Genshin Impact Catalyst Guide

Catalyst

Genshin impact is an open-world game with epic battles, an awesome storyline, and cool characters. You get the choice to play one of two twins. You can choose Genshin Impact characters like  Aether or Lumine. You go on a Genshin quest, with a floating pet called Paimon, to seven nations to find an evil goddess. 

In this Genshin Impact Catalyst guide, I will talk about the catalyst weapon, but first, let me tell you what the weapons are. There are multiple weapons that certain characters can use. You can level up your weapons to be the most powerful player ever! So grab your magic carpet because we’re going to a whole new world!

Weapons

There are five types of weapons, Catalyst, Bow, Claymore, Sword, and the Polearm. Below are some of the advantages of each.

  • Catalyst are great with elemental attacks. Characters like Klee, Lisa, and Yae Miko use this weapon.
  • Polearms are long-range weapons that are good for speed and attack. Characters like Hu Tao, Shenhe, and the Raiden Shogun use this weapon. It’s kinda like a big stick with a pointy end.
  • Claymores are slow on movement but stronger than other weapons. Beidou, Chongyun, and Noelle fight with this hunk of power.
  • Bows are better at ranged attacks for when getting close is not a good idea. Yoimiya, Aloy, and Diona are some characters who use a bow.
  • Swords are smaller and weaker but gain speed in return. The Traveler, Kaeya, and Qiqi are skilled with this speedster.

How to Find the Diamond in the Rough

Finding the right Catalyst will take some time, and there will be a lot. You won’t have to run through the marketplace. I’ll guide you to the right area so you can find the one for you.

You can get 5–star catalysts on the standard and event banners. You can get 4–stars from the same place as 5–stars, and you can get the blacksmiths to make them for you. The last place you can get 4–stars are in Paimon’s bargains. Paimon will give you a great deal. I’m not kidding.

3–star catalysts you will obtain from chests and wishing. 2 and 1–stars are way easier to get. NPCs give them to you as a prize for completing their quest, in chests or buy them in shops. 

Elemental bonus

There are many advantages to equipping specific Catalyst. ATK, DEF, HP, Crit rate, and Crit damage, elemental mastery, energy recharge, and physical damage are some of the passive and secondary traits your weapon can have. These will only be on weapons that are 3–star or higher.

Refining is another way to increase the power of your Catalyst. You have to get two of the same weapon and then merge them by pressing the refine button.

Catalyst show and tell!

Below I have all the catalysts the game has to offer. This list shows all from 1–star to 5–star. It even shows what you need to ascend them. Look at the traits carefully. Things aren’t always as they seem.

FAQ

Question: Who is the Best Catalyst User?

Answer: I think Mona is the best Catalyst user in the game. She can lay out a lot of damage and keep the enemies in place for additional hits. Who doesn’t like a woman in a big hat!

Question: What is the Best Catalyst in Genshin Impact?

Answer: Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is a DPS dream. This weapon’s damage is a little OP if you ask me.

Question: Are Catalyst Users Good in Genshin Impact?

Answer: Catalyst characters are great to use for support. There’s so many to choose from it’s hard to pick. You have 4 and 5 stars to choose from. Good luck.

Final Thoughts

I love using catalysts to create elemental effects on enemies and then enhance their effects with another attack. They are great against groups and fighting big monsters. I use catalysts as a support, but I have seen many builds where they are DPS.

Take advantage of the weakness some elements have and when you are fighting an enemy. Whatever you choose, make your Catalyst stronger. You can turn a street rat into a king!
