozen and Cryo DMG. Niche for Freeze teams; Anemo DPS loses value unless infusing Cryo.

Lavawalker

4pc: increases DMG against Pyro-affected enemies by 35%. Requires consistent Pyro application (e.g., Bennett) to boost Anemo DMG.

DPS
External Buffs = units providing ATK or reducing ATK reliance (e.g., Bennett, Yun Jin).
Wanderer deals damage via Elemental Skill into boosted Normal Attacks. No knockback resistance in this state; a shielder or knockback immunity is recommended. Not worth building Energy Recharge to Burst every rotation unless Wanderer is C2. Burst every other rotation instead.

Weapon Choices:
Memory of Dust: Further ahead than others if shielded. Maintains ranking without Bennett, and outperforms The Widsith with Bennett.
Dodoco Tales [R5]: Uses rotation E N1 CAx6 N1 CAx6 to maximize passive.
The Widsith: Inconsistent if Elemental Mastery buff is obtained, since Wanderer doesn't focus on Swirl damage.

Artifact Sets:
Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4): Not recommended if Wanderer is C2+.
Echoes of an Offering (4): Not recommended if ping >100.
Blizzard Strayer (4): Synergizes with 20% Crit Rate from swirling Cryo. Recommended only with near 100% Freeze uptime, requiring specific teams. Even then, worse than Desert Pavilion Chronicle (4).
Lavawalker (4): With consistent Pyro application, about equal to Echoes of an Offering (4).
Viridescent Venerer (4): Usable if majority of damage share isn't from Wanderer and no other viable holder.
