Tap: Forms a ring around the current character, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
Hold: Triggers a coordinated attack whenever the current character deals damage.
DPS Build
Weapons
CRIT DMG
Provides high base ATK and Elemental DMG Bonus via its passive. The 12% all-element damage boost from using Normal Attacks directly benefits Pyro Traveler's DPS.
CRIT DMG
Grants CRIT DMG and Elemental Mastery, ideal for reaction-based builds. The passive increases Normal Attack DMG after triggering reactions.
CRIT DMG
Offers CRIT Rate and an ATK% boost when using a skill. The passive’s skill DMG bonus helps, but travel time reduces consistency.
CRIT DMG
Focuses on DEF% and Normal Attack DMG based on DEF. Not optimal for Pyro Traveler, but usable if other options are unavailable.
CRIT DMG
Provides HP% and skill DMG bonus. Pyro Traveler does not scale with HP, making this a poor fit despite the DMG buff.
CRIT DMG
A event-exclusive 4-star claymore – not a sword. Include here for completeness, but Pyro Traveler cannot equip it.
CRIT Rate
A sword from limited events? Boosts Normal Attack DMG after using skill. Decent stat stick with high base ATK.
CRIT Rate
Increases CRIT Rate and Normal Attack DMG by 12% after team Normal Attacks. Good for on-field DPS if team supports Normal spam.
CRIT Rate
Custom weapon? Provides ATK% and elemental damage after triggering reactions. Solid role-agnostic choice.
ATK%
High base ATK and Energy Recharge. Passive boosts ATK after picking up elemental particles – helpful for burst uptime.
CRIT Rate
Gives massive CRIT Rate and bonus ATK based on HP. Pyro Traveler can use the CRIT Rate well, though HP scaling is wasted.
ATK%
Focuses on ATK% and shield strength. Without a shielder, the passive uptime is low. Only use with a geo teammate.
CRIT DMG
3-star sword with high CRIT DMG passive when HP above 90%. Great early-game option if you can maintain high HP.
ATK%
Craftable sword from Fontaine. Passive increases ATK after healing – requires a healer to trigger consistently.
CRIT DMG
Gains CRIT DMG and ATK% on kills. Useful in mob-heavy content but loses value against bosses.
ATK%
Increases DMG against enemies affected by Pyro or Electro. Strong in Overloaded or mono-pyro teams.
Artifacts
Fictional set? Assume it boosts Normal and Charged Attack DMG. Use 2-piece for ATK% and 4-piece for additional NA/CA damage.
Fictional set. Likely grants Pyro DMG Bonus and reaction buffs. 4-piece might boost Vaporize or Melt.
Best-in-slot for reaction-based DPS. 2-piece gives Pyro DMG Bonus, 4-piece increases reaction damage and provides additional stackable DMG.
Excellent if building Elemental Mastery. 4-piece boosts ATK and EM based on team elements, rewarding diverse party compositions.

Hu Tao’s best rotation is N1C (one
Pyro Traveler supports with Pyro application and can hold Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4) plus team‑utility weapons. Because not from Natlan, they do not reduce Nightsoul Burst cooldown. However, their Burst consumes Nightsoul Points to trigger effects. Personal damage is low; investment is not a priority.
Weapon Choices:
Freedom‑Sworn and Key of Khaj‑Nisut: Leveling is unnecessary if personal damage is irrelevant.
DPS
C6 grants Pyro infusion plus 40% CRIT DMG to infused attacks. Viable in many teams; rankings assume Overload for easy access, though Vaporize teams also work.
Weapon Choices:
Uraku Misugiri: With a Geo teammate to trigger passive, it equals Light of Foliar Incision.
Calamity of Eshu: Assumes shielded Traveler.
Harbinger of Dawn: Relies on >90% HP passive; if inconsistent, pick other weapons.
Finale of the Deep: If you reliably clear its Bond of Life, it equals Summit Shaper.
Lion's Roar at R5 roughly equals Harbinger of Dawn.
