Dendro Traveler in Genshin Impact [best build]🍃

Dendro Traveler in Genshin impact is the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ main character who, according to the developers, is able to use all game elements. In the squad, he can play the role of a secondary DD or take on the role of support to create reactions, and also become a “battery”. In any case, many players will need Dendro GG to solve riddles and puzzles in Sumeruuntil they get other heroes of that element.

In this guide, we will help you choose the best weapons and artifacts, tell you what stats you need to focus on, and also select the best unit builds for maximum efficiency. The article also contains everything about the work of skills and character leveling.

How to get Dendro Traveler in Genshin Impact

Traveler's Dendro can be obtained by touching Archon's statues in the region Sumeru, which can be accessed with teleporter in the Rift or after the start of the Archons mission "Through Smoke and Dark Woods".

The character's constellations are unlocked as you progress through the Sumeru main storyline, as well as when leveling the Dendro Archon Statue with Dendroculov.

Abilities Dendro Traveler

The main character is an excellent applicator and buffer. His E-shka allows you to cast Dendro on all nearby enemies, while the skill has a fairly fast cooldown of 8 seconds. Explosion of the elements Deals elemental damage in a certain area for 12 seconds, and when interacting with other elements, gains additional area of ​​effect, attack speed, and damage buffs.

Next, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the skills of the Dendro Traveler in more detail, and in what order it is better to pump them.

Basic skills (active skills)

• Alien Sickle (Normal/Charged/Drop Attack) 

Performs up to five sword swings during a normal attack.

When charged, makes two quick swings, expending stamina. Fall attack is standard for all one-handed swords.

This skill is not the main source of damage for the Traveler: it has low damage percentages and cannot be enhanced by either talents or constellations.

• Grass Blade (Elemental Skill)

Deals elemental damage to Dendro in a wide area in front of him.

Cooldown time: 8 seconds.

• Grass Bending Wind (Elemental Burst)

The Traveler creates a lantern that deals periodic Dendro damage to enemies in the area of ​​effect.

When exposed to the lamp elements Pyro, Hydro or electro an additional effect may occur, but only once during the entire duration of the lamp. The effect depends on the element:

• Hydro - increases area of ​​effect.
• Electro - Increases attack speed.
• Pyro - an explosion occurs with a one-time damage to Dendro in an area.

Duration: 12 seconds. Cooldown time: 20 seconds. Energy consumption: 80 units.

The order of pumping

The priority skill to improve is elemental explosion, since it is from him that the main damage comes and the imposition of a large amount of Dendro status on the opponent. The second is to pump elemental skill, which can be greatly enhanced by buffs and get good damage. Normal attacks can be ignored because they are almost never used and are of no use in combat.

Passive skills

Constellations

The best constellations of Dendro Traveler - С1, С2 и С4:

• The first constellation reduces the need for energy, allows you to put more emphasis on other characteristics in weapons and artifacts.
• The second increases the duration of the Elemental Burst, which is the main source of status, damage, and Elemental Mastery buff.
• The fourth one expands the hero's abilities as a support, increasing the MS of the character in the zone of his ult by 90 units.

Although the process of obtaining constellations is quite long, they are issued for free, so sooner or later they can be fully opened. However, if you do not want to spend a lot of time on this, we recommend stopping at the 4th.

Advantages and disadvantages of Dendro Traveler

Given the characteristics of the character, as well as the skills, constellations and passive talents he has, we can draw some conclusions about his strengths and weaknesses.

Advantages:

• prolonged imposition of Dendro status over the area allows you to effectively show yourself in units from reactions;
• elemental burst has built-in mechanics that enhance this ability when interacting with Hydro, Electro and Pyro;
• good damage outside the battlefield;
• easy to manage and understand, so perfect for beginners;
• can take the position of a secondary damage dealer or support in any Dendro squad;
• all constellations can be obtained for free, while they expand the Traveler's potential as a group buffer.

Disadvantages:

• low own damage without Electro reactions;
• expensive elemental explosion (80 units of energy) requires a large amount of energy recovery for a comfortable game;
• infrequent application of Dendro status - every 2 hits for 2.8 seconds. When interacting with Electro - every 3 hits in 2.7 seconds;
• does not produce enough energy with its elemental skill;
• all constellations will become available only after the complete passage of the Sumeru storyline.

