Best characters to use Ballad of the Boundless Blue

1) Wriothesley

Wriothesley is one of the best units that can fully utilize all the Ballad of the Boundless Blue's stats and skills. The new Catalyst increases the equipping character's Normal and Charged Attack DMG by a significant amount. This is especially beneficial to Wriothesley since his main source of damage is his Normal Attacks.

In addition, the secondary stat of 30.6% Energy Recharge can be really helpful to charge Elemental Burst faster. The new Catalyst can be a really good F2P option for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact.

2) Wanderer

The Ballad of the Boundless Blue is also an amazing weapon for Wanderer. Similar to Wriothesley, his main source of damage is also Normal Attacks. So, this weapon helps in boosting his damage. Furthermore, the additional Energy Recharge from its secondary stats can be useful for instant damage from his Elemental Burst.

3) Neuvillette

Neuvillette is currently one of the best main DPS characters in Genshin Impact. However, he does not have a lot of weapon options, especially for F2P players. Luckily, the new Catalyst can be a nice 4-star option for Neuvillette since it boosts his Charged Attack DMG, which is his main source of damage. The Energy Recharge is also good for him to have high Burst uptime.

4) Yanfei

Yanfei is a 4-star Pyro DPS unit in Genshin Impact. While she is not the best damage dealer in the game, she can dish out a decent amount of damage from her Charged Attacks. This makes the Ballad of the Boundless Blue a good option for Yanfei since it can boost her damage.

Furthermore, the extra Energy Recharge can be really nice for her if players plan to run her Normal and Charged Attack hybrid build.

5) Mona

Ballad of the Boundless Blue is a decent option for Mona in Genshin Impact. The Energy Recharge gained from the weapon's secondary stat is beneficial to her since her Elemental Burst is a major part of her gameplay. Furthermore, if travelers have unlocked Mona's C2, she can also be used as an on-field unit, and the new Catalyst can be one of the best F2P options for her.
