Back to All Characters

Being the main character allows the Traveler to switch between all of Teyvat’s Elements in Genshin Impact. When visiting Statues of the Seven in Genshin Impact, you have the opportunity to switch the Traveler's Elements. To do this, simply visit one of the Statues of the region featuring the Element you desire.

Unfortunately, most of these Elements are underwhelming and don’t offer anything for their team. However, with some proper builds, you can let your Traveler shine with the desired Element.

Updated on January 2, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: With each Element in Genshin Impact, the Traveler’s mechanics change and they operate differently on the battlefield. That also affects their role during combat, giving each Element its own build. After acquiring many new Elements, the Traveler finally gets their hands on the Pyro Element. Of course, a new Element means a new Pyro Traveler build in Genshin Impact, which means more artifacts and weapons to work with. This guide will be updated to include the best Pyro Traveler build in Genshin Impact.

Anemo Traveler Build In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact: The Best Build for Traveler (9)

Weapon

Artifact Set

Stats

  1. Freedom-Sworn
  2. Key of Khaj-Nisut
  3. Skyward Blade
  4. Xiphos' Moonlight
  5. Sacrificial Sword
  6. Favonius Sword
  7. Festering Desire
  8. Iron Sting
  9. Toukabou Shigure
  • 4pc Viridescent Venerer
  • 4pc Noblesse Oblige
  • 4pc Instructor
  • Timepiece: Energy Recharge or Elemental Mastery
  • Goblet: Elemental Mastery
  • Circlet: Elemental Mastery
  • Sub-stat: Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery

Most of the Anemo Traveler’s mechanics revolve around casting their Elemental Skill and Burst. Moreover, if you build your Anemo Traveler with 4pc of Viridescent Venerer, it will take advantage of the Anemo supportive capabilities through every Swirl reaction in Genshin Impact. For this reason, you want to focus on using the Traveler as an Anemo Support to deal Anemo DMG and trigger the Swirl Reaction as often as possible. The Anemo Traveler doesn’t need fancy stats like ATK or the Critical ones. All they need is Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge.

As for the best 5-Star weapon, opt for Freedom-Sworn as it increases the Anemo Traveler’s Elemental Mastery and fully unlocks their status as a Support by increasing their entire team attack and Normal, Charged, and Plunging DMG. Alternatively, Key of Khaj-Nisut and Skyward Blade are also viable. For F2P, go for Sacrificial Sword, Festering Desire, or Favonius Sword as they increase the Anemo Traveler’s Energy Recharge and help them cast their Elemental Burst more often.

Geo Traveler Build In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact: The Best Build for Traveler (10)

Weapon

Artifact Set

Stats

  1. Mistsplitter Reforged
  2. Primordial Jade Cutter
  3. Skyward Blade
  4. Fleuve Cendre Ferryman
  5. Festering Desire
  • 4pc Noblesse Oblige
  • 4pc Archaic Petra
  • Timepiece: Energy Recharge or ATK
  • Goblet: Geo DMG
  • Circlet: Crit Rate or DMG
  • Sub-stat: Energy Recharge, Crit DMG, Crit Rate, and ATK

Geo Traveler can be a decent Sub-DPS if they get their hands on the right build. Their playstyle changes the shape of the battlefield as they spam their Geo constructions. As a Sub-DPS, the Geo Traveler will barely spend time on the field, so it’s better to equip a set that buffs their team. 4pc of Noblesse Oblige and 4pc of Archaic Petra are the best options for applying this kind of buff. Noblesse comes first as it’s a simple addition of 20% ATK whenever the Traveler uses their Burst.

As for weapons, the Geo Traveler's best 5-star weapon in Genshin Impact is Mistsplitter Reforged and Primordial Jade Cutter because of the amount of Critical and ATK the weapon gives. the best F2P sword for the Geo unit is Fleuve Cendre Ferryman since it buffs their Elemental Skill and gives them Energy Recharge for their Elemental Burst.

Electro Traveler Build In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact: The Best Build for Traveler (12)

Weapon

Artifact Set

Stats

  1. Favonius Sword
  2. Freedom-Sworn
  3. Xiphos' Moonlight
  4. Sapwood Blade
  5. Sacrificial Sword
  6. Iron Sting
  7. Toukabou Shigure
  8. Dark Iron Sword
  • 4pc Flower of Paradise Lost
  • 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate
  • Timepiece: Energy Recharge
  • Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus or Elemental Mastery
  • Circlet: Crit Rate or Elemental Mastery
  • Sub-stat: Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery, and Crit Rate

Electro Traveler is one of the best batteries in Genshin Impact, but that isn’t all that the Electro Unit can do. They can be a really good trigger for Hyperbloom teams in Genshin Impact. Since the amount of regeneration the Traveler grants scales with Energy Recharge, you should build the Electro Traveler to have as much Energy Recharge as possible.

