Scaramouche has long been expected as a playableGenshin Impactcharacter, and he’s here at last. With Anemo as his Vision and Catalyst as a weapon, many people expected him to be similar to Shikanoin Heizou. Like Heizou, Scaramouche (Wanderer) performs best as a DPS, but he can also work as an Anemo driver. However, unlike Heizou, Wanderer is not a melee unit and hits enemies from a distance.
Scaramouche’s damage mostly comes from his Normal Attacks, so players should focus on this aspect of his kit. Here’s the best build players can give Scaramouche (Wanderer) inGenshin Impact.
Scaramouche (Wanderer) Best Build - Best Weapon
Other thanTulaytullah’s Remembranceas Scaramouche’sbest weapon inGenshin Impact, players can use other 5-star Catalysts likeMemory of Dust,Skyward Atlas, andLost Prayer to the Sacred Winds.Kagura’s Verityalso works, but as Scaramouche won’t benefit from the passive, it falls behind all the other options.
Meanwhile,the best 4-star weapons for Scaramouche inGenshin Impactstarts withThe Widsith. At maximum Refinement, Widsith can even outperform other 5-star options (except Tulaytullah’s Remembrance). Wanderer can also useBlackcliff AgateandSolar Pearlfor their powerful passive and Critical stat. Meanwhile, F2P players can useMappa Mare,Dodoco Tales, orOathsworn Eyefor Wanderer’s weapon inGenshin Impact.
Scaramouche (Wanderer) Best Build - Best Artifact
Thebest artifact for Scaramouche inGenshin Impactis the new artifact set,4pc Desert Pavilion Chronicle. However, other than that, Wanderer can also use other options like4pc Blizzard Strayer,4pc Shimenawa’s Reminiscence, and4pc Echoes of an Offering. Blizzard Strayer is only valid in a Freeze comp, Shimenawa is great if players don’t end up with an Energy issue, and Echoes of an Offering is decent if Scaramouche can proc the passive constantly.
If getting a 4-pieces set is currently not possible, players can also mix some 2-pieces like:
Lastly,if Wanderer is using aGenshin ImpactShielder, then4pc Retracing Bolideis a solid option. Although its damage output is lower than other options, the shield-strengthening effect will prove to be extremely useful in battle.
Meanwhile,for the Artifact main stat, players should adjust their Goblet based on the Wanderer’s team comp. If the Wanderer is getting a lot of Elemental DMG buffs like from Faruzan, then ATK Goblet may outperform an Anemo DMG one. On the other hand, getting a lot of ATK buffs like Bennett’s Burst will make Anemo DMG Goblet more useful.
This concept should also be noted when picking which 2-pieces mix to use. If players are using2pc Desert Pavilion Chronicle + 2pc Viridescent Venerer, thenBennett should be in theGenshin Impactteamto increase Wanderer’s ATK. Meanwhile, if the character uses2pc ATK+18% + 2pc ATK+18%, then Faruzan can be the better option for a buffer.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
