Traveler (Anemo) Talents and How to Use

Better as a Sub-DPS or Support

Elemental Skill and Burst for Crowd Control

We don't recommend using the Anemo Traveler as your Main DPS, because other characters can deal more damage overall. Instead, use the Anemo Traveler's Elemental Skill and Burst for great crowd control!

Normal Attack

Normal Attack: Foreign Ironwind
Perform up to 5 rapid strikes. Charge Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill

Palm Vortex

Grasping the wind's might, you form a vortex of vacuum in your palm, causing continuous Anemo DMG to enemies in front of you. The vacuum vortex explodes when the skill duration ends, causing a greater amount of Anemo DMG over a larger area. Hold Attack: DMG and AoE will gradually increase. Elemental Absorption: If the vortex comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro elements, it will deal additional DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. Flavor Text: You discussed the way to grasp the formless wind with Paimon.

Spread Elements to Nearby Enemies

Elemental Skill: Palm Vortex

The Anemo Traveler's Elemental Skill, Palm Vortex, can be used to not only pull enemies in but to also spread any elemental auras or applications to near by enemies. This is usefull for setting up large chains of Swirl and other Elemental Reactions.

Combine Skills With Cryo to Cross Water

Crossing Water with Anemo and Cryo

The ability of the Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst to spread elements does not work only on enemies. When a Cryo character freezes water with their Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, the Anemo Traveler can switch in and use their own Skill or Burst to spread the ice further along the surface of the water.

Elemental Burst

Gust Surge

Guiding the path of the wind currents, you summon a forward-moving tornado that pulls objects and opponents towards itself, dealing continuous Anemo DMG. Elemental Absorption: If the tornado comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro elements, it will deal additional DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. Flavor Text: You and Paimon studied the flapping of a butterfly's wings.

Elemental Burst Can Deal AoE DMG

Elemental Skill: Gust Surge

The Elemental Burst, Gust Surge, summons a tornado acts similar to Palm Vortex in spreading elemental effects but will also pick up and carry off smaller enemies. Like all Anemo Element skills the tornado can also absorb other elements and deal additional elemental damage.

Constellation 6 Can Reduce Elemental RES

Their sixth constellation gives the Traveler's Elemental Burst another skill. It can lessen their enemies' Anemo RES by 20% and if their burst also absorbed an element then it will have an additional 20% Elemental RES effect.

Passive Talent 1

Slitting Wind
The last hit of a Normal Attack combo unleashes a wind blade, dealing 60% of ATK as Anemo DMG to all opponents in its path.

Passive Talent 2

Second Wind
Palm Vortex kills regenerate 2% HP for 5s. This effect can only occur once every 5s.
