Genshin Impact Traveler dendro, geo, anemo, and electro builds
Genshin Impact’s Traveler is the general name given to the twin you choose – who otherwise canonically go as Aether and Lumine. Traveler can switch between anemo, geo, electro, and dendro elements by resonating with Statues of The Seven around the world map. In this Genshin Traveler guide we go over all of their skills, the best artifacts and weapons for each element, and more.

Genshin Impact Traveler
What’s the best Genshin Impact Traveler build?
With any elemental alignment, the Traveler always seems to excel the most in sub-dps support roles. They work as a great battery for their main element, especially in geo and dendro modes, and generally have kits geared towards elemental application and crowd control. In most situations, they’re out-done by other characters who wield the same element, but they’re a great staple and easy to ascend due to materials being given to you or purchasable from each region’s gift shop.
What are the best Genshin Traveler weapons?
The Skyward Blade is the best weapon for anemo, electro, and geo Traveler. You can also use Festering Desire as a replacement weapon.
For dendro traveler, Freedom-Sworn or Sacrificial Sword are your best options.
| Weapon | Effect |
| Skyward Blade | Critical hit rate is increased by 4%. Traveler gains Skypiercing Might when an elemental burst is used. This increases movement and attack speed by 10% and boosts the damage of normal and charged attacks by 20% for 12 seconds |
| Festering Desire | Elemental skill damage is increased by 16% and elemental skill critical hit rate by 6% |
| Freedom-Sworn | Increases damage by 10%. When you trigger elemental reactions, you gain a Sigil of Rebellion. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s, even if said character is not on the field. When you possess two Sigils of Rebellion, both are consumed and all nearby party members obtain Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance for 12 seconds. Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance increases normal, charged, and plunging attack damage by 16%, and increases attack by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you can’t gain more Sigils of Rebellion for 20 seconds. Buffs of the same type don’t stack. |
| Sacrificial Sword | After damaging an opponent with an elemental skill, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own cooldown. Can only occur once every 30 seconds. |
What are the best Genshin Traveler artifacts?
We recommend using a full set of Viridescent Venerer items for the anemo Traveler and a full set of Noblesse Oblige for the geo Traveler. However, Noblesse Oblige is also a good second choice for an anemo build.
For electro Traveler, you should use Noblesse Oblige or Emblem of Severed Fate. The best pick for dendro Traveler is Deepwood Memories, unless you have another dendro wielder on the team equipped with this set, in which case you should give Traveler Gilded Dreams.
| Artifact set | Effect |
| Viridescent Venerer | Two equipped: 15% anemo damage bonus Four equipped: Swirl damage is increased by 60%. Your opponent’s elemental resistance to the element infused in the swirl is decreased by 40% for ten seconds |
| Noblesse Oblige | Two equipped: Elemental burst damage is increased by 20% Four equipped: When an elemental burst is used, all party members’ attack is increased by 20% for 12 seconds |
| Emblem of Severed Fate | Two equipped: energy recharge is increased by 20% Four equipped: increases elemental burst damage by 25% of energy recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus damage can be obtained in this way |
| Deepwood Memories | Two equipped: dendro damage bonus +15% Four equipped: after elemental skills or bursts hit opponents, the targets’ dendro resistance decreases by 30% for eight seconds. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field |
| Gilded Dreams | Two equipped: elemental mastery +80 Four equipped: within eight seconds of triggering an elemental reaction, the character equipping this obtains buffs based on the elemental type of the other party members. Attack is increased by 14% for each member whose elemental type is the same as the equipping character, and elemental mastery is increased by 50 for every member with a different elemental type. Each of the buffs count up to three characters. This effect can be triggered once every eight seconds, even when not on the field |
