Traveler (Hydro)
Who is Traveler (Hydro)?
The Traveler's Hydro form, unlocked by attuning to Fontaine's Hydro Statue during the Archon Quest. As a free 5★ Hydro Sword, Hydro Traveler is a budget Sub-DPS and Bloom enabler — perfectly serviceable for newer players who lack dedicated Hydro supports, though outclassed by units like Xingqiu, Yelan, or Kokomi. Game8 rates them D-tier. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/416602

零氪建议
Unlocked for free by resonating with the Fontaine Hydro Statue in the Archon Quest — no pulls needed.
Finale of the Deep (craftable) is a solid free weapon.
Aim for ~180% Energy Recharge for reliable Burst uptime.
Build Elemental Mastery for Bloom/Hyperbloom teams; CRIT stats for general Sub-DPS use.
C2 (extends Burst duration) is a meaningful QoL upgrade. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/416602
