Traveler should be able to switch elements during combat (without resonating to a statue)
This has been my main gripe since 1.0, as I used to main Traveler. Though I understand that ~~Mihoyo~~ Hoyo's business model banks heavily on their limited-time 5-star characters.
However, by Version 7.0 onwards, it would be a waste if this game mechanic is still not available. Considering that the main story could reach its penultimate point by then (canonically in cutscenes, we already see Traveler use multiple elements at once), buffing Traveler in-game with this kind of mechanic can add immersiveness to how much power Traveler gained (or regained maybe, story-wise) after his adventures. Whenever an Archon Quest demands Traveler's presence in the party for a battle sequence, it has only been disappointing so far (callback to that Hydro Traveler with Nefer vs Rerir). Imagine doing elemental reactions with just the Traveler by switching between elements on-the-go. Rightfully, a Descender.
Especially for when Traveler gains their Cryo powers, I think next version is the ideal time. For how they would implement this in-game though, I'm thinking of it to be a gadget (like the Nahida-Kaveh's alchemical array invention to convert elemental energy), or just a new talent for Traveler perhaps. To avoid being a powercreep, it can have 2-3 charges with a fair cooldown, to enable self-elemental reaction gameplay. I'm hoping this is doable, considering that they buffed 1.0 era characters with the Witch's Eve Rite (Hexerei faction buff).
Anyways I'm really just looking forward to main (after collecting and maining all the Archons) my Traveler again. What are your thoughts on this though?
