Traveler (Pyro)
The Natlan-era Pyro Traveler isn't the strongest main DPS in the game, but it's an extremely cheap Pyro sub-DPS/support pick since you already own the character for free. Prioritize the Skill since it's the main source of AoE damage, and the Burst is worth maxing too since it buffs the whole team. You don't need an expensive 5-star weapon: the 4-star Favonius Sword or Sacrificial Sword already carry the support role fine, and Freedom-Sworn is a nice bonus if you have it for an EM build. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City is the safest artifact pick for the support role, while a real damage build should switch to Crimson Witch of Flames. Since it's a free-to-play unit, don't hesitate to slot it in to fill a gap in your Pyro team.
