Talent Ice Fog PiercerIce Fog Piercer
Elemental Skill
  • Description
  • Attribute Scaling
Stabs at the opponent with the Traveler's weapon, which releases an ice-cold fog. This deals Cryo DMG to opponents up ahead and forms a Frostpierce Star next to the Traveler.

Frostpierce Star
  • Follows your party members around the field and periodically fires ice crystals at nearby opponents, dealing Cryo DMG.
    Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The Frostpierce Star will no longer fire ice crystals at opponents at intervals but will instead fire an ice crystal at opponents in a coordinated attack when the Traveler hits an opponent with a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, or Plunging Attack. This effect can trigger once every 0.2s.
  • When an opponent is hit with an ice crystal, the Traveler gains 1 stack of Frostglow (max 8 stacks).
  • When not in combat, Frostglow expires after 30s.
Talent Levels past 10 require Elemental Skill Level Increase methods, such as Constellations and Event bonuses.

Talent Frostbound JavelinFrostbound Javelin
Elemental Burst
  • Description
  • Attribute Scaling

Generates ice javelins with the power of Cryo, then directs them at the enemy to deal multiple instances of Cryo DMG.
When cast, the Traveler consumes all existing stacks of Frostglow, which in turn increases the DMG dealt by this Elemental Burst. When 8 stacks of Frostglow are consumed, the number of DMG instances caused by the javelins is also increased.

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: DMG from the current Elemental Burst is changed to Cryo DMG of the corresponding Stellar Glimmer reaction type.

Talent Levels past 10 require Elemental Burst Level Increase methods, such as Constellations and Event bonuses.

Talent Ever-Keen FrostEver-Keen Frost
1st Ascension Passive
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: When a Frostpierce Star is on the field, DMG from the Traveler's Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks are converted to Cryo DMG that cannot be overridden by another elemental infusion, and DMG dealt is also increased by 80% of the Traveler's ATK.
Talent Lucent IceLucent Ice
4th Ascension Passive
The Traveler's Elemental Mastery is increased by 8% of their ATK. Up to 160 Elemental Mastery can be gained in this way.
Talent Illusory FrostmirrorIllusory Frostmirror
Stellar Jubilee Passive
The Traveler will enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state when inside a Polestar Field, or the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state for 8s after a nearby party member triggers a Stellar Swirl reaction.
When a party member triggers a Superconduct or Cryo Swirl reaction, it becomes a Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl reaction instead, and the Base DMG of said reaction is also increased by 0.35% for every 100 points of the Traveler's ATK. A maximum 7% increase can be obtained in this way.
Talent Foreign PermafrostForeign Permafrost
Additional Talent
Draws new strength and power from their past travels: Every Elemental Type the Traveler has resonated with now grants an additional enhancement effect.

Additionally, when a nearby party member deals Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl DMG, the Traveler gains 1 stack of "Icepoint." 1 stack of Icepoint can be obtained in this way once every 2s, max 3 stacks. When the Traveler unleashes a Charged Attack at 3 stacks of Icepoint, all stacks are consumed to change the attack into a special Charged Attack: Freezing Ice.

Charged Attack: Freezing Ice
  • Cryo DMG dealt is increased by 140% of the Traveler's ATK, and the Traveler also gains 2 stacks of Frostglow.
  • Charged Attack: Freezing Ice can be unleashed once every 15s. Additionally, the DMG Bonus from the Ascension Talent "Ever-Keen Frost" does not apply to Charged Attack: Freezing Ice.
    Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: DMG from Charged Attack: Freezing Ice is instead considered Cryo DMG of the corresponding Stellar Glimmer reaction type.
