Aether/Lumine has been playable ever since the very beginning of the game back in 2020, now having six different elements they can access. But while some of them might find a serviceable role in the meta, in totality they rank on average as one of the worst characters in the game. Meanwhile in other mainstream gachas the MC is usually above average if not in competition for one of the best characters in their respective roles, certainly for free to play players. For today we’re gonna be discussing the issues with Traveler and how they might be Genshin’s most disappointing character.

I'm still waiting for the White Traveler. You know, how at the start of the game they're white, and white is the combination of all colors. I'm hoping that the White Traveler, unlocked after all the other elements, will be meta.
Even in story Traveller is useless as Paimon does all the talking and nearly all of the choices
No i have not played quite a bit of the archon quests only going as far as finishing inazuma and stopping right after
Despite playing so little i can confidently assume the traveller is just as useless in the next archon quests that im not going to give a shot
Honestly they should just kill off the traveller thing and ascend paimon into the main character and i doubt most people would care
I have solutions for MC boring gameplay:
Option Swap siblings, have all cosmetic options that MC has worn from events/ scenes.
Be able to swap elements mid battle, their damage forms is base on how much u leveled their talents each forms u worked on. This fixes the unity/purpose/damage(kinda) without the need of changing the weak skills & both promote and benefit the need to invest on them. Thus making MC worth playing thats both unique and canon.
I don't see a pinned comment mentioning how c6 pyro traveller does work out side of the weekly boss fight, the resource you get from maxing each tribe makes the constellations work outside of the boss fight. The video implies there isn't a way to fix the "only in a boss fight" problem
I think pyro traveler is at good benchmark to have from here on. While they're still nowhere near the heights of other premium characters, at least they manage to fill a neiche that, even with mavuika, is still pretty barren
This is really weird because if you look at honkai star rail, the main character is actually useful.
And he/she is getting stronger and stronger as the planet passes.
As if genshin was just a prototype to honkai star rail.
If they will be stronger hoy will get less money from wishing, well if they don't add his 5star weapons.
One would think that out of all the elements in the game, pyro would be the best chance to make the traveler strong and relevant since it's so often associated with aggressive playstyle and raw damage. All in all, the traveler is a garbage character in every sense of the word
0:07 heyyy kaeya isn't useless. He's a good coathanger until u get a better cryo
They're just as interesting gameplay wise as they are at being the playable protagonists of the game.
you DO realize that there's an in lore reason why traveler has the same "weaker" versions of skills as the archons right? It's not just because HOYO hates the MC, it's because the MC is merely borrowing a fraction of power from the Gnoses. It's a lore design situation.
It's a pathetic indictment on Genshin's community that you have to apologize for comparing Genshin to other games. How else are you supposed to judge if your game is doing something good or bad?
Say this again after two years (after the Cryo nation).
You know what? I'm done asking for an usable Traveler. I want a top meta Neuvilette level Traveler or I'm gonna riot. I don't get why the community wants to pay more and if ppl really want to bootlick Hoyo that hard we should get a super strong Traveler via gacha. Having one of the most powerful and prominent characters in the lore be ass is legit baffling
This video feels too early. C6 PMC hasn’t come out yet, and there’s no mention of tap E being used. Given you’re a Hoyo content creator, you should be aware that PMC is often cited as one of the best burgeon characters. Why not cover that?
I honestly don't see the problem with the MC from my perspective
Oh they're the main character they're supposed to speak
Bitch Link in ( legend of Zelda ) hasn't spoken in game ever since his creation
The only time that he does speak it was from the players prospective ( basically choosing their dialogue or it was mentioned in a diary or mentioned somewhere else that we didn't see )
And we choose The travelers dialogue and they don't speak yet for some reason people are still having problems
Where are the double standards?
Hear me out, I'm totally not coping they're keeping the Traveler mid because at some point we're gonna have the ability to swap elements on the fly making the Traveler an AIOT for res shred, element app, battery, EM ect… totally, definitely….
