Anemo Traveler teams when?

36 Anonymous Anonymous 8 months

Ah, imagine if this game released in 2022-2024, when the players got some experiences in similar games. I believe this char would be entered A tier support. I mean, they can access VV from the start, good C6 constellation, Sucrose alternative, and good CC. Build them with ER build VV, Sac sword, and teamed up with Benny/XL/Fischl, and they can cleared Abyss at it first release..
