The Traveler in Genshin Impact is the starting character that every player receives. This character has the unique ability to switch between different items found in the game, such as Anemo, Geo, and Electro. This means that the traveler actually has several unique and playable kits, each with their own niches and strengths. However, as a free character, the Traveler is generally considered weaker than most of their 5-star counterparts.
If you plan to raise the traveler, know that some items are better than others, while others serve different purposes and niches. Follow this guide to get a ranking of Anemo’s talents and find out which of Traveler’s items are the best.

The Geo Traveler is the second form you can unlock for the character and is representative of the Liyue region. The Geo Traveler can deal a lot of damage with its Geo and Elemental Burst versions, but while it can deal serious damage, the Geo element is generally considered to be one of the weakest in the game. Additionally, Geo Traveler does not doesn’t provide much utility for other characters, as Crystallize is a weaker reaction.
However, the Geo Traveler still has a niche with Geo equipment. Characters like Noelle and Arataki Itto can use their Geo builds, especially since their Elemental Burst provides a substantial 10% Crit Rate boost that helps your team deal more damage. As an under-DPS character, Geo Traveler is a suitable pair with Zhongli, Arataki Itto, Noelle, and Gorou.

The Anemo Traveler is the default form of character and item you start with. As a representative of Mondstadt, Anemo Traveler wields a decent amount of crowd control and damage as a support unit. Anemo characters can also use the Viridescent Venerer artifact set to reduce enemy resistance to other elements.
Accordingly, the Anemo Traveler can be placed as a replacement for many popular and meta teams, such as Tartaglia, Xiangling, Bennett comp. One problem is that there are plenty of better alternatives that free players should have no problem getting, such as Sucrose, which makes Anemo Traveler a less attractive option when you have stronger alternatives. However, this character can get away with it in a pinch.

The Electro Traveler is a decent support unit and can be a nice addition to Dendro teams. While the Dendro MC is better, as more Dendro characters are introduced to the game, the Electro Traveler can be used as a battery for Electro characters like Keqing instead of their standard set.
The Electro Traveler generally does little damage, but can be a good option for pairing up with other Electro meta-characters like Raiden Shogun. Electro is a stronger element due to the introduction of Dendro, so Electro Traveler has gained a bit more power.

Dendro Traveler is easily the main character’s strongest form, in part due to his high damage output and ability to synergize with powerful Dendro characters like Nahida or Alhaitham. Traveler Dendro is a really strong character, especially since Dendro’s reactions are some of the strongest in the game.

Use the Dendro Traveler with Electro characters like Fischl or Keqing. This can activate strong aggravated compositions and cause serious damage. You can also pair Dendro Traveler with characters like Thoma for a Burgeon comp, or Xingqiu and Yelan for a Hyperbloom comp.
