Here is a list of the Best Catalysts in Genshin Impact. Pair them with the right characters to get the most damage!
In Genshin Impact, there are five different weapon kinds, and each character in the game uses one of them. In Genshin Impact, the Catalyst is unusual in that its Normal Attacks are meant to deal Elemental Damage (Yanfei for example will deal Pyro damage on her Normal Attacks.) Catalysts are also one of the game’s two ranged weapons, allowing you to damage enemies from a greater distance than melee weapons.
Some Catalysts in the game are naturally better than others, particularly those with a high rarity. However, despite the high cost of wishing them, some Catalysts are deceptively weak. This is a list of the best Catalysts in Genshin Impact.
