Hydro Traveler is just... WOW. Double Crowned Showcase! Genshin Impact 4.0 

Big thanks to today's sponsor, Tower of God: New World! ggcont.me/44e4Vla Tower of God New World is based on the popular webcomic and features high quality 3D autochess combat! Thanks again everyone! And let me know how you're using your Hydro Traveler. Also small mistake in the graphic at 3:55. It's 24.15% HP scaling damage, not 25.3% HP scaling damage.

Hydro mc is like an waterbender that just knows how to shoot droplets and not do crazy things like katara

It would've been better if hydro traveler's burst would circle around the active character like Xianglings burst

Hydro mc would be infinitely better if the burst didn’t just move straight. Keeping still, moving around the character or just changing direction towards enemies would make it so much better

I don'g get why Hyv removed the travelers' passive where their last NA slash does elemental dmg relative to the one they're currently resonating with. It at least gave them another bit of elemental application and dmg while waiting for their cooldowns

Imagine having taken a break from the game, coming back excited for Fontaine, and then this is the first thing u see

Star Rail: Makes the MC went from Okay to pretty good after 1 planet Genshin: 4 Years in, 5 Elements gotten and only 1 is an actual choice of usage

The best thing about this Hydro MC is that you would easily go back to Sumeru & switch to DMC instead.

Java is gonna be so extatic, since now he can solve bow puzzles with swords only

I'm in mix of amusement and disappointment, hydro mc can do anything with water like "water can take on any shape", but they just chose go pew pew like wow.

I’ve done hours of testing to find out what is the most viable role for the hydro mc. And after hours of tests, I’ve concluded that the best way to use the hydro mc is to use his/her ability to help Varden and Gurgen to water their sumeru roses.

We love a good moisturized traveler

I think my biggest copium in this game is hoping that if we can get travelers gold sword from the intro cutscene, equipping it buffs all traveler numbers

Hydro mc would have been much better if their burst is more like kuki skill or xiangling burst.

Didn't think there'd be a worse traveler than electro but they might have just outdone themselves with this one. If the traveler didn't require so much field time with their skill or the burst stops at the first enemy hit they could be decent, but it looks like they tried to hard at making them another useless character 💀

Hydro traveler really do be doing the finger gun

The hydro traveler hurts me, i got my hopes up with this one because the dendro one was so good.

That thing about Nilou team is facts. It’s really annoying trying to get Kokomi to chase down everyone who are not grouped up 😅. I might consider HMC then

Fun fact: With Hydro Traveler's introduction, Vourukasha's Glow is now the best Artifact set for both of the worst two characters in the game. Edit: Actually nvm, turns out Vourukasha's Glow doesn't proc form Hydro MCs suffusion damage.

Ty for the video, was waiting for someone to showcase with crowned talents

No way, traveller shoots water from the finger Like piu piu

Honestly I can't get HMC out of my team because the shooting sword and the ult looks so damn cool to me 😭

If only they were as viable as dmc

I’m no meta enthusiast but I use hydro traveller with Lynette and raiden for overworld exploration. With raiden’s skill it can do a good amount of damage to regular enemies. Lynette is there for ousia, which makes fighting meka and doing puzzles easier.

I got C2 on it and I will say that the bubble slowed down a lot and deals more damage, this plays a significant and important role for the hydro traveler.

So far the only use for her has been with 4p emblem, but it'd be nice if her ult at least carried enemies with it, even if only for an extra hit or two

I believe her C2 slows her ultimate, so it hits enemies more, which means more damage overall

Please C6 and e6 tier list

Hydro traveler has the Freeza/ Piccolo kinda of skill, Gojo's Hollow purple Burst. Hoyoverse character design team has some culture members lol

Not a sub dps (has to be on field), not a main dps (bad multipliers), not a support (kit focuses only on damage), not a hydro applier (low hydro application), what is their purpose? The only thing I can think of is exploration, since the region has these water container thingies that need a ton of hydro to fill up, but even that can be done by Barbara. I haven't seen their constellations though

I was getting bored of my main team so I decided to switch it up while exploring Fontaine. My team is Hydro Lumine / Nahida / Barbara / Kazuha right now. I didn’t fully build traveler do Nahida does all the damage but traveler does suprise me sometimes. I love her play style it’s so fun

It's about time to see someone making video about HMC

I have her and Lynette in my overworld team for Fontaine because I'm not going for Lyney, but as soon as I get Neuvillette or Furina she's going in the bin.

Dehya's artifact set would be a lot better on HMC because it takes advantage of the hp drain and buffs skill and burst dmg. (Update HMC's skill doesn't proc the set's effect, so it's actually not very good sadly.)

