Starcaller's Watch in Genshin Impact: Leaked stats, materials, and best characters to use with

Citlali is a 5-star character speculated to release in Genshin Impact 5.3, alongside Pyro Archon Mavuika. With the start of the Genshin Impact 5.3 closed beta test, leaks have started surfacing, that provide a variety of information about Citlali, including her kit, playstyle, and weapons. The latest leaks from the renowned leaker HomDGCat have hinted at Citlali's possible in-game weapon, a 5-star Catalyst.

This article discusses Citlali's signature weapon in terms of its stats and effects, the ascension materials needed for it, as well as the best characters to equip it, as suggested by leaks.

Note: This article is based on information sourced from leaks and is subject to change before the official release.

Starcaller's Watch stats, effects, and materials in Genshin Impact

Leaker HomDGCat has provided information about Citlali's possible signature weapon, a 5-star Catalyst called Starcaller's Watch. The following are the weapon's stats and effects, as per leaks:

Base ATK: 542
Secondary stat: 264.6 Elemental Mastery

As hinted at by Citlali's kit leaks, her shield scales off her Elemental Mastery, which means that the more EM she has, the better. The high Elemental Mastery secondary stat on Starcaller's Watch makes this the perfect weapon for her. The weapon also has the following passive effect, as per the leaks:

"Offering Unto Wind and Sun: The user has their Elemental Mastery increased by 100 / 125 / 150 / 175 / 200. When creating a shield, the equipping character triggers the Scrutiny effect, which lasts 10 seconds. While the Scrutiny effect is active, DMG dealt by the active character to enemies within a close range is increased by 24% / 30% / 36% / 42% / 48%. The Scrutiny effect can be triggered once every 15 seconds."

The supposed passive effect of Starcaller's Watch gives even more Elemental Mastery, while also increasing DMG dealt to enemies in a close range. The close-range clause is not an issue because most Catalyst users don't deal long-ranged damage. This weapon cannot properly be used by DPS Catalyst users who need CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG/ATK stats, but it can function well for other characters who scale off Elemental Mastery or need EM for their skills.

The following are the materials necessary for leveling up Starcaller's Watch in Genshin Impact, according to leaks:

Delirious Decadence of the Sacred Lord x5
Delirious Desolation of the Sacred Lord x14
Delirious Demeanor of the Sacred Lord x14
Delirious Divinity of the Sacred Lord x6
Sentry's Wooden Whistle x15
Warrior's Metal Whistle x23
Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle x27
Shard of a Shattered Will x23
Locus of a Clear Will x27
Sigil of a Striding Will x41

Delirious Decadence/Desolation/Demeanor/Divinity of the Sacred Lord can be farmed from the Natlan Ancient Watchtower Domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Best characters for Starcaller's Watch in Genshin Impact

Since Starcaller's Watch is an Elemental Mastery-based weapon, it is not a universal stat stick that can be used by any Catalyst user. The following are the characters who can make good use of the weapon:

1) Citlali

Since Starcaller's Watch is Citlali's signature weapon, she is its best user by default. This Catalyst both increases the user's Elemental Mastery, as well as their DMG when under a shield — both of which are elements integrated into Citlali's kit. The Cryo shield that Citlali creates via her Elemental Skill scales off her Elemental Mastery, meaning that she needs a lot of EM stats, which her signature weapon helps her with.

2) Nahida

Nahida is a character who needs a lot of Elemental Mastery, making Starcaller's Watch a perfect fit for her. For this reason, if you own Nahida and don't have her signature weapon, you can consider pulling for Starcaller's Watch.
