so apparently the element we resonate with kinda have the same kit as the regions archon/sovereign?

This has been a running theory for a while but I always found it a bit far-fetched. There are similarities but it is hardly the "same kit". Just look at dendro mc.

It can also be that most of the elements are also based around the central mechanic or theme of the element. Anemo is swirl and elemental absorption. Geo is constructs. Electro is Energy. Dendro is just reactions. Hydro is healing/hp manipulation (technically its being broken but sshhh, we cant let Trav know). Pyro is offense/attack. Cryo has typically been associated with crit and or freeze.

It's just that traveler will always have a much weaker but still on theme kit, while the archon/sovereign is supposed to have a kit that is the epitome of that theme.

Yeah actually.

Anemo Traveler burst = Large tornado that pulls enemies in and swirls.
Venti burst = Wind vortex that pulls enemies in and swirls.

Geo traveler E skill = places Geo constructs.
Zhongli E skill = Places Geo construct(s)

Electro traveler = can battery for your team.
Ei = Can battery for your team

Dendro traveler burst = Creates small area around you which can help reactions.
Nahida burst = Creates large area around you which can help reactions.

Hydro traveler = Shooting continues water bubbles.
Neuvillette = Shooting large beam of water



These are just a few similarities I noticed there might be more that I haven't realized yet.
