How Strong Are Aether and Lumine in Genshin Impact Lore? [Character Discussion, Theory, Analysis]

[@Zero-qy2rf]

When an Archon is chosen, Celestia grants them the rights to rule over their respective elements. 'Gnosis' is the physical manifestation of this said 'rights'. The fact that the Travelers can access the elements without the Archons the permission means that they have the power to go against Celestia or in this case the rules that was set by Celestia. This means that the Travelers at their full power could rival the Archons or surpass them and maybe on par with the Gods in Celestia itself.

[@distressedbrain]

Depends. I see that the traveller are Gods tho, but not the ones in Celestia. This may depends on the story goes and if there is a happy ending or not

[@Object-show-lover-2763]

I feel like the travellers would be the weakest gods, considering that they could not beat the unknown god, but yet, as the Zongli story quest said. “Even a weak god surpasses a mortal in great ways” or sumthin. That means that the travellers at full power could like, poke childe and he would D I E

[@eduardotdot1987]

@@Object-show-lover-2763 we still don't know how powerful the unknown goddess is so we can't really measure the traveler's full strength when they fought and we probably won't know how strong they really are till we are near the end of tne game?

[@mitama2070]

@@Object-show-lover-2763 the Unknown God is the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles (天理/tian li) in Celestia, so she should be more powerful than the archons. I doubt the twins would be weak gods, consider that at their full power they could go against the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles without getting killed immediately, and they're both still alive, only get sealed for some time. Note that in the Teyvat Chapter trailer, the Hydro Archon loves to judge other Gods, but even she knows not to go against the Heavenly Principles. ("The God of Justice lives for the spectacle of the courtroom, seeking to judge all other gods. But even she knows not to make an enemy of the divine (天理/tian li)." - Dainsleif)

Traveler is a 6* hero when he restore his power

[@owohscorner]

In his voicelines he's able to actively gauge individuals' power level, like when Childe asked if he could defeat Zhongli. So he has to have some history of combat and some gauge to go off of, either his own or from the world he's been too. Also, a fine detail in many of the cinematics. The twin you play as(for me, Aether), never really seems scared. Childe, Osial, even Baal, we never really see them scared as if they're weak, they're mostly in awe or get caught off guard or surprised. Off guard by Childe's sneak attack, surprise at the emergence of Osial, surprise at Baal's attack. But never fear, never the thought of being weak.

[@Skyflyskyflyskyfly--]

I wonder if the traveler was scared when Venti was having his Gnosis stolen from him. They *did* yell a "VENTI!"

[@ChillwithAster]

thats a good catch! It's like theyre scared for others most of the time but not themselves, like they know THEY could handle it but they still are worried of other people

[@witchcandy3671]

Very true, I definitely agree with that. Aether has never shown fear beyond surprise.

[@darthophilesteinburg]

I don’t think Aether is weak, IMO what he lacks is experience. I wonder if they ever really had to fight before meeting the unknown god? Lumine currently is not only stronger than her brother due to having regained all of her old abilities (plus maybe amplified by abyss energy) but also more experienced than Aether.

[@va-v]

Reminder: In the aftermath of the Golden House battle against Tartaglia before he summons Osial with the Sigils of Permission, Childe says, "Your show of ability today far surpasses that of Signora's initial assessment of you in Mondstadt. Tell me, how could that be?" To which we get two options of unspoken dialogue, "(Because I'm collecting the powers of the seven elements...)" and "(Because I'm gradually restoring my former power...)" This subtle dialogue is often overlooked in my personal opinion because it doesn't feel like just a confirmation but a hint to something in the future.

[@Rexhunterj]

To me it implied that not only is the protagonist regaining their true powers (which Inazuma's conclusion helps confirm even more) but adding the power of all the elements to said power to become more powerful. It is likely that the sibling does not have the elemental powers and just her own natural power + abyssal magic.

