Release3.0

Unlocked in Sumeru in version 3.0, the Dendro Traveler is one of the best free Dendro enablers. Their Burst, the Lea Lotus Lamp, applies Dendro off-field for 12 seconds and gives the active character Elemental Mastery, while their Skill deals solid damage. They make a great Deepwood Memories holder and fit Bloom, Hyperbloom and Quicken teams alike.

Teams

Recommended teams

Nilou Bloom

Hydro and Dendro only: the Traveler and Collei feed Nilou's Bountiful Cores, and the Cores charge Verdessence.

Hyperbloom

The Lamp and two Hydro units create Dendro Cores, which Kuki Shinobu turns into Hyperbloom seeds.

Keqing Aggravate

The Traveler holds Deepwood and keeps Quicken on enemies; Kuki heals and adds Electro.

Guide

How to play

How they work

  • Razorgrass Blade (Skill, 8s CD) sends a spray of leaves that deals Dendro DMG and generates particles.
  • Surgent Manifestation (Burst, 80 Energy) creates a Lea Lotus Lamp that deals continuous Dendro DMG. It can undergo one Lotuslight Transfiguration: Hydro enlarges its AoE, Electro speeds up its attacks, Pyro makes it explode early.
  • Verdant Overgrowth: every second, the Lamp gives the active character inside it +6 Elemental Mastery (up to +60).
  • Verdant Luxury: each point of the Traveler's EM increases Skill DMG by 0.15% and Burst DMG by 0.1%.
  • Foreign Verdalume: Dendro Cores appearing nearby, or the party gaining Verdant Dew, grant Blades of Verdant Viridis. At 3, the next Charged Attack becomes Verdessence: +80% ATK as Dendro DMG, plus two Vinecores that explode for 120% ATK each (15s cooldown).

Rotation

  1. Q to place the Lamp near enemies, then touch it with Hydro or Electro right away.
  2. E, swap to your other supports, and use E again before the rotation ends to catch the particles.
  3. Keep your active character inside the Lamp's area for the EM buff.

Never let Pyro hit the Lamp in Bloom or Hyperbloom teams: it would explode and stop applying Dendro.

Strengths

  • Strong off-field Dendro application from a free character
  • Great Deepwood Memories holder, freeing slots for your carries
  • EM buff for the active character, and a party Dendro DMG buff at C6
  • Flexible: Bloom, Hyperbloom, Quicken and Burgeon

Weaknesses

  • High Energy needs for an 80-cost Burst
  • Dendro application stops when the Lamp ends: longer rotations leave gaps
  • Stationary Lamp: mobile enemies can walk out of it
  • Outclassed by Nahida and Lauma in most premium teams
