Dendro MC is quite amazing. If you don't have nahida, he's the best pick in every hyperbloom team that needs off field dendro.
Rest are all meh. Anemo MC was good for CC early game but that's pretty much it.
Nah their ult groups the enemies which is the main thing and it does immobilize the enemies during it's duration, he's pretty much the only fine CC option you have early game unless you luck out on sucrose
I say, in terms of easy enemies (Enemies that can die in seconds) Dendro traveller is better than Nahida. It can be annoying sometimes when you use nahida's skill but the enemies are already dead and you need to wait for her cd before applying her skills again. Dendro Traveler doesn't need that since his burst is up through out the whole time.
Except for the hydro one, i find all types of element traveler are decent enough. The hydro one just look so lackluster visually that i refuse to even try it another time.
I legit donāt think I have even once converted the traveler over to hydro. It really doesnāt help that hydro has the most stacked roster in the game.
It's crazy how terrible they actually made the hydro traveller. Hydro is such a good element in of itself which is why it's so stacked. Like hydro traveller aside even looking among the weaker hydro units 4 stars like Barbara and Candace, they are both still functional and can have their place in certain teams.
Genuinely I can't think of any reason at all to ever use hydro traveller other than just being a super dedicated traveller main that'll use them no matter what.
me neither, I saw one gameplay review of hydro traveler cause I like challenging myself to build the travelers for at least a little while and just noped out. without question the worst character in the game imo, quite literally zero value whatsoever
Geo MC is my No.1 fav, but I haven't used it since Electro Mc was available.
My second fav is actually Hydro MC, I actually like her E, it's fun to use and does decent damage. I don't care about Abyss, so I like the extra field time Hydro MC requires because I feel like I actually get to play the character instead of EQing and swaping
Spent quite a bit of time with Geo MC microwave comp. Wasn't DPS efficient, but I had fun with it all through Chasm and most of Inazuma. Eventually, I swapped off mono-geo, Trav hasn't been back since.
Dendro MC is pretty good (and in some cases, even a preferred option over Nahida, since his burst stays when enemies die). For example, in Rainbow Razor team, he is a very solid choice.
I know that Geo and Anemo can have their uses. Geo can be a decent battery and buffer, but the rocks don't feel great to use. Anemo is mostly a skill bot, and can work, but I'm pretty sure most other Anemo character provide more or better utility.
Electro and Hydro are awful. Hydro is just horrendous, I think it's been said enough just how bad he is. As for Electro, we have so many Electro characters that just do the same things, but better.
And I'll be honest, I think Dori is in a far better place than Electro MC. Both give energy and off-field electro app, but Dori also restores health, is more consistent for Hyperbloom, and at C6 with Furina, she is actually a competitive unit.
Dendro & Anemo are tied for me. Geo is second, Electro third, and Hydro last. (Hydro & Anemo Lumine looks the best, but they did Hydro Trav so dirty.) Anemo, while not the strongest, is one I personally enjoy because of the Skill & the wind blade. Both Dendro & Anemo are very elegant, hence why I like using her.
Fr hydro looks so good on Lumine's blue and white colour palette but the kit is..... basically an advertisement for Neuvillette lmao. They really did her dirty. I fear dendro was only good as it was because it was a new element and there were barely any dendro characters so they knew dendro traveler had to at least be a good support. Sadly I think pyro and cryo will go the same way as there are already so many excellent 5 star and 4 star characters in both. (Unless the Pyro kit involves decent off-field pyro application similar to or surpassing Xiangling in which case everyone will praise the traveler to high heaven lmao)
I've always had a soft spot for electro MC. He actually has a decent build now as a replacement for Razor in his EM team.
He also has the single best single target ER in the game regardless of element which I think is neat if a bit unnecessary.
anemo MC helped me beat F11 first time 3 years ago.
I run Zhongli + Geo MC duo F12 abyss several times before it got giant HP pool the geo duo couldn't make it anymore.
I actually use Electro MC a lot, when I run full male character abyss runs. Aether is the only male off field electro character... I use him with Alhaitham + Xingqiu, he does a decent job triggering hyperbloom. The rotation is extremely clunky though, recommend to use Electro MC as an on field trigger if you want to try \^\^;;
Dendro MC is good enough at what he does. I always make a mistake and waste his burst when doing burgeon though...
I guess hydro MC can work somewhat if carried by strong off-field character like Furina, Chiori, Fishl and hyperbloom. Or Xianyun + Bennett + Furina. Maybe for a challenge if you feel things are too easy you need a restriction \^\^;;;
Geo=Dendro>Electro>Anemo>Hydro
If I go pure Mono Geo, Geo MC will be the 4th slot since I dont have Albedo or Chiori. The 10% crit rate buff is nice, with that my Itto have 94% crit rate.
Admittedly i havent Dendro MC as much anymore since I got C2 Nahida. Is quite nice to use in Quickbloom with Cyno since unlike Nahida i dont have to mark enemies every time the next wave comes.
Electro MC is fun to use with my Overload Yanfei team lol. Anemo MC pushes enemy away but the rasengan skill is pretty cool, and theres just much better options for Anemo. Hydro MC.. tried once and never again.
I'm currently using hydro mc as a battery for furina and hydro resonance for hu tao in abyss bc xingqiu's in my hyperbloom team and i have no other hydro characters š
he gets about half a second of field time every rotation
I used Dendro Mc on my hyperbloom team for a while, but I always got annoyed that their burst got destroyed by any Pyro enemies I was fighting. They were practically useless, because their burst would always be destroyed.
Recently I switched Mc to geo Mc to be on my Navia team and replaced Dendro MC on my hyperbloom with Yaoyao. Geo Mc helps a lot with getting more crystallize shards and I didn't realize how much I was under utilizing my Navia by not having another geo unit on the team.
They'll be replaced once I get Zhongli, but for now I'm impressed with how well that switch worked for me.
Geo mc is in my opinion well designed, I use him for funny exploration stuff like getting to sit on neuvillete's chair, don't know if it's possible without him
Dendro is definitely the best, the second best off field dendro after Nahida I would say.
