Genshin Impact” 2.1 is bringing some new weapons to the game–one of these, The Catch, is a polearm that seems to heavily suit the incoming Raiden Shogun. The weapon is a 4-star polearm that increases Elemental Burst DMG and Elemental Burst CRIT Rate. These two stats favor Baal, the Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst-centric playstyle. Additionally, The Catch's secondary stat is Energy Recharge.

How To Get The Catch Polearm Weapon

Since The Catch is obtainable for free, f2p players should make sure to grab it. To obtain The Catch, players need to trade a certain number of fishes to Kujirai Momji from the Inazuma Fishing Association. Here are the exact amounts:

  • 6 Raimei Angel Fish
    • Raimei Angelfish can be obtained through fishing using False Worm Bait. The fish will only spawn between the hours of 18:00 – 6:00, based on in-game time
  • 20 Golden Koi
    • Golden Koi can be obtained through fishing using Fake Fly Bait.
  • 20 Rusty Koi
    • Rusty Koi can be obtained through fishing using Fake Fly Bait.

You can check out our feature on the Genshin Impact Fishing system here. Additionally, a Lunar Realm fishing event will be dropping sometime during the 2.1 update, which may help to obtain The Catch more easily.

Catch Polearm Weapon: Ascension Materials

Players can already farm most of the Ascension materials for The Catch. The different masks are obtainable from the Court of Flowing Sand domain in Mt. Yougou, on Narukami Island. They are only available on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Players can farm the Spectral Husk, Spectral Heart, and Spectral Nucleus from a new “Specter” enemy in Inazuma, which were added in 2.1. Meanwhile, the Chaos Gear, Chaos Axis, and Chaos Oculus materials drop from Ruin Sentinels. These are found in Araumi, Tatarasuna, and Serpent's Head in Inazuma. As for the other regular Genshin Impact weapon upgrade materials, players will need 607 Mystic Enhancement Ore and 754,320 Mora to fully upgrade The Catch to level 90 and Refinement Level 5.

Interestingly, The Catch differs from most other Genshin Impact weapons because it doesn't require an identical weapon to refine. Players need only to purchase “Ako's Sake Vessel” from the Inazuma Fishing Association to obtain it. This can be exchanged to Kujirai Momji for the following fishes:

  • 3 Raimei Angel Fish
    • Raimei Angelfish can be obtained through fishing using False Worm Bait. The fish will only spawn between the hours of 18:00 – 6:00, based on in-game time
  • 10 Pufferfish
    • Pufferfish can be obtained through fishing using Fake Fly Bait.
  • 10 Bitter Pufferfish
    • Bitter Pufferfish can be obtained through fishing using Fake Fly Bait.

The Catch is a great 4-star free weapon for polearm users that heavily rely on their elemental bursts. Aside from the much-anticipated arrival of Baal, the Raiden Shogun, we can also expect characters like Zhongli, Xiangling, and Rosaria to benefit from it.
