Genshin Impact: the best element for the traveler

With 4 elements now available, players want to know which one is best for the Traveler in Genshin Impact. Prior to the emergence of the Sumeru region, the Traveler could only resonate with Anemo, Geo, or Electro. But now you also get the Dendro option. But is the new element really worth it, or is it worth sticking with the old ones? So in this guide, let’s check out the best item for the Traveler in Genshin Impact.

The best traveler item in Genshin Impact

The best item you should use with Traveler is Dendro. No, it’s not because it’s the newest item, but in fact, it has two good reasons that you should consider.

• There are few Dendro characters in the game: there are currently only two Dendro characters in the game, Tignari and Colley. And if Colley can be obtained for free, then Tignari can be obtained only at will. So if you’re low level or don’t have enough help, that means you can’t add the Dendro character to your team. But thanks to the Wanderer’s ability to resonate with other elements, you literally get the Dendro character for free. And it’s not that the Traveler doesn’t work well with Dendro, they get decent abilities to use. Here are the tricks the Traveler can use after resonating with Dendro:
  • Foreign Field Cleaver (Normal Attack): The traveler can deal up to 5 normal hits. After charging an attack, they can deliver 2 quick sword slashes.
  • Razorweed Blade (Elemental Skill): Allows the Traveler to spray razor-sharp leaves in front of him at an enemy. This attack deals Dendro damage to the target.
  • Surgent Manifestation (Elemental Blast): The traveler’s elemental explosion allows them to create Lea’s Lotus Lamp on the target. It constantly affects enemies with Dendro damage that are within its reach. What makes this Elemental Burst better is Lotus Light Transformation. The Lea Lotus lamp undergoes changes upon contact with the following elements:
    • Pyro: The lamp explodes and deals AoE Dendro damage to enemies within range.
    • Electro: Increases Lamp’s attack speed.
    • Hydro: Increases the AoE of the lamp and the AoE of her attacks.
• Elemental Reactions: Dendro can be very useful when you have any Pyro, Electro, or Hydro on your team. You can attack your target with the Razorgrass Blade and switch to one of the previously mentioned characters to trigger burning, bloom, or haste effects. I highly recommend that you check out our guides on how Dendro reactions work to better understand them.

Mostly if you take into account the Stranger’s natural abilities as a support character. And then add the ability to resonate with the elements, and you’ll see that Dendro is best for the Traveler. Although, if you don’t like Dendro, then the next best item to go with the Traveler would be Geo.

You can empower the Dendro Traveler by playing as them and interacting with any Statue of the Seven – Dendro in the Sumeru region.

That covers this guide to the best traveler item in Genshin Impact. I suggest you check out our Genshin Impact guides to learn more about the Sumeru region and other characters in this game.