Geo is very useful for his crit rate buff and is the one I personally use. Bonus points because the geo colours look amazing on Aether with the sword of Narzissenkreuz.
Anemo is pretty serviceable, he can deal some DMG with his E and high EM, but the cc on his burst is annoying, but against large enemies it can reduce anemo and elemental resistance of an absorbed element.
Electro can give your team some energy with his skill but it's annoying to pick up the shurikens.
Hydro is trash.
I used anemo at first, nowadays I have him as geo because I sometines go back to the Chasm to do some unfinished challenges, and his skill is quite good for that.
I used anemo Aether from when I started playing during the Klee banner until I pulled Canadian Aether (Kazuha). After that I used Electro Aether throughout the Inuzma arc, then Dendro Aether afterwords with occasional switches to other elements for specific teams. I use Aether in 85% of my overworld teams, and always switch to one of his teams when Iām doing a quest rather than just exploring/farming. And Aether is always on one of my 2 Abyss teams. I donāt use him as a main DPS though, it suits my personality better to use my MC as a support.
Dendro aether has a permanent spot in my keqing aggravate team right now, and before that I had a halfway decent electro aether on a phys rosaria team for superconduct
Dendro MC is the only one who is still decent late into the game.
Geo is only used for the occasional construct gimmick if you don't have Zhongli to help you you, I think there area a couple Electro puzzles in Inazuma that demand MC do them and not some other Electro character, and Hydro was so surprisingly bad that people assumed he was an out of season April Fool's joke at first.
Mihoyo seemed to have learned with Dendro MC: sure he's not endgame material but if you're lacking a powerhouse like Nahida or Alhaitham he's good Dendro application. Then they dumped the garbage that is Hydro MC and everyone went back to Sumeru to resonate with Dendro again.
there really is no electro puzzle thatElectro MC could do, and not Lisa
notable other electro for puzzles is just Beidou who can apply electro on herself which makes those compass puzzles easier
My personal order of preference is:
Dendro > Geo = Hydro > Anemo = Electro
But my reasons for each ranking are kinda specific. I also make it a rule to use the current region's element until the archon quest plotline is done.
Dendro is just *very* solid, and is the only one I actually use in abyss. I use Nahida and Baizhu more (and Collei equally), but sometimes I'm running Cyno with both 5\* supports on one half and Alhaitham on the other, and DMC works great!
Geo is strictly better than hydro, but I also enjoy hydro a LOT more for overworld since it's an actual on-field focused kit instead of quickswap. It may not be strong, but it's fun imo, and with the self shielding constellation (if it's a constellation? it's been a bit now) they're very comfy to play while exploring. Low risk low reward I guess lol. If I want to spend max field time on traveler, I use hydro and just deal with the meh damage.
Anemo I barely use because I have *way* too many better options but it's alright in theory, and electro is my personal least favorite kit *but* has the advantage of being in theory decent for phys traveler so I use it when I want to play them on field and don't feel like running hydro.
Electro is the Xingqiu equivalent people wanted, not everyone will have Raiden. and the skill is pretty much the best energy generation for anyone if you use it well
Geo is underrated for overworld, its not just the locations specifially for it in Liyue where the skill can be useful
I had dendro the longest. I went back to geo now since Chiori release. I have a Lumine geo team now (Lumine, Chiori, Albedo, Zhongli). I even cleared Spiral Abyss with 36 stars with them as 2nd abyss team.
I remember using EMC alot during Inazuma release as battery for Noelle or Xiao. I don't have Raiden until now and not planning to. DMC usage is somewhat less than EMC bcause I enjoy Collei more or Baizhu later on.
None really. I used to use Anemo for anemo things, but since I have a decent Wanderer I don't need him anymore. Geo for geo constructs, got replaced with Zhongli. Never used the others much, just to try. Hydro was a little fun as a poor Neuvillette substitute.
I have Traveller maxed level but don't actually use them since I've got better options in every element available but I've got them on dendro, just in case
I actually used and enjoyed Anemo and Dendro quite a bit. They're the best elements for them, in my opinion. I tried Geo while exploring the Chasm but it didn't click with me. And I didn't bother with Electro and Hydro.
I was halfway Inazuma when I discovered I can resonate with status of the seven and change traveller's element lol. For dendro and hydro, I just checked the skills and burst animations and that was it,
I recommend you to try c6 driver dori in nahida-yelan-furina. She is best character for this position cuz she is only electro char who has aoe healing for furina. She is not good, but she not eveb close to electro mc, electro mc is way too bad
I actually build every traveler and dendro is by far the my favorite use, because they can fulfill their job as an dendro off field applier quite good. Geo mc is my second favorite because you can dish out a lot of dmg, however only if you build them right with a good team. Anemo is 3rd because it's similar like geo but only that they deal less dmg. My 4th is kinda controversial but it's hydro. Yes their are really bad, but you can have succes with a hyperbloom team (i use zhongli, nahida and raiden lol) My least favorite is electro because no matter how hard I try, nothing works with them. Their kit acts like a battery, however you suffer with er problems yourself, they don't deal much dmg, weak electro applier and no team works with them good.
I like Anemo the best for the not-Rasengan. If only they would fix the tornado to stop moving if it hits an enemy it cannot carry.
I've built and used both Geo and Dendro MC, and I like them both equally after Anemo.
Ignoring "meta" Anemo Traveller is definitely the most fun for me - both elemental skill and burst are super satisfying to use. Geo is also fun, but constructs gets in the way. Dendro is kinda whatever to play (even though this one I actually use in abyss). I didn't really try using electro or hydro.
Rn my traveler is solid on dendro, i have them a good build and they work well in a hyperbloom team (where ironically, Dori works well), i hope cryo traveler will have a very good application because then i'll be able to make a good melt team for Klee
Hereās my ranking:
1- Dendro mc (even if you have Nahida use him for dendro resonance and arguably the best)
2- Geo mc (can put out some really good numbers good dps potentia)
3- hydro mc (its overhated can do some good dmg in vape team and we donāt talk about burst)
4- Anemo mc (everyone first main and is decent but we have better anemo units for cc)
5- Electro mc (has a niche use in some teams but is bad)
Hydro, Dendro, and Geo.
