The first event weapon in the Fontaine era of patches for Genshin Impact is the Ballad of the Boundless Blue, a 4-star Catalyst which you get for free by playing the 4.1 main event Waterborne Poetry. It shines brightly on the right hands, and here are some of its best users.
Ballad of the Boundless Blue Weapon Overview
Base ATK44 (at Lvl 1), 565 (at Lvl 90)SubstatEnergy Recharge%Base ER%6,6% (at Lvl 1), 30,2% (at Lvl 90)Passive DescriptionWithin 6s after Normal or Charged Attacks hit an opponent, Normal Attack DMG will be increased by 8 ~16% and Charged Attack DMG will be increased by 6 ~12%. Max 3 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s.
With emphasis on a more active, on-field gameplay, this catalyst is similar to the also event-exclusive old Dodoco Tales catalyst. The difference is a more Burst-focused gameplay thanks to the ER% substat and, of course, current availability as the previous weapon is likely not coming back so soon.
