Genshin Impact Players Want Traveler Buffs and Customization Options
Genshin Impact enthusiasts are eager for significant enhancements and customization options for the Traveler character, who has explored the world of Teyvat as the game’s protagonist for several years. While the Traveler gains new powers with each region visited in Genshin Impact, players feel that the character’s combat potential has not been fully realized by HoYoverse.
Genshin Impact’s enigmatic protagonist finds themselves separated from their twin sibling and awakening in the Mondstadt region of Teyvat. While players can name the protagonist at the beginning of the game, most characters refer to them simply as the Traveler. After meeting Paimon while fishing for their next meal, the two characters quickly become friends. The beloved duo embarks on a journey through Mondstadt’s main town in search of clues about the Traveler’s missing sibling, leading them to various regions such as Liyue and Sumeru. Along the way, the Traveler’s eventful journey catches the attention of the Fatui and Abyss Order, mysterious antagonistic groups with connections to the protagonist’s sibling.
Players of Genshin Impact are longing for various improvements to the Traveler character, as well as new options for customization. According to the game’s official lore, the protagonist becomes significantly stronger with each acquired elemental power. However, the Traveler’s base stats and customization features have remained largely unchanged since the game’s release. Moreover, players must visit a Statue of the Seven to switch the Traveler’s element, as there is no option to do so in the pause menu. Reddit user Minette21 suggests that the Traveler should be able to utilize multiple elements during gameplay, as indicated by the main story cutscenes in Genshin Impact.
While characters like Lisa and Ayaka in Genshin Impact have received new costumes, the Traveler character has yet to receive any new outfits. Minette21 and other players are eager for customization options for the Traveler’s hair and attire, allowing them to personalize the main character according to their preferences. Reddit user NS401 proposes that HoYoverse introduce new Traveler outfits corresponding to each region explored by players so far. However, some players speculate that the Traveler may not receive buffs or outfits, as the development team seems to prioritize the introduction of entirely new characters.
Enhancements and customization options for the Traveler character could encourage more players to utilize the protagonist in events and end-game activities, such as the weekly Spiral Abyss domain. Additionally, an element-switching option in the pause menu would be beneficial in reducing the need for players to revisit Statues of the Seven in distant regions of Genshin Impact.
In version 4.0 of Genshin Impact, players will have the opportunity to explore the world of Teyvat even further as they travel to Fontaine for the first time. The main story will introduce new characters and the formidable Fatui Harbingers, and fans can look forward to a special program by HoYoverse in the near future for more exciting details.
Genshin Impact is currently available on Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A Nintendo Switch version is currently in development with no confirmed release date.
Genshin Impact’s mysterious protagonist is separated from their twin sibling and wakes up in Teyvat’s Mondstadt region. Although players give the protagonist a name at the very beginning of Genshin Impacta majority of the game’s characters simply refer to them as the Traveler. The Traveler meets Paimon after fishing for their next meal, and the two characters become friends in a relatively short span of time. Genshin Impact’s beloved duo heads into Mondstadt’s main town to find clues about the Traveler’s sibling, and the search takes them to various regions around the world, like Liyue and Sumeru. The Traveler’s eventful journey attracts the attention of the Fatui and Abyss Order, mysterious antagonistic groups that have ties to the protagonist’s sibling.
Genshin Impact players want several buffs to the Traveler and new customization options since official lore implies that the protagonist is getting substantially stronger with each element gained.

Additionally, players must head to a Statue of the Seven to switch the Traveler’s element since an element-switching option is not present in the pause menu. Reddit user Minette21 believes the Traveler should be able to use multiple elements in gameplay since Genshin Impact’s main story cutscenes imply that the character is able to switch elements seamlessly.
Genshin Impact characters Lisa and Ayaka received new costumes earlier this year, but the Traveler has yet to receive a new costume. Minette21 and fellow Genshin Impact players want hair and attire customization features for the Traveler since these new options would allow them to personalize the main character as they see fit. Reddit user NS401 suggests HoYoverse should introduce new Traveler outfits for each region players have explored thus far. However, many players believe the Traveler won’t receive buffs or outfits since the development team’s priority appears to be placed on all-new characters.
Buffs and customization options for the Traveler may encourage more Genshin Impact players to use the protagonist in events and end-game activities, including the weekly Spiral Abyss domain. An element-switching option in the pause menu may also be beneficial for Genshin Impact since it would reduce the need for players to revisit Statues of the Seven in faraway regions.