[@_Dr_Fate]

Yeah but it’s kinda obvious too, they look way stronger and even have wings in the opening scenes but never have them in Teyvat

[@deathwingthedestroyer3632]

Knowing Aether as of now, he cannot lose to Lumine otherwise his friends and the people who look up to him will burn because of her conquest that is fuelled by hatred and anguish to burn Teyvat to the ground and for the abyss to engulf the thrones. Not mention the innocent people will be caught by her flames. Although as stated by Dainsleif that none shall escape the flames, the flames can be put out. Electro Aether would most likely be better than all of the battery characters since we can only activate his C3. Also I’d like to point out that Aether let go of his sword in the opening cutscene so his sword is either somewhere in Teyvat or The Unknown God has it. Also I found this on a website discussing superpowers and they it relates to Aether is kinda striking: Aether, a powerful and unique celestial element said to flow throughout the universe. Commonly recognized as the essence breathed by gods in the same way humans breathe air, Aether is a power that allows control over elemental, cosmic, spiritual, and transcendental forces. Regarded as divine power, users that can control Aether are considered god-like, essentially becoming virtually invincible. I have a feeling Aether is going to exceed or expectations by millions of light years. As a final note, when Aether and Lumine activated their original powers they summon three pairs of wings, there’s only one group of entities that I know that have three pairs of wings and they are called Seraphs or Seraphim, these beings are basically second to God in every way. Meaning that Aether and Lumine maybe Seraphs.

[@roco993]

Problem his powers are all sealed while lumines seems to have hers back. Until aether breaks his seal, lumine will thrash him Also the chance he’ll fight lumine is tiny as he only cares for his sister and would probably choose her over teyvat

[@deathwingthedestroyer3632]

@@roco993 Maybe but from what we have Aether is a very moral and compassionate person, just by seeing the suffering of the people he takes action and goes head first against the threat even if all odds are stacked against him. So there’s pretty much no way he’ll let her burn everything to the ground including the inhabitants and her desire of destruction and desolation is fuelled by her vengeance and at the time she woke, Teyvat was in chaos and she aligned her self with a nation of war whose principles were “the land is not to be tilled with farming tools but fought for with steel and blood”, whereas when Aether woke Teyvat was peaceful and thriving and met people from across the nations who where nice to him despite being an outlander and thus he formed new friendships whereas Lumine didn’t really have any.

[@Touriquette]

@Deathwing the Destroyer If we're are going down the angelic reference angle its unlucky they are Seraph, among God's council they are the cheer squad spending all of their time praising God in his eternal choir. Their not Cherubim, 4 wings, they are the angelic guards of heaven. Dominations are angelic middle management. Virtues are literal forces of nature. Powers are angelic soldier against evil. Principalities are guides and adviser to humanity. Archangels and regular angels are basically human plus a bit of divinity. Considering the amount of wings and that they are Travelers they are most like the type of angels known as Thones, they also have 6 wings. The messengers of angels, meant to inform the rest of their duties. They are the eldest angels that God (Us?) acts through, where the Travelers (avatars) discharge their orders.

Inazuma spoilers It seems like Traveller, who defeated a fatui harbinger with only two elements unlocked, is vastly weaker than a fully powered Archon even with a third additional element in their arsenal. This could change pending the end of the Inazuma storyline, but Baal seems incredibly strong. She did a full on JJK domain on Traveller and completely overpowered them. I was disappointed that we didn't see our Traveller wielding multiple elements like they did against Childe, but there's still time for that to happen.

[@ChillwithAster]

I think The current traveler is definitely weaker than most of the bosses we see because we saw him struggling a lot against childe (despite the gameplay actually being less than 10 minutes and absolutely flooring childe F to pay respect) so it's no wonder that baal was absolutely flooring the Traveler. BUT hot damn when we *do* get to unlock the Traveler's true potential. Aiyahhh

But his burst is more like beidou's, rather than baal. also his elemental skill is completely unique. you could argue the battery thing, but baal is meant to be a burst sub dps with a sustained dps skill. traveler is a skill battery and a sustained sub dps.

