Utility Passives, officially referred to as Exploration Talents,[1] are a type of Passive Talent. Upon obtaining a Character, their Utility Passive is automatically unlocked without requiring any Ascensions. The only exception is the Traveler, who doesn't possess one. These talents usually provide some sort of utility outside of combat.
As these passives have not been officially categorized, the categories on this page are all unofficial and were determined by players based on the similarities between certain Talents.