If you want the Electro Traveler to play the role of a battery in Genshin Impact, all you have to do is give them 4pc of Emblem of Severed Fate and Favonius Sword. Both Emblem and Favonius are easy to get, on top of maximizing the Energy regeneration the Electro Traveler can offer for their team. However, adding some Elemental Mastery while building the Electro Traveler on 4pc of Flower of Paradise Lost will allow them to be part of Hyperbloom teams on top of greatly regenerating their team’s energy.

Dendro Traveler Build In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact: The Best Build for Traveler (13)

Weapon

Artifact Set

Stats

  1. Freedom-Sworn
  2. Xiphos' Moonlight
  3. Sapwood Blade
  4. Sacrificial Sword
  5. Iron Sting
  6. Toukabou Shigure
  7. Dark Iron Sword
  • 4pc Deepwood Memories
  • 4pc Noblesse Oblige
  • 4pc Unfinished Reverie
  • Timepiece: Elemental Mastery or ATK
  • Goblet: Dendro DMG or Elemental Mastery
  • Circlet: Crit Rate or DMG
  • Sub-stat: Elemental Mastery, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Energy Recharge, and ATK

Surprisingly, Dendro is one of the best Elements for the Traveler in Genshin Impact. It even has a decent build that can help their team deal a lot of damage through Dendro reactions in Genshin Impact. The Dendro Traveler also has a good Dendro application through their Elemental Burst, which helps them take advantage of the effect of the 4pc of Deepwood Memories. With that set, the Dendro Traveler can keep shredding enemies’ Dendro resistance and help their team deal more Dendro DMG.

The Dendro Traveler’s scaling is decent enough for them to operate as a Sub-DPS in Genshin Impact. For that, giving them Elemental Mastery, Dendro DMG, and Crit items is viable for their build. However, they still lean more into the supportive role, so giving them weapons like Freedom-Sworn and Xiphos' Moonlight is more helpful to the team.

Hydro Traveler Build In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact: The Best Build for Traveler (14)

Weapon

Artifact Set

Stats

  1. Splendor of Tranquil Waters
  2. Primordial Jade Cutter
  3. Wolf-Fang
  • 2pc Nymph's Dream
  • 2pc Heart of Depth
  • 2pc Golden Troupe
  • Timepiece: ATK
  • Goblet: Hydro DMG
  • Circlet: Crit Rate or DMG
  • Sub-stat: Crit DMG, Crit Rate, and ATK

It’s much better to not build the Hydro Traveler at all as HoYo is definitely trolling with their kit. However, if you’re crazy enough to invest in them, then give the Hydro Traveler 2pc of one of these three artifact sets: Nymph's Dream, Heart of Depth, or Golden Troupe. They barely operate with any artifact set, so just go for 2pc to give them 30% Hydro DMG.

Since the Hydro Traveler doesn’t offer anything but DPS, give them weapons that can raise their DMG like the Splendor of Tranquil Waters and Primordial Jade Cutter. These weapons will increase their HP as they grant them some Crit stats in Genshin Impact.

Pyro Traveler Build In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact: The Best Build for Traveler (16)

Weapon

Artifact Set

Stats

  1. Mistsplitter Reforged
  2. Splendor of Tranquil Waters
  3. Light of Foliar Incision
  4. Wolf-Fang
  5. Festering Desire
  6. Fleuve Cendre Ferryman
  • 4pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City
  • 4pc Obsidian Codex
  • Timepiece: ATK
  • Goblet: Pyro DMG
  • Circlet: Crit DMG or Rate
  • Sub-stat: Crit DMG, Crit Rate, ATK, and Energy Recharge

The Pyro Traveler is a versatile unit that can operate as both on-field and off-field DPS. Before getting their C6, the Pyro Traveler operates purely as an off-field Sub-DPS who gets on the field to enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and starts dealing off-field Pyro DMG. If you’re playing them like that, build the Pyro Traveler with 4pc of Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City to maximize their off-field presence by buffing their team.

After getting their C6, they’ll transform into a strong main Pyro DPS who can carry their team’s DMG. For that, the Pyro Traveler needs another build in Genshin Impact. Build the Pyro Traveler with 4pc of Obsidian Codex to maximize their Crit Rate. This gives you the freedom to build the Pyro Traveler with a lot of Crit DMG through their weapons and Circlet.

The best weapons for the Pyro Traveler are the ones that increase their Crit DMG, like Mistsplitter Reforged, Splendor of Tranquil Waters, and Light of Foliar Incision. For off-field Pyro Traveler, go for some F2P options like Festering Desire, which works perfectly with Sword units that depend on their Elemental Skill and Burst in Genshin Impact.
