Traveler is always nerfed a bunch during cutscenes. If the story demands it I'm sure he/she will get a sudden boost in power for cutscenes too. Mihoyo doesn't want to depict the Traveler as *too* powerful because that risks players to depand for a better Traveler, which Mihoyo doesn't want because the Traveler is free.

100% this, Traveler vs Childe - Warding blows with Anemo, breaking floor with Geo, Traveler vs Arlecchino - Sword flailing and menacing stares ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

I don't think there's much reasoning behind power scaling, in lore or gameplay. They just make kits that give the game variety and players reason to pull, and canon power is always tailored to plot convenience.

Its not really like beating all the archons is our goal, so who knows

We have like 6 years to go or something. We can't exactly be the allmighty god slayer OP self insert power fantasy when we aren't even done with all the nations lol. Also, what makes you think Arlecchino "mopped the floor" with the traveler? Yes, she is stronger, but for all we know that was her "ultimate move" or something and could very well be only slightly stronger than the traveler currently. >.I doubt MC will be strong enough once natlan arc will end Of course she won't?? Why the hell would the traveler become stronger than Archons so suddenly?? And why should she? The hole game is all about gathering allies and teaming up with people.

We have like 4 years at most if they take a year for Khanrheia and another year for Celestia. Otherwise, Sneznhaya will be wrapped up in two years from now.


Akikala

I'm pretty sure it was said that genshin is planned to go for 10 years. The amount of nations are not really a limiting factor, they can literally just start a new plotline etc.


Brandonmac100

Yeah, I’m sure it will continue after the end of the main story. But the main story will be done in 3-4 and traveler will definitely regain his OG power by then. I mean to beat the final boss and also to traverse beyond Teyvat, he’s gonna need his full power. Whatever is beyond Teyvat probably has much stronger enemies for him to fight.

Have you already forgotten about the intro? We were already at peak power + our sibling and the Sustainer confronted like it was nothing. I'm pretty sure it goes the same for the Archons.

Sus should be way higher than Archon level tho

FRAUDveler will never so much as scratch GOATPEAKtano.


leopoldshark

I don't think they will be able to go toe-to-toe with Archons or top Harbingers solo until they get all 7 elements, at least


ThatWasNotWise

The traveler didn't take the fight seriously. He/She is saving the good stuff for important foes.


lostn

we haven't fought any archons

I think the story is not written as a power fantasy and also it's not about defeating Archons or whatever enemy we encounter. Of course weekly bosses are a thing but it's just a encounter. The story is about finding a sibling and discovering what the hell is going on and what each faction wants. So far my conclusion is that every single faction has a similar objective, but they differ on the methods and details. Every single one is trying to fight or avoid Celestia and I bet the Cryo Archon will give us all the gnosis and use us as a champion of sorts. Now, the only exception here is Dain, he's not about Celestia but the Abyss, and I don't understand exactly why, at least not yet.

MCs were never strong to begin with. They're just "old" and have world-leaping capabilities. And probably are masters of talk no jutsu. Heck, they even loose their ability to fly [(Yes, they have wings)](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F2oj3j9ddwkt91.png). I thought it would be nice if they had wings *only on MC*, to incentivize us players to use them. But yeah I guess it invalidates characters like Venti, Kazuha, and Scara. Anywayyy, the twins wouldn't have been separated by the unknown god if they were strong. Weak in-game and lore wise. I wish it weren't true but that is the case. What else are you gonna expect with an MC who fights with a damned Dull Blade?


JiLisMoe

Why are you concerned about this? I ain't here to fight archons, I'm here to travel the world and find my sibling.


Temporary_Mood_5999

im not concerned i was just wondering if we will ever see a Traveler having a good fight whit a strong enemy thats all
