Pyro the Traveler in Genshin Impact: Build Guide and Top Teams

Pyro Traveler in Genshin Impact is the main character belonging to the Pyro element, able to take the position of either a sub- or a main-DPS in their team. He applies Pyro status during normal attacks of allies, and when having some consts, he can deal significantly more damage or receive infusion for his attacks.

In this guide, we will take a look at how important the constellations for the Pyro MC are and how they change his possible positions in a team. One of the key features of the hero is his Pyro status, which is applied relatively often compared to other characters of the same element, so he can be used as an applicator.

Having arrived to a new territory, the Traveler fails to create resonance with the fire element in Natlan. On his way, he meets a girl from the Children of the Echoes tribe, Kachina, who tells him about the future pilgrimage and shares information on what this event actually is. The Traveler is again drawn into a whirlwind of events, including countless battles, secrets of the fallen empire and solution of the Abyss problem.

How to get the fire element

To unlock Pyro MC, you need to complete the 'Where All Hopes Lie' Archon quest in 'Chapter V: Act V - Incandescent Ode of Resurrection'. Later you will be able to obtain all the consts. Proceed to the Throne of Primal Fire and make an offering of Blazing Flint Oresyou've collected to unlock additional constellations and boost the hero.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Having analyzed all the passive and active abilities of Pyro Traveler, we can figure out the pros and cons of using the character. Based on the free constellations that can be obtained as you progress through the story, we can see striking differences from the previous versions of the main character and the existing heroes of Natlan:

The Best Pyro Traveler Builds in Genshin Impact

Pyro Traveler is a hero who provides Pyro status and gives buffs to the squad with his constellation effects. During the Nightsoul Blessing, the character should find the time to provide his squad with buffs and apply Pyro to the target using his elemental skill. To deal good damage to enemies, it is necessary to balance the critical mass (critical damage and hit chance) with artifacts, weapons and passive set effects.

In a team, Pyro MC at C6 is able to take the slot of the main damage dealer and use his normal attacks, but, regardless of buffs and equipment set, he will be significantly inferior to the similar heroes of epic rarity. In the following paragraphs, we will tell you how to build Pyro Traveler, what artifacts and weapons to chhose for him, and also indicate the stats he needs.

Recommended Stats

To deal more damage to targets, it is necessary to balance the values ​​of critical damage and chance, since critical hits are important both when using the skill and normal attacks in the main damage build. We recommend distributing the stats as follows:

Artifact	Main characteristic	Additional stats
Flower of Life	HP (fixed)	CRIT Rate CRIT DMG ATK% Energy recharge
Plume of Death	Attack Power (fixed)	CRIT DMG CRIT Rate Energy recharge
Sands of Eon	ATK% Energy Recharge%	ATK Energy recharge CRIT chance/damage
Goblet of Eonothem	Pyro Damage Bonus% ATK%	CRIT damage/chance Restoring energy ATK
Circlet of Logos	CRIT Rate CRIT DMG	CRIT damage/chance ATK% Energy recharge

The most favorable stats for Pyro Traveler are:

• ATK: 1 and more.
• CRIT Rate: min 60%.
• Crit. damage: 120% and more, depending on CRIT chance.
• Energy recharge: 190-210 without a second Pyro in the team, 170-180 for mono-Pyro teams and teams with one more ally of the same element.

To play in Burgeon teams, crits and attack power are not needed, it is enough to gain energy recovery and EM (450 and more). Despite the fairly frequent, in comparison to most other Pyro characters, applying Pyro from the pocket, Pyro MC almost does not trigger reactions, so even in Melt and Vaporize squads there is no point in him getting this stat.

Best Weapons

Pyro Traveler's weapons should be chosen based on the hero's role in the squad. For a sub-damager, it is worth choosing equipment for energy recharge team buffs. The main damage dealer's build should include critical mass (critical damage or chance) to help balance the stats. Less often, you can lean towards choosing an option for attack power or useful passive effects.