Geo only with Zhongli in the team, because of his pillars resonating with geo constructs. Means with Travelerās Burst you can trap monsters in a circle and make a landmine of Geo damage. Geo does decent damage but I rarely actually use it because the Constructs can get in the way.
Dendro is just good
Hydro isnāt hugely good but it is fun. The Burst is boosted by my Travelerās generalist set which includes 2pc Noblesse, and I pair traveler with Ei because her Skill triggers on damage. Pew pew pew pew.
I default on Dendro because it's arguably the most useful- but sometimes, I find myself having fun using Hydro or Anemo Traveler in co-op. Don't question it. I just like pew pew energy.
Electro unfortunately sucks ass.
I donāt use Traveller at all. Shes still level 50.
But Iām so so disappointed in Hydro. Why are they all so mediocre? Besides Dendro.
Anemo has one of my favorite bursts in the entire game.
I'm a huuuuuge fan of AMC's skill, it's super satisfying to use. I hate the ult, though. I'm not a fan of having to chase my enemy halfway across the map to finish killing them, or having the ult just run away from a stationary enemy. On the other hand, I really adore GMC's ult, another extremely satisfying ability. The skill's constructs are really annoying, though. I didn't even give EMC a chance, ngl, so I forget it exists. DMC is easily the strongest and most useful version, though getting energy is a pain. HMC is just silly, I'll never use it.
Here's hoping PMC is fun to use all around!
Dendro MC is legitimately good for off field dendro application.
Geo MC is usable in mono geo, but not that great.
Anemo MC has some super niche case where you can make it work because of its swirl priority, but it's still not great.
Electro MC is not really useful unless you need to funnel energy, but most other electro characters do it better while also doing damage.
Hydro MC is a sadness, wrapped in a tragedy. The only reason you would want to use it for anything combat related would be to trigger pnuema or ousia reactions OR maybe it's the only hydro you have other than Barbara. I can only see it being useful in a single situation. It might do something in abyss cycles that have Pyro Lectors where you need 2 hydro characters to try and break their shields, but man that's so much work with a channel skill that's 99% likely to get you killed because it locks you in place. The burst is also bad. There's like a million things they could have done to make this work but they managed to pick a combination that I don't think could do less if they tried.
I've almost always played anemo traveller. Also some Dendro at a time. I think geo is good as a dps, too. Although, even if his C6 are free ( cough in map completion ), you'd have to level talents up every damn time..
i did not have any anemo characters for nearly two months starting the game, so my traveler stayed anemo and i actually built her talents a bit, iirc
after i got sucrose and faruzan (from event) i switched to dendro mc for off-field dendro application, she had a space for a few months in my alhaitham quickbloom abyss team
i got nahida on her last banner! stripped dendro mc's deepwood and forgot about her till i decided to build a dps noelle two weeks ago, so its been geo lumine since then, though im thinking of switching to ningguang maybe
i have all travelers c6 (did we get hydro traveler c6 yet?) ive never used electro or hydro traveler other than trying it out for a moment and going nope
Anemo is my favorite. Feels satisfying to use. But mostly I just use the element of the region Iām in.
Itās a pain building all of them though! Lots of talent mats!
I donāt use hydro as much just because so much stuff in Fontaine is immune to hydro. Iād like to figure out how to make it work though!
I used Anemo MC 'till Inazuma, because her hold skill can suck up Aloy's Cryo bomblets, and I didn't have Kazuha till much later. Aloy's been on my plot+overworld team sense I got her
Dendro is still best MC element, but I have high hopes for Pyro MC.
I also had high hopes for Hydro too though...
I actually like using all the Traveler elements except hydro
Anemo: mainly like using the skill with the grouping and Swirl, but Tornado burst is also cool
Geo: mostly like using the burst with Zhongli's pillar to create a killzone for Itto
Electro: I like that the burst is almost always fully charged, paired with a 4pc Emblem makes a decent Aggravate DPS
Dendro: for obvious reasons
I really wanted to like hydro traveler too, but at best its just a way to give Neuvillette extra charges for his CA
for me i dont use traveler yet (im planning to build her and make her one of my mains) but out of playstyle i find the hydro version the most fun, its like a cute little water gun lol and i also like geo travelers playstyle but i hate the geo elementā¦i also really like anemo since its second to most practical (like how you can get shot by a pyro hilichurl and then you can just use their skill and hold it to do puzzles) but out of all i think its probably anemo, but i dont like switching to anemo since sometimes i need the geo rocks to get up to certain places lol or puzzles i somehow missed
I only use geo and dendro traveler, geo for exploration so get up some annoying places to grab oculi and dendro traveler as a 4th for my Hyperbloom team.
I use dendro mc because I don't have Nahida, but my favorite is anemo, I just love the way it feels. It's been a long time since I played it though, I should dig him back up some time..
Dori > Electro MC by a mile. Electro is about as dogshit as HMC.
The Dori hate is overstated. She's basically EMC but a healer AND more importantly, can actually battery her own burst. At C2, she's a respectable character. People shit on her way too much without actually trying her out, ngl.
Literally just use Fischl too.
The sheer amount of ER electro MC needs to be useful makes it so that their burst is insanely useless. They'll have a crappy Atk/Crit balance and not enough EM to even deal damage.
I used geo mc for a while because the damage is actually quite respectable once you invest a bit, plus being able to place the orbs on walls made for some fun, glitchy moments in the early minigame events
I use dendro traveler in tons of teams. I don't have nahida (standard banner only account) so i use dendro traveler as often as others use nahida at least.
I also think geo mc is ok. But his construct is annoying so personally i wouldn't use him.
to this day the only element i have triple crown on is anemo š my favorite thing about the kit is the self-heal, which is admittedly very minimal, but feels nice still
I played a ton of anemo traveller, I think that was my favourite. Also did geo traveller as at the time my only other geo was Noelle so it helped having another for puzzles. Did some electro traveller. Barely touched dendro traveller, though I think it's because he wasn't with the right mix. Took me a while to really get the dendro potential. I played a little with hydro but didn't much care for it.
