Best Teams for Odette
Cryo Traveler Is Designed for Stellar Teams
| Team | Rating Description |
|---|---|
| ▼Premium Stellar-Conduct Traveler Team | ★★★★★ - Much like past Traveler versions, their Cryo kit has both Off-Field and On-Field viability. - They enable the team to convert Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct like other Stellar Linchpin characters, and should have bare minimum synergy with existing Stellar Reaction characters. - In this setup, they are played as the main DPS that uses the majority of the field time, but is complemented by other Stellar Sub-DPSes like Odette and Yae Miko. |
| ▼Stellar-Conduct Support Traveler Team | ★★★★☆ - Since Cryo Traveler can activate Stellar-Conduct, they can be flexed alongside buffed, non-Stellar Linchpin DPSes like Wriothesley or Cyno to gain access to their new passives or abilities that are gated behind being in the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state. - They can serve as a decent Odette substitute if you don't have or don't plan on getting her, but expect the DPS potential of this team to be a little worse since Odette is more than likely to provide stronger buffs and better personal damage as a limited character. |
| ▼F2P Stellar-Conduct Traveler Team | ★★★☆☆ - Cryo Traveler can be unlocked once you reach Snezhnaya, similar to all other Traveler variations. - If you are relatively new or do not have any characters that can be deployed as a Stellar-Conduct DPS, then Traveler is more than likely able to fill that role for you. |
| ▼Stellar Swirl Traveler Team | Rating TBA - In similar fashion to Odette, Cryo Traveler's abilities makes mention of a new Stellar Reaction: Stellar Swirl, which concerns Cryo reacting with Anemo and vice versa. - The damage potential of this team is yet to be determined due to it being a new reaction with unknown mechanics, so it is within expectation to see this team receive more updates as more information about Stellar Swirl is released and/or tested. |
Cryo Traveler is an accessible Stellar Reaction character that can be played as a Support for another teammate, as an enabler for Stellar Reactions, or as an On-Field DPS that deals direct Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl DMG.
Stellar-Conduct builds on Superconduct as the base reaction, requiring Electro and Cryo application, but flips its mechanics so that rather than dealing damage, Stellar-Conduct deploys a special area called the Polestar Field that gives Cryo and Electro DMG% to the party while simultaneously lowering the Physical RES of the enemies inside the field.
Remaining within the bounds of this field enables the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state for relevant characters, and depending on their abilities, this state grants each character specific buffs or advantages.
Note! | Cryo Traveler's abilities also bring up another Stellar reaction called Stellar Swirl, involving Cryo and Anemo. Not much is known about the reaction, so accurate teambuilding will only be possible once Version 7.0 goes live. |

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Cryo Traveler | Exaiphanes Blade └ A 5-star sword with a Traveler-exclusive passive that you can obtain for free in Version 7.0. Disenchantment in Deep Shadow x4Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery |
![]() Odette | Whitelake Frostfeather Disenchantment in Deep Shadow x4 or Heart of the Furnace x4 / Scarlet Proof x4 └ Either of these new Artifact sets that will release in the next version should be a supportive Stellar Reaction set. Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge or Elemental Mastery |
![]() Yae Miko | Kagura's Verity Disenchantment in Deep Shadow x4Main ATK% or Energy Recharge / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% or Energy Recharge 3. Elemental Mastery └ Remember to complete Yae Miko's Witch's Revelation quest to enable her adjustments and Stellar-Conduct buffs! |
![]() Alyosha | Symphonist of Scents└ Equip Favonius Lance if the team seems to be lacking Energy. Noblesse Oblige or Heart of the Furnace x4 / Scarlet Proof x4 └ Either of these new Artifact sets that will release in the next version should be a supportive Stellar Reaction set. Main ATK% / ATK% / ATK% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) Sub 1. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) 2. ATK% |
Note! | Stellar-Conduct follows the same reaction formula as Lunar Reactions. This means that regular elemental DMG% Goblets do not buff Stellar-Conduct like other reactions, which is why Stellar-Conduct damage-dealers want to have ATK% Goblets instead. |
|---|
This setup uses a teammate lineup that is very similar to other Stellar-Conduct DPSes, and this is due to Odette and Alyosha being released as Stellar Reaction supports and Miko being the current best Off-Field Electro character for this team.
