Hydro Traveler is finally coming to Genshin Impact 4.0 alongside the new region Fontaine! Check out Hydro Traveler's Skills, Talents, Materials, and more here.

A persisting pattern from the start of Genshin Impact has always been the fact that the Traveler's skills have a certain mechanic similar to those belonging to the respective Archon. This has been true since Anemo Traveler and Venti, up until the Elemental synergy that both Dendro Traveler and Nahida possess. As the kit of the upcoming Hydro Archon is currently unknown, we can look to Hydro Traveler's for now to have an idea what the newest Archon would look like.