Was really hoping that hydro Traveler might be as good as Dendro. It has a nice idea with the manual shooting dewdrops, but I feel it really could be better and it just isn't. Regardless, I'm still going to try and build her as the best dps I can because Traveler doesn't get nearly enough usage as I feel they should. Trying Freeze, Nilou Bloom, Vaporize, and Annihilation teams (for Fontaine), and going to try my hand at a mono hydro team as well. ♡

afaik pneuma and osia-related skills can deal supper effective damage to shields regardless of the element in some fontaine enemies like the dancing robot boss and the soccer balls. i think that's one of the mechanics for the pneumosia but maybe theyre adding some soon

I used Hydro MC on Team 2 Spiral Abyss 12 with the ever so reliable Hyperbloom team and it is really funny when he’s aggresively pointing at the downed ASIMON 😂

With this kit of hydro MC and Fontaine giving more attention to normal attack, there is a high chance that Furina will be an on-field dps character instead of a support one like the previous archons.

So i e been running her with the new craftable sword, the new baguette set, and kuki, layla, and lisa. The constant drop and raise of hp causes her to gain a ton of atk especially when kukia healing eats the life bond, probably no where near top tier but shes a maching gun emplacement that applies hydro hor stars to freeze , which then get procced by kukis heal, and lisas burst for a death field.

Been waiting for Sevy's video but you'll do.

Hydro traveler really just unleashes vegeta's desperate barrage attack whenever

I’ve actually been really enjoying the hydro traveler. Been using her with Nahida and Raider. With Hat guy just for exploration. Tbf I have been using the Mistsplitter reforged though. With vourukasha 4-piece

my current team for hydro MC is mc/nahida/raiden/layla as a sort of fridge/hyperbloom setup with MC as the point character, with sacrificial sword for the GREATLY increased uptime on skill (for more hydro applications via hold skill) all 4 basically attack for free either as a rider on the MC's skill hits (nahida/raiden) or over time (layla), making for a rather comfy (if not super optimal) playstyle of turning genshin into a third-person shooter. rotation goes nahida skill-ult>raiden skill>layla skill-ult>MC ult-skill (hold), and just keep spamming the hold skill until you need to reapply buffs or ults. raiden is built for EM (inazuma spear/4pc gilded) since she's intended to proc the superconducts, i'm considering having nahida use the prototype catalyst for some additional healing, since it's nonexistent on the team, and layla (favonius sword, 4pc milileth) cant exactly cover all the damage herself though her shield IS pretty beefy with HP investment.

lmao I love the thumbnail!

man. Mihoyo thought they gave too much power for Dendro Traveller that they made the Hydro MC shit as fook hahahahaha

I really appreciate content creators like you: who calculate the stats and experiment every single scenario. Your work and effort deserve every view and thumbs-up.

I was waiting for this video, because every video on HMC was saying how bad they were, and I couldn’t believe it until IWTL put out his video. Needed real confirmation and game setup. Now I don’t feel bad for not building her right now. 😅😅

Thanks for still making videos

Hoyo really do not want to see players using THE FRIKKIN MAIN CHARACTER, huh? After Dendro Traveler's strong performance, they'd like "We're not letting that happen again". Why? I don't understand it at all.

Imagine if her burst followed the enemy like a guided missile and then explode on impact causing huge damage

Hey there, If Any of you has C6 faruzan and does really like Hyro MC I Recommend him to be played in a Thunderstorm team with Hydro MC, faruzan C6, any electro off-field unit, and a Flex shielder is really dope. I tried Hydro MC with Fischl C6, altho MC skill doesn't count as consecutive attacks it still can work. The stagger from the skill of Hydro MC and the continuously grouping and swirl and CC without having to switch continuously is fun. I do recommend Layla for shield to make enemies stay in place by being freeze, swirls cc and electro charge.

2:23 wow bro. That's sheer poetry.

When you see that one of her constellation reduces the speed of her burst, you come to understand that hoyoverse knows her burst is shit and has to have a constellation to try and fix it. Constellation should be bonuses not fixes. But they always are fixes for 4 stars

I think Hydro MC is lacking in battle but great for exploring and doing story quests with solo MC for the immersion of the story, because Hydro MC have a complete kit in one character imo They can attack long range (sort of, using their skill), have puzzle solving ability (pneuma), & have shield and party heal (when full constellations) Its nice to have a character that can do it all so i dont need to bother changing characters every now and then

Love the mc guide 😊

You forgot mention a cool thing about hydro mc's is you can just go back to sumeru and change it to dendro mc.

