Who is the Ashen Horn suitable for in Genshin Impact?
The Ash Horn is well suited for characters with HP, since it enhances this characteristic with a sub-stat, and the striking power of the passive effect depends specifically on health. In the table we will analyze all the characters for whom this weapon is suitable:
| Character | Features |
|---|---|
 Mualani | Mualani uses the health stat as the source of damage for all her abilities, so an increase in this stat will have a positive effect on the heroine’s damage. The cooldown of the passive ability coincides with the stance time, so it fits perfectly into the rotation. |
 Neuvillette | Since the condition of the effect is to hit the enemy, and not to cause damage in a certain way, the weapon will also work on Nevillet. He also plays off of HP, but uses charged attacks rather than normal ones. |
 Kokomi | The Catalyst can be used on the Kokomi Driver to provide the team with additional damage. When entering the battlefield to update the E-shka and activate the ult, it will begin to hit physical. damage once every 15 seconds. The health boost will increase your hits during the stance. |
In general, the catalyst can be given to any healer from HP, since the blow will occur when hitting an enemy with any ability, even if it was, for example, a ring from the “E-shki” Barbara, skill mermaids of Vodyanitsa or skills Baizhu. However, support options for other weapons, e.g. Prototype Amber with its restoration of energy and health to allies, it will bring more benefits and indirect damage than a regular passive effect attack once every 15 sec.
How the weapon works
Passive ability effect hits physical damage once every 15 seconds, if the enemy was hit by any ability while the owner of the catalyst is on the field. Accordingly, there is no need to separately use a basic attack on, for example, Kokomi or Barbara, if they act in the squad only as a healer. It is enough to simply hit them with an enemy’s elemental skill when activating the ability.
Rotation when using Ashen Horn:
- Start your actions by activating support skills until you reach the owner of the weapon. This can be either one of the supports or the main damage dealer.
- Perform a basic or charged attack, E-shka, or elemental explosion. The main thing is to hit the enemy so that a physical attack occurs. impact from the catalyst passive.
- If necessary, switch to the necessary allies or continue the battle. Wait 15 seconds for the cooldown, then activate the strike again in the same way.

On Neva, the song of the boundless azure is definitely better if you have to choose between two event ones.
Is the damage from the poke buffed somehow?
It was the 4th anniversary, but Hoevers still hadn't come up with a weapon with better HP than Yantar x)
Well, it's understandable, as Big Ozzy said, they have to sell useless signals somehow.
If Kokomi is fat and playing with Furina, then it's okay to give it to the fish
If Kokomi gets fat, she won't be able to run
It turns out there's no worthy carrier for it yet. There are better epic weapons for all of the above.
Weapons that deal one hit of damage every N seconds have always been junk.
If ascending not only increased the damage percentage but also reduced the reload time, to, say, 5-6 seconds at max, it would be a great alternative/add-on to Mollusk. Otherwise, yes, it's better to use Epic or Craft.
