The live preview show clearly the Travele using the shield underwater. You think it will be a skill or just a reaction shield? Will he be able to use it on land as well??
For now, i believe it’s just part of the underwater exploration : maybe from a gadget or something you pick-up underwater.
Still, it could be interesting : traveller’s kits often have similarities with the archon of the same element. And we’re all wondering how they can make the hydro archon relevant, when we already have so many great hydro units. But there’s no hydro shielder yet…
If Focalors turns out to be a shielder with added utility or damage, i know who will get the last slot in my Raiden/Kokomi hyperbloom.
i also think its just an air bubble so to say
As the other poster said, it might just be an underwater mechanic. I think hydro traveler will be a healer of some sort
They could be trolling (purposely showing a reaction shield on traveller to spark speculation), but I want to believe it. Let’s just hope they’ll be decent
It would be too fun for the players, mihoyo would never let us enjoy it.
Cmon, dendro traveler was super fun to play. No one expected that either.
Dendro MC was good, but not exactly fun, yk? They’re definitely efficient and a good unit, but I (IMO) wouldn’t exactly call it fun. Geo MC for example is the opposite: kinda fun, but not exactly good (mostly because it’s Geo).
Dendro MC’s basically: battery with a tap on skill > circle impact Dendro enabling > more batterying. There’s not much versatility on how to build or how to play.
You could say that Dendro Tr helped having more fun with all the varios electro character, i enjoyed that very much.
Okay, that’s a good point tbh. I found myself enjoying Keqing again when Dendro MC was released. What I miss is having an incentive to be a “traveller main” :'(
of course you could tell by my pfp that I’m clearly biased
I’m curious how they develop the travelers hydro kit, but even more interested in how they do Focalors.
We already have such great (honestly OP) hydros, I feel like they will have to do something unique with the new archon. Something like a hydro grouper maybe, or new defensive capabilities? Who knows