You can also use her as hyperbloom sniper with EM Ei and Nahida. No need for her personal damage, all she need to do is make her enemies wet

"See! Hydro MC isnt all that bad! He can one cycle that robot drake boss!" *Hides all of the thousands of dollar equipment and c6 characters that made mc bustead

For traveler, I like to use the last nation's element against the new nation elements. Like start with anemo against geo area, geo against electro, electro against Sumeru area, denji against Fontaine, hydro against Natain and pyro in the last region.

I think Hydro MC shines as the Water application in a dendro-electro-dendro team where both dendros have off-field dendro app along side Raiden

Imagine being powercrept in a gacha game by yourself 💀💀 (dendro traveler vs hydro traveler)

HMC is really bad, but they're really fun! They're like Oz but Hydro, i personally run them with Nahida, EM Raiden, and Lynette. Sometimes i swap Lynette with Zhongli when i fight bosses.

its clear that the MC was desinged for that one new artefact set, not just for a simple f2p 2pc glad and 2 pc hydro dmg combo, but the one that constantly buffs you whenever you lose health or gain health as you constantly lose health when you use your E and you gain health when you collect your created blue orbs from the E, plus with the constellations moves the Q slower, enabling it to hit more oftenly crowded targes, which is when you want to use it, when targets are crowded together, to hit them all as often as possible with a slower moving Q, especially with having placed up also support dps like Albedos Q for further mass aoe dmag Play HMC, Kazuha, Yelan, Jean, should make for a good combo, with them you have 3 characters in party with crowd control abilities, by pulling them together, gap closing and launching targets, so that you can unlpeash the HMC Q when they are all close together, while kazuha provides additional good aoe damage, yelan additilnal good single target damage and energy support for MC and with jean you a good healer with team support

Btw it is pnèvma ( e as in pet ) and ousìa ( ou as in cow goes moo) and i as in kiss The devs directly wrote it from Greek to English and that is why it is pneuma and not pnevma and ousia . When there is an "u" after "e" = "eu ευ " it is pronounced as ev or ef . Same with au ,αυ . And the oo sound in Greek ( moo) is written with ou , ου .

Usually traveller's playstyle is similar to archon of respect element. This time however, it seems the hydro traveler is more similar to Neuvillette playestyle than Furina.

One of the things I was really looking forward to was Hydro MC, but it's the worst kit so far 🤡

One thing to take note is that the water balls that MC drops with E is not a character-exclusive thing, future characters will have use of it.

I am sure hydro traveler will be better with constellations so I am building her rn. It’s So fun to play

Amazing how hoyo make bad decisions with genshin and good ones with honkais

So this really is the worst element for traveler!😂

I mean depending on C6 Traveler could be enough to fill the healer slot in certain encounters.. or feet his drops to someone else in the future to utilize :-X

You could MAYBE get a bit more damage running support Raiden, using her skill, and then Nahida’s skill with hydro MC. Then you’d be creating hyperbloom reactions potentially at a decent range. But…yeah that’s basically all the ideas I’ve got on boosting dmg.

I use Diona's shield and after that the normal hits cant stop you from using elemental skill but the cryo and bubble may stun you!

Now I want a character who uses a gun as core part of their kit, just aiming and shooting elemental projectiles or in a shotgun style, I imagine, would be so much fun. Maybe Clorinde will be that idk

Can you make a recommended weapon and artifacts video for her/him ? Wanna know how we should build her

Finally some evolution in genshin. Fo do long we only had 4 and 5 star characters. And now we have a one star character, fitting, given how in cannon they use a dull blade, a 1 star weapon.

The moment I DIVE into this video. I knew this video will be PUNtastic to watch. I can feel I'm DROWNING with knowledge.

That slow clap and Traveller stretched wider gets me every time 😂 And the music, I already missed Veluriyam Mirage already

lets not forget the Traveler's kit is a vague representation of the respective Arcon's so maybe some hints to pic apart. Maybe this is pure dps archon like how anemo traveler had that control tornado and electro had the ER ninja stars.