Man, seeing how traveler is an underpowered version of Archon I thought they would at least have a unicycle.
Main problem with mc anemo is that venti and sucrose were released at the same time. He was useless on release which is so sad
genshin version 1 2 and maybe 3 "I wonder what MC will do in this patch".
genshin version 3+ "hm? what's an MC?"
WuWa/HSR MC: Wassup can a loc come up in your crib?
Aether: Man, fck you. Go back to your game.
WuWa/HSR MC: Boy don't hate me because i'm META relevant. Maybe if you got rid of that old yee-yee ahh dull sword your use rate would go up.
Oh, better yet, maybe Lumine'll call your dog-ahh if she ever stopped fcking with that Abyss Lector or Khaenri'ahn hunk she fcking with.
pfft imagine playing the mc in a gacha game, when you have all these waifus and husbandos.
They need to add an ability for traveler to switch between elements mid-fight, that would make them at least semi-strong.
Dendro was the most useful one for me to do hyperbloom beings I don't have nahida. After I got tighnari I didn't use traveler any more.
Bruh you channel mid not traveler
I use my main to collect stuff that only she can collect and that’s about it.
What I don't get after all these years is why not just make traveler be able to interchange skills and burst from multiple elements. I get they aren't supposed to be the strongest at anything, but thematically I think it'd make sense and give then a unique place as a multi element unit
I think they should scrap the elements and give the Traveller the parry and counter attacks they have in that one specific boss fight in Natlan, Atlatl's Blessing. Would make them SUCH a one hero army, like in the cinematic, while also make for intersting team bnuild with support elemental enchants, summons, fileds, plus shields and heal of course.
Genshin mc is supposed to be a self insert yet they just suck as a character. They have nothing going for them aside from the fact that other characters just drool around them for no reason
I still use Dendro traveler for my Nilou bloom team XD
Its kinda funny that traveller doesnt count as a natlan character even in pyro mode so if he is the only noghtsoul character you cant trigger nightsoul bursts
traveler is a light version of each regions archon/sovereign, that's the whole poooooointttttt.
idk what everyone's problem is. is it rly a problem that traveler is not good in spiral abyss? really? why is that an issue? enlighen me. bc everywhere else you can use them if u want, and if u don't then don't. there are enough damn characters, why does the traveler need to be god-tier.
Not to mention while their story on paper is great… their on screen story is often "food" and "how great traveler is" and "super epic traveler moment" before they become irrelevant again. I just care so little about the Traveler at this point, and even the descender stuff is becoming diluted with the most mundane dialogue at times. Only gacha games that have player as "master", "teacher", "commander", etc are more forgettable at this point.
Pyro Traveler is… okay. Compared to Mavuika, they're pretty much dirt, but that's expected. Not comparing them to their archon counterpart, they're only decent. They're better as support, again not unexpected, but the option to be main dps is at least somewhat present, at least in comparison to their other elements. Though one can argue that this is because of the obsidian codex 4-pc set allowing them to focus more on critical damage sub stats. That aside, their pyro element is at least playable, unlike hydro.
To me, their hydro element is my opinion on the Dragon Ball Evolution movie or M. Night Shyamalan's take on Avatar the Last Airbender – I'll pretend it doesn't exist.
Genshin Impact has a main character? I played for 4 years and haven't met that person yet lol
Hydro traveler is the only version of traveler I do not have talents leveled on lmao
Yes, I’m including Pyro in that statement XD
I just beat The World Level Ascension Quest, using only Standard Characters and Dendro Traveler.
It's referred to as a "Challenge" for a reason….
Bro i feel like it be easy to fix lower Cool down and cost increase duration. Give tracking for the large target Make them last longer will lower its damage. Make them just easy application, spam, low damage, very spammy you want a big pee pee damage? Get a limited five star and he is still intro and easy to play
