by This time we bring you an analysis of a catalyst called Ode to the Vast Blue , we can get this weapon for free in Genshin Impact as a reward for the limited event called ” Between Ink and Verses ” in version 4.1 of the game.
Ode to the Vast Blue stands out mainly for greatly enhancing the damage of Normal Attacks and Charged Attacks, so it will be very beneficial for those Main DPS whose main source of damage comes from this type of attacks.
Curiously, this catalyst is quite similar to another one called “Tales of Dodoco” which coincidentally was also a reward from another limited event prior to this one, since both passives are practically the same. The main difference between both weapons is their secondary stats and that Ode to the Vast Blue can confer a greater damage bonus to Normal and Charged Attacks.
ATTRIBUTES OF THE ODE TO THE VAST BLUE IN GENSHIN IMPACT
Let’s start with his statistics:
- Base Attack Level 1 : 44.
- Base Attack Level 90 : 565.
As far as Base Attack is concerned, it stands out notably, since it is one of the four-star catalysts with the highest Base Attack in the game along with the Nautical Chart , the Immaculate Fluence , the Eye of the Oath and Wine and Poetry.
Its secondary attribute is the following:
- Energy Recharge Level 1 : 6.67%.
- Level 90 Energy Recharge : 30.63%.
By raising this catalyst to level 90 it will give us 30.63% Energy Recharge ; Frankly, it is not the best secondary statistic that a catalyst designed only for Main DPS can give us , but in some cases it can be useful despite that.
His Passive Skill confers the following effect:
- R1 : Hitting an enemy with a Normal or Charged Attack will increase the damage of Normal Attacks by 8% and the damage of Charged Attacks by 6% for 4 seconds. This bonus can be stacked a maximum of 3 times and each stack can be earned every 0.3 seconds.
- R5 : Hitting an enemy with a Normal or Charged Attack will increase the damage of Normal Attacks by 16% and the damage of Charged Attacks by 12% for 4 seconds. This bonus can be stacked a maximum of 3 times and each stack can be earned every 0.3 seconds.
Certainly, the passive of the Ode to the Vast Blue is quite good, since being an event weapon we will have no problems getting it R5, in which it can give us up to +48% damage to Normal Attacks and a +36 % damage to Charged Attacks upon achieving three stacks of the effect.
The drawback of this catalyst is that each bonus obtained lasts only 4 seconds, which makes this weapon more designed to enhance characters who primarily perform Normal Attacks and occasionally intersperse a Charged Attack in their combo.
WHAT CHARACTER DO I PUT IT TO?
At the moment, this would be the only character who can truly take advantage of this Catalyst:
One of the characters who will make the best use of this catalyst will be Wriothesley , since the vast majority of his damage comes directly from his Normal Attacks that he executes under the effects of his Elemental Skill that enhances them and the high hooks that allow him to recover Life .
Additionally, while under the effects of his Elemental Ability, Wriothesley doesn’t even need to reset the lapse of his Normal Attacks, allowing him to hit enemies quickly and quickly get all the stacks of the passive to make the most of it.
The Energy Recharge that this catalyst gives you can be relevant especially in your Melted teams, in which you will not have another Cryo character to act as a battery and you may have some problems keeping your Ulti recharged.
Another character that greatly benefits from the increased damage for Normal and Charged Attacks would be the Wanderer , since his gameplay consists of interspersing a Charged Attack after executing two or three Normal Attacks (In addition, he needs to execute at least one Charged Attack to be able to activate the effects of his best Artifact Set: Epic of the Desert Pavilion ).
The amount of Energy Recharge provided by the secondary statistic of the Ode to the Vast Blue will also be very useful to us, since it will be the right amount for our Wanderer to always have his Ultimate Skill recharged. Although the Wanderer’s main source of damage is his Normal and Charged Attacks, his Ultimate Skill also deals fairly decent damage and is worth using whenever possible.
Other characters who take advantage of it:
- Yanfei : Her main source of damage is Charged Attacks and she also uses Normal Attacks to get seals that will boost her Charged Attacks, so the passive fits very well with her. The Energy Recharge won’t hurt either, since this character has quite a few problems when it comes to recharging his Ulti.
- Klee : In the case of Klee, it is preferable to take her with Tales of Dodoco, since she does not have so many Energy Recharge problems and her Ultimate Skill has a medium cost, so it will be better to boost her Attack with this other catalyst.
- Ninguang : If you still use her as a Main DPS , this catalyst can help you, but today Ninguang is more used as a Support DPS that only uses her Definitive Skill and her Elemental Skill to enhance it.
- Shikanoin Heizou : It can be useful to you due to the fact that it increases the damage of Normal Attacks and it hits very quickly, but the Energy Recharge that this catalyst gives you will be quite irrelevant and it will be preferable to equip another one that increases the damage. % Attack (since it has a pretty bad Base Attack).
