Appearance
Each weapon has two forms, one when it is initially summoned and another once it has reached a certain level of ascension. Once this occurs, the weapon will undergo a change in its design. Dodoco Tales is a small red booklet with red and white coloration along with silver framing. It has a large four leaf clover placed in the center
Non-Ascended
The clover at the center of the book is red and the book’s framing is a dark crimson.
Ascended
The clover near the center glows white, and the formerly red outlining and frames of the catalyst are now a combination of silver and white coloration. Notably, this is an inversion of the colors from its Non-Ascended form.
Story
Legend has it that there is a group of islands somewhere far away in the middle of a foggy sea, and this place is called the Golden Apple Archipelago.
They say that the cute and peace-loving Dodo Clan lives together on many islands, and they have no troubles with the rest of the world.
The Dodo Clan are kind and playful creatures, and they love to tease each other and play with each other, and none of them ever get bored or sad.
"Dodoco!" they all call each other, and that means "the best of friends!"
But just as dandelion seeds will one day leave the embrace of their stalk and go with the wind, every Dodoco will one day ride the wind and the waves, and travel to the wider world on an adventure, searching for a four-leaf clover.
Why must they do this?
It's because, having lived for a long time on the Golden Apple Archipelago, the Dodocos can no longer recognize each other. They're all "Dodocos," and they all look the same, after all! So there's no "you" or "me" for them at all!
But only the red, blazing four-leaf clover can let them know the true meaning of "Dodoco" and tell each other apart, thus allowing them to play freely with all their friends!
...At least, that's what my mom says, and she can do just about aaaanything!
So, in order to understand what makes a true "Dodoco," they leave their good friends and go to faraway places to make new good friends and become their "Dodoco," too!
They'll see all kinds of nice things, hear all kinds of interesting stuff, meet lots of friends... and one day, when their friends are looking at them, at a time when no one expects it — that's when the blazing, sparkling four-leaf clover will appear!
And that's why when a furry Dodoco from the Golden Apple Archipelago tumbles into the sea or leaps into the wind before drifting far, far away, that means that a lucky child is about to meet their bestest friend ever!
This small, precious book was given by the freest mother in the world to the luckiest daughter in the world. It chronicles the countless adventures that Dodoco had before meeting her, and the adventures that she and Dodoco have had since — bigger and better adventures filled with sparks, splashes, treasures, and lots of friends!
Trivia
-The Clover found on the cover of the catalyst is the same 4 leaf clover found on Klee’s clothing
–As an event weapon, it doesn’t rely on copies of itself in order to refine, but a special material gained from the 1.6 event shop.
-Dodoco Tales has the lowest bast ATK of the 4-Star catalysts at 41 base ATK at level 1 and 454 base ATK at level 90
FAQs
Is the Dodoco Tales good?
For catalyst characters that have a focus on on the field damage and have a lot of strength in their charged attacks, Dodoco Tales is one of if not THE strongest 4-Star catalyst options available if you were able to snag it during its event run.
Who are some of the best users of Dodoco Tales?
The three best users are considered Ningguang, Yanfei, and Klee. All three are frequently encouraged to use charged attacks due to mechanics in their kits and thus greatly benefit from Dodoco Tales’ bonuses to Charged Attack damage.
Is Dodoco Tales good for Klee?
Dodoco Tales was essentially designed with Klee’s kit in mind. The huge bonuses to %ATK and Charged Attacks compound with those found innately in her kit, making her damage output outrageous if you’re constantly critting with her charged attacks.
Final Thoughts
Dodoco Tales is a very powerful 4-Star catalyst choice for characters that you expect to mainly be on the field.The biggest issue with Dodoco Tales is its exclusivity, as it has such a small time period of which it was available. If you were able to acquire it however, odds are that you were also able to fully refine it, and that in itself makes it very strong compared to what else you might have. Unless you’ve been fortunate enough to land one of the 5-Star Catalysts, Dodoco Tales is very likely to be one of your best options for on the field Catalyst DPS
