The best Catalyst inGenshin Impactmostly focuses on the offensive side of the weapon. The meta characters like Mona, Sucrose, and Sangonomiya Kokomi all perform greatly on offensive weapons. The following list will include Catalysts from all ranges of ranks, from 3-Star to 5-Star.

InGenshin Impact, Catalyst is likely the most unique weapon of all. Similar to Bow characters, Catalyst users are also ranged units. What sets them apart is the fact that Catalysts deal Elemental damage for their basic attack. So units that wield this weapon are brilliant for Elemental reactions.
Every weapon passive is written with the effect of Refinement Rank 1 ~ Refinement Rank 5.
7Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers may be a 3-Starweapon inGenshin Impact, but it is currently one of the best buffers in the game. Players can equip it on any Catalyst user, and when they switch their DPS in, the damage dealer will get a whopping 48% ATK increase. The best wielders for Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers are Barbara and Sangonomiya Kokomi.
6Dodoco Tales
Dodoco Tales isa free Catalyst fromGenshin Impact1.6. Just like any other free weapon, the corresponding event grants enough materials to refine the Catalyst to the maximum level.

This equipment fully focuses on the offensive side. It is best wielded by a main DPS, as off-field DPS won’t be able to benefit from its passive. Dodoco Tales is good for Klee, Ningguang and Yanfei.
5Solar Pearl
Solar Pearl is only obtainable from the Battle Pass. Like any other premium weapon, this Catalyst offers Critical Rate as its secondary stat. The passive is mostly suitable for a main DPS, but the Critical Rate sub-stat doesn’t hurt evenfor a Sub-DPS inGenshin Impact. Surprisingly though, Solar Pearl mostly performs worse than The Widsith. This causes the Critical Rate Catalyst to rank below the Critical Damage one, despite the fact that it costs real money.
4Sacrificial Fragments
Just likeother Sacrificial weapons inGenshin Impact, Sacrificial Fragments is also a brilliant weapon. The cooldown reset of its passive is so handy that it can bring some characters to a whole new level. Notable wielders for this weapon would be Sucrose and Sangonomiya Kokomi.

Sucrose with Sacrificial Fragments can be one of the best Battery inGenshin Impact, while with Kokomi, the weapon allows the Watatsumi Priestess to constantly have her jellyfish on the field. Kokomi’s Elemental Skill provides both healing and a large Hydro application.
3The Widsith
The Widsith is easilyone of the best 4-Star Catalysts inGenshin Impact. At maximum refinement, this blue book can even perform similarly to a 5-Star weapon. But, when using this equipment, Travelers have to rely on RNG to give them the buff that they need.
2Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds
Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is mostly great for its secondary stat. However, the passive is not very flexible because even a main DPS will need some time before they can maximize it. As for Sub-DPS, players can just forget about it completely. The Catalyst’s passive is the reason why Lost Prayer places below Skyward Atlas.
1Skyward Atlas
Skyward Atlas is arguablythe best Catalyst inGenshin Impact. Unlike Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, Skyward Atlas is great for both main DPS and Sub-DPS. This is because the Elemental damage bonus passive is granted without any condition. The only downside for Skyward Atlas is that it may be hard for players to build a decent Crit ratio.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