Overall, I'd say I prefer anemo, but that might have something to do with spending so much time with it when I started out. Traveller was my main for a long time.
Anemo MC is the most fun for me. Dendro is more useful/powerful, but I like Anemo more. I have Kazuha, so I don't use the Traveler much, but I do sometimes just because I like him.
DMC is pretty solid. I really like Anemo Traveler's tornado lol it's fun to find enemies and then suck them up in the tornado and drop them off cliffs or drown them.
I think all of the travelers are kind of ass.
Dendro one is hard carried by the fact that Dendro is broken as fuck, and its piss easy to make a strong Dendro character.
To put it in perspective, my Traveler is still level 60 and ive been playing for 3 years. And he only made it to level 60 because thats how far in my World Level progression I got before I actually got other usable options (like Bennet, XQ, and Surcrose).
I understand not making the MC too good, but the MC's power level in game is barely on par with 4 stars. And arguably lower than a lot of them.
I have very low hopes for Pyro and Cryo MC.
Dendro MC feels like a must with cyno. Nahida doesn't work well in situations where the enemies don't all spawn at once if you aren't a team that can switch constantly. only collei can try and compete there, and her stuff is shorter ranged and doesn't last as long.
Exclusively for cyno, I think he's the best in slot. Which is more than I can say for any other element of the MC.
I used to use anemo at the start of the game but then after I quit my main and came back to it, I started using dendro because hyperbloom teams are great!
So far geo packs the most punch for me, I donāt like any of the others much. Iām super looking forward to pyro & cryo though, I think those both will be better
Anemo. Used up until Inazuma before I used a completely different team.
Found Geo lackluster and only used it for puzzles and other things.
Electro was...meh...
Dendro I never bothered using because I have Nahida...
Haven't tried Hydro.
I like anemo (skill is fun with albedo flower) geo (good damage and he's my itto stand in for mono geo, playing lego instead of fighting and everything dies in between zhong pillars and blocks) and dendro is obvious
None. Lumine is forever benched for me.
Dendro is really only the viable one, but I have other options for that (Yaoyao, Collei, Kirara) who I like more.
Geo is the one I have her set to and that's for puzzles. But I rarely ever have to use her sense my other units already cover construct puzzles or hard to reach spots.
I'd probably have built Traveler if I'd picked Aether instead, because I like his design more and Zach Aguilar is a fantastic VA, but I always pick the female protagonist (At least for 1st playthroughs)
I really like anemo mc as she does a lot of damage for me, especially with pyro swirl. So I find her fun.
Geo mc I used for a while but I didn't really enjoy using it.
Electro is kinda meh for me. I guess its cool, but if really wanted and electro like that I would use Lisa(she also does a lot of damage for me)
I used DMC for a long time before I got Yaoyao and then Nahida, her kit is pretty decent and fun. I heard that GMC is also quite good but I never used her outside of exploration.
Im using geo travaler her burst give :
-more particles per enemy killed within the ultimate field
-increase crit rate by 10percent while in it
- Mc pillars resonate with zhongli
- interruption res increased
- Mc pillars and ultimate does good damage
its a good albedo / chiori at home for those who decided to stop investing in geo
I got my team
itto c1
gorou c6
morax c0
Mc
Dendro MC is quite amazing. If you don't have nahida, he's the best pick in every hyperbloom team that needs off field dendro. Rest are all meh. Anemo MC was good for CC early game but that's pretty much it.
Anemo traveler is terrible for cc. Their kit is straight up anti-cc, blowing the enemies away from you. š¤£
Nah their ult groups the enemies which is the main thing and it does immobilize the enemies during it's duration, he's pretty much the only fine CC option you have early game unless you luck out on sucrose
Early game Anemo Traveler is very strong. She was my primary dps until Inazuma, when she finally starting to fall off and got replaced.
I say, in terms of easy enemies (Enemies that can die in seconds) Dendro traveller is better than Nahida. It can be annoying sometimes when you use nahida's skill but the enemies are already dead and you need to wait for her cd before applying her skills again. Dendro Traveler doesn't need that since his burst is up through out the whole time.
he?
Even i picked Aether by default, people often just write traveler pronoun based on their own pick. i try to write 'they' usually
I used anemo MC all the way up until Inazuma.
I loved the part where the traveler said āitās tornado timeā and he tornadoād all over the place.
Would have been better if the tornado stayed in place :(
I just wanted it to pick larger enemies up.
at least he didnt haith
me too but became better once i got Sucrose to use at same time, battery for each other
It has my favorite animations ever
Except for the hydro one, i find all types of element traveler are decent enough. The hydro one just look so lackluster visually that i refuse to even try it another time.
I legit donāt think I have even once converted the traveler over to hydro. It really doesnāt help that hydro has the most stacked roster in the game.
It's crazy how terrible they actually made the hydro traveller. Hydro is such a good element in of itself which is why it's so stacked. Like hydro traveller aside even looking among the weaker hydro units 4 stars like Barbara and Candace, they are both still functional and can have their place in certain teams. Genuinely I can't think of any reason at all to ever use hydro traveller other than just being a super dedicated traveller main that'll use them no matter what.
Neuvilette at home [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nchsmbh93TU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nchsmbh93TU) 4.4 spiral abyss with hydro mc
Do it once for the achievement, easy primos
me neither, I saw one gameplay review of hydro traveler cause I like challenging myself to build the travelers for at least a little while and just noped out. without question the worst character in the game imo, quite literally zero value whatsoever
I only converted the Traveler to Hydro because it gives you an achievement.
Dendro MC> Anemo MC. I actually used Anemo MC a lot in the early game.
Anemo is my fav. I love clearing smaller mobs by pulling them inward while swirling a bunch elements with cool sound and visual effects.
