I CANNOT Believe This Happened... [Genshin Impact Catalysts Only]

Genshin Impact, but we use Catalysts ONLY. AKA, Spells Only.
This is inspired by my own Swords Only playthrough we currently have running on the channel. That account is at a point where we just need to farm domains to further build characters, so with plenty of catalyst-wielding characters on the horizon, it's time to begin this journey as well.
This time around we are actually blessed with some AMAZING luck on the Standard Banner. I still cannot believe what happened

I would definitely recommend pulling Nahida over Yae. If you can get both then obviously that’s a W, but Nahida will be crucial for a number of reasons. You’ll have access to Dendro for puzzles and combat that you’d otherwise have to wait a long time for. You have Lisa for whatever needs electro, but without Nahida you’ll be locked out of certain content. And who knows when another Dendro catalyst will come out. (Leak enjoyers please don’t share any leaks, some people don’t want to see them!”

[@friendlyauthor7435]

He's kinda locked out of some puzzles cause you need a bow to hit floating targets

She was on one of my teams when I first got 36 stars in abyss, and she was my first triple crowned character. I don't use her as much anymore, but she is absolutely fantastic and will always remain one of my favorites.

Nahida can be very useful to fight against Hydro Abyss mages

[@ItsDioxide]

The scene where you collected the glaze lillies, when you collected them and put them on beat with the music, I was vibing

[@iClone101]

Java, you probably want to get the Archon Quests done on Spells Only, since it's almost certain that Nahida is going to require Scaramouche drops, with that domain being unlocked through the Sumeru Archon Quests.

manifesting nahida, yae, and scaramouche for you!! along with al haitham & layla on the swords only account

[@Blissteen_BB]

Your Ningguang is the same as my Tartaglia! They both got us a favorable 5* weapon from the standard banner, from the same ascensions.

Last time Ninguang was rate up was with Kazuha and Klee banner. Also, Nahida will make that hydro domain a lot easier because dendro destroys hydro super fast.

[@novafajr6375]

You can always use some of the 4 star non-catalyst weapons to pump up Lost Prayer. 4-star weapons give a pretty large chunk of exp. It might not be enough to push from 80 to 90 but itll get you a good chunk of the way.

[@ezgidefile]

I love how you don’t care about meta and just play however you want, you inspired me to pull for Nilou instead of Nahida and I am glad I got her she is so pretty

[@GA4836_]

Pull for Nahida when she comes you might get lucky. Nilou + Nahida will be very OP and it is Nilou’s best team.

scaramouche is going to be an catalyst user also, so you must choose wisely between nahida yae miko and scara :)

[@loif93]

@@Zeiti_ I know, but it would be funny and also content I guess

[@n0n4m33]

and Nahida

[@J.sh_CDN]

I would not do this, the eye of perception is not worth building physical damage at all, when you could be boosting her geo damage. I will say though, I'd still keep eye of perception as Ningguangd backup weapon, as it just does damage, and your 5 star might end up getting shuffled to other characters as they come. It is an excellent weapon for a dps Ningguang. Prototype amber Mona works honestly pretty well for a support mona, keeping her burst up more often, as well as the heals. Otherwise, Favonius Codex is great for the ER and for supporting the team.

[@zkart8038]

Worst advice ever...lol Especially for someone who has no resin or level up materials.

[@cannelle3218]

nahida will be great for the account as dendro is really good at going through hydro shields, so the mondstadt weapon domain will become a lot easier !

[@r_shd0380]

My kuki does the same amount of healing as a c0 kokomi , she's C6 now , but did around 3k per tic when she was c0, now she does around 7k per tic if a character is on life support. also fits my cyno, diluc, physical kaeya, Kazuha, Ayato team comp , although hydro res is also buffed too now. so sometimes kokomi is better.

[@maldelicious5595]

Java, without leaking anything I just want to mention that the 3-star catalyst - "Magic Guide" is supposedly Nahida's best in slot F2P. The weapons that are usually better than that are Kagura's Variety and her own BiS catalyst. So you might want to have an R5 Magic Guide with you just in case. Also, spoilers for 3.3 (not story related): Playable scaramouche in 3.3 is a Onfield field damage dealer who uses a catalyst so Lost Prayers will probably be one of his best weapons. Personally saying...skip Yae Miko as a whole and go for Scaramouche but thats just a recommendation as he is a main dps

its not really a lot but you can use the other 4* weapons that arent catalysts to level it up
