This is because Dendro Traveler triggers more reactions than other travel apps.
Despite Collei’s good Dendro application, she is not a particularly remarkable option for most Dendro teams. She does work, however.
meta: Collei is a powerful mage who can use her magic to manipulate the elements.
Pros & Cons
Collei Strengths
Dendro Traveler is the only dedicated off-field Dendro applicator in-game.
Although Traveler often outshines Collei, she’s still a great option for this role – especially for a second team that needs Dendro or in overworld content.
Thanks to her consistent off-field Dendro application, she easily slots into most teams that need off-field Dendro. Her burst, skill, and passives make her a valuable asset on the field. ..
Dendro and Pyro units are currently a niche in Collei’s teams.
This is because Dendro Traveler is not optimal in these teams – their burst ends prematurely when affected by Pyro. So they’re unfavorable in most teams that use Pyro.
In contrast, the other three reactions only extend Collei’s burst duration.
Collei Weaknesses
The Collei has relatively high energy requirements because her field time is low.
This doesn’t let her catch a lot of energy particles to charge her burst. So she mostly relies on building enough Energy Recharge to get her burst every rotation.
200% Energy Recharge is a safe and comfortable amount to build, but this can be reduced further by using a Favonius Warbow or Sacrificial Bow on her. ..
Dendro Traveler consistently applies their Dendro skill more often during bursts. ..
The best option for every team except for the Burning and Burgeon teams is Pyro. They don’t work well with other players, but they’re great everywhere else.
The Traveler constellations are easy to get as you play the game.
The two rotations are generally different, but they have their own benefits and drawbacks. Collei is better for shorter team rotations, while Traveler is better for slightly longer rotations.
Are Collei’s Constellations Good?
The constellation Collei is a nice buff to her supportive abilities.
C2 is her best constellation thanks to its additional Dendro application and decent damage gain. So if you’re planning to pull for cons, C2 is a great place to stop.
The constellations are a way to get your stars in the game or pull from banners. Here’s a closer look at each one.
C1: Deepwood Patrol
When in the party and off-field, her Energy Recharge is increased by 25%.
C1 is a constellation that slightly decreases Collei’s energy requirements. It is said to be helpful in reducing the amount of energy needed to maintain one’s body.
C2: Through Hill and Copse
The passive ability of Collei, the new god of war, has been changed to “Floral Sidewinder.” ..
The Sprout effect grants the character a powerful ability that deals damage to nearby opponents. If any of your party members triggers a Dendro-related reaction, the Sprout effect will be extended by 3 seconds. ..
This Sprout effect can only be triggered once. If another Sprout effect is triggered during its initial duration, the initial Sprout will be removed.
The 1st ascension passive for Collei is required to take effect.
C3 is a constellation that Collei likes. It increases the off-field Dendro application Collei uses.
C3: Scent of Summer
Increases her elemental skill talent level by 3.
This is a small increase in Collei’s damage.
C4: Gift of the Woods
When casting your burst, nearby characters’ Elemental Mastery will increase by 60 for 12 seconds. ..
Buffing teammates is always a good thing, and this buff does just that. It’s always beneficial for the team as a whole. ..
C5: All Embers
Increases her elemental burst talent level by 3.
This is a great boost to Collei’s personal damage.
C6: Forest of Falling Arrows
When her skill hits, it creates a small Cuilein-Anbar that deals 200% of Collei’s ATK as Dendro damage. Each skill cast can only trigger this effect once.
This increases both Collei’s Dendro application and damage. It’s a nice constellation to have.