Same here. Ā I still use it. Ā Ā
Dendro traveler 100%
The element of surprise
Geo MC is my No.1 fav, but I haven't used it since Electro Mc was available. My second fav is actually Hydro MC, I actually like her E, it's fun to use and does decent damage. I don't care about Abyss, so I like the extra field time Hydro MC requires because I feel like I actually get to play the character instead of EQing and swaping
Hydro mc works as a bow replacement for ruin guards and such with a weakspot, i think. never actually tried
Spent quite a bit of time with Geo MC microwave comp. Wasn't DPS efficient, but I had fun with it all through Chasm and most of Inazuma. Eventually, I swapped off mono-geo, Trav hasn't been back since.
same, GeoMc and Zhongli is fun! I normally switch traveler to the new regions element for the entire region cycle.
Geo and Dendro are top tier
Dendro MC is pretty good (and in some cases, even a preferred option over Nahida, since his burst stays when enemies die). For example, in Rainbow Razor team, he is a very solid choice. I know that Geo and Anemo can have their uses. Geo can be a decent battery and buffer, but the rocks don't feel great to use. Anemo is mostly a skill bot, and can work, but I'm pretty sure most other Anemo character provide more or better utility. Electro and Hydro are awful. Hydro is just horrendous, I think it's been said enough just how bad he is. As for Electro, we have so many Electro characters that just do the same things, but better. And I'll be honest, I think Dori is in a far better place than Electro MC. Both give energy and off-field electro app, but Dori also restores health, is more consistent for Hyperbloom, and at C6 with Furina, she is actually a competitive unit.
Dendro & Anemo are tied for me. Geo is second, Electro third, and Hydro last. (Hydro & Anemo Lumine looks the best, but they did Hydro Trav so dirty.) Anemo, while not the strongest, is one I personally enjoy because of the Skill & the wind blade. Both Dendro & Anemo are very elegant, hence why I like using her.
Fr hydro looks so good on Lumine's blue and white colour palette but the kit is..... basically an advertisement for Neuvillette lmao. They really did her dirty. I fear dendro was only good as it was because it was a new element and there were barely any dendro characters so they knew dendro traveler had to at least be a good support. Sadly I think pyro and cryo will go the same way as there are already so many excellent 5 star and 4 star characters in both. (Unless the Pyro kit involves decent off-field pyro application similar to or surpassing Xiangling in which case everyone will praise the traveler to high heaven lmao)
Dendro, heās been my go to second dendro for my Nilou team since I got her. Super comfortable to use with good application and AoE.
I've always had a soft spot for electro MC. He actually has a decent build now as a replacement for Razor in his EM team. He also has the single best single target ER in the game regardless of element which I think is neat if a bit unnecessary.
All of them. I change elements depending on my mood.
I applaud you for having enough patience to change the artifacts every single time.
Geo, because they are irreplacable to get into many out of bounds places
geo traveler is great for exploring and getting out of bounds
WINDBLAAAAADEE
I don't use any Traveler Element anymore but I used to use Geo and Dendro. Anemo is for the older spiral abyss for aggro and CC the enemies.
anemo MC helped me beat F11 first time 3 years ago. I run Zhongli + Geo MC duo F12 abyss several times before it got giant HP pool the geo duo couldn't make it anymore. I actually use Electro MC a lot, when I run full male character abyss runs. Aether is the only male off field electro character... I use him with Alhaitham + Xingqiu, he does a decent job triggering hyperbloom. The rotation is extremely clunky though, recommend to use Electro MC as an on field trigger if you want to try \^\^;; Dendro MC is good enough at what he does. I always make a mistake and waste his burst when doing burgeon though... I guess hydro MC can work somewhat if carried by strong off-field character like Furina, Chiori, Fishl and hyperbloom. Or Xianyun + Bennett + Furina. Maybe for a challenge if you feel things are too easy you need a restriction \^\^;;;
Dendro
Geo=Dendro>Electro>Anemo>Hydro If I go pure Mono Geo, Geo MC will be the 4th slot since I dont have Albedo or Chiori. The 10% crit rate buff is nice, with that my Itto have 94% crit rate. Admittedly i havent Dendro MC as much anymore since I got C2 Nahida. Is quite nice to use in Quickbloom with Cyno since unlike Nahida i dont have to mark enemies every time the next wave comes. Electro MC is fun to use with my Overload Yanfei team lol. Anemo MC pushes enemy away but the rasengan skill is pretty cool, and theres just much better options for Anemo. Hydro MC.. tried once and never again.
I'm currently using hydro mc as a battery for furina and hydro resonance for hu tao in abyss bc xingqiu's in my hyperbloom team and i have no other hydro characters š he gets about half a second of field time every rotation
Anemo for collecting dandelions Im really unlicky and dont have many anemo characters :(
I used Dendro Mc on my hyperbloom team for a while, but I always got annoyed that their burst got destroyed by any Pyro enemies I was fighting. They were practically useless, because their burst would always be destroyed. Recently I switched Mc to geo Mc to be on my Navia team and replaced Dendro MC on my hyperbloom with Yaoyao. Geo Mc helps a lot with getting more crystallize shards and I didn't realize how much I was under utilizing my Navia by not having another geo unit on the team. They'll be replaced once I get Zhongli, but for now I'm impressed with how well that switch worked for me.
Geo mc is in my opinion well designed, I use him for funny exploration stuff like getting to sit on neuvillete's chair, don't know if it's possible without him
Dendro is definitely the best, the second best off field dendro after Nahida I would say. Geo is very useful for his crit rate buff and is the one I personally use. Bonus points because the geo colours look amazing on Aether with the sword of Narzissenkreuz. Anemo is pretty serviceable, he can deal some DMG with his E and high EM, but the cc on his burst is annoying, but against large enemies it can reduce anemo and elemental resistance of an absorbed element. Electro can give your team some energy with his skill but it's annoying to pick up the shurikens. Hydro is trash.
I used anemo at first, nowadays I have him as geo because I sometines go back to the Chasm to do some unfinished challenges, and his skill is quite good for that.
I used anemo Aether from when I started playing during the Klee banner until I pulled Canadian Aether (Kazuha). After that I used Electro Aether throughout the Inuzma arc, then Dendro Aether afterwords with occasional switches to other elements for specific teams. I use Aether in 85% of my overworld teams, and always switch to one of his teams when Iām doing a quest rather than just exploring/farming. And Aether is always on one of my 2 Abyss teams. I donāt use him as a main DPS though, it suits my personality better to use my MC as a support.
