Wanderer has multiple good options when it comes to artifact sets. The best options for players to consider are listed below in the order of their damage potential.

  1. 4-piece Desert Pavillion Chronicles - This is the signature artifact set of Wanderer and is designed to complement his kit. The artifact set boosts the attack speed and damage of Wanderer and is considered to be his best set overall.
  2. 4-piece Shimenawa’s Reminiscence - This is considered to be the second-best option for Wanderer. It provides a damage boost to Wanderer's normal attacks at the cost of 15 energy. Considering the other artifact set available in this domain is Emblem of Severed Fate, farming Shimenawa's also provides a good value for the player's resin.
  3. 4-piece Echoes of an Offering - This is another solid option for players looking to build their Wanderer. Although it provides ample damage with its 4-piece effect, it may be important to note that this artifact's 4-piece effect does not work when players are experiencing high server ping (Above 100).
  4. 4-piece Viridescent Venerer - Viridescent Venerer is the go-to set for most Anemo characters in the game, and Wanderer is no different. While this set provides an excellent buff to Wanderer's elemental damage, it falls off overall against the other available choices.
  5. 2-piece + 2-piece - If players do not have good pieces of the artifact set options given above, it may be feasible to mix and match. Players can select 2-piece buffs from different sets. They can either go for two set bonuses giving +15% Anemo DMG Bonus, or one set with +15% Anemo DMG Bonus and another with +18% ATK.
