Top 5 catalyst users in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact currently has six different catalyst users across five Elements. This makes listing the top five reasonably easy, since one of these characters isn't all that great. With new catalyst users on the horizon, this list will undoubtedly change in the next few months.

Genshin Impact Top 5 catalyst characters

#5 - Barbara

Barbara

"Every citizen of Mondstadt adores Barbara. However, she learned the word 'idol' from a magazine."

Element: Hydro

Weapon: Catalyst

Birthday: July 5th

Constellation: Crater

Barbara is probably the first healer most players ever receive, given how Genshin Impact seems to love giving her away for free. This makes her an invaluable asset to any team composition for new players. It is also almost impossible to hate Barbara, even with miYoHo changing her voice lines recently.

#4 - Sucrose

Sucrose

"An alchemist filled with curiosity about all things. She researches bio-alchemy."

Element: Anemo

Weapon: Catalyst

Birthday: November 26th

Constellation: Ampulla

When powered up, Sucrose is pretty impressive with an Elemental Burst similar to Venti's with how it pulls in nearby enemies. She is excellent at crowd control and gathering foes for a player's DPS or other Utility to take down with raw DMG or Swirl damage.

#3 - Ningguang

Ningguang

"The Tianquan of Liyue Qixing. Her wealth is unsurpassed in all of Teyvat."

Element: Geo

Weapon: Catalyst

Birthday: August 26th

Constellation: Opus Aequilibrium

Ningguang is Genshin Impact's queen of AoE damage, firing blasts of Geo that can also mine ore or shatter shields. Her Jade Screen provides defensive support while also adding additional damage when her Elemental Burst is used. All players need to focus on is buffing her Crit & and CritDMG to have a severe powerhouse on their hands.

#2 - Mona

Mona

"A mysterious young astrologer who proclaims herself to be "Astrologist Mona Megistus," and who possesses abilities to match the title. Erudite, but prideful."

Element: Hydro

Weapon: Catalyst

Birthday: April 31st

Constellation: Astrolabos

Mona makes a fantastic sub-DPS with quick attack speed, significant damage output, and a catalyst user's range flexibility. She pairs exceptionally well with Genshin Impact characters like Keqing and Qiqi, playing off their elements well to rack up additional damage.

#1 - Klee

Klee

"An explosives expert and a regular at the Knights of Favonius' confinement room. Also known as Fleeing Sunlight."

Element: Pyro

Weapon: Catalyst

Birthday: July 27th

Constellation: Trifolium

Klee is Genshin Impact's feisty powerhouse. As one of the best DPS characters in the game, Klee pushes out Pyro DMG like it is going out of style. Combined with her Elemental Burst and how well Pyro stacks, there is no denying Klee is the best catalyst user in Genshin Impact.
