The Cryo
Traveler is a free Stellar-Glimmer damage dealer with very high scaling, and their best-in-slot sword comes from the story, so the only real investment is artifacts. Outside Stellar-Glimmer teams they lose most of their value, they need the right elements to trigger Stellar reactions, and their ideal teammates are scarce:
Odette,
Yae Miko and
Alyosha, with
Beidou,
Qiqi or
Diona as stand-ins.
In Stellar-Swirl teams they move into a sub-DPS and support role.
Pairs well with:
Odette;
Yae Miko;
Alyosha;
Beidou;
Qiqi;
Diona.
