Dendro Traveler Talents and How to Use

Play as a Sub-DPS or Support

The Dendro Traveler acts primarily as a Support or as a second Sub-DPS character in any team comp. Their main purpose is enabling Dendro reactions for the Main and Sub-DPS, given how amazing their Elemental Burst is!

Normal Attack

Normal Attack: Foreign Fieldcleaver
Performs 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 opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill

Razorgrass Blade
With a flourish of your blade, you unleash a spray of razor-sharp leaves that go before you and deal Dendro DMG.

Elemental Burst

Surgent Manifestation
Calling upon the might of the flora all around you, you create a Lea Lotus Lamp. This Lamp will deal continuous Dendro DMG to opponents within its AoE.

Surgent Manifestation Elemental Burst

The Traveler's Elemental Burst will summon a Lea Lotus Lamp that deals constant Dendro Damage. The Lea Lotus Lamp will change properties if it comes into contact with Hydro, Electro, or Pyro. It can only change its properties once.

Hydro Lea Lotus Lamp

A Lea Lotus Lamp coming into contact with Hydro will cause it to grow. Along with its growth, its attacks will also have a wider AoE as well as the range of its attacks. This make's it ideal for spreading Dendro damage.

Electro Lea Lotus Lamp

When Electro comes into contact with the Lea Lotus Lamp, its attack speed will increase. This is ideal for applying Dendro more often.

Pyro Lea Lotus Lamp

Pyro coming into contact with the Electro Lotus Lamp will cause it to explode, dealing massive AoE Dendro damage. It's best to use Pyro on the Lea Lotus Lamp only when you know its duration is about to expire

Passive Talent 1

Verdant Overgrowth
Lea Lotus Lamp will obtain one level of Overflowing Lotuslight every second it is on the field, increasing the Elemental Mastery of active character(s) within its AoE by 6. Overflowing Lotuslight has a maximum of 10 stacks.

Passive Talent 2

Verdant Luxury
Every point of Elemental Mastery the Traveler possesses increases the DMG dealt by Razorgrass Blade by 0.15% and the DMG dealt by Surgent Manifestation by 0.1%.

How to Get Dendro Traveler
