I am shocked, and appalled at how terrible the Hydro MC is in Genshin Impact. Maybe this is why they didn't even show them off in the reveal! I cannot recommend anyone waste materials building this character.
Yeah the way wind trav's ult goes past immovable enemies reducing the damage it could do because it moves away also But at least it swirls and drags enemies+debuff
Hydro Traveler does heal, but gotta hit enemies so a bubble will drop and you collect the bubbles. But Honestly, Kokomi still heals better than Hydro Traveler
@@kimsonrobinson3171barbara can have weird scaling because her dmg is based on atk and heals on hp. Traveller could be an optimized barbara that heals and deals dmg scaling on hp (still not that good but less dps loss)
The fact only dendro mc is basically the only good one is sad. Electro, Anemo, and Geo is aight but you got better units. Hydro mc looks disappointing.
Like u can't use traveller to clear every contents in this game Pmc is shi if u invest maybe it can help u to clear the content but it is still the same as traveller
@@sarenlover6624no where near the same, Preservation Trailblazer has Taunt which at the moment is pretty important. They're also super free to play friendly since we only have 3 preservation units right now.
@@nathanielmorey2800Well, if we are to believe the LEAKS/SPOILERS: He is the reincarnation of the Water Sovereign Dragon (the one that many lore theorists thought was reincarnated as Kokomi). He was originally meant to be reincarnated in Enkonomiya through one of the Coral Defenders boss duo Vishaps but as they were corrupted by the Cryo and Electro elements, he was forced to reincarnate in human form. Suffice to say that he does not need the status of archon to be powerful.
What makes me angry is Hydro!Mc was such an easy slamdunk. We don't have many good AOE sub dps Hydro characters. Xingqiu and Yelan are both largely single target. Kokomi's Aoe is limited to a smaller locked range and she's more of a healer. Mona has a big explosive burst. There were room to make the Hydro MC function without encroaching or powercreeping other Hydro Units and Hoyo just went the worst possible route.
Mihoyo has has gotten lazy with the traveler.. notice that they don’t even have an elemental final auto attack anymore? The only versions that has it is geo and anemo.
I mean, I'd rather a talent that improves their existing skills rather than a extra hit thats locked behind a full normal attack combo when you cant even infuse
Who the heck even uses Traveler as a "Normal attack" Main DPS Carry? They are better off with the Usual Energy recharge Skill/Burst Spam Quickswap type of Playstyle... than staying in the field for TOO LONG just to have 1 proc of measly damage passive....and probably waste DMG setup for other members of the team....on how selfish Main DPS builds are.
@@JMike-bq6rl @YoshiGamingYT that’s not the point.. the point is uniqueness. Traveler doesn’t have that unique trait anymore because “nobody uses it”.. You think that’s a justification for its removal? It’s not our fault ya’ll only play 1 playstyle with your units.. if you have yunjin then you have no reason not to level of his normal attack talent to play him on field.
@@datpurp9564 Ok one: I like having field time for my characters, Hell, the reason i have C6 Kazuha is just so that i can have him on field for longer. And two: i'd rather use Yunjin with him than traveler for the same reason, the traveler's normal attacks aren't worth investing into. Having yunjin doesnt change anything when there's better normal attack characters you could use.
@@Brownyan so you limit yourself on what your capable of doing with traveler? Got it. Obviously travelers kit don’t affect you since you just c6 a 5star anyways.. so ur opinion on traveler really don’t matter. Y’all care way too much about playing as optimal as possible, I play for fun and use all my units kits and auto attacks because I like putting their animation to use.
Dehya is only bad in damage no? But her aplication and tank kit is better than Diluc DPS who can lose to a four star DPS in damage, probably diluc only beats the four star DPS with constelations.