I could see HMC being practical if you could swap off HMC mid-fire and it will continue to fire with automatic targeting until the end while decreasing HMC's Hp. It would have also been better if HMC's burst stayed in place upon contact. HMC's dewdrop pellets shouldve had AoE so sniperbloom on higher constellations make sense

I even forgot we got new element MC at new regions before this video shows up , I stopped using him for long time

I saw a lot of video shitting on hydro MC but I’m enjoying the gameplay so far haha. I’ve using fridge team with mine, team composing of Layla, Raiden and Nahida

Yes this is what I thought too. Some sort of meta wich will make channeling usefull. Also something for charged attackers incoming thats pyro I think. Lyney/xiangling/kazuha/bennet is good, but that xiangling slot feels off. You want interruption resist. There is Dehya/Yanfei c4/Xinyan ofc, but idk..... It still feels off in a way.

love your videos and jokes bro. Cheers to more content videos in 4.O

interestingly, there's a mechanic(?) in H:SR also called "Dewdrop".

BRO WHATTTTT A WATER SHOOTER that looks fun but i already have my mc built as dendro and i need him to stay that way

Hello Sir IWinToLose Gaming, I have a question regarding Wanderer. I have C1 Faruzan and C1 mona but seeing both Mona & Faruzan provides huge dmg buffs. Who is actually better? Mona or Faruzan? my builds are really bad and with the limited resin, i am unable to build characters.

I have in fact thought of a utility, though it requires a final character to complete the build. And it's about an off field Pyro DPS that doesn't focus in melee combat. If we get such a character in the future, Hydro traveller would actually be one of the best drivers for that character on a Fireworks team. Because then we could finally have a team that can in fact make use of Overload's knockback as a positive thing. Since overload would potentially allow Hydro Traveller's burst to hit more than 3-8 times. All we would need is Yae Miko/Fischl, H.Traveller, that new pyro character, and any kind of support. Honestly we really need a new off-field Pyro character, one that doesn't work only at melee range

I'm a Traveler, main and, well, i won't deny up until now, Dendro MC and Geo MC are still the best options to go for. But as i said until now, who knows what 4.1 and 4.2 etc has in store for us. The damage is not good but isn't totally bad either is just very average. To me the 2 main things that kinda makes Hydro MC a bit unconfortable to use is, the 6 sec Hold of his Eskill his Constallation 6 (we don't have acces to it yet but will have in 4.1 most likely). As for why i see these things only as a problem is, because channeling his Eskill for 6 sec is too long for a just average damage, and C6 could had been a good and usefull Constallation to go for if it was able to heal the WHOLE party instead of 1 character, i mean the healing from it isn't crazy either Hydro traveler won't replace a true healer if he were to heal the full scale party, i can't understand what was Hoyoverse idea behind it... Solutions i could see (which will never happen probably) would be if Hoyoverse doubled the damage multiplier of the Dewdrops and reduced the 6 sec duration for a short 3 sec while of course adjusting the pneuse procs on it accordingly to fit these 3 secs everytime. The damage in numbers would remain the same, however, faster actions means in combat situations also a gain in dps thus then making is i guess good to use. As for C6, honestly Hoyoverse just need probably the press of 1 little button a keyboard to make it heal a full scale party with it, every source water heals for 6% HP of the party members it's healing sor it would be a nice 24% healing for everyone, it's not much but this would fit perfectly inside a Dehya party, or become usefull on Shielded teams against corrosion easely.

Believe it or not, because I think he's pretty cool, I wanna build him. I am gonna go 2 pc gold Troupe and 2 pc hydro dmg along with most likely the amenoma kageuchi. My plan is hyperbloom with Raiden and Yao Yao. Both apply their elements on their own, so doing hydro is perfect for traveler to proc. I could do kokomi, Thoma, Layla, zhongli, or kazuha/sucrose for the 4th. I'm doing Layla because of shield and even less interruption chance even though there is some cryo applic.

Haven't been to Fontaine because I didn't do Baizhu's quest on time. Whats pneuma and ocea?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? (Flat increase on hydro attacks) honestly, that would just be broken with Xq and Yelan so I kinda doubt it

Iwintolose im wondering if hu tao is the best pyro dps or is it lyney... it would be nice if you could do a showdown just an idea tho

Cant wait to see what the pyro traveler can do

I NEED a Lyney vs Yoimiya vs Hu Tao video

@IWinToLose try using sniperbloom which is Hydro Traveler , EM Raiden, Nahida, Shielder. this way hydro traveler procs raidens e and thus makes a op hyperbloom team.

Can't wait to grab a few more pneuma characters, mc is going right back to dendro

Isn’t Vorukasha’s Glow 4pc perfect for Hydro MC? The stackable 80% skill damage bonus isn’t a typo on that set right?

Hey Iwintolose, can you do a DPS showdown between Hu Tao and Lyney. I think that what the community wants to see the most right now

Question is hmc good 4th slot for hyperbloom? For example nahida kuki yelan hmc good synergy?
