Key Takeaways
- Genshin Impact’s Pyro Traveler finally gets a detailed ability kit leak for Version 5.3.
- The Pyro Traveler’s overall kit might disappoint some fans.
- The Pyro Traveler’s potential synergy with Nightsoul mechanics and the Natlan Artifact Set is noteworthy.
While theorycrafters haven’t given it a crack just yet, the latest Genshin Impact leak provides players with an overview of the Pyro Traveler’s long-awaited ability kit. It’s safe to say that Genshin Impact players haven’t always been happy with the Traveler’s ability kits over the years. The Electro Traveler was considered lackluster by a vast majority of fans, and the Hydro Traveler was widely seen as a disaster. The only ability kit where the Traveler was allowed to shine ended up being Dendro, giving players a way to apply Dendro off-field at a generous pace.
The reason why the developers remain so hesitant to give the Traveler in Genshin Impact a powerful ability kit is rather simple: much like the starter characters of Mondstadt, the Traveler and their different ability kits are free and easily accessible to players. However, the Natlan era broke this pattern in a major way by withholding access to the Pyro Traveler until the Archon Quest was done. With the finale to Natlan’s story set for Version 5.3, the Pyro Traveler is finally prepared to make a playable debut.

Rumor: Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Mavuika’s Ability Kit
A recent leak from the latest beta build for Version 5.3 finally gives players a detailed overview of Mavuika’s ability kit in Genshin Impact.
The latest information was procured by Seele Leaks from the beta servers for Version 5.3, and it provides a detailed overview of the Pyro Traveler’s Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, and final Constellation. The leak warned people to temper their expectations for the Pyro Traveler in Genshin Impact, whose ability kit was a topic of much speculation following Natlan’s launch.
Pyro Traveler’s Leaked Ability Kit in Genshin Impact
Ascension: ATK
Elemental Skill:
- Short E: Summons a ring that deals Pyro damage to enemies within.
- The range is larger than Barbara’s, but smaller than Nilou’s.
- Long E: Applies an effect similar to the Skyward Atlas weapon, which seeks out nearby enemies to attack.
Elemental Burst:
- Deals damage and restores Nightsoul points to the party.
- The Nightsoul gauge affects the duration of the Elemental Skill’s effects.
Constellations:
- Gains Pyro infusion at C6.
While some Genshin Impact fans will likely be disappointed by the Pyro Traveler, there may be some potential to the ability kit. Having access to the Nightsoul mechanics in Genshin Impact, the Pyro Traveler can become a wielder of the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, and their Elemental Burst can restore Nightsoul points to other party members. This already establishes decent synergy with Mavuika, especially if the Pyro Archon assumes the role of a hypercarry in the team.
That being said, a more viable niche for the Pyro Traveler could be with Mualani in Genshin Impact. Being able to apply off-field Pyro while holding the new Natlan Artifact Set is a valuable role to fill, and it guarantees that the Pyro Traveler will have more worth than the Hydro counterpart from Fontaine. While the exact method of unlocking the Pyro Traveler remains unknown, Genshin Impact players speculate that they will be able to earn the six Constellations via the six Natlan tribes. Version 5.3 is set to launch on January 1, 2025.
