Best Build for Traveler (Electro) in Genshin Impact

Traveler is a decent Electro form that does some things better and some things worse than their other forms. The best hope you have of really squeezing every drop out of their abilities is by using them as a Sub DPS. Go with the Skyward Blade weapon as it increases the Traveler’s Burst DMG and provides faster recharge. Pair that with the Emblem of Severed Fate to really boost the energy recharge and Burst DMG further.