@@mauriciorosademoraes9209dehyas bad in everything, dmg mitigation just use a shield, damage really low, bad downtime, no hydro applicator synergy, insufficient pyro app, etc. a well invested diluc can dish out 80k-150k though, hes really not that bad
Traveller dendro and the free Collei probably lost Hoyo money as people who cant spend much money didn't need to pull on the banners for dendro as they were happy with these two This time they made sure to make him real bad
Anemo Traveler - reduces anemo resistance Geo Traveler - use to go out of bounds in the game and break it Electro Traveler - no one knows Dendro Traveler - Good Dendro application for best reactions Hydro Traveler - shoots bubbles for show and dies
it's always sad that mihoyo just constantly take mc for granted. It's really clear that they don't care enough to make mc better and that their priority is for us to pull for character.
Its really sad that Traveller gets the end of the stick. Only Genshin Team is like this. Hoyo proved already they can make an MC with good or atleast decent kit in their other games. Hell even storywise and character wise, Traveller is the worst MC across the Hoyoverse. Well least interesting to me as they are very dull and having a bad kit (except Dendro) doesn't help at all.
@amlightspeedy3090 cuz they keep releasing mid tier character lately also, some of the genshin characters are not as strong as in the story. such as traveler, dehya or candace
The hydro application of the water gun is actually rather quick, because it ticks so darn fast, and you can technically spray it in a multiple target scenario, or spam one target in duel, so it's rather flexible. You COULD in theory use HMC as a Hydro driver in a reaction team, and he can heal himself and teammates and provide a shield at higher constellations. Add Collei, Fischl and Xiangling and you've got yourself a F2P friendly reaction team that will do good damage, running on a fairly tight rotation, and regarding the burst, just with Anemo MC, if you can position the enemy near the edge of an arena or some kind of wall, you can do some cute things with it. But honestly, this kit blows. I burst out laughing when I first used the hold skill. It looks so janky, and staying in place firing off that pea shooter is practically the anti-thesis of my Genshin playstyle. I'm 100% gonna stick to DMC. Thank God we have that one good kit for the Traveler so we don't really have to worry about his other kits even existing. Can't wait to touch base in Natlan for the 5 primo achievement and laugh at that one as well before teleporting back to Sumeru real quick to get my good character back.
Fun fact: Hydro Traveler's burst just phases out of the walls of the Spiral Abyss. Hydro Traveler burst is affected by no-gravity so its just aimlessly moving forward till it dies. That's the issue with thr burst. It is aimless in trajectory.
appart from the fact that the skill is very strange, I simply HATE that the bubble from the burst IS NOT STOPPED by a construct (like Zhongli pillar). Furthermore, I still hate the fact that the bubble just travels foward instead of rotating around you (which would make it comparable to Kaeya, Xiangling and other units whose ult travels with you!)
I wonder what went through their heads when they finished this character? “Yeah this is good. People will like this for sure. Definitely not disappointing at all”.
Alot of the early characters are. Bennett, Fischl, Sucrose. I would also include Jean in there given that they don't want to give us any form of good cleanse.
Not really a mistake. It was intentional on their part to make some of the early (1.0) four star units strong to help f2p players progress without any specific five star character.
I knew a review like this was coming the moment I tried him. They're gonna have to give a useful artifact set or character that synergizes for hmc to not be dog shit. Given the traveler is usually a knock off archon, I have to wonder whether I should even be saving for Focalors at this point. Total shame, becuse I'm loving 4.0 otherwise.
Neuvillette got his dogshit kit instead,its literally same but better animations,i wander what numbers he will have and will he go to standard banner cuz of this
you know what would make this traveler "saveable" ? If they add a pyro unit, that does a VERY SIMILAR burst, and they travel together at the same speed, doing damage and reactions at the same time, that's literally THE ONLY way to fix it.
How to fix hydro Mc: give him hydro infusion on last attack like Anemo and Geo, Let him be a sub dps by making his skill continue firing even after switching characters and moving. Make his burst last twice as long and travel to the closest enemy, after reaching enemy, explodes into a large aoe whirlpool pulling in and dealing continuous damage and healing to all enemies/standing in it
lol, what would be the most broken 5 star hydro character ever , its no a fix xD To fix it, they can even leave the skill the way it is.. just make the burst STEADY , or, taht follows the traveler around for that time duration.
