A Thousand Floating Dreams is a 5-star Catalyst in Genshin Impact that has returned for its first rerun together with Nahida on the limited banners. This is an excellent weapon choice for elemental reactions due to its sub-stats. When fully ascended to level 90, this weapon provides 542 base ATK and 265 Elemental Mastery as secondary stats.

The weapon's passive, A Thousand Nights' Dawnsong, grants the wielder different buffs based on the elemental types of other party members. Having the same elemental type will provide a 32 Elemental Mastery bonus. If not, the equipping character gains 10% elemental DMG%. This effect can be stacked up to three times, with all party members receiving additional Elemental Mastery.

Here's a list of characters that can effectively use A Thousand Floating Dreams:

1) Nahida

A Thousand Floating Dreams is Nahida's signature weapon. As a signature weapon, it's clearly the strongest option for her in any team composition in Genshin Impact.

Nahida can use her signature weapon to deal massive amounts of damage as an on-field or off-field Dendro DPS. The weapon's passive is tailor-made for her as it provides tons of Elemental Mastery and Elemental DMG bonuses to Nahida. Additionally, nearby party members will receive additional Elemental Mastery as well.

A Thousand Floating Dreams is an effective weapon choice for Yae Miko in Genshin Impact. With the introduction of Spread and Aggravate reactions, off-field Electro DPS such as Yae Miko have gained popularity with increased pick rates.

For Yae Miko, this 5-star Catalyst weapon is a strong option when used in Dendro teams, where the entire team's damage focuses heavily on Elemental Reactions that benefit from EM. However, Yae Miko will lose her own damage when used outside Dendro team compositions with this weapon.
