To those wondering about the 4pc Vourukasha set. The DMG bonuses will not gain stacks from Hydro MC's HP draining passive. It will only stack from externally taken damage.
its cruel to give the best water animations to the joke
Hydro MC would be so much better if they can move while doing the hold skill and if their burst follows the enemies.
Hydro mc is the first time imma build my mc XDDD
Idk what I was hoping for with hydro trav but yeah… Not this exactly. 😢
Why would anyone play hydro mc? Looks so sad.
Here's a wild take: Use Hydro traveler as a Favvery [Fav battery] for hydro characters or team generally. He would be pretty low investment. Three things you need- Favonius sword, as entailed by the role Favvery; Marechaussee Hunter set with a crit circlet, and lastly, recommended C4 for traveler so you don't need a shielder for the sake of a battery.
This is primarily a low-investment battery considering Marechaussee Hunter+Favonius passive synergy behaving much like a Royal series weapon that grants energy.Considering that Hydro Traveler makes successive attacks in the ability, the skill which causes stacks of Marechaussee hunter to trigger, he will have high probability to trigger Fav without relying on substats. Max stacks of Hunter, 36% plus 31% crit from circlet and you got yourself a neat 67% crit to build off. You're gonna expect running Traveler 3s on-field in hold-skill if you want to maximize their crit as it will take 3 seconds for 3 self-inflicted damage instances to take place. Hydro Traveler also produces 3.33 hydro particles. It's a long ways off from Sac XIngqiu, but HMC would be a runner-up if Xingqiu is occupying another team, bored of him, or if XIngqiu is anti-synergistic with a team you are running with.
Does it make Hydro Traveler super viable or actually good? No. Does it make him unique? Yes, actually. Needs very little substat investment for fav triggering, which in exchange uses a risky mechanic of draining HP plus being stationary for that period, but it eases substat grinding, so you can invest more into crit dmg, energy recharge, and/or atk. I'll try it out myself and see how it does.
BIg problem with this build- farming the new set which nobody previously farmed, traveler occupying a larger uptime than other batteries, being vulnerable during the process, equipping Fav opportunity cost, and especially the need for Hydro Traveler to be at least 62% of max HP for the Marechaussee to gain max stacks, so if you aren't picking up the orbs which would extend HMC's uptime, you're gonna lose consistency on a large chunk of crit.
I’m building hydro MC as main dps with all maxed talents and nymph’s dream, Candace for hydro infusion, Zhongli, and Kazuha. Wish me luck 😂
So basically for optimal damage, I switch to another hydro character. Got it!
I wanted to play hydro mc bc she can jump out of the water but I’ve switched back to dendro mc 😂😂
First I wanna try to main hydro mc like I did with other versions of traveler, second, definitely the aesthetic, the blue colour goes so well with lumine. But I found it so hard to use that they're basically unusable 🥲🥲. Plus the ult passes every barrier existed, I mained anemo traveler the longest that I got so used to putting a pillar before releasing the ult, and I thought that hmc will be the same 🥲
Right now I'm having fun with Hydro MC and using him more as support for my Dendro characters, but if I get Neuvillette in the next update I will change back to Dendro because Dendro is one of the best for MC. But right now I'm just having fun😄.
So good it'll make the Ayato mains jealous 🤭
As a Traveler main, I'm going to stick with AMC; VV is too good. DMC is good too, but I don't have a good DM set.
Electro Traveler has been Decrowned.
Omg thank you so much
Dendro MC wasn't good, the element DENDRO itself is broken af, and MC is basically it's first character of that element.
Hydro already have broken characters so there's no value that traveler provides unless they shield us, but hey technically we now know have a hydro shielder in the game😂😂
MC’s burst would slightly feel better if it had a sucking torrend collecting enemies in a small area. i think it’s the worst MC so far. But after dendro there’s a really high ceiling to reach
The pew-pew sound tho ❤
Hydro Traveller might have been better, like his Dendro counterpart IMO.
I mean lets be real, the only version of traveler that is actually good is dendro. Anemo, Geo, Electro are all subpar. Traveler is a free character afterall so it just makes sense why they wouldnt make the kit good for any version. They want you to spend money for the good characters.
srsly the burst is such a missed opportunity. If only it stop on hit then the traveler can become some sort of hydro ayaka…
Hydro MC will take a while to get used to. Perhaps there’s a future character whose kit is a great compliment.
Making MC’s Burst pick up and trap enemies like Hydro Mage / Anemo Burst feels like a missed opportunity.
wow I thought the electro one was disappointing but the hydro version was just WTF lol
Hydro traveller burst is such a huge disappointment, I know the dev team could've come up with a better idea
