This article will talk about the skills of Anemo Traveler and how to utilize them. The article will also talk about the best builds and team compositions for the Traveler. You can choose to pair up the Traveler with another Anemo character to create an elemental resonance or focus purely on dealing damage. This guide will also give tips and tricks on using the Anemo traveler and how you can ascend the character.
Anemo Traveler’s talents
Foreign Ironwind
The Anemo Traveler’s normal attacks perform up to five consecutive strikes. The Charged Attack consumes stamina and performs two rapid sword strikes. And lastly, the Plunging attack is a strike from mid-air that deals AoE damage upon impact.
Palm Vortex
The Palm Vortex is the Anemo Traveler’s Elemental Skill. The Traveler calls upon the wind’s might and casts a vortex of vacuum, casting continuous Anemo Damage to the enemies in front. After the skill duration, the vortex will explode and deal with AoE Anemo damage. If you hold, the damage and Aoe will increase. Another unique effect is that it causes Elemental absorption. If the vortex comes in contact with other elements, it will combine with the vortex and deal elemental damage according to the combined element.
Gust Surge
Gust Surge is the Anemo Traveler’s Elemental burst. The skill guides the wind currents path and pulls the objects towards the tornado, including enemies, and deals with continuous Anemo damage. Just like the Palm Vortex, the skill has elemental absorption and will absorb any additional element it comes in contact with. However, you can activate Elemental Absorption once per skill.
Slitting Wind
The slitting wind is the Anemo Traveler’s passive, which is unlocked at Ascension level 1. This passive gives the last hit of your normal attack a wind blade that deals 60% of your ATK as an Anemo Damage. The wind blade damages all opponents upon its path.
Second Wind
The Second Wind is unlocked at Ascension level 4. This passive allows the Palm vortex kills to regenerate 2% of your HP for 5 seconds. The effect can occur every 5 seconds.
Anemo Traveler Build
The Anemo Traveler works best as a support damage dealer. The Elemental absorption effect of the traveler makes her a great addition to any team. However, you can also pair her up with Venti to provide an elemental resonance. The addition of venti also allows the team to take out multiple enemies at once. The Anemo traveler build’s primary focus is to increase his/her Anemo and swirl damage and reduce the enemies’ Elemental resistance.
Weapon
There are multiple weapon choices for the Anemo traveler. Below are some of the weapons you can use for the Anemo traveler and their effects.
