Quick Links
You start playing as the Traveler as soon as you startGenshin Impact, and they’re the only free five-star you’re able to get unless you played during a certain limited-time event. Although, you can technically get multiple five-stars from the Traveler since they can change their element on command.

On Fontaine’s release during the Version 4.0 update, the Traveler got their Hydro edition that could be unlocked by interacting with the Hydro Statues of the Seven. Hydro Traveler’s abilities are quite simple, but you’re able to still build them as a good support during the early game.
Reaction-Based Support
Hydro was already a great element for reaction-based builds since Vaporize and Freeze can both be amazing, but it became even better after the release of the Dendro element. Thisintroduced the Bloom and Hyperbloom reactions to the game, which can easily win you any battle if played correctly.
You have two ways to make this build when it comes to the artifact sets. The Flower of Paradise Lost increases your Elemental Mastery andBloom / Hyperbloom damage by up to 140 percent once you trigger these reactions four times. Traveler loses a bit of health while using their Skill and they can lose some more if they take damage from Bloom.
It’s highly recommended to use this build with adedicated healer like Kokomi, Kuki, or Yaoyaoto make up for the lost health.
If you’re planning to use her in a Vaporize or Freeze build, you can use the Noblesse Oblige artifact set as itincreases the ATK of other party members upon using your Elemental Burst. You’ll have to get a ton of Energy Recharge since you need your Ultimate as fast as possible for this build.
Moreover, Traveler’seffectiveness becomes much better if you use this build once you get their second constellation(which is free) as it increases the duration of your Ultimate.
Hydro Traveler Artifact Stat Priority
There might not be a lot of possible builds when it comes to the Hydro Traveler,but their artifacts are significantly easier to build. You’ll mostly use this character as a Hydro Applicator, which means that their personal damage doesn’t matter as much. Here’s everything you need:
Energy Recharge > ATK Percent
Hydro Traveler Talent Priority
When it comes to the Talents, Hydro Traveler works a little differently compared to other characters since theydon’t have the third passive that helps the character in the overworld. Although, this passive doesn’t change the combat in any way, so it doesn’t put the Traveler at a disadvantage.
If you’re planning to use Hydro Traveler in a reaction-based team,you first need to upgrade their Burst followed by the Skill. This will increase your damage output to an extent so that you’re not dealing single numbers. You can ignore their Basic Attack Talent since you’ll never use it.
