New weapon in Genshin Impact 3.1 aims to significantly increase Elemental Mastery. If swords and spears don’t suit you, check out the Wandering Star Catalyst. In this guide, we will analyze in detail all the known information about this weapon, how to get it and upgrade it, as well as who best suits it.
What are the characteristics of the Wandering Star

The Wandering Star is a 4-star catalyst that gives a nice boost to Attack Power and Elemental Mastery. This ability is partially transferred to the whole team and can be kept indefinitely. Basic attack to 510, also increases elemental mastery to 165.
Every 10 seconds, the wielder’s attack power is increased by 24% of their Elemental Mastery. The buff is also received by other squad members, but at a rate of 30% of the effect. Duration 12 seconds. The bonus accumulates with similar weapon improvements and persists even when the equipped character is not in combat.
How to get the Wandering Star
The catalyst can only be obtained through prayers. Due to the reduced rarity, this is much easier to do than with a five star weapon.

Who is Wandering Star intended for?

The owner of the catalytic converter must have high elemental mastery or the buff to attack will be too weak.
Thanks to the catalyst, Yae Miko will get a significant increase in attack power from elemental mastery, in addition, it will strengthen the rest of the party members.
Many of Sucrose’s abilities depend on mastering the elements. With a catalytic converter, she will also increase her attack power.

With a catalyst, Heizo will seriously strengthen the team.
Lisa, as an Electro character, is in dire need of more basic mastery. The catalyst will increase her damage and also buff the team.
If Mona is the main character for Elemental Burst, Wandering Star is a good choice. For strong damage from the ult, the indicator of elemental mastery is important, which the weapon will provide.
How to play Wandering Star
As usual, the effectiveness of weapons depends on a well-composed team. The unit must be set up to attack power and the owner of the catalytic converter must have high elemental mastery. It’s important to switch to a character equipped with the Roaming Star in time to maintain the squad buff. You can do this without any additional conditions, as the skill cooldown is 10 seconds and lasts 12 seconds.
