Who is the spear Catch suitable for in Genshin Impact

First of all, the Catch is suitable for characters playing from an explosion of the elements and in need of energy restoration. Thanks to its overall versatility and convenient passive effect, the spear can be equipped on several characters:

• Shogun Raiden — Catch is perhaps the best free weapon for this heroine, slightly inferior to Radiant Harvest. A lot of energy recovery is important for the character's mechanics, and the useful passive of the spear increases the critical chance of Raiden's already powerful ultimate.
• Xiangling — the elemental explosion of this heroine from Li Yue causes enormous damage, so the cooldown of the skill should be almost instantaneous. With the Catch, Xiang Ling will be able to not only gain more HE, but also increase the damage of her ult.
• Rosaria - another ult-procaster character in need of energy restoration. In addition, the heroine is often used as a cryo applicator. However, the Catch passive will not be fully implemented on Rosary - it distributes 15% crit to allies. chance from your own.
• Zhongli — a spear can be equipped on a Geo Archon if it is collected not into a shield, but into damage from the ult. In this case, Olov will fit well on the character and increase his damage.
• Shenhe - the weapon will give the character a lot of energy recovery coupled with an average basic attack. However, the passive is more suitable for other damage dealer characters. If you are not playing Xiang Ling or Raiden, you can safely give the spear to Shen He.

Alternative options:

• Yun Jin - if you don’t have the spear of Favonius, you can give the Catch. However, the weapon will only give her energy restoration, because the passive on heroine will not work.
• Thoma - the weapon is suitable for him only if he deals damage with his ult. But most often this character is played through shields and elemental mastery.

For Saino and Xiao, the Ulov spear is completely unsuitable : the elemental explosion buff does not work on them and the weapon will only provide an average energy recovery.