I believe that the traveler, although he can control several elements, still does not know how to control them consciously at the same time. So far he has only been able to do it in a cinematic and he is the most surprised of all in the cinematic. I also believe that although there are currently only 7 elements in the game (although dendro for now only has an honorific presence) there is an 8th element linked to stellar power, the concept of dreams and the manipulation of reality. And all the powers of the abyss ( Dainsleif as the highest representative,) the original luminous powers of the brothers and the mysterious power of the unknown goddess come from this eighth element.

Mona mentions that her and her master that the vision isn’t very useful and the rarely use it, it’s like a trinket to them. Mona’s master is somehow able to give Mona the vision that used to be tied to herself yet is still to scary for Mona to go back to after reading the diary. Beidou defeated the sea dragon without a vision. Diluc seems to be from a clan blessed by the pyro archon and just seems stronger than most people. Noelle is basically one punch man, keaya’s vision looks off… his powers are very similar to abyss mages, (he even can teleport like they do) and he has connections to Kamari’ah where people didn’t need visions to manipulate elements, Klee just uses her vision as a fire starter, and has the ability to destroy mountains, albeado is also from kanneari’ah and has alchemy, similarly sucrose is able to make many creations such as her ult and e skill, yanfei and ganyu are half adeptus so they don’t need visions, I could go on but my point is while the visions are pretty useful, and many NPCs and people in teyvat make visions out to be the only source of power in their world that’s very clearly false I think that the visions are a bit ominous especially after reading Lisa’s story and more so with the sky is fake scarymoche and the effect of the vision hunt decree Also why did Mona’s master give hers away?

Small bit of detail, but one of the splash screen in the game says "Teyvat, Teyvat has its own 'laws'". There's a lot that you can assume out of this, whether it's the "The sky is fake" theory, or the fact that Aether and Lumine are strong enough to bypass the needs of Visions and the like, basically, being strong enough to break the "laws" of Teyvat, as alrd discussed.

[@kingalex9646]

One thing that wasn’t mentioned, within the final battle for Liyue Aether is able to use the blessings of multiple adepti without seeming to be negatively afflicted by them. Madame Ping states that because he seems strong in mind and body he would be able to handle the blessings from herself, Ganyu, and Xiao with Ganyu adding that having all three might hurt. However later on when presumably gaining blessings from all 6 adepti there in the cutscene of Aether piercing the Jade Chamber he has no visable pain on his face or mentions hurting at all. This may be wholly unnecessary to the discussion of how powerful the traveler is here’s my take on it, Adepti/Illuminated Beasts are essentially minor gods within Teyvat, being able to manipulate the elements without a vision and have enough power to not be simply considered elemental beings since they can have humanoid forms and also have human level sentience even without a humanoid form. While the Archons are the main gods of Teyvat, being able to use the power of their element without Vision or Gnosis with the Gnosis being a boost in power while Visions are something they give to mortals. Archons wouldn’t need extra power from any of what are essentially lesser beings powerful enough to bestow power to others, in a situation where they did need/want the extra power from Illuminated Beasts how many blessings would said Archon be able to take before they feel the pain of having slightly too many? Seeing that Aether is able to take at least 6 without it seeming to hurt shows that he is above regular people and maybe vision holders as they seem to be more durable than normal people in canon. Since there isn’t much evidence of people getting multiple blessings from Illuminated Beasts outside of Traveller that one time there isn’t much to say on this but it is an interesting thing to think about at least.

Also. We can't forget one of the strongest abilities the travelers have. Experience. Supposedly they are over 500 years old. That is a LONG time to live, and so much can be done in that time. As well as to pick up on skills and other handy tricks. Most of the cast comment on your prodigal ability to pick up on things and how different u are in pulling them out of their comfort zones in a good way. I believe this isn't just because of your skill but because u have lived 500 years u pick up on things much faster. Back to experience tho. 500 years is a lot of time to pick up on things like swordfighting and other tricks. Let's take a character most could be familiar with as an example. Wolverine. He's at least 100 years old, and was a traveler too. In that time he's picked up: sword fighting, ninjutsu, dozens of languages, piloting, wilderness survival, anatomy, driving, martial arts, rock climbing, cooking, and even various religions. That is a TON of skills. Imagine cultivating those for centuries while learning more. This worries me when it comes to Lumine. Why? Not only is she more experienced than us, but may have been TRAINING for at least 5 years to take us on. Using the elements she mastered and finding new ways to use them. Plus, she knows how we fight, and odds are has been working on countering us. Aethers advantage may be that while Lumine has been training, her opponents may not be as fearsome as his have been. Which has forced him to learn, grow, and adapt. As well as take skills from those he meets. The travelers are 1 of the most DANGEROUS characters in teyvat right now, and the story calls for them to be.

