Introduction:
Wanderer is the counterpart of Maestros and it is essential for WoE battles. However, since Wanderers are not very welcome by most parties, you will probably require your own party or guild to help you reach max level! Although Wanderer are not popular, that also means you have less competition for gears, cheer up! For this build, I will be focusing on WoE strategy for wanderer instead of PVM.
Important Stats (Bad, Good, Neutral):
STR – Useless stats, good for weight management but not a priority.
AGI – Very important Stat! It benefits Slow Grace, enable you to be a semi-DPS Wanderer as well (Severe Rainstorm, Double Strafing) as well as dodging.
VIT – Very Important Stat! Surviving is key to victory in WoE for your guild!
INT – Very Important Stat! It benefits your bread and butter skill, Gypsy Kiss as well as to handle the high SP consumption skill from the music classes.
DEX – Not a priority, DEX is used if you are planning to semi-DPS Wanderer. It also helps cast time!
LUK – Least priority, put some leftover stats to boost your overall character.

Swing Dance LV5 – Increase ASPD and MSPD for party members for 1 minutes,
Lover’s Symphony LV5 – Increase MDEF for a party for 1 minute, good for pushing.
Song of Despair – Similar to an ankle snare trap, can work wonderfully in defense. However, it affects all players except party members. Can be removed by status recovery.
Metallic Sound – Another damage skill for wanderer. Sound amplifier boosts the skill’s damage by a lot.
Equipment:
Since the current meta is range damage meta, we will be focusing on range resistant equipment!
Notes:
For dagger, a player can choose to use combat knife.
Sound Amplifier is also a good item to have for accessory.
Wanderer’s Role and Tactics:
Flash Dancing
Bread and butter for all Wanderer, Flash Dancing means stacking multiple dances within 20 seconds to fully buff your party to their utmost limit. This requires you to practice weapon swapping to cancel music and re-apply them at god speed. Please take a look here (Under Things to Do) for a better illustration! 🙂
Buffing
Keep your Gypsy Kiss, Frigg Song and Swing Dance (Optional, discuss with your Maestro Partner) up at all times, this require you to flash dance every 20 seconds.
Pushing (Party)
When pushing with party, use Moon Serenade for MDEF. Most of the time, the damage taken from the defense are from Warlock or Ranger. Since Ranger most probably 1 hit you anyway, it is better to communicate with your Maestro either to use Moon Serenade or to use Echo Song (Maestro Counterpart). Before pushing, please do step Buffing. While Pushing, you can spam your Dazzler with bragi to try and stun enemies that have below 100 VIT.
Pushing (Solo)
Wanderer have a tactic by sacrificing herself for the guild. By using Guyak and Soul Link, you will bypass the move speed penalty from dancing. With this, you are now able to rush towards the enemy and then trigger Slow Grace when you are near the enemy stack. There can be three outcome for this suicidal play:
1- You got killed before doing anything. (Unfortunate, learn your timing)
2- You rushed in with Slow Grace, enemy will probably panic assault you first which can divert tons of damage away from your guildmates.
3- You successfully rushed into the group of enemy to debuff them.
Slow Grace is a tremendous debuff as it can reduce enemy DPS by a lot and slowing them down to prevent regrouping. After applying Slow Grace, immediately cast Siren Song to defend yourself.
Defense (Normal)
Use Slow Grace wherever the Warlord is defending (Usually Portal), allowing them to deal as much damage to the enemy before reaching them. Make sure to re-buff your party and re-slow grace at the same spot after that. You can also try to use Tarot card when you have free action to do so, and hope for a Death card.
Defense (Absolute)
Pair up with Maestro to use Loki’s Veil. Loki’s Veil disables all skill usage within range and this skill will only be used in desperation. When you are outnumbered 2v1 or 3v1 for example, use Loki’s Veil to your advantage to help your guild defend the castle. If you are the one casting Loki’s Veil, you are able to use Siren’s Voice to defend yourself, take note of this.
External Buff
Soul Link – Soul Link is essential for Wanderer’s survival as well as what she can do in dire situation. Make sure to ALWAYS have soul link up! This enables Wanderer’s ability to flash dance effectively while moving and unlock Suicidal tactic to its fullest potential & also allows the wanderer to use the maestro’s skill magic strings.
Guyak Pudding – A whale item, beware! But this item enable Wanderer to make big plays for the guild! Use this to run away from enemy as well to bum rush them when the time comes!
