Overview
The Wanderer came into existence in place of his previous incarnation after the latter expunged his previous appellations and their respective histories from Irminsul. Harboring his former self's memories after willingly regaining them, "Wanderer" is now the only title he goes by, for he has no home, no kin, and no destination.
During the Archon Quest As Though Morning Dew in Interlude Chapter: Act III - Inversion of Genesis, the player can change the Wanderer's name, which will then be used in some of the game's interfaces, such as Party Setup. Most characters, however, will refer to him by the name of Hat Guy, the name Nahida used upon enrolling him to Vahumana.
After erasing his Fatui ties from Irminsul, the Wanderer is shown to be kind and considerate, although somewhat distracted as he lacked a human heart and name. The lack of a human heart caused him to long for feelings that he could not experience and thus willingly accepted his memories back to reclaim his sins to be himself once more.
Following the restoration of his memories, the Wanderer still retained all of his traits as Scaramouche, although he states that he had always acted as such to be both strict on himself and others and that he simply states what he sees in front of him. He is not fond of most of his former co-workers, especially Dottore as a result of his machinations that caused him to become who he was in the first place.
The Wanderer enjoys extremely bitter tastes. He despises sweets.
Talents
- Normal Attack: Yuuban Meigen
- Normal Attack: Performs up to 3 attacks using wind blades, dealing Anemo Damage.
- Charged Attack: Consumes Stamina, gathers a build up of high wind pressure, and deals AoE Anemo Damage after a short casting time.
- Plunging Attack: Calling upon the power of Anemo, the Wanderer plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all enemies in his path. Deals AoE Anemo Damage upon impact with the ground.
- Elemental Skill: Hanega: Song of the Wind
The wind rises!
Behold!
Squall and fury!
Concentrates the power of the winds to break free from the shackles of the earth, dealing AoE Anemo Damage before leaping into the air and entering the Windfavored state.
Windfavored
The Wanderer cannot perform Plunging Attacks in this state. When he uses Normal and Charged Attacks, they will be converted into Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai respectively; the Damage they deal and their AoE will be increased, and their Damage will be considered Normal and Charged Attack Damage respectively. Kuugo: Toufukai will not consume Stamina.
The Wanderer will hover persistently during this time. While this state is active, the Wanderer's movements gain the following properties:
- Persistently consumes Kuugoryoku Points to maintain this hovering state.
- When sprinting, additional Kuugoryoku Points will be consumed for the Wanderer to accelerate mid-air. Holding sprint will cause persistent Kuugoryoku Point consumption to maintain speed. This effect will replace his default sprint.
- Jumping expends extra Kuugoryoku Points to increase hovering height. Holding jump will cause persistent Kuugoryoku Point consumption to keep increasing hovering height.
Running out of Kuugoryoku Points will end the Windfavored state.
A second cast during the duration of Windfavored will also end it.
- Elemental Burst: Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays
Unsightly insects!
Wretched vermin!
Cry louder!
Bow your head!
Know your place!
You dare to gaze upon me!?
Compresses the atmosphere into a singular vacuum that grinds all troubles away, dealing multiple instances of AoE Anemo Damage. If the character is in the Windfavored state due to the Elemental Skill: Hanega: Song of the Wind, Windfavored state will end after casting.
- 1st Ascension Passive: Jade-Claimed Flower
If Elemental Skill: Hanega: Song of the Wind comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro when it is unleashed, this instance of the Windfavored state will obtain buffs according to the contacted elements:
- Hydro: Kuugoryoku Point cap increases by 20.
- Pyro: ATK increases by 30%.
- Cryo: Critical Rate increases by 20%.
- Electro: When Normal and Charged Attacks hit an enemy, 0.8 Energy will be restored. Energy can be restored this way every 0.2 seconds.
You can have up to 2 different kinds of these buffs simultaneously.
- 4th Ascension Passive: Gales of Reverie
When the Wanderer hits enemies with Kuugo: Fushoudan or Kuugo: Toufukai in his Windfavored state, he has a 16% chance to obtain the Descent effect: The next time the Wanderer accelerates in mid-air while in this instance of the Windfavored state, this effect will be removed, this acceleration instance will not consume any Kuugoryoku Points, and he will fire off 4 wind arrows that deal 35% of his ATK as Anemo Damage each.
For each Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai that does not produce this effect, the next attack of those types will have a 12% increased chance of producing it. The calculation of the effect production is done once every 0.1 seconds.
- Utility Passive: Strum the Swirling Winds
Mora expended when ascending Bows and Catalysts is decreased by 50%.

About Other Characters
This part is about what The Wanderer thinks about the other characters in Genshin Impact.
While I still had value as a pawn, she might have had other reasons to keep me alive. It's certainly possible that it was because she's wise or benevolent, or happened to see a hint of loneliness within me... You think I'm trying to think the worst of her? Hah, did you really expect anything else? In case you've forgotten, I'm no saint.
She completely neglected her own creation, and to add insult to injury, she said it was because she "couldn't bring herself to intervene" in my fate...
What makes you think I know him? The fact that he's always following me around and asking for a closer look at my hat? We've barely spoken before. The first time we met, he came up and asked me if I was Hat Guy... Last time I checked, judging someone by their appearance is superficial. Hmph, somehow, everyone knows the name "Hat Guy" now...
You speak of the descendant of the Kaedehara clan? Then isn't he... Wait, he also possesses an Anemo Vision? ...And even managed to take on the Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi? Hehe... Ahahahaha!
A smooth-talking youkai. Though she pretends to care about humans to gain the favor of her god, all she seeks are entertaining ways to pass her time.
It's a pity that Lesser Lord Kusanali already forced him to erase so many of his segments. The joy I would have derived from slicing them apart one by one...
Nothing remained in her ashes. I have no interest in those who have lost their future.
He's simple of mind and not that strong of body. Naming him to the lowest-ranked seat lowered the Harbingers' collective prestige. Thankfully, I'm no longer part of that group.
The Jester is a survivor of Khaenri'ah. Besides that singular fact, I know very little about him, and never had any kind of close association with him. He seems to want something from me, though. In the past, he assigned to me many important tasks, including a number of trips to the Abyss.
"The ever-righteous Captain," "the brave and fearless Captain," "the nigh-invincible Captain"... Even my mechanical ears demand maintenance after listening to so many compliments from the members of the Fatui. Don't you think that possessing absolute righteousness is actually a latent danger? And that's without taking his great personal strength into account.
Let me ask: what should you do if you were to encounter a "damsel" who is oblivious and innocent at any given time, and unconcerned and unfeeling in any given situation? If it were me, I could at least challenge her to a fight. But if it were you... with your conscience, I would stay away from her.
She has a terrible personality and cares for nothing outside of her own research. But even with that amount of dedication, she still produced a copious amount of garbage, and could only secure a ranking that's still one whole place beneath my own. How pitiful.
A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self... have gone poof.
Only someone as dense as Childe would think The Rooster is looking after him and his family out of the goodness of his heart. Although the mayor has indeed done a number of things for their benefit, anyone with a brain would be able to tell that the underlying meaning is "your entire family is in my hands."
Oh, the ninth-ranked guy. He's obsessed with the idea of "fair exchange," to the point of wanting to overthrow the natural imbalance between gods and humans. But, I guess it's just how ordinary mortals are like — it's easy for them to come up with pointless delusions. Honestly, it's nothing worth writing home about, just like how there's also nothing impressive about his abilities or choice of partner. Hmph. Anyone who chooses to work closely with The Doctor is sure to meet a nasty end.
Everyone praises her for her kindness and benevolence, but they forget that love is also a form of sin. What if she's just trying to compensate for something?