Something I noticed in a quest I did recently is that a samurai in Inazuma asks where the Traveler learned their sword-play, to which they give no answer beyond "I'm a traveler." This is after noting that they "fight strangely, and [their] bearing is far from normal." Their swordplay was likely learned in another world and they may even be self-taught with nothing but a very, _very,_ long time of experience.

[@BaselardFE]

Thank you so much for making videos on Aether and Lumine, I love them so much! Something I'd like to note is just how confident or perhaps comfortable they are with their strength.

[@Phantom_Zone]

"The keeper is fading away; the creator has not yet come. But the world shall burn no more, for you shall ascend." The first lines in the profile section of the Traveller. It conveys so much yet nothing at the same time.

[@rosal3755]

My interpretation is that Celestia is dying & that is causing directly and or indirectly some of the issues plaguing teyvat, the withering getting worse etc, The creator is either teyvats creator the twin’s creator maybe both though I’m leaning to it just being the travelers creator because if it’s teyvats creator then it would probably be the creator is yet to return unless Mihoyo is being sneaky with their word choice or the creator never actually visited the world it made but the world shall burn no more is almost certainly referring to the Traveler helping teyvat, fighting osial the fatui and just helping out in general the part about ascending is a bit obvious the Traveler is going to ascend to celestia and gain godhood if they aren’t already a god

[@witchcandy3671]

A very good lore video, you brought up many good points. There is one point of consideration I was hoping you'd get to but alas you did not. That point being the Xenos existence of Aether and Lumine, it isn't just about the power they can wield but rather the wisdom of all the time they gathered together travelling multiple worlds. (We never find out the exact reason for that either do we?) My point being is that Lumine seemed rather confident telling her brother what she did. So perhaps the question to ask is, when we finally finish our journey and learn the truth of the world then what happens when Aether decides to join his sister and the Abyss Order? Its not exactly like Barbatos or Morax are glad to tell us about all the humans they killed because the God's of Celestia ordered them to do so. They are the prison guards of Tehvat after all are they not? Also if you consider a Twin saying this it has even more bearing, just like the words, "We've always had enough time.." And when you consider Lumine didn't just come out and tell him she asked him to find out for himself it puts more weight on her confidence that he will obviously come to the same conclusions she did.

[@ChillwithAster]

Fascinating! It definitely would open up a door to a potential morality question the traveler would face in the end: after seeing the injustices in teyvat, is it worth keeping the world alive

I mean technically they have two versions of lore strength. Their old version and current version. Lumine still has her old strength. But aether even though still powerful has lost most of his power. So aether is probably the strongest amongst mortals (childe being the strongest harbinger) but still not as powerful as a archon (lost against the shogun). But the true power of lumine…. We will see

[@Sakuyamon]

Here is a fact you missed! Aether is actually an alchemical element! It is the 5th element also known as Quintenssence, which supposedly also is the unfiltered origin of all other elements and gods own power. In genshin it loops back too his sister too, as guess what? All the seven elements each have the seven colors of the rainbow, red, blue, turqoise, green, yellow, purple and cyan (ok fine, it dont match with the proper colors of the rainbow which is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, but thats not important). And what is a rainbow? Its refracted white light. Lumine is latin for light. Both of them are named after unfractured elements. And here is another interesting thing! Rainbows are an alchemical symbol of God! Further onto that...in many ancient religions, the rainbow is the bridge between the gods and earth. Funny how then that Lumine and Aether have acted like bridges between the gods and the humans. Also, I have to correct you, Kazuha was never harmed by his friends vision so dont go spreading that misinformation, please, please edit or anotate that part! If you look closely in previous shots, Kazuhas hand is already bandaged before his friend ever challenge Baal. It was most likely an animation error that the bandages were removed when he grabbed the vision or it was removed because it was too hard to animate the bandages. The fire of the shot is merely an illustration of how Kazuha speak of his friends dreams burning so bright.

