Catalyze

Catalyze is a group of three Elemental Reactions that involve Dendro and Electro, including Quicken, Aggravate, and Spread.

Quicken is triggered by inflicting Dendro on a target that is already affected by Electro or vice-versa. This reaction deals no DMG, but applies a Quicken Aura to the target affected that decays over time.

Further attacks that inflict Dendro or Electro on a target affected by the Quicken Aura will trigger the Spread or Aggravate reactions respectively which grants the attack a Flat DMG Bonus. Dendro attacks receive a greater DMG Bonus than Electro attacks. Spread and Aggravate will not consume the Quicken Aura.

Inflicting Pyro or Hydro on a Quicken Aura will consume it to trigger Burning or Bloom respectively.

Duration

${\displaystyle \text{Duration (Seconds)}_\text{Quicken Aura} = \min(\text{Gauge}_\text{Origin Aura}, \text{Gauge}_\text{Trigger Element}) \times 5 + 6}$

Damage Bonus

The Spread and Aggravate reactions add Additive Base DMG Bonus to attacks.

The Base DMG Bonus is calculated as:

• For Aggravate, ${\displaystyle 1.15 \times \text{Level Multiplier}}$.
• For Spread, ${\displaystyle 1.25 \times \text{Level Multiplier}}$.

Level Multipliers for every level can be found in Elemental Reaction/Level Scaling#Level Multiplier.

The Base DMG Bonus will then be multiplied by reaction multipliers provided by Elemental Mastery and Artifacts (the two sources stack additively), before finally being inserted into the damage calculation of the attack that triggered the reaction and will be further affected by DMG Bonuses, CRIT DMG, DEF and RES.

Trivia

• The reaction between Electro and Dendro is said to have a deep connection to the history of Sumeru.^[1]
  • It is possible that this connection is related to the relationship between Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Nabu Malikata. While no characters or written records have suggested any link between Nabu Malikata and any of the seven elements, environmental clues suggest that she was an Electro god or otherwise connected to Electro.
    • During the World Quest Series The Dirge of Bilqis, in contrast to the other caves as well as the rest of the Great Red Sand, the cave representing the Goddess of Flowers is noticeably purple and filled with Electro enemies, Electro Crystals, and large purple flowers, which are otherwise rare in the Great Red Sand.
    • Throughout the The Orchard of Pairidaeza, there are flowers that appear to be purple-red versions of the Padisarah decorations shown during the Archon Quest Chapter III: Act II - The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings. These may be the original Padisarahs. The original Padisarahs' exact shade of purple was said to be 紫红色 "purple-red" by Nilou during the Archon Quest The End of the Sabzeruz Festival in Chapter III: Act II - The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings, and an achievement obtainable in The Orchard of Pairidaeza, In Her Full Glory..., mentions "fuchsia Padisarahs." The flowers' shade of purple also happens to be close to the colors of the Electro element, especially when compared to modern-day Padisarahs.
    • The first three Consecrated Beasts released were aligned with the Anemo, Pyro, and Electro elements and could only be found in the Desert of Hadramaveth in the open world, with the exception of a single Consecrated Scorpion near Orobashi's remains on Yashiori Island. As Consecrated Beasts are creatures that mutated after feeding on the remains of greater beings, such as gods, the elements of the Consecrated Beasts in the Desert of Hadramaveth may be explained by the deaths of powerful Wenut, who are likely Anemo-aligned like the Setekh Wenut; King Deshret, who is suggested to have been Pyro-aligned by the abundance of Flaming Flowers in the Great Red Sand; and Nabu Malikata.
      • The subsequent release of Hydro- and Dendro-aligned Consecrated Beasts and their presence in the Girdle of the Sands can similarly be explained by the deaths of Egeria and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata; thus, the hypothetical explanation of the Consecrated Scorpions' Electro element still holds.
    • Sudabeh notes in the World Quest The Children of Vimara Village in Series Aranyaka: Part I - Woodland Encounter that "Electro is good for plants," which is reflected in the effect of applying Electro to Tri-Lakshana Creatures. While plants can also benefit from electricity in real life, such as after lightning strikes, zapping plants with a lot of electricity in real life will harm them, which does not seem to be the case when Electro is applied to plants in Genshin Impact. This could be explained by Nabu Malikata, who was the Goddess of Flowers, having a connection to the Electro element.
      • Additionally, the three elements involved in the states of Tri-Lakshana Creatures (Electro, Pyro, and Dendro) may be a reflection of Nabu Malikata's possible Electro alignment, King Deshret's possible Pyro alignment, and their friendship with Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, the Dendro Archon.
