Pyro Traveler Guide and Best Builds for Genshin Impact
The Pyro Traveler is Natlan's version of our traveler kit featuring their own Nightsoul Blessing state like other Natlan characters.
Pyro Traveler Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
Simple and easy to play.- C6 (when unlocked) grants a Pyro Infusion making reactions much easier.
- Able to hold Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City to buff the team.
Weaknesses
High Energy Recharge requirements.- Constellations locked behind Natlan reputation with not all constellations currently being available.
- Low damage as a result of poor scaling and low Pyro application.
Pyro Traveler Build Guide, Best Artifacts, Weapons and Talent Priority
At this moment in time, C6 The Sacred Flame Imperishable is unavailable which heavily limits a Main DPS build due to not having a Pyro Infusion yet. The below build is an off-field Sub DPS build while a Main DPS build will be added at a later date.

As a Sub DPS, your best weapons aim to help the overall team which is why Freedom-Sworn and Favonius Sword are their best options. Sacrificial Sword is another great alternative as it helps to resolve uptime issues on the Travelers Elemental Burst. Other weapons simply aim to ease the high Energy Recharge requirements that the Traveler has.
Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City is by far the best artifact set to use in most situations due to the buffs it grants the team. That being said Deepwood Memories is another good option in Burning teams.
As a SubDPS/Support you want around 210-240% Energy Recharge with the exact amount highly depending on your team. Aside from that, focus on CRIT Rate/DMG to increase your damage.
Combos and How to Play Pyro Traveler
The Pyro Traveler as a support is incredibly easy to play. Flowfire Blade is your Elemental Skill and how you apply Pyro while off-field. This skill has 2 variations that both generate the same amount of nightsoul (42):
- Tap - Periodically deals Pyro to nearby enemies.
- Hold - Deals Pyro in the form of Coordinated Attacks once every 3s.
Both drain nightsoul over time, whats best can depend but most of the time Hold will be your best option outside of Burgeon.
Outside of that, all you need to worry about is your Elemental Burst Plains Scorcher which deals AoE Pyro DMG but more importantly restores nightsoul. Because of that, you want to burst every rotation alongside your skill before swapping characters.
Pyro Traveler Best Team Comps
The Pyro Traveler can be a great F2P support option for teams that want additional Pyro application for example Burning and Overload teams.
Pyro Traveler Overload Teams
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raiden Shogun | Pyro Traveler | Chevreuse | Bennett |
| Clorinde | Pyro Traveler | Chevreuse | Fischl |
Overload teams are where the Pyro Traveler can be a great supportive option. Raiden Shogun has the best Electro application in the game allowing her to easily sustain Elemental Reactions while also providing Energy for the party. Another team example includes Clorinde instead as your Main DPS.
Pyro Traveler Burning Team
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Sub DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kinich | Pyro Traveler | Emilie | Bennett |
Another team comp example is a Burning team with Kinich being one of the best DPS for this reaction. This is also one of the situations where Traveler may consider using Deepwood Memories as uptime on the Scroll can be difficult and you generally want a teammate with Deepwood for the RES shred.

Pyro Traveler's Talents
| Type | Talent Name | Brief Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Normal Attack: Foreign Blaze |
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. |

When used, the Traveler gains 42 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state, summoning a Blazing Threshold that follows the current active character. When the Blazing Threshold gets close to opponents, it will deal Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG to nearby opponents at intervals. Hold Unleash fire in a composed manner, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Pyro DMG to nearby opponents. When used, the Traveler gains 42 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state, summoning a Scorching Threshold that follows the current active character. When the current active character within a Scorching Threshold deals DMG to opponents, the Threshold will launch a Coordinated Attack that deals Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG based on the Traveler's ATK. This effect can occur once every 3s. Nightsoul's Blessing: Traveler Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. The Traveler's Nightsoul's Blessing state lasts 12s at maximum, and when their Nightsoul points are exhausted, or if the skill is used again, this state will end. Blazing and Scorching Thresholds will disappear once the Traveler's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends, and only 1 Blazing or Scorching Threshold summoned by the Traveler themselves can exist at any one time. |
| Elemental Burst | Plains Scorcher |
Condense the flames into a mark, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Pyro DMG to opponents up ahead. Within the next 4s, the Traveler restores 7 Nightsoul points per second. |
The Pyro Traveler's Talent materials works differently compared to both other characters in Genshin as well as other Elements that the Traveler has that you can build. Unlike previous Traveler builds, Pyro Traveler uses an unlockable item called The Cornerstone of Stars and Flames which can be obtained from Archon Quests, World Quests and Tribal Chronicles. These are used after Talent Level 6.
The total costs to level a single talent to level 10 is:
| Source | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Mora | 1,625,500 Mora |
| Special Material | 1x Crown of Insight |
| Unique Material | 4x The Cornerstone of Stars and Flames |
| Domain Material |
|
| Enhancement Material |
|
Pyro Traveler's Constellations
Pyro Traveler's Constellations work differently to other characters. Firstly, the Traveler has a set of constellations from the Archon Quest to be used exclusively on a weekly boss battle (omitted here) and have no benefits in normal combat. Secondly, Pyro Traveler's Constellations are obtained with Blazing Flint Ore's from Trial Reputation in Natlan.
| # | Name | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Starfire's Flowing Light |
While Blazing Threshold or Scorching Threshold are active, the current active character deals 6% increased DMG. If said character is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, they will deal an additional 9% DMG. |
| C2 | Ever-Lit Candle | Within 12s of using the Elemental Skill Flowfire Blade, after nearby party members trigger Burning, Vaporize, Melt, Overloaded, Burgeon, a Pyro Swirl or a Pyro Crystallize reaction on an opponent, the Traveler will regain 14 Nightsoul points. Each use of Flowfire Blade will restore at most 28 Nightsoul points in this way. |
| C3 | Relayed Beacon | Increases the Level of Flowfire Blade by 3. |
| C4 | Ravaging Flame |
After using the Elemental Burst Plains Scorcher, the Traveler gains 20% Pyro DMG Bonus for 9s. |
| C5 | The Fire Inextinguishable | Increases the Level of Plains Scorcher by 3. |

While in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, the Traveler's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG that cannot be overridden, and the CRIT DMG of these attacks is increased by 40%. |