[@ChillwithAster]

For the kazuha part, I am willing to give Mihoyo the benefit of the doubt that it was an animation error; the bandanges on his right arm are more provident in his character model (it covers his fingers), but because of what happened with Albedo and Diluc's character models, I don't doubt it. i also dont doubt that it was symbollc of his friend's ambition rather than raw elemental power.

@Sakuyamon I don’t think the part with Kazuha burning his hand is misinformation, its just a different interpretation. In his animation it was hard to tell bc in one scene before the duel he had bandages, but in a few others he didn’t. I personally think that the scene before the duel where he had bandages was an error as he was not the main focus of that scene, as it focused on his friend and Tenshukaku. In othere scenes where he was the main focus he didn’t have bandages, indicating that the vision did indeed burn him. Ik the burning is more of a metaphor, however I like to believe that it is both a metaphor and a reality.

[@Psycorde]

> his emergency food "Hey!" After diving deeper into the Genshin Impact lore, I've come to think that people of Teyvat should inherently be able to manipulate elements. But perhaps said elements were usurped by the force that stands above the Archons. They could be invaders from somewhere else, who knows. Which, if that's the case, begs the question - what purpose Archons, and by extension allogenes, serve? Perhaps Archons are needed to channel elemental energy to Celestia or something like that. Something restricts people of Teyvat from using elements, until they're basically given a permission to do so by being granted a Vision. Traveler could be different because whatever was done to the natives of Teyvat to render them powerless, couldn't be done to them. And speaking of Visions, I theorized that perhaps they aren't actually given to people, but exceptional individuals simply reclaim the power with their sheer will. An out there idea would be saying that perhaps it's a limited resource and that maybe Teyvat is leaking magic and would die if it isn't regulated. But too little is know about the Celestia to know for sure. Got all sorts of ideas but nothing to back them up.

[@ruen_me1361]

I’ve actually noticed that a lot of the vision users/playable characters have seemingly supernatural abilities and accomplished impressive feats without their visions. I’m think teyvat people must be pretty durable or at least most the the characters we know are. It’s already obvious but most of the characters don’t get most of their competence from the visions. Mona mentions that her and her master that the vision isn’t very useful and the rarely use it, it’s like a trinket to them. They use hydromancy instead. Mona’s master is somehow able to give Mona the vision that used to be tied to herself yet is still to scary for Mona to go back to after reading the diary. Beidou defeated the sea dragon without a vision. Diluc seems to be from a clan blessed by the pyro archon and just seems stronger than most people. Noelle is basically one punch man, keaya’s vision looks off… his powers are very similar to abyss mages, (he even can teleport like they do) and he has connections to Kamari’ah where people didn’t need visions to manipulate elements, Klee just uses her vision as a fire starter, and has the ability to destroy mountains, albeado is also from kanneari’ah and has alchemy, similarly sucrose is able to make many creations such as her ult and e skill, yanfei and ganyu are half adeptus so they don’t need visions, I could go on but my point is while the visions are pretty useful, and many NPCs and people in teyvat make visions out to be the only source of power in their world that’s very clearly false I think that the visions are a bit ominous especially after reading Lisa’s story and more so with the sky is fake scarymoche and the effect of the vision hunt decree Also why did Mona’s master give hers away? They actually seem like a huge vulnerability esp for characters who could already use elements and/or are very powerful Somehow after you get one it stored your ambition and memories which can then be taken from you, plus the souls of vision users end up in the last star of the constellation (fake sky rock pattern, I also think teyvat is dome shaped google firmament for more info) and whatever Lisa discovers about them made her become lazy and stop looking into in further because it terrified her I think traveler will eventually make everyone realize that the assumed laws of teyvat are kinda bs and that people don’t need to be given power from unknown gods

