Stabs at the opponent with the Traveler’s weapon, which releases an ice-cold fog. This deals Cryo DMG to opponents up ahead and forms a Frostpierce Star next to the Traveler.

Frostpierce Star
· Follows your own party members around the field and periodically fires ice crystals at nearby opponents, dealing Cryo DMG.
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The Frostpierce Star will no longer fire ice crystals at opponents at intervals but will instead fire an ice crystal at opponents in a coordinated attack when the Traveler hits an opponent with a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, or Plunging Attack. This effect can trigger once every 0.2s.
· When an opponent is hit with an ice crystal, the Traveler gains 1 stack of Frostglow (max 8 stacks).

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: DMG from the current Elemental Burst is changed to Cryo DMG of the corresponding Stellar Glimmer reaction type.