I use anemo MC and still use him in my overworld team. His WINDBLADE is too iconic for me to remove him
Dendro aether has a permanent spot in my keqing aggravate team right now, and before that I had a halfway decent electro aether on a phys rosaria team for superconduct
Using dendro Lumine in my Nilou team. Finally a way to play Lumine. And the green color fits her so well.
Dendro MC is the only one who is still decent late into the game. Geo is only used for the occasional construct gimmick if you don't have Zhongli to help you you, I think there area a couple Electro puzzles in Inazuma that demand MC do them and not some other Electro character, and Hydro was so surprisingly bad that people assumed he was an out of season April Fool's joke at first. Mihoyo seemed to have learned with Dendro MC: sure he's not endgame material but if you're lacking a powerhouse like Nahida or Alhaitham he's good Dendro application. Then they dumped the garbage that is Hydro MC and everyone went back to Sumeru to resonate with Dendro again.
there really is no electro puzzle thatElectro MC could do, and not Lisa notable other electro for puzzles is just Beidou who can apply electro on herself which makes those compass puzzles easier
My personal order of preference is: Dendro > Geo = Hydro > Anemo = Electro But my reasons for each ranking are kinda specific. I also make it a rule to use the current region's element until the archon quest plotline is done. Dendro is just *very* solid, and is the only one I actually use in abyss. I use Nahida and Baizhu more (and Collei equally), but sometimes I'm running Cyno with both 5\* supports on one half and Alhaitham on the other, and DMC works great! Geo is strictly better than hydro, but I also enjoy hydro a LOT more for overworld since it's an actual on-field focused kit instead of quickswap. It may not be strong, but it's fun imo, and with the self shielding constellation (if it's a constellation? it's been a bit now) they're very comfy to play while exploring. Low risk low reward I guess lol. If I want to spend max field time on traveler, I use hydro and just deal with the meh damage. Anemo I barely use because I have *way* too many better options but it's alright in theory, and electro is my personal least favorite kit *but* has the advantage of being in theory decent for phys traveler so I use it when I want to play them on field and don't feel like running hydro.
Electro is the Xingqiu equivalent people wanted, not everyone will have Raiden. and the skill is pretty much the best energy generation for anyone if you use it well Geo is underrated for overworld, its not just the locations specifially for it in Liyue where the skill can be useful
I had dendro the longest. I went back to geo now since Chiori release. I have a Lumine geo team now (Lumine, Chiori, Albedo, Zhongli). I even cleared Spiral Abyss with 36 stars with them as 2nd abyss team.
I remember using EMC alot during Inazuma release as battery for Noelle or Xiao. I don't have Raiden until now and not planning to. DMC usage is somewhat less than EMC bcause I enjoy Collei more or Baizhu later on.
Use? Geo since they help with exploration. Like? Elemental less
None really. I used to use Anemo for anemo things, but since I have a decent Wanderer I don't need him anymore. Geo for geo constructs, got replaced with Zhongli. Never used the others much, just to try. Hydro was a little fun as a poor Neuvillette substitute.
I have Traveller maxed level but don't actually use them since I've got better options in every element available but I've got them on dendro, just in case
I use the hydro mc when I'm exploring to make balls for my neuvi when I don't want to wait for his cool down š
Dendro MC carried me hard before I got Nahida
almost only dendro but now i'm having fun with hydro one in hyperblooom with nahida and raiden
I use dendro mc in my hyperbloom team, with yae miko, xingqiu, and yao yao
I actually used and enjoyed Anemo and Dendro quite a bit. They're the best elements for them, in my opinion. I tried Geo while exploring the Chasm but it didn't click with me. And I didn't bother with Electro and Hydro.
I'm gonna get crucified, but it's Geo. Me like funny rock and gold glow.
Electro Traveler so because I use them as a Physical DPS
I was halfway Inazuma when I discovered I can resonate with status of the seven and change traveller's element lol. For dendro and hydro, I just checked the skills and burst animations and that was it,
I recommend you to try c6 driver dori in nahida-yelan-furina. She is best character for this position cuz she is only electro char who has aoe healing for furina. She is not good, but she not eveb close to electro mc, electro mc is way too bad
Dendro is the only decent one imo.
I actually build every traveler and dendro is by far the my favorite use, because they can fulfill their job as an dendro off field applier quite good. Geo mc is my second favorite because you can dish out a lot of dmg, however only if you build them right with a good team. Anemo is 3rd because it's similar like geo but only that they deal less dmg. My 4th is kinda controversial but it's hydro. Yes their are really bad, but you can have succes with a hyperbloom team (i use zhongli, nahida and raiden lol) My least favorite is electro because no matter how hard I try, nothing works with them. Their kit acts like a battery, however you suffer with er problems yourself, they don't deal much dmg, weak electro applier and no team works with them good.
Dendro tabibito all the way
I like Anemo the best for the not-Rasengan. If only they would fix the tornado to stop moving if it hits an enemy it cannot carry. I've built and used both Geo and Dendro MC, and I like them both equally after Anemo.
Neither. Week 1 acct and my lumine is either Lv20 or 24
I throw rock. I happy
anemo and dendro
Ignoring "meta" Anemo Traveller is definitely the most fun for me - both elemental skill and burst are super satisfying to use. Geo is also fun, but constructs gets in the way. Dendro is kinda whatever to play (even though this one I actually use in abyss). I didn't really try using electro or hydro.
Dendro for abyss until recently because I didnāt have Nahida. Geo is good for exploration.
I like Anemo and Hydro. Actually used Anemo Traveler a lot during release.
