Genshin Impact has recently released the new Version 4.0 “As Light Rain falls Without Reason” with a new Version to kick-start off comes with new Abilities for our Main Character. The Hydro Traveler is a 5* Hydro Sword character who has a variety of build options to choose from depending on how you want to build them. They can either be a Support build that provides Hydro Application and other buffs to team-mates, a Hydro Damage dealer, or a Sub-DPS that focuses on an EM build for specific reactions. This guide will provide a detailed breakdown of the constellations for Hydro Traveler in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact: Hydro Traveler and their constellations
| Constellation Level | Description |
|---|---|
| C1 | Swelling Lake Picking up a Sourcewater Droplet will restore 2 Energy to the Traveler. Requires the Passive Talent “Spotless Waters.” |
| C2 | Turbulent Ripples Increases the Level of Aquacrest Saber by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C3 | Churning Whirlpool Increases the Level of Rising Waters by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C4 | Pouring Descent When using Aquacrest Saber, an Aquacrest Aegis that can absorb 10% of the Traveler’s Max HP in DMG will be created and will absorb Hydro DMG with 250% effectiveness. It will persist until the Traveler finishes using the skill. Once every 2s, after a Dewdrop hits an opponent, if the Traveler is being protected by Aquacrest Aegis, the DMG Absorption of the Aegis will be restored to 10% of the Traveler’s Max HP. If the Traveler is not presently being protected by an Aegis, one will be redeployed. |
| C5 | Churning Whirlpool Increases the Level of Rising Waters by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C6 | Tides of Justice When the Traveler picks up a Sourcewater Droplet, they will restore HP to a nearby party member with the lowest remaining HP percentage based on 6% of said member’s Max HP. |
Genshin Impact: Constellations breakdown for Hydro Traveler
C1: Swelling Lake
C1 makes the Soucewater Droplets restore Energy to the Hydro Traveler. It is a minor Quality of Life help with Energy Recharge needs assuming players decide on picking up the Droplets in the first place while playing Hydro Traveler.
C2: Trickling Purity
Constellation 2 will enable their Rising Water (which is their Elemental Burst Bubble that shows up) to move a lot slower and increase the duration for 3 more seconds. A potentially decent upgrade for the Hydro Traveler’s overall kit since its longer presence means there will more chances to apply Hydro onto enemies. The slower speed movement would mean that you would have better control of positioning enemies near it.
C3: Turbulent Ripples
This constellation adds three levels to their Elemental Skill, which is the biggest source of their DMG.
C4: Pouring Descent
Constellation 4 makes the Hydro Traveler’s Elemental Skill create a Hydro Shield that scales off of their Max HP. While hitting with the Dewdrops, it can regenerate the Shield every 2 seconds. This helps address Hydro Traveler’s overall problems of being vulnerable to damage and interruption while holding the Elemental Skill. However, it becomes irrelevant naturally if you are already using a Shield character on your team. Additionally, it might not be strong enough to prevent Interruption if the enemy can destroy the Shield and hit the Traveler in quick succession.
C5: Churning Whirlpool
This constellation increases their Elemental Burst level by 3. A decent improvement to increase Burst damage levels.
C6: Tides of Justice
The last Constellation enables the Sourcewater Droplets to restore HP to teammates with the current lowest HP. This enables the Traveler to initiate some team healing utility but the healing percentage will still be relatively low compared to actual dedicated Healers in the game.
Final Thoughts
Since the Hydro Traveler is our main character we can easily obtain their Constellations by doing Archon Quests, exploring and leveling up the Statue of the Seven, etc. As such players do not need to fret about which Constellation to go after or what not as eventually you will be able to unlock them all and reach their C6.
With saying that, from all the Constellations the best one that improves Hydro Traveler’s kit is Constellation 4 where it provides Shielding and helps with getting interrupted. Although overall, the Constellations do not provide any big improvements on their kits.
