Wanderer’s Troupe Artifact Set: Best Characters and Uses

The Wanderer’s Troupe is a powerful artifact set in Genshin Impact, designed primarily for characters who rely on Charged Attacks and Elemental Mastery. Its bonuses enhance reaction damage and significantly strengthen ranged or catalyst-based playstyles. Although the set is niche, it becomes exceptionally valuable when paired with characters whose kits scale heavily from Charged Attacks or who consistently trigger transformative reactions.

Set Bonuses

2-piece bonus: +80 Elemental Mastery. This improves the damage of Vaporize, Melt, Spread, Aggravate, Hyperbloom, Burgeon and other EM-scaling reactions.

4-piece bonus: Increases Charged Attack damage by 35% for catalyst and bow users. This makes the set ideal for characters whose main damage source comes from Charged Attacks or hybrid EM builds.

Best Users of Wanderer’s Troupe

The Wanderer’s Troupe excels on characters who combine Charged Attacks with strong elemental application. These characters gain significant value from both the EM boost and the Charged Attack multiplier.

• Ganyu — one of the strongest users. Her Frostflake Arrow charged shots scale incredibly well with the 4-piece bonus. Works mainly for Melt Ganyu builds.
• Klee — her Charged Attacks deal massive AoE damage, and the EM boost enhances her Vaporize/Melt triggers. Ideal for reaction-based playstyles.
• Yanfei — gains consistent value from boosted Charged Attacks and EM. Works best in Vaporize teams with Xingqiu/Yelan.
• Shikanoin Heizou — although he is not a traditional charged-attack spammer, EM and his catalyst scaling allow the set to perform well in reaction-heavy builds.
• Tighnari — his Charged Attacks form the core of his rotations, and the EM helps with Spread damage. Works, though other sets may be stronger.
• Ningguang (niche) — can use the Charged Attack bonus, but lacks EM synergy; generally not recommended unless other sets are unavailable.

Characters Who Do Not Benefit

Characters using physical builds, melee weapons or relying on normal attacks rather than charged ones derive little value from the set. Additionally, DPS units who scale heavily from Crit and ATK but rarely trigger reactions should avoid Wanderer's Troupe.

Best Team Compositions

Wanderer’s Troupe thrives in teams that trigger high-value reactions. Examples include Melt teams for Ganyu, Vaporize setups for Klee or Yanfei, and Spread/Aggravate teams for Tighnari. The set fits perfectly into rotations where Charged Attacks serve as the primary source of damage.

Where to Obtain

The set drops from world bosses and elite enemies, as part of the general artifact pool. Because it cannot be directly farmed from a dedicated domain, players typically acquire it passively during resin spending.

Conclusion

The Wanderer’s Troupe is a specialized but extremely powerful artifact set for bow and catalyst characters focused on Charged Attacks and reaction damage. When used on the right characters—particularly Ganyu, Klee or Yanfei—it becomes one of the strongest offensive sets available. For units whose kits match its bonuses, the Wanderer's Troupe provides a substantial and reliable increase in overall performance.
