168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Genshin Impact's Dendro Traveler has released, bringing forth a fresh gameplay style specifically for them that makes♋ for some tricky yet exciting team compositions.
The trick to the new build is Elemental Mastery. Hoyoverse has reintroduced this often-overlooked stat because Dendro is optimally used when in combination with another element. Together with a select number of elements, Dendro has o♛ffered some powerful new combinations that can spawn a flurry of different types of damage —some that are familiar and others that have just been introduced to the lineup wit🌳h the Sumeru update.
Traveler’s Skill – Razorgrass Blade
Much like the Electro build, the Traveler’s last basic sword attack will not deal any extra elemental damage like the Anemo and Geo build. The skill is similar in nature too, dealing a spread attack of blades of leaves that result in Dendro damage. Due to Verdant Luxury, a passive ability that is unlocked around the 60/70 level range, Elemental Mastery gives 0.15 percent more damage based on each point of Elemental Mastery the Traveler ownᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs. Likewise, there is a boo🅷st in damage dealt for the Traveler’s Burst as well that will increase the damage by 0.1 percent based on each point of Elemental Mastery.
The Traveler requires a fair bit of Energy Recharge in order to continually dole out their Skill and Burst. You can either run them with an Energy Recharge weapon or select a slot in their Artifact kit to run as Energy Recharge; focusing on t🐻hat as a Substat shouldn’t hurt either. You canꦯ also use another Dendro character in the lineup or have a Battery Character like Dori or Raiden Shogun who is constantly upping everyone’s Energy Recharge.
Traveler’s Burst – Surgent Manifestation
The best part of the Traveler’s new build is the Burst. They’ll summon a Lea Lotus Lamp to the field, a flower surrounded by an AOE field that will occasionally deal Dendro damage to any enemy that steps inside of it. As the game puts it, the Lamp flower will undergo a Transfiguration, or change, when it comes into contact with any of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:following elements: Hydro, Electo, and Pyrꦡo.
- Hydro - When the flower comes into contact with any Hydro attacks or characters affected by Hydro, it will visibly grow and expand its AOE to deal damage to a wider area. This will allow for both the Hydro to affect enemies if it’s the form of an attack as well as Dendro, which will unleash Dendro Cores when the two elements collide. Leaving these cores to the field will eventually lend its aid in more Dendro damage once they burst, or if mixed with Electro or Pyro will result in either Hyperbloom damage or Burgeon.
- Electro - When the flower comes into contact with the Electro element, the attack speed of the Lamp will increase and deal more Dendro damage to enemies that wander into the lamp’s area. This can allow for more attacks that will deal Quicken and Aggravate damage, an affliction that permeates enemies by occasionally making them take Electro damage as well as the Dendro damage from the Lamp’s AOE attack.
- Pyro - The most straightforward of the functions is when Pyro comes into contact with the Lamp. The flower will begin to shrivel, and after a short delay, will explode either dealing Burning or Burgeon damage if enemies are afflicted with Dendro or if there are any Dendro cores in its AOE.
Overall, the Traveler's new abilities as seen in Sumeru have allowed for the incredible growth of possibilities both with different team compositions and playstyles depending on what suits you best. While the Dendro applications were perceived to be limiting, it boils down easily when it comes to experimenting with how to grasp this new playstyle for both the current characters of Sumeru and for upcoming ones.
Most Dendro teams will do better with a fast Hydro applicator because the more Dendro cores that are on the field, the more damage you can do. The best characters for this so far are Kokomi, Nilou, Xinqui, Yelan, and possibly Mona. Replacements like Barbara and Candace can be used for Barbara’s Bl♐oom and Candace’s Burst ability where she is able to change everyone’s Normal Attack to deal Hydro damage.
An Optimal Build
The Traveler works best off of Elemental Mastery and can either be built as support or DPS, so while Noblesse Oblige will always be a strong contender for any support, it is worth looking at the new artifact set in Sumeru, Gilded Dreams. Gilded Dreams provides +80 Elemental Master with two pieces and with four pieces, buffs the party’s attack by 14 percent of every member who is a different element. Elemental mastery will also be increased by 50 for each party member’s variation as well which prompts for a balanced support and DPS build for the Traveler.
For the artifacts, it’s best to focus on Elemental Mastery instead of attack as well as Crit stats to prompt more damage. When focusing on where to put the damage for the Traveler, it can either vary from Elemental Mastery for each artifact (Sands, Goblet, and Circlet) as is standard for support. Or they can focus on a more DPS build, which would be Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge for the Sands, Dendro for the Goblet, and Crit 🔯Circlet dependent on what the you need more (rate or damage.)
If you wonder why you would need Energy Recharge for a Sands artifact piece is because the Traveler requires a bit more energy recharge to continually use their burst. Depending on the weapon they wield, it can either be Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge so yꦜou can focus on the vice versa for the artifact Sands.
A weapon that suits the Traveler well for this build is, for example, the Iron Sting since it builds off Elemental Mastery and provides more elemental damage by a certain percentage depending on what refinement it is. Another weapon to look at is one that is provided through the Aranara quests, Sapwood Blade. Sapwood is built off Energy Recharge and its side effect is that once it triggers a reaction caused by Dendro, it’ll drop off a leaf that if picked up, grants the character 60 more Elemental Mastery for 12 seconds. This can be triggered every 20 seconds even when the character is not on the field. But given that the weapon cannot be unlocked until you play through the Sumeru’s world quest, Favonious is always a good backup as is Sacrificial.
Favonious Sword is a great Energy Recharge weapon that helps the team as well as the Traveler. For every Critical hit, it’ll spawn Elemental Particles that can regenerate everyone’s Burst. Depending on the refinement, it can either do this 60 percent of the time at base and 100 percent when maxed to five. On the other hand, Sacrificial Sword is a good time for just about any character since once it deals damage to an enemy, based on a 40 percent chance, it’ll end the character’s Skill countdown allowing them to use it once again. This sword is always a good time once refined at any stage since the percentage only grows. At max refinement, the percentage is up to 80 and practically allows for the character to consistently use their skills twice.