I liked the video, but some thoughts. Not sure if they're stronger than the Archons, as we didn't see much of their abilities but they're definitely far more powerful than any mortal and even some adepti. We'd need to see more to be sure on where they stand. About the Traveler wanting to leave that world... Well, it's very possible he was asking Lumine to do it with her own power. Or they might only be capable of doing it when they're together, but I'm leaning more towards him asking his sister to use her power to take them to another world. About Lumine's power. It's brief, but during We Will Be Reunited, her summoning her sword has a dark Abyss like light... As compared to the intro where the summoned blade was just brightly colored light when summoned. It's likely that, on top of having her original powers back, she has a further boost from the Abyss. I do love the idea if the swords they used in the intro being extensions of themselves rather than weapons they picked up. Vision Holders can materialize weapons too, but the Travelers have so much unknown about them and their swords are a huge mystery that they might be parts of them like their wings. Anyway, thanks for the video. Everyone seems to ignore the Travelers, while I'm fascinated by them.

Just to add context, Aether and Lumine are at the very least archon level, only the traveler and the archons have anthropomorphic constellations. And about the elements in Honkai there are two additional elements, imaginary and quantum, heed my words in genshin we will get at least 2 and at most 4, light (traveler), void/dark (unknown God), space (abyss and Dainslef) and time (Paimon)

[@Lopaloos]

Also, I don't think Lumine can manipulate the elements, just her light element, look at the color on her clothes, and possibly the abyssal one.

[@rexlapis1075]

Morax isn’t a normal archon actually he is far above a archon Or he was And even a weaker Zhongli the traveler just knew he was tremendously strong

[@sarahbosch9660]

Its great to get an Analysis of the Traveller for once! Xinyan might be most neglected from Mihoyo, but Traveller seems to be most neglected by the Fan Community. But the Twins are so interesting! Love the mood change at the End of the Video btw! XD

[@GAbO12547]

I have a feeling that you are onto something about how we seem to be at a really bad disadvantage when it comes to the abyss twin >.> also, it's nice to see someone with the same name as I :3

Y'know, I find it intriguing how this theory puts into insight Aether's ability to harness elemental energy, even though it's old and now has a bit more evidence against it (Ei's voice lines on visions), to me the reason Aether and Lumine can wield the elemental power is that nature abhors a vacuum. Aether and Lumine are aliens in the world of Teyvat, despite looking human. For all we know, they could be built differently from anything else in the world, that's also why they can channel more than one element. Take it like this, the way Aether and Lumine work is that if they have access to an energy, they can use it. Normally, they have their natural abilities, so they wouldn't be able to use anything, but since they no longer have access to their natural abilities, their bodies or souls are looking for alternatives for that lost power. And since none of the elements quite fit their original ability, the Traveller can absorb as many as he wants until the vacuum that is his original abilities is once again filled.

[@birbman5186]

Things have taken a weird change with the addition of Baal. Spoilers in advance btw. During the Baal fight, this was the first time we've seen a character weaken Aether to such a state of nearly being subconscious. I also think it's interesting, on the other hand, because every other person that fought Baal literally died. Aether was the first survivor (or so I think anyways). This could be Aether's waking call to make him want to be stronger, because this is the first time he's been somewhat forced to seek help from others for shelter. I'm curious to see how things unfold in the next part of the storyline..

[@Rexhunterj]

Canonically it's also the first time he exhibited true ambition, Yae tells us up front that wanting to find our sibling isn't an ambition, it's a short-term goal. An ambition means a lot more than that and during the second fight Aether's ambition awakens, at least temporarily he desires an end to the vision hunt decree and begins to act as a conduit for all the vision wielders who had their visions taken from them. Something else that people aren't acknowledging from that fight is that briefly we see Teppei as the Traveller rises, Teppei was never acknowledged by the gods, his ambition wasn't strong enough apparently. His ambition was to end the vision hunt decree, so strong was his ambition that he used a delusion and in the end knowing he was about to die for what he did, he was at peace knowing that his friend, the Traveller would continue to fight in his place. For a brief moment we get to see Aether acknowledging Teppei's ambition when he has attained the power to defeat a god in battle, likely hinting at how strong we were during that fight. Also notice during that fight that while we had the elemental energies of all the visions assisting us, they were infused with golden heavenly light similar to how Aether and Lumine's abilities glowed during the opening cutscene, meaning some of the traveller's real power was awakened for this fight.

