Traveler (Anemo)
Anemo Traveler is one of the cheapest, most comfortable RES shredders in the game since you already own a fully built free character. No need for a fancy weapon — the craftable 4-star Iron Sting is enough, so save your resources for a full 4pc Viridescent Venerer. Stack Elemental Mastery across the board to maximize swirl damage; ATK and CRIT barely matter. Build this one early, since almost any team can slot them in.
