The Traveler's Elemental Skill has 2 variations: Their Tap Skill will form a ring around the active character and will deal damage when close to an enemy. Their Hold Skill will deal damage as a conjoined attack whenever the active character deals damage.
Key points to consider when using the Traveler's Elemental Skill include:

Understanding the Elemental Reactions that can be triggered by the Skill
Positioning the active character to maximize damage from the conjoined attack
Using the Skill in combination with other characters' Elemental Skills and Bursts

N1C is the ideal combo for PMC for Vaporize/Melt reactions
This combo is effective due to the high Pyro application and consistent Cryo procs, allowing for a high 80% EM bonus and increased damage output
Key components of this combo include:

High EM values for Vaporize reactions
Consistent Cryo application for Melt reactions
High ER values for Pyro characters

This combo can be used in various Domains and Spiral Abyss floors for efficient farming and high damage output.

Pyro Traveler takes on a supportive role with Pyro Application and the ability to hold supportive sets such as Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4) as well as weapons that provide team utility. It's worth noting that because Traveler is NOT from Natlan, they do not count towards the Nightsoul Burst cooldown reduction. They can, however, trigger effects that relies on the consumption of Nightsoul Points, which their Elemental Burst can help with since it restores some of their Nightsoul Points. Traveler's personal damage is rather low, and therefore, their damage investment isn't too big of a priority.
Regarding Weapon Choices:

Freedom-Sworn and Key of Khaj Nisut: If Traveler's personal damage is not something you are looking for, it is not needed to level this weapon for them.

Pyro Traveler's C6 offers access to a Pyro infusion as well as a 40% Crit DMG buff to infused attacks. This allows them to be a potent DPS, most notably with Vaporize and Melt reactions.
Regarding Weapon Choices:

Uraku Misugiri: Performs even better than similar options if a Geo character is on the team.
Primordial Jade Cutter and Haran Geppaku Futsu: Perform roughly equal to Light of Foliar Incision if the Traveler isn't using Obsidian Codex (4).
Wolf Fang: At R5, this weapon rivals Primordial Jade Cutter.
Finale of the Deep: If the Bond of Life can be cleared reliably, this weapon is better than Iron Sting.
Harbinger of Dawn: Assumes the passive is always active, which may not be realistic.

Foreign Blaze

Flowfire Blade

Together, you and Paimon watched the shifting colors of the flowing flames.

Wields a searing flame that can incinerate the very earth. Has different effects when Tapped or Held.

Tap
Call forth flames in a raging blaze. When used, the Traveler gains 42 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state, summoning a Blazing Threshold that follows the current active character.
When the Blazing Threshold gets close to opponents, it will deal Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG to nearby opponents at intervals.

Hold
Unleash fire in a composed manner, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Pyro DMG to nearby opponents. When used, the Traveler gains 42 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state, summoning a Scorching Threshold that follows the current active character.
When the current active character within a Scorching Threshold deals DMG to opponents, the Threshold will launch a Coordinated Attack that deals Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG based on the Traveler's ATK. This effect can occur once every 3s.

Nightsoul's Blessing: Traveler
Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. The Traveler's Nightsoul's Blessing state lasts 12s at maximum, and when their Nightsoul points are exhausted, this state will end. If this Elemental Skill is used again while active, the Traveler's Nightsoul points will be reset to 42 points.
Blazing and Scorching Thresholds will disappear once the Traveler's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends, and only 1 Blazing or Scorching Threshold summoned by the Traveler themselves can exist at any one time.