Teams

Pyro MC is better assigned to be a support, providing buffs and Pyro application for the main damage dealer. His Nightsoul mechanics makes it easier to deal with opponents from Natlan, who require having such a character in their squad. Can play well in many teams that need Pyro damage from the pocket to trigger subsequent reactions with other damage dealers.

The main damage dealer Pyro Traveler is more demanding and dependent on allies. He needs strong buffers and supports that can fully support the hero during damage and protect him from crushing attacks of opponents.

Optimal characters

Below we will list best allies for Pyro MC in various positions.

Damage dealers

Primary damage dealers for Pyro Traveler's team:

Character	Element	Weapon	The effect

Suitable commands

We will list various elemental squads for Pyro Traveler, where he can be either as a sub-DD or a main damage dealer.

Vaporize Teams

Teams playing off Vaporize, where Pyro MC can be useful:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	By recommendation
Mualani	Pyro MC	Kazuha Sucrose	Xilonen	Mualani team. Since the heroine has very slow attacks, Pyro Traveler will be able to completely cover her need for Pyro status for the reaction of Vaporize. Additionally, you can color Kazuha or Sukrose's ult Pyro, and Xilonen will give a bonus to all team elements through Crystallize.
Hu Tao	Xingqiu Furina	Pyro MC	Kazuha Xilonen	It is important to monitor Hu Tao's health level when playing with Xilonen, but Xilonen alone will let you deal maximum damage to targets due to cutting off resistances. If you add Kazuha, it is better to choose Xingqiu for the sake of healing and play carefully. Pyro MC is needed to boost Hu Tao and apply Pyro status for supports.
Arlecchino	Xingqiu Yelan	Pyro MC	Zhongli	Arlecchino uses additional attacks applied by the Pyro MC's E-attack at close range, dealing Vaporize damage to targets while Hydro status applied by the preferred hero is active.
Ayato	Xiangling	Pyro MC	Xilonen Zhongli	A team with huge AoE-damage. Thanks to Pyro MC, Xiangling will be able to restore energy faster to activate her elemental burst.
Neuvillette	Furina	Pyro MC	Baizhu Jean	This team has too much Hydro status to play Vaporize properly, but Traveler is still useful for buffing the active character and implementing Neuvillette's passive. It's better to get some healer for the last slot, but not of the Hydro or Pyro elements.
Mizuki	Mona	Furina	Pyro MC	Vaporize team with Mizuki for a driver. The heroine heals the squad and hits with Swirl over Hydro and Pyro status, reducing the resistance of enemies to both elements, while the skills of her sub-DD work from the pocket.
Pyro MC	Xingqiu Yelan	Kazuha Sucrose	Bennett	A team with constellated Traveler for the main damage dealer. To pull groups of enemies, it is better to use Kazuha. Bennett will give the MC the attack power he needs, and will also allow him to accumulate elemental burst faster.

Melt Teams

Sample teams with Cryo and Pyro elements to trigger reactions:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	By recommendation
Mavuika	Pyro MC	Xingqiu Yelan	Citlali	Buffs from Citlali will significantly increase the damage of Mavuika, Pyro MC and Hydro supports. Due to the presence of several Natlanians in the team, the Pyro Archon will be able to activate her ult really quickly.
Ayaka	Pyro MC	Shenhe	Bennett	All of the squad's buffs are aimed at boosting Ayaka and her constant weapon infusion. The teams has attack power increase by Bennett, damage increase and Cryo damage resistance reduction by Shenhe, and additional buff and application by Pyro Traveler.
Wriothesley	Pyro MC	Xiangling	Xilonen Zhongli	A squad with dual Pyro application from Xiangling and Traveler for Wriothesley, who has attacks with constant Cryo damage. Geo support will allow to strengthen both elements and provide the team with survivability.
Pyro MC	Kaeya	Xiangling	Bennett Diona	A squad with the main damage dealer Pyro Traveler. This setup deals area damage and attacks enemies with fire infusion on the weapon of the C6 main character.