[@ventus7410]

The analogy you mentioned between Genshin Impact and D&D, specially a Cleric's Channel Divinity, made me wonder a lot. Hopefully with Inazuma arc we will be able to grasp more regarding the traveler's power; this might be the first ocassion he/she clashes with a god alone, without power aid and of such nature. Btw, loved your video design, ambience, clips and your voice changing tone. Thanks for the vid :DD.

[@WARPAINTandUnicorns]

I thought I would add that elemental being like the Adeptus don't need a their visions the same way the Archons don't need their Gnosis. They have a connection to those elemental powers but the Vision makes that connection stronger. Adeptus are gods or Demigods in terms of their divine powers compared to Monsters or Demons in the world of Teyvat. Xiao was fighting demons in the service of Morax saving him with his powers for many years before he heard Venti's song and received his Vision. The Travellers are on the level of Gods of Teyvat for sure!!!

[@exo-l3518]

The way you present things is genius; I was totally dragged into the story!

[@OguriOfMari]

Traveler also really skilled with sword play... i mean going toe to toe and beating abyss herald with his sword during cut-scene... and a freaking iron sword too... also before inazuma during the tournament... he also had 5k attack lol...

[@gamemaster9461]

love this the fact that someone talks about aether and lumine

[@uzumazin5099]

Let’s TRULY calculate on how strong the Traveler, born of the stars, really is! First, we’ll use his iconic cutscene weapon: the Dull Blade. The Dull Blade clashed with Ei’s Musou No Hitotachi. And Ei’s cleavage blade cleaved Yashiori Island in half, birthing the Musoujin Gorge. That’s right, the Traveler’s strength can destroy gosh-darn island! And that’s only his average strength now! The Traveler’s average strength was at an athletic level which is only to be amped up by the 6 Adepti to drop the Jade Chamber. That’s right! 6 Adepti just turned an athlete’s strength into a building breaker! And since he can draw Adeptal energy from 8 companions (and his house) in the Serenitea Pot and all companions have the same Adeptal energy level, it was more than enough to bring down the Jade Chamber! Lastly, we’ll multiply the Musou No Hitotachi feat with the Adeptal energy multiplier and the Traveler’s maximum strength was… Moon level! Our hero/heroine’s gonna give Moon Carver a run for his money. And we’re just at Chapter 2/8! How strong he would be at his/her journey’s end? We’ll have to find out!

[@DivineeTray]

Once i seen the MC use Both Geo and Anemo it really hit me how strong aether and lumine are they are the power from beyond its really crazy to think of the potential mihoyo has with this unit ofc i dont expect them to be busted but i hope one day we are able to wield the true power of lumine and aether

They were able to stand against the unknown God which is stronger than all 7 Archons combined soo they are probably a little bit stronger

[@abyandevadi1984]

in the end of story, he could use 8 element, the one of that is the Abyss Element

[@yharnamiyhill787]

I find the Traveler talent skill lore description interesting. The Traveler merely converses with Paimon about his current element. He wonders about the winds - then he is able to harness anemo. The siblings are extremely talented. (Also learning Teyvets language within 2 months by reading books)

[@akirandrake414]

The Traveler's are more then likely going pull something off. While the Abyss Twin may have gained the elements as well and has 500 years more experience. The Traveling Twin has been building connections to people and the Archons. I would not be surprised if those connections awoke some hidden power. Something the Abyss Twin doesn't have because they took the power by force.