Premium Stellar-Conduct Traveler Team Rotation
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start the rotation with Yae Miko. Use her Skill (x3). |
| 2 | Switch to Odette. Deploy her Skill (x2). |
| 3 | Swap to Alyosha. Do Skill followed by Burst. |
| 4 | Field the Traveler. Use their Skill to create a Frostpierce Star. Use a combination of Normal and Charged attacks to build Frostglow stacks. End the combo with Burst to consume all the stacks. |
| 5 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Alyosha | Qiqi Nicole Escoffier Beidou Diona Sucrose | - Like in other Stellar-Conduct teams, Alyosha has the possibility of being the most replaceable teammate in this lineup due to being a 4-star. - Any synergistic Off-Field character that provides desirable stats like ATK% and RES Shred should all be decent alternatives. |
Odette | Alyosha Qiqi Nicole Beidou Diona Sucrose Escoffier Rosaria | - Odette's personal damage is hard to replicate since she can deal direct Stellar-Conduct DMG with her Dance Double. - You can, however, make do with other Off-Field characters that will provide usable stat boosts or opt for teammates with decent Cryo application to gain more stacks for the Stellar Prism (which increases the damage dealt by Stellar-Conduct). |
Yae Miko | Beidou Fischl | - Yae Miko currently has no real competition for the Off-Field Electro slot in terms of raw DPS. This is due to her damage output being significant enough that she contributes around 30-40% of the total team DPS. - Miko is the only 5-star Electro character that got Stellar-Conduct buffs so this might be hinting at her being the intended best option as of the moment. - However, it is also likely that Beidou, who also received similar buffs, can be a passable but weaker Miko alternative if you do not have her or do not want to wish for her. - Other Off-Field Electro characters like Fischl should also be usable in this slot as Sandrone's Electro Sub-DPS, though expect the damage potential to be severely lacking when compared to a Stellar-Conduct team with Yae Miko. |
Stellar-Conduct Support Traveler Team
Note: All info is subject to change until the Cryo Traveler's official release.
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Cryo Traveler | Exaiphanes Blade └ A 5-star sword with a Traveler-exclusive passive that you can obtain for free in Version 7.0. Disenchantment in Deep Shadow x4Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery |

![]() Nicole | Angelos' Heptades 2-piece ATK% x2 2-piece ATK% x2 or Noblesse Oblige x4Main ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub 1. ATK% 2. Flat ATK |
Note! | Stellar-Conduct follows the same reaction formula as Lunar Reactions. This means that regular elemental DMG% Goblets do not buff Stellar-Conduct like other reactions, which is why Stellar-Conduct damage-dealers want to have ATK% Goblets instead. |
|---|
For Off-Field Cryo Traveler teams, they will most likely function as an Odette substitute for non-Stellar Linchpin DPSes that can deal direct Stellar-Conduct DMG, such as Wriothesely and Cyno.
