Genshin Impact: Best characters for Starcaller's Watch

Starcaller's Watch offers the following stats and effects to its wielder:

• Base ATK: 542
• Second stat: 265 EM
• Passive: Increases Elemental Mastery by 100. Gain the "Mirror of Night" effect within 15 seconds after the equipping character creates a shield: The current active party member deals 28% increased DMG to nearby opponents. You can gain the "Mirror of Night" effect once every 14 seconds.

Based on the details, the weapon is best suited for Catalyst users who benefit from the Elemental Mastery stat. Considering there are only a few of them, below are the best characters to equip Starcaller's Watch:

1) Citlali

The new 5-star Cryo support character Citlali is the best character to wield Starcaller's Watch as it is her signature weapon. Its effects dovetail her kit perfectly and provide her with the stats she needs.

Citlali's main use case in the game is to enable Cryo-related elemental reactions and provide shielding and resistance to interruption to the active character. Since Cryo reactions and her shield strength scale off her Elemental Mastery, the significant amount of it offered by the weapon makes it Citlali's BiS (best-in-slot) option.

Moreover, Citlali can buff the damage of the active character by casting her Elemental Skill via this weapon's passive ability, further enhancing her support capabilities.

2) Nahida

The Dendro Archon, Nahida, is another 5-star Catalyst user whose abilities scale off her Elemental Mastery. She is a great sub-DPS who can trigger Dendro-related elemental reactions by using her Elemental Skill, which marks enemies and deals damage to them at fixed intervals.

She is often regarded as one of the best characters in the title and works best even at low investment, as stacking a lot of Elemental Mastery on her is enough to get the job done. This is where Starcaller's Watch comes in.

However, players should note that since Nahida cannot generate a shield, they will miss out on that aspect of the weapon's passive when using it with her.