They don’t expect much people to care about the traveler, so why bother 😅 that being said, not learning their mistakes with Dehya and proceeding to do this clearly shows they’re inside their own little bubble and don’t care what the community says
Skill could have been a (tap) pop.. or (hold) 3 hit and slap).. Burst could have been like a tidal wave version of Dilucs burst.. would have been way more usable
I don't know about damage but I personally find his ability fun. Planning to pair him with Nahida and squirt my enemies to death. Also, his ultimate is literally RAASEN SHURIKEN
I was lagging real bad the day of release but I tried hydro travelers ult and it looked like it exploded on contact on an enemy and created some kind of a zone dealing constant hydro damage. But I shortly disconnected after. I was so hype for it when I got back on I can't say I wasn't dissapointed
I'm very worried about the Ousia/Pneuma system applied to combat. In Spyral Abyss we'll probably be FORCED to use Fontaine characters in order to do enough damage to 36 stars it, and if this is gonna be true, I'll be so pissed at Hoyoverse, I was already kinda annoyed by the Burgeon only side the last time but it was doable overall, but force me to use new characters even if I don't like them over the one I already have is bs. I hope I'm wrong
I think you can still brute force the Abyss with well built chracters similar to some people killing Asimon without Dendro. So far, the Ousia/Pneuma system only helps by stunning or disabling the powerful attacks of certain enemies.
it\s more for disabling enemies abilities not to do more damage. i think your statement will age poorly trust me. They even said that they don\t want it to be a intricate system like the elemental system in the 4.0 livestream.
I'm sure brute forceing will still be possible, but for 36 stars? every second matters if u're f2p/low spender, I really hope it will not change that much guys
In response to the title: No. Just because he/she can work in a Bloom team. Yup. That's the only reason and that's how broken things are with Dendron now.
in response to your response, no. Barbara does so much better and she will not get you killed unlike hmc's skill. bloom is already deadly because it can also damage you, are you a masochist?
Hoyo's first 2 star DPS character lol No lie, I've been on a recent revival of the Anemo traveller. He's one of my re-new favorite characters to play. He's my on-field DPS, and Xiangling is my off field dps. One of my favorite attacks has always been picking up guoba with wind blade and effectively using guoba like a flamethrower. Anemo Traveler is C6 and xiangling is C6. This flamethrowing fun factor was only increased by the inclusion of dendro. Now, I have added my C6 Yao Yao to the team. The best part? Wind blade effects Yao yao's yuegui in the same manner as guoba. So, I drop both of the Pokemon, switch to traveller, he outstretches his arms for the wind blade, and then both yuegui and guoba are sent forward to attack. It looks so cool, like he's commanding the Pokemon to attack! And then everything gets swirled together. It's no longer anemo swirling pyro. It's anemo swirling pyro and dendro together. Anemo traveller cannot swirl dendro, but he can pickup and control both yuegui and the bountiful cores. The result is dmg much greater than before. His tornado gets ragged on too, but it's much better than this droplet of water. His tornado can pick up guoba and yuegui. It will infuse with pyro, and yuegui will cause constant dendro damage inside of the tornado. My fourth character is mona, so there are usually bountiful cores on the field too. Her taunt is almost like a Pokemon too, not quite, but well enough to suit my makeshift Pokemon team (I thought about using fischl for my Pokemon team, but I like that wind blade and tornado can pickup and control the bountiful cores, so i really wanted a hydro). Mona is first in rotation, so hydro get reaction first, and then the second in rotation, xiangling, recieves the TTDS boost. Next is yao yao and yuegui, followed by anemo wind blade or tornado. Any enemy caught within the grips of the traveller's tornado will suffer pyro dmg, anemo dmg, swirl, burning dmg, and often burgeon dmg. The tornado is his last recommended talent to level, but my tornado is super deadly to any enemies that can be picked up by the winds. And if not, the tornado still does 20% anemo/infused-element reduction (at C6). That becomes a nice addition to the VV resistance reduction, regardless if the winds do not carry away large enemies. Long story short, anemo traveller is way better than the hydro. His tornado gets ragged on, but it has way more utility than this water droplet.