Stellar-Conduct Support Traveler Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start the rotation with Nicole's Skill. No need to use Burst. |
| 2 | Swap to Yae Miko. Use her Skill (x3). |
| 3 | Switch to the Traveler. Deploy their Skill, perform at least one Charged Attack or Normal Attack. Use their Burst. |
| 4 | Swap to Wriothesley. Use his Skill to enter his Chilling Penalty state. Use Normal Attacks to lower his HP to the threshold needed to activate his special Charged Attack. Once you see the red indicator, hold his Normal Attack to use his special Charged Attack. Keep doing this until any of the key supports' abilities expire. └ One of Wriothesley's optimal combos should be: Skill → [ Normal Attack (x5) → Charged Attack ] x3 → Normal Attack (x2) |
| 5 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Nicole | Beidou Diona | - Replacing Nicole results is way less damage potential from this Wriothesley's team since her teamwide ATK% buff is currently unique to her. - Shielders with Stellar-Conduct synergy will be a little more favorable versus generic shielders, with an emphasis on Beidou and Diona who also received Witch's Revelation buff and have gotten relevant Stellar-Conduct buffs. |
Wriothesley | Sandrone Cyno Lohen | - The Cryo Traveler should have bare minimum synergy with the other Stellar-Conduct DPSes, so you can safely substitute Wriothesley for any of them. - Like Odette, Cryo Traveler can be played with a Cryo or Electro On-Field DPS that doesn't deal direct Stellar-Conduct DMG since they can still make use of and interact with the reaction's mechanics. This option is likely more serviceable if you have Yae Miko to contribute direct Stellar-Conduct DMG. |
Yae Miko | Beidou Fischl | - Yae Miko currently has no real competition for the Off-Field Electro slot in terms of raw DPS. This is due to her damage output being significant enough that she contributes around 30-40% of the total team DPS. - Miko is the only 5-star Electro character that got Stellar-Conduct buffs so this might be hinting at her being the intended best option as of the moment. - However, it is also likely that Beidou, who also received similar buffs, can be a serviceable Miko alternative if you do not have her or do not wish to wish for her. - Other Off-Field Electro characters like Fischl should also be usable in this slot as Wriothesley's Electro Sub-DPS, though expect the damage potential to be severely lacking when compared to a Stellar-Conduct team with Yae Miko. |
F2P Stellar-Conduct Traveler Team
Note: All info is subject to change until the Cryo Traveler's official release.
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Cryo Traveler | Exaiphanes Blade └ A 5-star sword with a Traveler-exclusive passive that you can obtain for free in Version 7.0. Disenchantment in Deep Shadow x4Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery |

![]() Alyosha | The Catch└ Equip Favonius Lance if you have it. Heart of the Furnace x4 / Scarlet Proof x4 └ Either of these new Artifact sets that will release in the next version should be a supportive Stellar Reaction set. Main ATK% / ATK% / ATK% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) Sub 1. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) 2. ATK% |
Note! | Stellar-Conduct follows the same reaction formula as Lunar Reactions. This means that regular elemental DMG% Goblets do not buff Stellar-Conduct like other reactions, which is why Stellar-Conduct damage-dealers want to have ATK% Goblets instead. |
|---|
Since Cryo Traveler is free, you can form a usable F2P Stellar-Conduct team with them alongside any Stellar Reaction Support and an Electro or Cryo Sub-DPS that you have access to.
F2P Stellar-Conduct Traveler Team Rotation
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start the rotation with Fischl. Use her Skill or Burst, whichever is currently available. |
| 2 | Swap to Beidou. Hold her Skill until maximum charge, then release. Use her Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Alyosha. Deploy his Skill, followed by his Burst. |
| 4 | Field the Traveler. Use their Skill to create a Frostpierce Star. Use a combination of Normal and Charged attacks to build Frostglow stacks. End the combo with Burst to consume all the stacks. |
| 5 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Alyosha | Qiqi Nicole Escoffier Beidou Diona Sucrose | - In terms of F2P availability, Alyosha is the only character that provides a Stellar-Conduct DMG% buff, not counting 5-stars. The next best alternative is Qiqi, who also has a similar buff and consolidates the healer role on the team as well. - Any synergistic Off-Field character that provides desirable stats like ATK% and RES Shred should also be a decent alternative. |
![]() Beidou | Odette Alyosha Qiqi Nicole Diona Sucrose Escoffier Rosaria | - Beidou functions as the secondary buffer once you equip her with a utility set like Noblesse Oblige. - If you have her C6, she will grant Electro and Cryo RES Shred. - You can flex other offensive supports you have available, such as Nicole for a teamwide ATK buff or RES Shredders with Cryo or Electro application like Escoffier. |
Fischl | Yae Miko Beidou Ororon | - Fischl fills the Sub-DPS role that Yae Miko takes on in the premium Stellar-Conduct teams. Unlike Miko, she doesn't deal direct Stellar-Conduct DMG, but Cryo Traveler's On-Field playstyle does warrant usage of Normal Attacks, which can trigger her 'Begone Thy Sinful Hex' passive. - While it isn't as good as Miko's output, she is one of the stronger 4-star Electro Sub-DPSes. - Of course, if you do have Miko, she should be included in the lineup for better overall DPS. - Ororon or Beidou can fulfill the same function, but their damage potential is much less than Fischl's at base investment (C0). |
Stellar Swirl Traveler Team
Note: All info is based on assumptions/speculation. Things are likely subject to change until the Cryo Traveler's official release and more testing is done.