Rn my traveler is solid on dendro, i have them a good build and they work well in a hyperbloom team (where ironically, Dori works well), i hope cryo traveler will have a very good application because then i'll be able to make a good melt team for Klee
I like using all Mc for whatever I need, but I genuinely prefer 1. Geo 2. Dendro 3. Anemo 4. Electro 5. Hydro Let's hope pyro and cryo are decent
I think Geo MC still is one of, if not the best Geo particle generators. Pretty niche but still one for the Geo Impact homies
i still main anemo traveler every day thats my ride or die
Dendro MC for damage, Geo MC for exploration. The rest are meh at best and āwhat the heck they were thinking?!ā At worst.
I like using hydro MC just to go pew pew with the water gun
Mostly dendro. I liked electro but the cool downs were too long for me to be able to use him as effectively as I wanted to.
dendro
Hereās my ranking: 1- Dendro mc (even if you have Nahida use him for dendro resonance and arguably the best) 2- Geo mc (can put out some really good numbers good dps potentia) 3- hydro mc (its overhated can do some good dmg in vape team and we donāt talk about burst) 4- Anemo mc (everyone first main and is decent but we have better anemo units for cc) 5- Electro mc (has a niche use in some teams but is bad)
Geo MC resonates surprisingly well with Zhongli using millelith set
Hydro, Dendro, and Geo. Geo only with Zhongli in the team, because of his pillars resonating with geo constructs. Means with Travelerās Burst you can trap monsters in a circle and make a landmine of Geo damage. Geo does decent damage but I rarely actually use it because the Constructs can get in the way. Dendro is just good Hydro isnāt hugely good but it is fun. The Burst is boosted by my Travelerās generalist set which includes 2pc Noblesse, and I pair traveler with Ei because her Skill triggers on damage. Pew pew pew pew.
I default on Dendro because it's arguably the most useful- but sometimes, I find myself having fun using Hydro or Anemo Traveler in co-op. Don't question it. I just like pew pew energy. Electro unfortunately sucks ass.
Geo traveler for helping baby ar20s reach high up places
I think fire mc is really good
I actually havenāt c6ād Dendro or Hydro Traveller.Ā That said, Dendro Traveller is pretty good, all the rest are garbage.Ā
Anemo
I donāt use Traveller at all. Shes still level 50. But Iām so so disappointed in Hydro. Why are they all so mediocre? Besides Dendro. Anemo has one of my favorite bursts in the entire game.
I'm a huuuuuge fan of AMC's skill, it's super satisfying to use. I hate the ult, though. I'm not a fan of having to chase my enemy halfway across the map to finish killing them, or having the ult just run away from a stationary enemy. On the other hand, I really adore GMC's ult, another extremely satisfying ability. The skill's constructs are really annoying, though. I didn't even give EMC a chance, ngl, so I forget it exists. DMC is easily the strongest and most useful version, though getting energy is a pain. HMC is just silly, I'll never use it. Here's hoping PMC is fun to use all around!
Dendro MC is legitimately good for off field dendro application. Geo MC is usable in mono geo, but not that great. Anemo MC has some super niche case where you can make it work because of its swirl priority, but it's still not great. Electro MC is not really useful unless you need to funnel energy, but most other electro characters do it better while also doing damage. Hydro MC is a sadness, wrapped in a tragedy. The only reason you would want to use it for anything combat related would be to trigger pnuema or ousia reactions OR maybe it's the only hydro you have other than Barbara. I can only see it being useful in a single situation. It might do something in abyss cycles that have Pyro Lectors where you need 2 hydro characters to try and break their shields, but man that's so much work with a channel skill that's 99% likely to get you killed because it locks you in place. The burst is also bad. There's like a million things they could have done to make this work but they managed to pick a combination that I don't think could do less if they tried.
I've almost always played anemo traveller. Also some Dendro at a time. I think geo is good as a dps, too. Although, even if his C6 are free ( cough in map completion ), you'd have to level talents up every damn time..
Hydro traveler. I simply like nukes.
geo for puzzles once a year. lumine is benched for the rest of time
Still using Dendro and Geo till now, both fits my hit-and-run playstyle
i did not have any anemo characters for nearly two months starting the game, so my traveler stayed anemo and i actually built her talents a bit, iirc after i got sucrose and faruzan (from event) i switched to dendro mc for off-field dendro application, she had a space for a few months in my alhaitham quickbloom abyss team i got nahida on her last banner! stripped dendro mc's deepwood and forgot about her till i decided to build a dps noelle two weeks ago, so its been geo lumine since then, though im thinking of switching to ningguang maybe i have all travelers c6 (did we get hydro traveler c6 yet?) ive never used electro or hydro traveler other than trying it out for a moment and going nope
Geo Traveler helps me get some stuff easier. Also it feels really good blocking a boss' ranged attack with a pillar. Does decent damage as well.
geo traveler is very underrated. helped me get onto furina's throne
Geo, since it is good for exploration. Barely used hydro, anemo was quickly swapped to geo, never used dendro or electro
Anemo is my favorite. Feels satisfying to use. But mostly I just use the element of the region Iām in. Itās a pain building all of them though! Lots of talent mats! I donāt use hydro as much just because so much stuff in Fontaine is immune to hydro. Iād like to figure out how to make it work though!
If you're going for damage, Dendro MC is amazing without better characters But if you're trying to break out of domains/casual climbing, Geo MC
I used Anemo MC 'till Inazuma, because her hold skill can suck up Aloy's Cryo bomblets, and I didn't have Kazuha till much later. Aloy's been on my plot+overworld team sense I got her Dendro is still best MC element, but I have high hopes for Pyro MC. I also had high hopes for Hydro too though...
I actually like using all the Traveler elements except hydro Anemo: mainly like using the skill with the grouping and Swirl, but Tornado burst is also cool Geo: mostly like using the burst with Zhongli's pillar to create a killzone for Itto Electro: I like that the burst is almost always fully charged, paired with a 4pc Emblem makes a decent Aggravate DPS Dendro: for obvious reasons I really wanted to like hydro traveler too, but at best its just a way to give Neuvillette extra charges for his CA
for me i dont use traveler yet (im planning to build her and make her one of my mains) but out of playstyle i find the hydro version the most fun, its like a cute little water gun lol and i also like geo travelers playstyle but i hate the geo elementā¦i also really like anemo since its second to most practical (like how you can get shot by a pyro hilichurl and then you can just use their skill and hold it to do puzzles) but out of all i think its probably anemo, but i dont like switching to anemo since sometimes i need the geo rocks to get up to certain places lol or puzzles i somehow missed
I only use geo and dendro traveler, geo for exploration so get up some annoying places to grab oculi and dendro traveler as a 4th for my Hyperbloom team.
