Pierce of the Ice Fog
Pierce of the Ice Fog
Elemental Skill
CD: 15s

Stabs at the opponent with the Traveler's weapon, which releases an ice-cold fog. This deals Cryo DMG to opponents up ahead and forms a Frostpierce Star next to the Traveler.

Frostpierce Star

  • Follows your party members around the field and periodically fires ice crystals at nearby opponents, dealing Cryo DMG.

    Radiance: Stellar-Conduct

    The Frostpierce Star will no longer fire ice crystals at opponents at intervals but will instead fire an ice crystal at opponents in a coordinated attack when the Traveler hits an opponent with a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, or Plunging Attack.

  • When an opponent is hit with an ice crystal, the Traveler gains 1 stack of Frostglow (max 8 stacks).
  • When not in combat, Frostglow expires after 30s.

Frostbound Javelin
Frostbound Javelin
Elemental Burst
CD: 15sEnergy Cost: 60

Generates ice javelins with the power of Cryo, then directs them at the enemy to deal multiple instances of Cryo DMG.

When cast, the Traveler consumes all existing stacks of Frostglow, which in turn increases the DMG dealt by this Elemental Burst. When 8 stacks of Frostglow are consumed, the number of DMG instances caused by the javelins is also increased.

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer

DMG from the current Elemental Burst is changed to Cryo DMG of the corresponding Stellar Glimmer reaction type.

Unleashing the Elemental Burst Frostbound Javelin consumes all of the Traveler's Frostglow stacks to increase the DMG dealt by the current Elemental Burst. If 8 stacks are consumed, the number of strikes in the Elemental Burst is also increased.
