Pyro Traveler Changes in Genshin Impact 5.3

 

In the upcoming version 5.3 beta build of Genshin Impact, significant alterations have been made to the Pyro Traveler, particularly during encounters with the new weekly boss. Historically, the Traveler has seen varying degrees of effectiveness within the game. However, recent developments suggest that the gameplay dynamics for the Pyro element will undergo a notable transformation, especially with hints from Natlan.

 

Moreover, the introduction of these changes comes after a delay in the Pyro Traveler's release, alongside a complete overhaul in how players can obtain this elemental capability. In the upcoming version 5.3 of Genshin Impact , players can look forward to the introduction of the Pyro Traveler. This character will play a pivotal role in the confrontation against Xiuhcoatl during the climactic moments of Natlan's Archon quest. While the Pyro Traveler may not boast the same level of excitement as the well-loved Dendro Traveler, there are expectations for this character to serve as a reliable source of off-field Pyro damage. Additionally, the Pyro Traveler will have access to the new artifact sets exclusive to Natlan. A key feature of this character is the ability to restore Nightsoul points to other Natlan characters, enhancing synergy with allies such as Mavuika and Mualani.

 

The latest beta version has introduced notable changes, with significant buffs to the Pyro Traveler's abilities. As reported by homdgcat, these enhancements will activate specifically during battles with Xiuhcoatl, particularly in both story mode and trounce domain encounters. Due to the complexity of the buffs and the effort put into their balance by HoYoverse, some players speculate that these bonuses might be usable beyond the new trounce domain. However, this remains unconfirmed, so players should proceed with the assumption that the buffs are limited to encounters with the upcoming weekly boss.

Pyro Traveler's Constellations Overview:

 

C1: Starfire's Flowing Light

• When either the Blazing or Scorching Thresholds are active, the character currently in play receives a 6% damage boost. If this character benefits from Nightsoul's Blessing, an additional 6% damage increase is granted.
• While facing Xiuhcoatl and under the Blazing or Scorching Thresholds, the Traveler's attack power surges to 40% (up from 30%). Damage taken is reduced by 40% (previously 30%), and their capability to resist interruptions is enhanced.

 

C2: Ever-Lit Candle 

• After utilizing the elemental skill Flowfire Blade, the Traveler can recover 14 Nightsoul points within a 12-second window, provided that nearby allies trigger specific elemental reactions such as burning or vaporize on enemies. It's important to note that a maximum of 28 Nightsoul points can be restored through this mechanism with each activation of Flowfire Blade.
• While in the Nightsoul's Blessing state and facing Xiuhcoatl, any pyro damage dealt by the Traveler will reduce the target's pyro resistance by 20% for 6 seconds, an increase from the previous 15%. This effect can stack up to two times, with each stack calculated independently.

 

C3: Relayed Beacon 

• It enhances the Flowfire Blade skill, increasing its level by three, with the maximum upgrade limit set at 15. 
• When facing Xiuhcoatl, the Traveler will benefit from a 40% increase in pyro damage, up from the earlier 30%.

 

 

 

C4: Ravaging Flame

• It grants a 20% pyro damage bonus for 9 seconds after the Traveler executes the elemental burst Plains Scorcher. 
• During encounters with Xiuhcoatl, all nearby allies will heal for 40% of their maximum HP following the use of Plains Scorcher, an improvement from the previous 30% restoration. Additionally, within the subsequent 10 seconds, the Traveler will regenerate 4 energy per second.

 

C5: Unquenchable Flame

• Enhances the Plains Scorcher talent by 3 levels, reaching a maximum of 15.
• When engaged with Xiuhcoatl, the Traveler's critical hit rate is boosted to 20% (previously 15%), and critical damage rises to 40% (up from 30%).

 

C6: Imperishable Sacred Flame

• In the Nightsoul's Blessing state, the Traveler's normal, charged, and plunging attacks are converted to pyro damage aligned with Nightsoul, which cannot be overridden, with a critical damage increase of 40%.
• While in the Nightsoul's Blessing state against Xiuhcoatl, the Traveler benefits from a 20% increase in movement speed and a 30% reduction in stamina consumption. Additionally, normal and charged attacks will unleash a wave of flame, dealing 96% (previously 23%) of their attack as Nightsoul-aligned pyro damage to enemies in the wave's trajectory. 

 

 

 

These adjustments promise to enhance the Traveler's effectiveness in battles, particularly against specific bosses. In the latest developments for the Pyro Traveler in Genshin Impact , a notable alteration has been made concerning the elemental skill. The cooldown period has been significantly reduced, allowing players to utilize this skill more frequently. Now, instead of a lengthy 18-second cooldown, there's a reduced downtime of only 6 seconds. This adjustment enables a more seamless gameplay experience, particularly when paired with characters such as Mualani. As a bonus, the elemental skill inflicts pyro damage consistently every 3 seconds. This stands in contrast to Dehya's elemental skill, which relies on a coordinated attack rather than a continuous one.

 

As Genshin Impact gradually reveals details about Snezhnaya, it seems likely that only one elemental kit remains for the Traveler to acquire. Although the Hydro Traveler fell short of expectations after the Dendro Traveler's success, players are optimistic that the Pyro Traveler will justify the wait. While the ability kit resembles a 4-Star character in Genshin Impact, beta footage suggests that the Pyro Traveler will be valuable in Natlan teams. The release of Version 5.3 is scheduled for January 1, 2025.

 

Summary

This article discusses the major changes to Pyro Traveler in the latest beta version of Genshin Impact version 5.3, which only apply when fighting the new weekly boss. While the Pyro Traveler's launch has been somewhat delayed, and the method of obtaining elements has completely changed, its suite of abilities will be used against the Xiuhcoatl in the final chapter of Natlan's Archon Quest. The Pyro Traveler can not only provide off-field Pyro damage during combat, but can also restore Nightsoul points to other Natlan characters, setting up to have good and good effects with some specific characters. While some of the changes sparked controversy, the enhancements introduced were only instantiated during the battle against Xiuhcoatl, while how these enhancements were used in other situations was confirmed.