Overloaded Squads

Squads with Electro and Pyro elements that deal explosive damage to targets:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	By recommendation
Arlecchino	Pyro MC	Fischl	Chevreuse	Without a shield for Arlecchino, you need to pay attention to the explosion of her elemental burst and the HP values. Chevreuse will be able to trigger reactions and reduce enemy resistance, but will not restore the damager's health due to the peculiarities of the mechanics. The advantage of one element in the team will allow you to quickly accumulate the ultimate on Arlecchino.
Raiden	Pyro MC	Kazuha	Bennett	An Overloaded squad with AoE-damage to targets and almost no need for energy recovery due to Raiden. Kazuha will be able to pull enemies together to apply status and trigger subsequent reactions.
Clorinde Keqing	Pyro MC	Yae Miko	Chevreuse	For such a mobile damage dealer a Clorinde, it is better to choose allies who impose effects either on her or summoned creatures and structures on the field. Chevreuse will act as a healer, as well as a debuffer and reactor, reducing the resistance of targets for the procs of allies' skills. Instead of Clorinde, you can take Keqing.
Pyro MC	Fischl Lisa	Dehya Xiangling	Bennett Chevreuse	An Overloaded squad for the Traveler with high damage dealt to low-level opponents. Constellations will benefit not only the MC himself, but also his squad members, whose damage will increase significantly.

Dendro reaction Teams

Teams using the Dendro element to activate Burgeon and Burning on targets. Almost all team members should be built for elemental mastery:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	By recommendation
Alhaitham	Pyro MC	Yelan Xingqiu	Baizhu Yaoyao	The team members immediately apply Pyro and Dendro to the target with their attacks, which, in combination with the cores created by Blooming, will allow you to play off the Burgeon reaction. Yelan has less Hydro status than Xingqiu C2 before she gets her C6 , but Alhaatham's personal damage with her is higher.
Kinich	Pyro MC	Emilie Xiangling	Bennett	When fighting at close range, Pyro MC will be able to refresh the Pyro status once every 3 seconds and extend Burning on enemies, as well as wear the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder Cityset. Kinich and Emilia deal Dendro damage, while Bennett closes the Pyro Resonance and ensures survivability.
Ayato	Pyro MC	Nahida	Baizhu Yaoyao	One more Burgeon option, but using Hydro damager as an active character. Elemental mastery buff by Nahida is not necessary here, since Ayato is playing on the field, and the main reaction is covered by Pyro MC, but the Dendro Archon will still contribute a huge share to the overall damage. The cores created by Dendro will quickly explode with the help of Pyro MC's E-attack.
Pyro MC	Nahida Fischl	Yelan Xingqiu	Bennett Baizhu	For the Pyro MC damage dealer to play in a Dendro team, you have to include at least one hero of the Dendro element, which will allow him to apply Burning on the enemy. Hydro applicators will be able to create Vaporize or cores depending on the order of casting. In the version with the Electro hero, the team will receive more explosive damage.

Mono-Pyro Teams

Teams where most of the heroes belong to one element. Many teams work better with the Traveler being C1 or C2:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	By recommendation
Arlecchino Hu Tao	Pyro MC	Kazuha Venti	Bennett Zhongli	Both damage dealers don't need HP restoration from Bennett, but will be happy with the attack power buff when using their ultimates. Zhongli won't buff attack, but will provide a safer game. Anemo support will easily boost the status applied by Pyro MC.
Lyney	Pyro MC	Dehya	Xilonen Zhongli	Mono-Pyro team for Lyney in case if you need to free up Xiangling and Bennett for another team. The dominance of one element will allow all members of the squad to quickly restore energy, and strong support will increase the overall damage.
Mavuika	Pyro MC	Citlali	Xilonen	Despite the presence of Citlali, the squad is more of a fire type due to the two Pyro damage dealers. Citlali's abilities will reduce resistance to Pyro, additional resistances will be cut by Xilonen. In this squad, Mavuika has an extremely fast activation of the ult due to the fact that all the characters are from Natlan.
Pyro MC	Xiangling	Kazuha Venti	Bennett	Roasting and semi-free squad for C6 Pyro MC. While the main hero deals the main damage through attacks on the field, Anemo support reduces resistance and groups enemies, Xiangling deals damage from the pocket.
Gaming	Pyro MC	Dehya	Xianyun	A plunging squad with with Gaming. Frequent elemental burst from the damage dealer will allow for explosive area damage. Xianyun will increase the damage of the plunging attacks, but she needs to gain as much energy recovery as possible.

