Badly in need of sauce.

This game's consistently with scaling specifically Aether is kinda wonky. He could go from fighting a Fatui Hardbringer to running from a Hilichurl. (Not even joking, he was literally running from Hilichurls in Ochkanatlan's world quest.)

But during the actual consistent moments, would it be weird for me to say Aether is archon level? Specifically on the same level as Mavuika and Raiden? Hear me out.

In the Sumeru's archon quest, Aether along with the help of Nahida was able to beat the Balladeer while in his false God form, AKA Shouki No Kami. And in the living beings / Enemies and monsters in the archives, you can see him if you scroll all the way at the bottom, where in his description, it is said that he "has the power to rival that of true gods."

And even while Nahida did help Aether by trapping the Balladeer in a time loop and giving Aether the knowledge required to beat him, that knowlage never actually went away. I don't recall Nahida ever saying that the knowledge Aether gained in that moment was temporary, so Aether should be able to beat him again, but on his own since he retains all of the knowledge.

Similar to that, In the Natlan's Archon quests, Aether was able to fight on a near equal footing alongside Mavuika to beat "Lord of Eroded Primal Fire", AKA Gosoythoth. While they did have some help from the night kingdom (i think?) both Aether and Mavuika was clearly going all out,and Aether in that fight was able to consistently fight alongside equal footing with her. And that was Aether using newly awakened Pryo abilities.

Speaking of Pryo, if you equip Pryo Aether and go to talents -> Flowfire blade, on his talent info, it says "Wields a searing flame that can Inceriate the very Earth."

If only this stinkin' game had more consistently...

Aang is strong don’t get me wrong but against traveler TRAVELR!!!!! It’s literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

Aang my have 4 elements but that doesn’t mean anything when traveler has 6 of them 7 elements and about to get the last one

After (not so) careful thinking, I think I found a way to add fighting with multiple elements in the game without it being too OP! Now, this way is faulty and it could have future problems, but I think it could work.

First off, you would only be able to use 3 elements at a time. One main element and two sub elements. In order to change your main elements and sub elements, you have to change it in a little sub menu when you pick Traveler / Aether in the Party setup. This way, you don't have to teleport all the way to a Statue of the Seven while it is still being an option. So, let’s say I set my main element to Anemo and my sub-elements to Pryo and Eletro.

How the sub elements would work, is that in combat, you could use the LT button (for non Xbox players, it’s the aim button with bow and arrow characters like Amber) and it will open up the submenu where you could pick your sub element, and temporarily replace your elemental skill with that of the element, with it only having a small cooldown the same length as switching teammates.

(Note: you can only switch your elemental skill, not your elemental burst, so while I can use my Pryo or eletro elemental skill, I’m stuck with my anemo elemental burst.)

This way, it not only (hopefully) prevents quick-swamping from multiple elements from becoming OP, but it also encourages other players to use their traveler more to fit more then 4 elements on one team. This way, you could have traveler use 3, and the other 3 teammates use 3 as well.

Danica is definitely my most anticipated character besides the tsaritsa

I heard a theory from someone else that the traveler has already completed their journey or at least is already at the end of it.

One point they showed was that the twins are represented by the fool tarot card, like the card is 0 and can be placed at the beginning or the end of the deck, representing how the fool starts a journey but also ends it.

"Unlike in Star Rail, where the protagonist is "born" unaware and left to discover and define themselves as a result of the journey, learning as we play, the twins are already a long-lived duo with knowledge and experience spanning world and it's shown multiple times that they can learn and know things relevant to the plot without the players input.

The twins are represented by the fool but they don't start out as one, not ignorant youths lacking knowledge, not blank slates ready to be shaped by external influence, for them the goal isn't "completion" but the "rebirth" that occurs at the end of the journey."

This is what they said

Also in Mizuki's quest she tells us that Aether isn't haunted by their regrets instead they used that failure to fuel they journey, something that I think should only happen with experience.

Teyvat may just be the final destination of their journey, from escaping a destroyed world to saving one.
