Hydro Traveler's personal DPS is relatively low, making it challenging to clear the Abyss without a highly invested and expensive team composition.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: At the time of writing this, Hydro Traveler provides no utility to a team that cannot be better filled by another unit, including Barbara which all players can obtain at AR 18. SUPPORT Hydro Traveler's support playstyle focuses on utilizing their Skill and Burst to trigger various support-based weapon and artifact passives, while also dealing Pneuma damage with their Skill. This approach is only recommended if a source of Pneuma is required and Traveler is the only available source of Pneuma-aligned damage. Alternatively, the 4-Star "Sword of Narzessinkreuz" can provide an Arkhe attack for other characters, further diminishing Hydro Traveler's usability if this weapon has been obtained. Regarding Artifact Sets: - Tenacity of the Millelith: Suitable for the hold version of Hydro Traveler's Skill. ON FIELD DPS Hydro Traveler can be used as an on-field DPS in specific teams, typically those with Furina, Bennett, and a flexible unit. Their DPS is not extremely high, however. Regarding Weapon Choices: - Uraku Misugiri: Hydro Traveler's best option in teams with a Geo character. - Summit Shaper: Ranked assuming Hydro Traveler is C4, providing a shield for them. - Wolf Fang (R5): Comparable to Light of Foliar Incision. - Favonius Sword: May be a better option due to its utility.