Consider the two main builds of Dendro Traveler - a minor damage dealer and support for creating reactions.

Minor dd

In this case, it is not advisable to place a full emphasis on the mastery of the elements, since the main task is not only to enhance interaction with the elements, but also increased own damage.

Best weapon

For reaction damage increase in Dendro Traveler's weapons, it is recommended to focus on MC, energy recovery is also useful for stable application of the ult. Cast minor dd it is necessary to increase various characteristics that increase damage, but since it is necessary to maintain a balance with HP, collecting energy for recharging is equally important.

number	Name	Rarity	Base stats	Passive Effects
1	Cleaving Mist	⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	Basic Attack 48 ~ 674 Critical Damage 9,6% ~ 44,1%	Mistbreaker Blade Elemental Damage Bonus +12%. The weapon is also imbued with the power of Mistbreaker Emblem - 1st, 2nd or 3rd level, which gives an additional 8%, 16% or 24% additional elemental damage, respectively. Mistbreaker Emblem charges are obtained by doing one of the following: inflicting elemental damage with a normal attack - duration 5 seconds; elemental explosion - duration 10 seconds. If the elemental energy of a character with an Emblem is below 100%, then the effect will work until it is fully restored. The duration of each Emblem is calculated individually. A very good weapon, so good that it is a pity to give it to the Traveler. But for maximum damage — this is the best possible option.
2	heavenly sword	⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	Basic Attack 46 ~ 608 Restore energy 12% ~ 55,1%	The fang that pierced the sky Increases crit chance. hit by 4%~8%. An elemental explosion awakens the power of the heavens, increasing movement and attack speed by 10%, and normal and charged attacks deal an additional 20%~40% damage on hit. All effects last 12 seconds. The weapon will look good on the Traveler due to its high base attack, energy regeneration, and extra crit. chance. The only negative: the passive ability for additional damage only works on normal and charged attacks, and does not affect the elemental skill and elemental explosion.
3	Freedom-Sworn	⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	Basic Attack 46 ~ 608 Elemental Mastery 43 ~ 198	Song of the Rebellion Damage is increased by 20-40%. Creating an elemental reaction grants a Talisman of Inspiration once every 0,5 seconds (even when the character is inactive). When collecting 2 talismans, they disappear, granting the party members the Millennium Symphony: Hymn of Rebellion effect. This increases the damage of normal, charged and falling attacks by 16-32%, and the total attack power by 20-40%. New Talismans of Empowerment appear only 20 seconds after the effect is activated. This passive does not stack with other similar effects. Good weapon for support and sapp-dd. Great team buff. In addition, it gives almost 200 Elemental Mastery to the Traveler personally, which is equal to a bonus of 30% damage to elemental skill and 20% damage to ult.

Nearby allies gain 30% of this effect. If other members of the squad also have this weapon, the bonus is cumulative. This effect works even if the character is not on the battlefield. It combines 2 important elements for Dendro at once: increasing the mastery of the elements and restoring energy, thanks to which he will be able not only to deal more damage, but also to ult more often to impose a status on the area.
5	Sacrificial Sword	⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	Basic Attack 41 ~ 454 Restore energy 13,3% ~ 61,3%	Serene Elemental skill hits have a 40%~80% chance to restore their own cooldown. May occur once every 30~16 seconds. It gives a lot of recovery and the ability to use the elemental skill twice in a certain period of time, which is very useful. The more often an elemental skill is used, the more energy the character receives. And the more energy — the more often the elemental explosion is pressed, respectively, the more dendro status on the enemy and damage.
6	Iron Sting	⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	Basic Attack 42 ~ 510 Elemental Mastery 36 ~ 165	charged sting Elemental attacks increase all damage by 6-12% for 6 seconds. The effect stacks up to 2 times and only triggers once per second. Grants Elemental Mastery. In addition, the passive on the Traveler will work quite well.
7	wooden blade	⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	Basic Attack 44 ~ 565 Restore energy 6,7 ~ 30,6	Blessing of the Chalice The Burning, Stimulating, Escalating, Growth, Budding, Vegetation, and Blooming statuses create a Consciousness Seed near the character that lasts for 10 seconds. The Elemental Mastery of the character who picks it up is increased by 60 units for 12 sec. A consciousness seed can spawn every 20 sec.

