Genshin Impact Dendro Traveler Guide : Build, weapons and artifacts

The 3.0 update is a very good opportunity to play the Traveler again. He is currently the best Dendro applicator and is a very good support. The character will be able to trigger elemental reactions related to this element very easily. In this complete guide we explain how to equip and play the Genshin Impact Dendro Traveler. With our tips and tricks, you will know which artifacts and weapons to equip him with.

How to get the Dendro Traveler in Genshin Impact ?

To unlock the Genshin Impact Dendro Traveler, nothing could be easier. All you have to do is interact with a statue of the Seven in Sumeru. This item is available since the Genshin Impact 3.0 update. You will find a Dendro statue right next to the Abyss.

The Dendro Traveler constellations

To activate the Genshin Impact Dendro Traveler constellations, you will need Memory of Flourishing Green. You can get them by following the main quest in Sumeru.

With it, you will increase the Traveler's energy recharge (C1) and extend the duration of his elemental rampage by 3 seconds (C2). The C4 will allow the Dendro Traveler to boost his team's elemental mastery more easily.

How to play the Dendro Traveler in Genshin Impact ?

As with all his versions, the Dendro Traveler is mostly played as a support / sub-DPS in Genshin Impact. If his personal damage is not extraordinary, he will be able to trigger elemental reactions very easily thanks to his Dendro application.

With the elemental attack Razorgrass Blade, the Traveler executes a blade strike that applies the Dendro element, while charging particles of energy.

This ability will allow you to cast Surgent Manifestation, the elemental rampage of the Dendro Traveler, more quickly. The ability summons a glowing lotus that remains on the battlefield for 12 seconds. It attacks enemies and deals Dendro damage. You can modify it by contacting Hydro, Electro, or Pyro. Hydro increases the lotus' range and area of effect, Electro increases its attack speed, and Pyro causes it to explode for high area damage.

With the Verdant Overgrowth passive, the Luminous Lotus gains 1 stack of Overflowing Lotuslight every second. Each accumulation increases the elemental mastery of characters deployed in the area of effect by 6 points (up to a maximum of 10 times).

As you can see, Genshin Impact Dendro Traveler gameplay is essentially based on his elemental rampage. Throw this skill as often as possible to then attack your main DPS, his elemental mastery will then be boosted.

If you play the Dendro Traveler as a support, you may not mount his skills. It's mostly his Dendro application that matters. But if you want to increase his personal damage, focus only on his elemental rampage and elemental ability.

What is the best equipment for the Dendro traveler?

The main goal of the Genshin Impact Dendro Traveler is to launch his elemental rampage, but it is expensive: 80 energy points. It is recommended that you increase his energy recharge as much as possible.

The best artifacts for the Dendro Traveler

The Dendro Traveler can be played in any team based on Dendro reactions. All you have to do is choose the type of Dendro reactions you want to perform.

For example, you can increase the damage of your Electro characters by performing Aggravate (Dendro + Electro) in a team such as: the Dendro Traveler / Raiden / Yae Miko / a healer (Jean Kokomi, Barbara, etc.).

Aggravate increases Electro damage. By choosing a Hydro character, you will also perform Sprawling Shots (a Dendro core will be projected on the enemy). This also works with the Dendro Traveler / Xingqiu / Fischl / Shinobu.