Im so glad you pointed this out. I main mc in lore events EVERYTIMES without bringing any team member. And i build mc as solo unit. Was hoping for healer mc so i can finally be less struggling. Plot twist this bozo deplete hp for E skill 🗿
On top of there being some incredible hydro units like Kokomi, Yelan, Xingqiu, and Nilou it was going to be hard pressed to even rationalize using hydro traveller
@@ElPibePlay1000 yeah, imo Freminet shouldve been a hydro character. It makes sense, he is a diver, and he would be the first hydro claymore. We already got enough cryo characters plus Wriothesley and Charlotte
I dont even think the main issue is that the skill takes long. You do get super armor during your skill and if you position yourself in the enemy's face those bubbles can spawn ontop of you so she almost feels like Dehya, but Hydro. This would be a decent hydro turret for hyperbloom teams if the skill was AOE splash and didnt have standard icd.
For me this traveler is pretty good, He is an Sub dps, Just put some xiangling/dendro units and hold E, he will deal an pretty nice dmg, useful on bosses since theres gonna be more than one hit, he can self heal and even restore his own energy, its not BAD its just HELLA WEIRD
omg what the hell you taking about..... 5:40 its a fking DMG bonus it not like adding a damage to the final value. It gets added up with the total attack, which means it benefits every multiplier, such as crit damage, elementary mastery, etc.
My favorite part of these worst character videos is that i can see how wrong they turn out to be in the next couple of patches and enjoy the character's new playstyle and damage while i wait
@@YoshiAteTooManyYoshiCookies idk, I just enjoy characters I love, look at how everyone dunked on dehya and now her passive healing goes pretty well with furina’s healing passive, sure she might not be a dps but I mean not every character needs to be. Would it have been fun to one punch everything in the way? Yes very much, is it not fun rn? No, it’s still fun and finding ways to go around those limits the characters have is part of what makes the game even more fun!
I was really hoping they'd finally made Traveler good at something. It doesn't have to be S tier, that's fine, but at least make an A tier traveler. It's the main character of the story!
from when?... the traveler is literally a mute, Paimon is the main char, sad , but its the reality of things, traveler skill EXCEPT dendro, all sucks compared to other elements.
@amlightspeedy3090 because whoever call the shots, are arrogant narcissistic people, who only think they can be right all the time. they can't care less if they actually right or not, because in their mind they are always right. Its like kind that says "the balls is mine, so whoever want to play follows my rule" leaving out anyone who doesn't like their rules.
lol next week we get the "I WAS WRONG ABOUT HYDRO TRAVELER" video - The answer is always Hyperbloom. He is your hydro trigger. Off field Dendro and Electro and a healer and you're set. Level 1 talents and 2k per bullet, then 10k on a final slash, seems perty good to me. He does trigger Kuki, Nahida, Raiden. Dendro traveler is a 6* character so yes every element has a new standard to live up to but this blows Anemo Geo and Electro out of the water. Literally.
I think Hoyoverse tried to overcorrect itself because Dendro MC was too strong. I think for a new account, Hydro MC is decent but there are indeed better hydro chracters for veteran players. It just goes to show how OP the Hydro element is as it is able to react well with other elements.
Traveler spent too much time with Klee in the last event, and now all he does is blow baby bubbles. That's the most pitiful set of abilities I've ever seen! 😭👶😭
New players are gonna suffer from this. This is outrageous, its unfair, how can Hoyo do this? If they be hating on the poster boy the least they could've done is put him as healer
unless the new players you speak of restrict themselves from wishing its most likely they would have gotten a way better 4star hydro character like xingqiu and barbara
i am extremely sad about this, Aether is my main and i was really looking forward to playing hydro.... guess im stuck with dendro for now... I SWEAR TO GOD IF HIS PYRO AND CRYO POWERS SUCK TOO I WILL CRY
I'm an Aether main too and man this disappoints me so much. This was my most anticipated element and it is just terrible. I really have little hope for the next elements, it really feels like dendro traveler was a mistake. They're defo gonna release more half-baked for the traveler.