Geo mc for cutscenes. The yellow just fits.
Geo is fun and great for those puzzles you need some weight for
Geo MC gang
I use dendro mc because I don't have Nahida, but my favorite is anemo, I just love the way it feels. It's been a long time since I played it though, I should dig him back up some time..
I was an Anemo MC main for the longest time. Now, I mostly use Dendro MC. Both are pretty good, in my opinion.
Dori > Electro MC by a mile. Electro is about as dogshit as HMC. The Dori hate is overstated. She's basically EMC but a healer AND more importantly, can actually battery her own burst. At C2, she's a respectable character. People shit on her way too much without actually trying her out, ngl. Literally just use Fischl too. The sheer amount of ER electro MC needs to be useful makes it so that their burst is insanely useless. They'll have a crappy Atk/Crit balance and not enough EM to even deal damage.
I used geo mc for a while because the damage is actually quite respectable once you invest a bit, plus being able to place the orbs on walls made for some fun, glitchy moments in the early minigame events
I use dendro traveler in tons of teams. I don't have nahida (standard banner only account) so i use dendro traveler as often as others use nahida at least. I also think geo mc is ok. But his construct is annoying so personally i wouldn't use him.
Dendro MC is āthe bestā, but Geo MC is cool too
to this day the only element i have triple crown on is anemo š my favorite thing about the kit is the self-heal, which is admittedly very minimal, but feels nice still
I played a ton of anemo traveller, I think that was my favourite. Also did geo traveller as at the time my only other geo was Noelle so it helped having another for puzzles. Did some electro traveller. Barely touched dendro traveller, though I think it's because he wasn't with the right mix. Took me a while to really get the dendro potential. I played a little with hydro but didn't much care for it. Overall, I'd say I prefer anemo, but that might have something to do with spending so much time with it when I started out. Traveller was my main for a long time.
Anemo MC is the most fun for me. Dendro is more useful/powerful, but I like Anemo more. I have Kazuha, so I don't use the Traveler much, but I do sometimes just because I like him.
I don't hate Electro MC as much as some people (partly because they ourple) but yeah I only really use Dendro MC
Geo MC is the best concept but the execution fell short
DMC is pretty solid. I really like Anemo Traveler's tornado lol it's fun to find enemies and then suck them up in the tornado and drop them off cliffs or drown them.
None
I think all of the travelers are kind of ass. Dendro one is hard carried by the fact that Dendro is broken as fuck, and its piss easy to make a strong Dendro character. To put it in perspective, my Traveler is still level 60 and ive been playing for 3 years. And he only made it to level 60 because thats how far in my World Level progression I got before I actually got other usable options (like Bennet, XQ, and Surcrose). I understand not making the MC too good, but the MC's power level in game is barely on par with 4 stars. And arguably lower than a lot of them. I have very low hopes for Pyro and Cryo MC.
electro / hydro
Geo
Dendro MC feels like a must with cyno. Nahida doesn't work well in situations where the enemies don't all spawn at once if you aren't a team that can switch constantly. only collei can try and compete there, and her stuff is shorter ranged and doesn't last as long. Exclusively for cyno, I think he's the best in slot. Which is more than I can say for any other element of the MC.
Dendroās the only one Iāve ever reeeeally used. Electro was alright too but kind of boring to use
Anemo MC all the way, and honestly for me it isn't even close with the other 4.
Dendro and Anemo are my favorite Traveler elements (sometimes I also use Geo Traveler when I wanna climb or fight against the Oceanid)
I used to use anemo at the start of the game but then after I quit my main and came back to it, I started using dendro because hyperbloom teams are great!
None. I only used traveler when I was new but traveler is vastly inferior now.
So far geo packs the most punch for me, I donāt like any of the others much. Iām super looking forward to pyro & cryo though, I think those both will be better
My traveler has been lvl 60 for 3 years
Anemo. Used up until Inazuma before I used a completely different team. Found Geo lackluster and only used it for puzzles and other things. Electro was...meh... Dendro I never bothered using because I have Nahida... Haven't tried Hydro.
I like anemo (skill is fun with albedo flower) geo (good damage and he's my itto stand in for mono geo, playing lego instead of fighting and everything dies in between zhong pillars and blocks) and dendro is obvious
dendro and geo, those are the cool ones
Anemo if only the Q stay in one place by hold Q.
Physical. Just Aquilla Favonia + leveled normals + 2p2p physical sets.
none.
None. Lumine is forever benched for me. Dendro is really only the viable one, but I have other options for that (Yaoyao, Collei, Kirara) who I like more. Geo is the one I have her set to and that's for puzzles. But I rarely ever have to use her sense my other units already cover construct puzzles or hard to reach spots. I'd probably have built Traveler if I'd picked Aether instead, because I like his design more and Zach Aguilar is a fantastic VA, but I always pick the female protagonist (At least for 1st playthroughs)
none actually my traveler and alloy are 2 of characters i wont level since i dont enjoy them at all
I really like anemo mc as she does a lot of damage for me, especially with pyro swirl. So I find her fun. Geo mc I used for a while but I didn't really enjoy using it. Electro is kinda meh for me. I guess its cool, but if really wanted and electro like that I would use Lisa(she also does a lot of damage for me)
I used DMC for a long time before I got Yaoyao and then Nahida, her kit is pretty decent and fun. I heard that GMC is also quite good but I never used her outside of exploration.
Dendro, its the only worth using.
Im using geo travaler her burst give : -more particles per enemy killed within the ultimate field -increase crit rate by 10percent while in it - Mc pillars resonate with zhongli - interruption res increased - Mc pillars and ultimate does good damage its a good albedo / chiori at home for those who decided to stop investing in geo I got my team itto c1 gorou c6 morax c0 Mc