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats | |
|---|---|---|
![]() Cryo Traveler | Exaiphanes Blade └ A 5-star sword with a Traveler-exclusive passive that you can obtain for free in Version 7.0. Heart of the Furnace x4 / Scarlet Proof x4 └ Either of these new Artifact sets that will release in the next version might be a Stellar Swirl set. x4 Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery | |
![]() Odette | Whitelake Frostfeather Heart of the Furnace x4 or Scarlet Proof x4 └ Either of these new Artifact sets that will release in the next version should be a supportive Stellar Reaction set. Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge or Elemental Mastery | |
![]() Mizuki | Sunny Morning Sleep-in Viridescent Venerer x4 or Heart of the Furnace x4 / Scarlet Proof x4 └ Either of these new Artifact sets that will release in the next version might be a Stellar Swirl set. Main Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery or CRIT Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Elemental Mastery 3. Energy Recharge └ Remember to complete Mizuki's Witch's Revelation quest to enable her adjustments and Stellar-Conduct buffs! | |
![]() Sucrose | Sacrificial Fragments Instructor x4or Noblesse Oblige x4Main ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub 1. ATK% 2. Flat ATK |
Note! | Stellar-Conduct follows the same reaction formula as Lunar Reactions. This means that regular elemental DMG% Goblets do not buff Stellar-Conduct like other reactions. Since Swirl is mainly an Elemental Mastery-scaling reaction, there is a high likelihood that Stellar Swirl characters will mostly want to be built with EM. |
|---|
Version 7.0 will introduce Stellar Swirl as a new Stellar Reaction alongside Stellar-Conduct. Further mechanics about this reaction are unknown, but the recent livestream showcased its ability to create vortexes when triggered, much like how Stellar-Conduct creates the Polestar Field.
Since Mizuki is a recipient of a Witch's Revelation buff, it can be inferred that she might likely gain the ability to deal direct Stellar Swirl damage, so she is the most appropriate choice for On-Field DPS.
Stellar Swirl Traveler Team Rotation
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start the rotation with Odette's Skill. Use it again to allow the Dance Double to deal Stellar Swirl DMG. |
| 2 | Swap to the Traveler. Use their Skill. Perform at least one Charged Attack or Normal Attack, followed by their Burst. |
| 3 | Deploy Sucrose's Skill. |
| 4 | Swap to Mizuki. Use her Skill. Move around enemies to trigger Swirls until her Skill state expires. |
| 5 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Odette | Alyosha Qiqi Nicole Diona Sucrose Escoffier Rosaria | - Odette's personal damage is hard to replicate since she can deal direct Stellar DMG with her Dance Double. - You can, however, make do with other Off-Field characters that will provide usable stat boosts or opt for teammates with decent Cryo application or damage. |
Mizuki | Varka Wanderer Ifa Shikanoin Heizou Venti | - Until they release a dedicated Stellar Swirl DPS, Mizuki is projected to be the best option for the On-Field role. - The alternatives will most likely be Anemo characters that can trigger Swirl consistently. |
Sucrose | Qiqi Diona Lan Yan | - Sucrose's Elemental Mastery (EM) sharing has a high likelihood of being relevant in Stellar Swirl teams, but there is also a chance that she can be replaced by synergistic Stellar Reaction supports or other characters that can boost their team's EM, which can be made possible through the Instructor set. - A secondary Anemo character may also be pivotal for vortex generation if Stellar Swirl requires consistent Swirl triggers. |