Extra Stats For Leveling

The Traveler's leveling is distinguished by a special mechanic, where the hero retains his basic and additional stats obtained during the stages of ascension when switching elements. The main parameter that increases as you ascend is bonus attack power. The stat is imposed over the base attack power value, which increases along with the values of health and defense. You can find out more about all the parameters and bonuses in the table:

Skills

Pyro Traveler's skills invite to playing his as a secondary damage dealer and applicator, capable of performing joint attacks with an ally to cause reactions for targets. Similar to the heroes of Natlan, Pyro MC has the mechanic of Nightsoul, and is able to use Blessing and Burst, but not Transmission. Thus, his skillset lacks skills that make it easier to explore areas with phlogiston, but in combat he remains as effective as other heroes of the Pyro region.

Nightsoul Blessing is activated when you press the elemental skill and ends when all NS points are spent. To maintain stacks, you need to use elemental burstn and resort to activating your passive ability, which is very easy to do in any squad.

Basic (Active) Skills

Below we will list all the Pyro Traveler's abilities, both active and passive, that are often used in battle.

Foreign Blaze (Normal, Charged, Plunging Attack)

Source of damage: ATK

Normal attack: Performs up to 5 quick strikes on a target or group of enemies.

Charged Attack: spends stamina and performs two swings with the blade.

Plunging Attack: rapidly falls down and deals area damage upon landing.

Flowfire Blade (Elemental Skill)

Cooldown: 18 seconds

Source of damage: ATK

Max Nightsoul points (NS): 80

This skill transfers the character into the Nightsoul Blessing state and grants him 42 NS points.

Tap: Releases a burst of flame and summons a Blazing Threshold that will follow the active hero. When approaching enemies, it deals Pyro damage with the Nightsoul attribute based on attack power.

Hold: deals Pyro damage in an area with the Nightsoul attribute, affects all the enemies at close range and summons Scorching Threshold, which attaches to the active character. Together with the hero, it prforms a joint attack to the enemy, dealing Pyro damage with the Nightsoul attribute. Also spreads Pyro status at close range. The effect occurs once every 3 sec.

The Nightsoul Blessing state continuously consumes NS points for 12 seconds. When the character runs out of NS points, the effect fades. Only one copy of the summoned Blazing Threshold and Scorching Threshold can exist at a time and will disappear when the Blessing ends.

Plains Scorcher (Elemental Burst)

Cooldown: 18 seconds

Source of damage: ATK

Energy required: 70

Condense the flames into a mark and causes an explosion, dealing Pyro damage with the Nightsoul attrribute to enemies in front of the characyer. For the next 4 seconds after the explosion restores 7 Nightsoul point per second.

Talent Leveling Order

Elemental Skill (E) ≥ Elemental Burst (Q) > Basic Attack

The priority of leveling up Pyro Traveler's skills is the following:

1. Elemental Skill activates the Nightsoul Blessing state and summons an additional object for joint attacks at enemies with Pyro. Damage dealt increases with skill level. This ability in combat more often than the others.
2. Elemental Burst — the ultimate is equivalent to Pyro Traveler's E in terms of effectiveness, but is slightly inferior in terms of using it within a fight. You need to gain 70 energy and wait for 18 seconds every time, so without a second fire hero in the team and a high percentage of energy recharge, it will not be possible to use the elemental burst immediately when it is ready.
3. Basic attack is not used in the sub-dps role, but can be used in the main-dps build at C6 due to the Pyro infusion on the weapon. Until then, it is worth focusing on leveling other Traveler's skills.

Passive Skills

Pyro MC's passive skills are listed in the table:

Constellations

Pyro Traveler has two sets of constellations:

• the first one facilitates battles with the weekly boss Lord of Eroded Primal Fire;
• the second one increases the damage of Pyro MC himself as a game character.