Fontaine in a nutshell: we have this new mechanic both for open world and for battle, but all of your super invested characters aren't allowed to use it. So here you go, a first 3-star unit and a relatively weak anemo character, enjoy yourself and buy our future 5-stars, come on, we aren't even trying to hide it. :) Fontaine is a scam. At least they added some pneuma-ousia charges near some puzzles, but it's a scam still. I mean, come on, make MC's ult a static sphere with good hydro application. It'll be usefus both for classic wape and freeze teams as well as for modern dendro chaos teams. But nooo, 4-7 seconds on a 20 seconds cooldown.
Yeah, I've gotta admit, I'm not overly impressed with Hydro Traveller. To be fair, my talents are all at 1 at the moment (can't even start farming the domains till tomorrow), but still, I've got an Aquila Favonius and a cracked set of artifacts on her, so she should be doing half-decent damage, but no....she hits like a wet blanket! I'm only using her in hydro spec for now because of that new ousia/pneuma mechanic. I've got Lyney and Lynette though, so once they're both at an adequate 'fighting level', my Traveller is going back to Dendro spec! I actually use Dendro MC all the time in my Nilou team, but that team is all screwed up at the moment with Traveller being in Hydro spec! It's a shame they didn't make Hydro Traveller a healer. Hydro has got far too many good characters so they needed to make Hydro MC stand out a bit. They didn't.
I was hoping somehow he have a special mechanics that can helps boost Ally's max HP etc. or maybe like an emergency healing that can pop off whenever anyone in the party drops to a certain HP, or even have a function in the Bloom/Superbloom teamcomps.. but this? I was looking for a buildguide for Hydro MC bcs yknow, the new Ousia mechanics and my traveller is at Lvl90. But with this kit, I'd rather build Lynette for Ousia mechanics.
Well, let’s see: Anemo Traveler creates a tornado, Venti creates a black hole thing Geo Traveler drops a rock, Zhongli drops a meteor Electro Traveler works like a battery, Raiden can give energy *and* deal damage Dendro Traveler creates a seed thing that pulses Dendro, Nahida creates a temple that enhances her Dendro links Hydro Traveler uses HP to deal damage, Furina will probably utilize the same HP drain and heal mechanic
I remember answering genshin survey. I said dendro mc is a good step in making mc as a playable character and hope it continues. What the heck is this now?
the thing is, if someone has played enough to go to Fontaine, they probably got something better than the hydro MC, so this probably wont even help beginners
Pretty much any situation where you could use HMC, you're better off using Barbara, honestly. The only 'upside' Traveler has is being able to proc the Arkhe mechanic.
It is stupid that you will treat your main character like garbage even when the story is about them , the lore is about them and yet they suck. Genshin just wants money.
No way this guy gets money from complaining about the least concerning problems that Genshin has. If you're making money out of this, then at least complain about the combat and exploration system. Then at least you will be useful and deserve that 8 minutes ad revenue.
Basically, what Mtashed is saying is that there's no reason to switch from dendro to hydro once I get to the port city. Too bad, DMC is still a good character for roaming around the overworld and even useful in past Abysses. I had hoped that Hoyo learned something following the previous lackluster MC versions (especially electro MC).
Its the biggest fuck you they could give to their mc, and the player by extention, anemo and geo is at least fun to use, but electro onwards is just boring, and denro is just leeching off of how busted dendro's effect is. You can't even compare this pile of dogshit of an mc, to kiana and trailblazer. They clearly don't give a fuck about traveler.
Barely tried him out + doesnt even have constellation + if you think about it, he is a main DPS, not a support. His E deals alot especially with right artifacts and BP weapon, on top of that he is going to improve as the game goes on because of constellations
