For some, playing as the Traveler can be tiresome and comes down to needing them in a battle versus wanting to use them. Others find the Traveler they picked at the beginning of Genshin Impact a fun and reliable character they always want in their party. Ultimately, it depends on how you’ve equipped your Traveler and how they fit within your chosen party.
