Aether and Lumine redirect here. For non-Traveler versions, see Traveler's Sibling.
The Traveler is the playable protagonist of Genshin Impact. In the opening cutscene, twin siblings from another world travel through the universe, until an unknown god blocks their path. The player gets to choose either Aether (male) or Lumine (female) as the traveler and the Traveler's Sibling becomes captured.
Their power to travel is sealed, leaving them stranded on Teyvat. They save Paimon by fishing her out of the water and she accompanies them as their new travel companion. Together they set out on a journey to find The Seven and reunite with the Traveler's lost sibling.
Although players can choose the name they want to be referred by, the Traveler's Sibling refers to the Traveler by their real name, regardless of their custom name. In Natlan, the Traveler also gains the Ancient NameTMN ("TMN," Tumaini).
Base ATKBase ATKBase ATK does not include Base ATK values from other sources, such as Constellation Levels or an equipped Weapon. After using the Canned Knowledge "Swordfighting Techniques VIII", the Traveler's Base ATK is permanently increased by 3.

ATKATKCharacters unlock an additional attribute starting with Ascension Phase 2✦.
At the beginning of the game and in The Crux Clash in Chapter II: Prologue - Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves, the Traveler is "unaligned," a special elemental state exclusive to them. When unaligned, the color of the Traveler's "vision" and background when they are selected in the Character Menu is gray. Although the Traveler's Profile lists their Constellation properly as Viator/Viatrix, attempting to open the Constellation tab will show a blank screen with "Constellation Unavailable" in the bottom-right corner. When unaligned, the Traveler has only one talent, Normal Attack: Past Memories.
When unaligned, screens that show character cards with their elements show a gray "no" symbol (🚫︎) in the place of the element symbol.
Shortly after the beginning of the game, the Traveler will unlock their Anemo Talents and Constellation by resonating with the first Statue of The Seven in Mondstadt. They can resonate with any other Statue of The Seven they find and change their element to match the statue's element. See Teyvat for each region's element.
Passive Talent 1, Slitting Wind: "The last hit of a Normal Attack combo unleashes a wind blade, dealing 60% of ATK as Anemo DMG to all opponents in its path."
The wind blade created by Slitting Wind is considered Normal Attack damage, and thus can trigger weapon passives such as those belonging to Prototype Rancour and Mistsplitter Reforged.
Grasping the wind's might, you form a vortex of vacuum in your palm, causing continuous Anemo DMG to opponents in front of you. The vacuum vortex explodes when the skill duration ends, causing a greater amount of Anemo DMG over a larger area.
Elemental Absorption If the vortex comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional Elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.
When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 2Elemental Particles if it was pressed and 3.33 if it was held.
Only the final hit of this skill generates Elemental Particles.
The DMG multiplier of the absorbed element is 25% of the Anemo DMG multiplier.
When the skill button is held, Initial Cutting DMG ticks 2 times (at 0.35s and 0.5s), then it switches to Max Cutting DMG, which ticks 4 more times (at 0.85s, 1s, 1.35s and 1.5s).
When the skill button is pressed, it will immediately trigger Initial Storm DMG.
Elemental Absorption can occur from both elements on the target as well as elements afflicting the Traveler.
Unlike other Talents with Elemental Absorption, Anemo Traveler's absorption priority is Cryo / Frozen > Pyro > Hydro > Electro.
Passive Effects
Passive Talent 2, Second Wind: "Palm Vortex kills regenerate 2% HP for 5s. This effect can only occur once every 5s."
Constellation Effects
Constellation Level 1, Raging Vortex: "Palm Vortex pulls in opponents and objects within a 5m radius."
Guiding the path of the wind currents, you summon a forward-moving tornado that pulls objects and opponents towards itself, dealing continuous Anemo DMG.
Elemental Absorption If the tornado comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional Elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use.
Tornado DMG and Additional Elemental DMG can strike up to 9 times: once every 0.5 seconds from 2 to 6 seconds after activating Gust Surge.
Unlike other Talents with Elemental Absorption, Anemo Traveler's absorption priority is Cryo > Pyro > Hydro > Electro.
The tornado will continuously apply a Struggle state to enemies near it whose weight is less than or equal to 100, preventing them from performing any actions and allowing them to be lifted into the air by the Vacuum Field.
However, the Struggle state will not be applied to enemies more than 20 levels higher than Traveler.
Constellation Effects
Constellation Level 3, Sweeping Gust: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
Constellation Level 6, Intertwined Winds: "Targets who take DMG from Gust Surge have their Anemo RES decreased by 20%. If an Elemental Absorption occurred, then their RES towards the corresponding Element is also decreased by 20%."
Targets who take DMG from Gust Surge have their Anemo RES decreased by 20%. If an Elemental Absorption occurred, then their RES towards the corresponding Element is also decreased by 20%.
The RES decrease lasts for 10s after Gust Surge hits an opponent.
The collapse created by Frenzied Rockslide is considered Normal Attack damage, and thus can trigger weapon passives such as those belonging to Prototype Rancour and Mistsplitter Reforged.
You disgorge a meteorite from the depths of the earth, dealing AoE Geo DMG. The meteorite is considered a Geo Construct, and can be climbed or used to block attacks.
Constellation Level 2, Rockcore Meltdown: "When the meteorite created by Starfell Sword is destroyed, it will also explode, dealing additional AoE Geo DMG equal to the amount of damage dealt by Starfell Sword."
Energizing the Geo deep underground, you set off expanding shockwaves. Launches surrounding opponents back and deals AoE Geo DMG. A stone wall is erected at the edges of the shockwave. The stone wall is considered a Geo Construct, and may be used to block attacks.
There are 4 instances of Shockwave DMG.
The Geo Constructs created do not contribute to the 3 construct limit.
Constellation Level 3, Will of the Rock: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
Constellation Level 4, Reaction Force: "The shockwave triggered by Wake of Earth regenerates 5 Energy for every opponent hit. A maximum of 25 Energy can be regenerated in this manner at any one time."
Constellation Level 6, Everlasting Boulder: The stone wall from this talent lasts 5 seconds longer for a total of 20 seconds.
The area in which the CRIT Rate and Interruption Resistance buff is applied is independent of the Geo Constructs created by Wake of Earth and will persist even if all of the Geo Constructs are destroyed.
The CRIT Rate and Interruption Resistance buffs are applied to active characters within the radius of Wake of Earth every second, and persist for 2 seconds per application even if the character leaves the radius.
The CRIT Rate increase does not apply to the Elemental Burst that granted it.
When the meteorite created by Starfell Sword is destroyed, it will also explode, dealing additional AoE Geo DMG equal to the amount of damage dealt by Starfell Sword.
The meteorite explosion follows the default Internal Cooldown of 2.5 seconds/3 hits.
This ICD is shared with the Skill DMG of Starfell Sword.
The shockwave triggered by Wake of Earth regenerates 5 Energy for every opponent hit. A maximum of 25 Energy can be regenerated in this manner at any one time.
The energy regeneration is only for the Traveler, and once an enemy triggers this constellation's effect, they cannot trigger it again.

This talent can hit a theoretical maximum of 24 times. In practice, hitting more than 14 times is a feat.
Falling Thunder can trigger when hitting certain non-living targetable objects, such as Dendro Cores and Tri-Lakshana Creatures, and will restore Energy for the active character when doing so.

The buff applies to every third Falling Thunder attack.
The damage increase granted by this Constellation is a multiplicative increase to Falling Thunder DMG, separate from Damage Bonus, and does not affect Additive DMG.
