How to Unlock Geo Traveler
A lot of people do not realize they can change their abilities to Geo set of skills. At the moment, the Traveler can only harness the Geo and Anemo skills. However, Genshin Impact’s creators aim to let the Traveler harness all the elements in Genshin Impact. To unlock the Traveler’s Geo abilities, you must go to the Geo Statue of Seven located in the Liyue region. The nearest Statue of Seven will be in the Bishui Plain in Liyue. Once you arrive at the statue, interact with it and press “Resonate with Geo.” After Resonating with the Statue, your Traveler’s skills will change into Geo. You cannot harness two elements at the same time. If you would like to switch back to the Anemo Traveler, you can interact with the Anemo Statue of Seven in the Mondstadt region. Press Resonate with Anemo when interacting with the statue, and you should get your Anemo Skills back.

Team Compositions
Geo-Focused
One of the teams that could work well with the Geo Traveler is having Ningguang as your main DPS. Some people think Ningguang does not work well as the primary damage dealer, but she is one of the best characters that deal burst damage when you upgrade her constellations. The Geo Focused team consists of Ningguang as the main DPS. You also have Fischl and the Geo Traveler as the Secondary DPS, and finally, Venti as your support and utility character. This team works well in boss fights and deals massive AoE damage. Having two Geo elemental characters in your team also gives you an Elemental Resonance, which increases your attack DMG by 15% whenever a shield protects you.
Cryo Team
This Cryo Team focuses on Chongyun as the main DPS. This Cryo team composes of Chongyun, Kaeya, Venti, and the Geo Traveler. The Geo Traveler and Kaeya will work as secondary support damage while having Venti as a utility and support character. The two Cryo characters increase your team’s CRIT Rate by 15% whenever they are affected by Cryo elements. The Geo boulders you summon could also work well in trapping your enemies if you pair them with Venti’s skill.
High Damage Team
This High Damage team uses Diluc as the main DPS. The other characters included in this team are Fischl and the Geo Traveler. Diluc is already a character that deals an insane amount of damage. However, pairing him with Xiangling or another Pyro character increases your team’s burst damage more. Having two Pyro characters create an Elemental Resonance that increases your ATK by 25%. Fischl acts as an enabler that provides you with many elemental reactions, and the Geo Traveler gives your party a buff from his Constellation level 1 skill.
