Cryo Traveler's Talents
Normal Attack
Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
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.
You observed the formation of frost together with Paimon.
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.
Feel the keen edge of the icicles alongside Paimon.
The following special effect is granted when an ice crystal from a Frostpierce Star generated by the Traveler hits an opponent, or when the Traveler unleashes a Charged Attack: Freezing Ice after unlocking the Talent Deep Ice From Afar. Max 8 stacks.
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.
Cryo Traveler's Ascension Passive Talents
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct
When a Frostpierce Star is on the field, DMG from the Traveler's Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks are converted to Cryo DMG that cannot be overridden by another elemental infusion, and DMG dealt is also increased by 80% of the Traveler's ATK.
The Traveler's Elemental Mastery is increased by 8% of their ATK. Up to 160 Elemental Mastery can be gained in this way.
The Traveler will enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct or Radiance: Stellar Glimmer state for 8s when they are inside a Polestar Field or trigger a Stellar Swirl reaction respectively.
When a party member triggers a Superconduct or Cryo Swirl reaction, it becomes a Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl reaction instead, and the Base DMG of said reaction is also increased by 0.35% for every 100 points of the Traveler's ATK. A maximum 7% increase can be obtained in this way.
Cryo Traveler's Constellations
The Traveler regenerates 5 Elemental Energy when they deal Stellar Glimmer DMG. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s.
The active character's Elemental Mastery is increased by 60 for 5s when an opponent is hit by an ice crystal.
Additionally, when a character affected by the aforementioned effect triggers a Stellar reaction or deals Stellar Glimmer DMG, the Elemental Mastery boost described above will be increased to 120 for its duration.
Increases the Level of Frostbound Javelin by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
The duration of the Frostpierce Star is increased by 25%.
Increases the Level of Pierce of the Ice Fog by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