Group examples

The hero perfectly copes with the role of a secondary damage dealer from his pocket. His goal is to help the team by dealing damage off the field to provide a reaction. Among the units for the Dendro Traveler, we highlight the following:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Nile	Nahida	Dendro gg	KokomiBarbara	Team through Budding with Neela, where she uses her passive to create Cores of Abundance. At the same time, the main condition for the talent to work is the presence of only Hydro and Dendro in the squad. The traveler fits perfectly into such a team. Kokomi / Barbara can close the reaction and heal in parallel if the explosion of the nuclei hits the character.
Cyno	Fischl	Dendro gg	Zhongli	Detachment from Sayno through Aggravation. Fischl helps replenish energy faster and deals additional damage, Dendro the Traveler inflicts a status and increases elemental mastery, Zhongli provides a shield and lowers the elemental resistance of enemies.
Cyno	Candace	Dendro gg	Kokomi	Alternative assembly through Vegetation. Kandakia increases the damage of normal elemental attacks during Saino's ult. Traveler casts Dendro on enemies and helps create cores with Kokomi. While Saino turns them into projectiles. In such a detachment, it is important for him to gather through the mastery of the elements.
Yae Miko	Dendro gg	Xingqiu	Dory	Squad through Vegetation. Dendro gg, together with Xingqiu, create nuclei, which, with the help of Electro, turn into projectiles. Depending on which Electro character closes the reaction, he will need to gather through elemental mastery.
Tartaglia	Xiangling	Dendro gg	Bennett	The standard group of Xiangling and Tartaglia, but we add the Traveler's dendro to it and the essence of the reactions changes. Now Budding and Blooming should work for us.
Ayato	Albedo	Sucrose	Dendro gg	The same overclocking skill, but now we spam the budding and play from the gap reaction. Ayato can be replaced with Tartaglia.
Ayato	Collei	Dendro gg	Thoma	Detachment through Bloom. Kollei and Dendro apply a status, Ayato creates cores and immediately detonates them with Touma's elemental explosion, which can cause periodic Pyro damage outside of the battlefield.
Klee	Albedo	Sucrose	Dendro gg	Accelerating mastery from external sources and playing through Burning with Klee.
Hu Tao	Ye Lan	Dendro gg	Zhongli	Team with Hu Tao through the Blossom reaction. For the duration of the stance, she will be able to use Ye Lan's pocket ult to trigger the Blossom effect. It is important not to forget to activate Zhongli's shield so as not to take damage from the bud explosion.
Tignari	Dendro gg	Xiangling	Bennett	Playing through Combustion + we have two resonances: Pyro (for a bonus to attack power) and Dendro (for an increase in mastery of the elements).
Beidou	Xingqiu	Dendro gg	Shinobu	A cheaper option to command through the Vegetation. Kuki Shinobu is easily replaced by Dory. At the same time, Dory herself can act both as a healer and as a DD.
Tignari	Sarah	Dendro gg	Zhongli	A group with Tignari as the main damage dealer and an attack power buff from Sarah. It also acts as a source of Electro status. If necessary, it can be replaced with Fischl for more frequent use of Electro.
Keqing	Raiden	Dendro gg	Jean	Team with Keqing to play through the escalation.
Keqing	Raiden	Dendro gg	Kokomi	We play through Vegetation. Raiden is here mainly to make it easier for team members to charge elemental blasts. It can be easily replaced by the same Fischl.

How to play Dendro Traveler

Dendro gg shows himself best in the role Support or second sub-DPS character in any Dendro team. At the same time, he is a fairly simple character, and playing for him is unlikely to cause any difficulties. His rotation in most cases is as follows:

1. If available, we activate third-party buffs for elemental mastery.
2. We switch to the main character and use the elemental skill to spawn energy particles.
3. Immediately after that, we use the explosion of the elements in order to have time to catch the Dendro spheres generated after using the skill.
4. If the Traveler is wearing Sacrificial Sword, and his passive ability worked - use the elemental skill again (can be skipped).
5. We switch to the characters of the necessary elements (Hydro, Electro or Pyro) - depending on what effect you want to achieve from the ult.
6. Move on to the main damage dealer and attack the rest, then repeat from step 1.

Сonclusion

Due to the long burst of elements, Traveler is a good Dendro applicator. It is perfect not only for beginners due to its accessibility and ease of use, but also for experienced players.