In the game, the system looks like regular constellations with double descriptions. For convenience, we will divide the descriptions into two tables.

Consts for the boss fight

The table shows all the Pyro Traveler constellations for the boss fight. You don't need to make any offerings to unlock them, just complete the story. They are not used outside of Gosoythoth battles.

Game consts

Below are all the constellations that boost Pyro MC as a game unit. To get them, make an offering to the Throne of the Primal Fire (Capitano) and turn in Blazing Flint Ore. Please note that this can only be done with the Pyro Traveler.

Best constellation for Pyro MC are C1, C2, C3.

• The first constellation - the Pyro Traveler has a buff potential for both himself and his allies, which is assigned to Blazing Threshold or Scorching Threshold. The buff will increase if the hero is able to enter the Nightsoul Blessing state.
• The second constellation will restore valuable Nightsoul points needed to use Blazing or Scorching Threshold for longer. This boost will allow the skill to use its full 12-second limit when playing in any team that can trigger a reaction with the fire element. In a mono-Pyro squad, it will not be possible to receive a boost from this constellation if the team does not engage in combat with elemental enemies.
• The third one is aimed at increasing the level of the elemental skill that the Traveler uses most of the time in combat. Along with leveling the ability, the damage dealt by Blazing or Scorching Threshold will increase. The charged skill has more attack power scaling, so you should not forget about them when performing the rotation.

Activation sixth constellation is a prerequisite for building a Pyro Traveler main damage dealer. Without this const, which transform regular attacks into a fiery infusion, it is recommended to use the hero only as a sub-DPS.

How to Play Pyro Traveler

The Pyro Traveler can be played in two ways, taking the role of both the main damage dealer and the supporting character. The style of play practically does not change, except that at a certain stage, regular infused attacks are added. To do this, it is necessary to activate the sixth constellation of the Pyro MC, which can be obtained for completing missions and exploring the world of Natlan. Activating the Nightsoul Blessing with an elemental skill is a key mechanic for both the sub-DD and the main damage dealer.

Rotation

Skill Order: Elemental skill (E) for Pyro Traveler > going on with further team rotation > Elemental burst (Q) > switching to a damage dealer or going on with further team rotation.

Here's a detailed sample rotation for Pyro Traveler:

1. In elemental squads, it is important to start the rotation with Pyro MC. This way, in addition to extra attacks perfomed by Blazing or Scorching Threshold, valuable energy for the ultimate will be accumulated. With the first two constellations, it will be possible to get more benefit from the activation and a buff for the attacking ally.
2. Perform any reaction over an already applied Pyro status using attacks by sub-damage dealers and supports, according to the established team rotation.
3. Use Traveler's Elemental Burst to inflict a new Fire status to enemies and gain a chance to restore 28 Nightsoul points to maintain the Blessing state.
4. Go on with the team rotation until the Pyro MC's skill is restored (18 seconds). If the hero is playing as the team's main damage dealer, provided that C6 is available, use normal attacks with Pyro Infusion.

Character Summary

Pyro Traveler in Genshin Impact is a sub-damage dealer and an applicator, who performs joint attacks with the main DPS of the team. Having obtained his constellations, the hero can act as a buffer and increase combat potential of allies. One noticeable advantage over other characters is his availability as a combat unit, because to get the MC you do not need to spend wishes in the event banner, but just finish story chapters. The Traveler has the mechanics of Nightsoul, which allows you to enter into favorable battles with opponents from Natlan, obliging you to have at least one hero in the team with such a status.

Thanks to the abundance of reactions in his passive skill, Pyro MC can be a good addition to any team as a combat unit. Despite the high cooldown of abilities, Pyro Traveler effectively closes reactions and carries out additional attacks together with the main damage dealer. The only real disadvantage is his low damage even at C6. The hero can play in the open world, but will feel the lack of DPS on targets in the Twisted Abyss, the Imaginarium Theater or in battles with local legends, sometimes losing even to epic heroes in the same position.
