The Traveler (Anemo) is the first playable character in Genshin Impact and one of the most versatile units in the game. Unlike other characters, the Traveler can switch elements depending on the Statues of The Seven they resonate with. The Anemo version is unlocked early in the game and serves as a solid starter choice for beginners.
Easy to obtain and upgrade with free resources.
Good crowd control through Elemental Skill (Palm Vortex).
Elemental Burst (Gust Surge) can gather enemies and trigger swirl reactions.
Works well as a sub-DPS or support in early teams.
Limited damage scaling compared to 4-star and 5-star characters.
Requires proper positioning to maximize swirl and burst effects.
Outclassed by dedicated Anemo units like Venti, Kazuha, or Sucrose.
Sacrificial Sword – Resets Elemental Skill cooldown, allowing frequent swirl reactions.
Favonius Sword – Provides Energy Recharge and helps maintain Burst uptime.
Iron Sting (Craftable) – Increases Elemental Mastery, boosting swirl damage.
Freedom-Sworn (5★) – Ideal for buffing team damage, but hard to obtain.
