Summary
While theorycrafters haven’t given it a crack just yet, the latestGenshin Impactleak provides players with an overview of the Pyro Traveler’s long-awaited ability kit. It’s safe to say thatGenshin Impactplayers haven’t always been happy with the Traveler’s ability kits over the years. The Electro Traveler was considered lackluster by a vast majority of fans, and the Hydro Traveler was widely seen as a disaster. The only ability kit where the Traveler was allowed to shine ended up being Dendro, giving players a way to apply Dendro off-field at a generous pace.
The reason why the developers remain so hesitant to give theTraveler inGenshin Impacta powerful ability kit is rather simple: much like the starter characters of Mondstadt, the Traveler and their different ability kits are free and easily accessible to players. However, the Natlan era broke this pattern in a major way by withholding access to the Pyro Traveler until the Archon Quest was done. With the finale to Natlan’s story set for Version 5.3, the Pyro Traveler is finally prepared to make a playable debut.
Thelatest information was procured by Seele Leaksfrom the beta servers for Version 5.3, and it provides a detailed overview of the Pyro Traveler’s Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, and final Constellation. The leak warned people to temper their expectations for thePyro Traveler inGenshin Impact, whose ability kit was a topic of much speculation following Natlan’s launch.
Elemental Burst:
Constellations:
While someGenshin Impactfans will likely be disappointed by the Pyro Traveler, there may be some potential to the ability kit. Having access to theNightsoul mechanics inGenshin Impact, the Pyro Traveler can become a wielder of the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, and their Elemental Burst can restore Nightsoul points to other party members. This already establishes decent synergy with Mavuika, especially if the Pyro Archon assumes the role of a hypercarry in the team.
That being said, a more viable niche for the Pyro Traveler could be withMualani inGenshin Impact. Being able to apply off-field Pyro while holding the new Natlan Artifact Set is a valuable role to fill, and it guarantees that the Pyro Traveler will have more worth than the Hydro counterpart from Fontaine. While the exact method of unlocking the Pyro Traveler remains unknown,Genshin Impactplayers speculate that they will be able to earn the six Constellations via the six Natlan tribes. Version 5.3 is set to launch on Jul 26, 2025.
