I really wish this was the actual Elemental Burst...

I am not really even talking about the damage, just the thought of the elemental burst for Hydro Traveler working properly and being pretty cool to look at is so nice.

What's sad, they will give us literal Aino's burst or boss only kit rather then do actual kit buffs and changes and next time when we are going to use hydro traveler during the story, it is going to be the same mess ( i am saying this as Traveler main )

At least the stats bonuses make it easier to choose artifacts for Traveler.

You never know, it might be a test animation for Cryo Burst

TailorUnlikely99802026-01-25 18:01

We all should just cope at this point.

hraberuka2026-01-25 18:11

Wish it was true, it is the last element we are getting ( we are probably getting the original powers back too, but who knows how this will work ), it would be nice to "end" it on very nice kit

mongus_the_batata2026-01-25 19:27

Probably not, its just a [reused animation](https://imgur.com/a/NtcsFMF) from Clorinde's story quest

Moonie-chan2026-01-25 19:41

The actual attack animation in-game is also just the parry from the inazuma event where you fight Taroumaru as ninken after he lost his life saving to some traveller looting the big chest at the back of the tea house.

Bruh

chunga-bunga692026-01-26 13:07

Or maybe a Lunar Traveler

_RTFL_2026-01-25 17:42

pls give traveler burst animations for all their elements

Robin3432026-01-25 19:14

Anything but that, burst animations suck. I like seeing what is happening while I'm in a battle and the animations break the flow.

_RTFL_2026-01-26 05:12

I partially agree with you, if there's a toggle in the settings to "turn off all burst animations" this would be useful for intense gameplay purposes like abyss, SO and IT where some burst animations seems to take a while

the_new_standard2026-01-25 19:24

I can't believe they didn't get to keep the pyro one...

happyppeeppo2026-01-25 17:43

maybe one day when traveller is full power again, because the natlan one is fucking cool too

hraberuka2026-01-25 18:12

i love the pyro waves...

BeautyJester2026-01-26 03:04

Can i trouble you to link which Natlan moment are you referring to?

Squildo2026-01-25 17:52

Make it deal hydro damage and presto, the best vapist ever made. Pack it up, boys. We fixed HMC

DaisukeIkkiX2026-01-26 01:52

best WHAT

Over_Savings97252026-01-25 17:54

"Waves Rise! Judgement Strikes !

I am the Tempest !"

I love this game. But those who know can tell the obvious origins of that ult.

jrodt3332026-01-26 03:07

Seems like that’s actually not it. Someone else in this post pointed out that it’s a reused animation from Clorinde's quest, which was released first.

Over_Savings97252026-01-26 03:36

But, up till now, what reason did they have to make us use traveler this extensively? Back then, they never cared about the traveler enough. Now, traveler is suddenly voiced, mandatory in archon quests, and actually doing important stuff.

jrodt3332026-01-26 04:34

Hmm, I never made that connection. I can’t really know if the devs were influenced, but I’m definitely preferring the way they’ve been handling story fights since Natlan (besides hydro traveler without Aino’s help).

Over_Savings97252026-01-26 20:41

We'll never know if the devs were influenced. But I can't think of a single reason that they would include some many traveler voicelines unless it was clear that the competition was doing the same.

Plus, prior to Natlan, how often did the game force us to use the story-accurate characters during domains and boss fights?

NoKnowsPose2026-01-25 18:01

We all do buddy. We all do.

leakmydata2026-01-25 18:26

Honestly that was the first time I’ve played a story battle as traveler where I actually thought “woah that was cool”

tiagoremixv32026-01-25 19:01

This would be a great animation for anemo traveler. Here's hoping they'd make one for each element.

Desperate-Owl-48302026-01-25 19:39

Im just coping since nod krai is not yet finished we get traveler as Lunar DPS opposite to columbina since she is supporter.

Noxal122026-01-25 19:45

I'm still coping that we'll get a skateboard when go back to Natlan

Cyberpuppet2026-01-25 20:32

It felt so satisfying breaking Dottore's shields.

THE_FBI_GUYS2026-01-25 20:52

why did I get PTSD of markiplier punching me?

caucassius2026-01-25 21:11

no

have a bubble bath

wait where are you going bubbleeeee

Honest_Milk_82742026-01-25 21:48

Hoyo has been learning with their errors.

It's very known that they didn't want to make the MC any good because it's a free unit, that can't be monetized. So he is at same level as other free units in this game.

In Honkai Impact 3rd they "fix" this problem by releasing new versions of the same character, but it would be weird if we had only the Anemo Traveler and had to pull for the other elements.

They learned their lesson with Honkai Star Rail: they can make the MC a support that complements the kit of a paid character. In HRS, the first Trailblazer is absolute shit, the second one was kinda good, and the newest one is Tier SS.

They trying to make the same with the Traveler: DMC is usable, PMC is actually really good and one of the best teammate for Mualani, for example. They dropped the ball with HMC: they could've been a healer, but instead, it's a pathetic on-field DPS that's worse than Anemo in most situations. Here I am hoping CMC will enable some new mechanic, so he will be good, at least until we get the region Archon.

Kounka2026-01-25 23:02

You say that but Barbara is free too and is a good hydro driver with great healing. HMC is way below her in usefulness.

Honest_Milk_82742026-01-26 01:31

Where did I say otherwise?

Two easy fixes for HMC would be 1) if their E.Skill healed the all teammates while casting. That would make them a good driver, as they have a shield and interrupt immunity while casting and 2) their Burst stood in place, "circle impact" style. That would make them a viable option for teams that need Hydro applications but don't do normal attacks. They would be like Aino, but with a sustain option.

Instead, their skill do pathetic damage and nothing else, and their Burst hits enemies twice, maybe three times of they are big enough, before going away.

Even Geo is more useful than Hydro. At least Geo has good particle generation and can buff the team for +10% CR.

They dropped the ball big time with HMC, after DMC have us hope that new elements would be actually usable.

Kounka2026-01-26 01:45

I was just replying to you saying MC is on the level of other free units. I was saying HMC is even below that. You get Barbara from the very beginning and now we have Aino with much more reliable hydro app and enabling one half of a lunar team. There really was no reason to sabotage HMC that bad but they did it anyway. I agree with everything else.

limajhonny692026-01-25 21:55

Yeah, i really thought "this is the hydro traveller we deserve"

xLordEnder2026-01-25 22:05

It’s frustrating to know that they know Hydro Traveler is absolute dogshit but instead of actually making them decent, they just give us Aino’s elemental burst as a makeshift patch job which feels so much of a cheap copout solution.

JunkoGremory2026-01-26 01:35

The Natland dragon boss fight animation was cool too

BaconTifo2026-01-26 05:57

Making the traveler decent gameplaywise would make Genshin lose all revenue so that's a no no 😍

PrinceVincOnYT2026-01-28 12:55

they really gives the traveler a lot of cool moves, never to be used again...
