After resonating with a Statue of the Seven in Inazuma, the Traveler gains the power of Electro. Unlike their Anemo or Geo forms, the Electro Traveler is a dedicated Battery Support. Their kit revolves around funneling massive amounts of flat Energy and Energy Recharge to teammates, making them a best-in-slot support for energy-hungry carries like Eula or Xiao.

Pros

Best single-target battery in the game (Amulets).
Completely F2P friendly (Free C6 + Free Weapon).
Increases teammates' Energy Recharge stat (Skill).
Burst provides off-field Electro application.
High synergy with "The Exile" or "Noblesse" sets.

Cons

Low Damage: Personal damage is negligible compared to Fischl/Beidou.
Clunky Mechanics: Teammates must manually pick up Amulets.
Long cooldown on Elemental Skill (mitigated by A1).
Burst damage multipliers are relatively low.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

Electro Traveler is built purely to keep your Main DPS's burst ready on cooldown.

Best Artifact: 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate (Personal ER/Dmg) or 4pc Noblesse Oblige (Team Buff).
Best Weapon: Favonius Sword (Essential).
Alt Weapon: Sacrificial Sword or Festering Desire.
F2P Weapon: Amenoma Kageuchi or Skyward Blade.
Main Stats: SANDS: ER% (Mandatory) | GOBLET: Electro DMG | CIRCLET: CRIT Rate (for Favonius).
Talent Priority: Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack (Ignore).
Top Team: Eula + Electro Traveler + Rosaria + Zhongli (Superconduct Battery).

Pro Tip: Amulet Feeding: Use Traveler's Skill (E), then immediately swap to your Main DPS (e.g., Eula or Xiao) so they pick up the Abundance Amulets. This grants them flat Energy and a massive Energy Recharge buff.

Talent Materials (Inazuma)

Note: Traveler uses standard Mondstadt materials (Windwheel Aster/Masks) for Ascension Level, but Inazuma materials for Electro Talents.

Category	Material Name	Source
Talent Books	Transience / Elegance / Light	Violet Court (Rotates Daily)
Common Mob	Handguards	Nobushi / Kairagi (Inazuma)
Weekly Boss	Dragon Lord's Crown	Azhdaha (Liyue)

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Lightning Blade

Mechanic: Unleashes three swift thunder shadows. Upon hitting an opponent, they leave behind Abundance Amulets (Max 2 initially, 3 at C1).
The Buff: When a character picks up an Amulet, they restore Energy and their Energy Recharge is increased by 20% (Talent Lvl 7+) for 6s.
Cooldown: 13.5s (Reduced by picking up amulets via A1 Passive).

Elemental Burst: Bellowing Thunder

Mechanic: Calls upon lightning to shroud the active character. When the active character hits with Normal or Charged Attacks, Falling Thunder strikes deal Electro DMG.
Battery Effect: When Falling Thunder hits, it restores Energy to the active character (0.8 - 1.0 Energy per hit).
Application: Good for applying Electro off-field for reactions like Superconduct or Electro-Charged.

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Burst (Level 9) - Increases Energy restoration per hit.
Elemental Skill (Level 7+) - Increases ER buff percentage.
Normal Attack (Level 1) - Completely useless for support build.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Electro Traveler needs massive ER to fund their own 80-cost burst, as they usually funnel their own particles to teammates.

Weapon	Artifact Set	ER Requirement
Favonius Sword	Emblem / Noblesse	220% - 250%
Amenoma Kageuchi	Any	180% - 200% (Passive helps)
Non-ER Weapon	Any	280%+ (Not Recommended)

Substat Priority:

Energy Recharge (Stack as much as possible)
CRIT Rate (Required to proc Favonius Sword passive)
ATK% / Electro DMG (Bonus damage)
Elemental Mastery (Only for Hyperbloom meme builds)

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
4pc Emblem of Severed Fate	Best Personal	Converts the massive amount of ER you are building into Burst DMG. Offers the best personal damage output.
4pc Noblesse Oblige	Team Support	Grants 20% ATK to the team upon Burst. Great utility since Traveler's personal damage is low anyway.
4pc The Exile (4-Star)	Pure Battery	Restores energy to the entire team after using Burst. Incredible for energy-starved teams, but lowers Traveler's stats due to 4-star cap.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Favonius Sword	Energy Recharge	S+	The undisputed king. Generates white particles for the whole team. Matches Traveler's kit perfectly.
Sacrificial Sword	Energy Recharge	A	Allows double casting E for double Amulets. Good, but extends rotation time significantly.
Amenoma Kageuchi	ATK%	A (F2P)	Craftable Inazuma sword. The passive refunds energy after Burst, lowering ER requirements drastically.
Skyward Blade	Energy Recharge	A (5-Star)	High Base ATK and ER substat. A solid stat stick if you have it lying around.

Constellation Value

All Traveler constellations are free. C4 and C6 turn them into a premier support.

C4: Fickle Cloudstrike - (Battery Buff) If a character picking up an Amulet has less than 35% Energy, the Energy restored is increased by 100%. This is insane for empty bursts.
C6: World-Shaker - (Res Shred) Falling Thunder (Burst) damage increases and shreds opponent's Electro RES by 15%. Great for supporting other Electro units like Beidou.

Top Team Compositions

1. Eula Physical Support

Main DPS: Eula
Battery: Electro Traveler
Sub-DPS: Rosaria / Raiden Shogun
Sustain: Zhongli / Diona

Why it works: Eula is notorious for Energy issues. Traveler provides Electro for Superconduct (Phys Shred) and feeds Eula energy via Amulets, allowing Eula to run 0% ER on artifacts.

2. F2P Taser

Driver: Sucrose / Heizou
Off-Field DPS: Beidou
Battery: Electro Traveler
Hydro: Xingqiu

Why it works: Beidou deals massive damage but needs a battery. Traveler at C6 shreds Electro RES, batteries Beidou, and keeps the rotation smooth.

Rotations & Combos

The Funnel Rotation:
Supports Setup > Traveler Q > Traveler E > Swap to Main DPS immediately > Main DPS Catch Amulets & Particles

Tip: Always Cast Burst (Q) *before* Skill (E). The Skill produces the Amulets. If you cast Skill then Burst, you waste time in the animation while the Amulets are sitting on the floor waiting to be picked up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Electro better than Dendro Traveler?
Generally, no. Dendro Traveler (DMC) is meta-defining for Dendro teams. Electro Traveler is a niche battery. Only use Electro if you specifically need Energy for Eula or Noelle.

Do I need to level talents?
Yes, but you can stop at Skill Lv 7 (max ER buff) and Burst Lv 9. Crowning is not recommended unless you really love the Traveler.