[@loveloveaii]

Oooh this is very high quality, I can’t believe you only have 2000 subs. (And exactly 2000 at the time I watched the vid… coincidence? I think not) This looks and sounds like something a wayyy bigger channel would make! :D subscribed

The glowing patches on lumines outfit wich would usually change colours depending on what element the traveler was using are completely white. The white coulour signifies unity of all the colours aka elements or the unknown element of light/radiance.

please i main aether because i have a feeling he’s going to get way stronger. still have him as anemo though-

you can travel to Liyue through Dawn Winery to get to the Geo statue. i changed my traveler to Geo when i'm at AR8 i'm sad that it's not as easy to get Electro traveler tho since you have to wait AR30 to safely get to Inazuma

just wanna point out something about their original power's color being white if you use a prism to refract light it will split into rainbow (which most consider to be made with 7 colors) red-pyro orange-geo yellow(?)-dendro green(?)-anemo blue-cryo violet(?)-hydro purple-electro (?) for elements that dont exactly have the mentioned color, but are somewhat close enough

[@loftikuss]

I still like to think (because of all the hints) that Aether and Lumine are manufactured things out of the honkai-bubbleverse. They said teyvat means ark. project ark is of honkai seeing 2 shootingstars (sus lol) flying off, in honkai they monitored dvalin in monstadt and there is a weaopn being able to create bubble universes. its said teyvat is simply oneof them, if its true it means that teyvat is a tiny, weak place surrounded by much bigger energies. the 2 comets were sent off as project ark to find a place where the honkai won't work. now aether and lumine were in teyvat before the sustainer appeared. from the dainsleif quest to me it sounds like both travel around planets to find a "safe " spot to fully let humanity being revived and flourish, which is impossible if the honkai's on the planet so they travel around worlds until they find it. they went to teyvat and helped khaneriah people (they said they were there before) maybe TO trigger honkai or to test if it's there since honkai appears once humans become too strong and godlike. its mentioned in the quest that khanriah people have had huge machines beyond knowledge of the other nations, then the cataclyst (honkai) happened, don't you all findit weird? the twins stayed in teyvat until something bad happens then they fast try to leave the world in middle of war. why? because this planet is "useless" to them since the cataclyst (aka honkai) found this world too, so they wanted to move but the sustainer stopped them. sustainer has 1:1 HoV/Sirins eyes from honkai. mihoyo would never randomly pick THESE eyes if not connected. since sirin can invade other vessels and currently left even her vessel in honkai would make sense she appeared there too and the twins have to fight her. dont you also find it sus, we think they are nice travelers who make friends in teyvat and want to live there-fact is if you find lumine (when you play as aether) in dainsleif quest he IMMIDIATELY said to come with him and both leave this world. he didnt care for teyvat or its people, he was willing (and he even ignored paimon) to take his sister and leave to another world. to me its something a supernatural being with a clear mission and purpose is doing and not the typical "hero" helping people around. well lumine made him stay now by force. each time tho even now in the inazuma quests if someone says to him he should enjoy the journey itself there is a "..." option as answer. to me sounds like he STILL doesn't care and the most care is a forced fake care because lumine said he must make this journey. for short, i still think both are "made" to bear the honkai. because even normal gods cant bear it, you need to be a super super strong being to fight it. and their purpose is to find a world that is safe for humans. so usually the would have left if it wouldnt be for the sustainer (sirin) stopping them so now they will face the honkai instead of running. in the game description it says to aether he is an alien lifeform. it didnt say a space.HUMANoid. it said lifeform. means tthey maybe are a whole different thing tho In my personal headcannon tho it's much cooler to think lumine and aether are from a exstinct world/tribe WHICH was also a bubbleverse and their tribe is fll of these godlike people who have the purpose to produce more gods until they have god army to fight the will of honkai! xD so their world got eradicated by the honkai and now they flee to make another planet their own where its safe. my sister tho once said in her view aether and lumine are ONE entity. because in (was it chinese or japanese?) their names are yin and yang. yin and yang cant exist without each other (their constant yearning for each other) and are one light and darker side. lumine always indicates light while aether has dark clothes so she said what if they are like 2 sides of one person

Aether’s name in Chinese, (the original game language) is Kong while Lumine’s is Ying.

[@daememes8549]

I think there's a reason why the siblings easly lost againts the sustainer of the heavenly principles because It's the first time they met you can tell from Lumine asking the unknown God who she is that means they both never met her before even thought they been in teyvat before if the siblings now her they won't defeated so easly
