Surf’s Up in the game Genshin Impact is a 5-star event catalyst. The weapon increases the wearer's health and is designed for the main damage dealer, dealing damage with normal attacks, which distinguishes it from its counterparts oriented towards support characters.
This article discusses the characteristics of the catalyst, its applications, and the materials needed to improve it.
How to get Surf’s Up
Like other event weapons, Ride the Wave is available for a limited time in the weapon banner "Incarnation of the Deity". The weapon will appear in the game for the first time in the update 5.0.

Who is Catch the Wave for?
Catch the Wave is aimed at the main DDs, playing from normal blows with the hand. The maximum potential of this weapon is realized only through those main damage dealers who receive a bonus to damage through a high health indicator, and also play through the reaction of Par.
Catch the Wave may suit the following characters:
| Character | Advantages |
|---|---|
 Mualani |
Catch the Wave is her signature weapon and is a great buff for a heroine who primarily plays with normal attacks. The max health bonus increases her damage output, and playing through Steam will allow her to continuously receive a damage bonus. |
 |
The hero's talent allows him to gain a boost to Hydro damage at high health, and the critical damage bonus will also be useful. Despite the fact that Nevillet does not play from normal attacks, but from charged ones, for him Ride the Wave can be a good catalyst. |
 |
The Pyro hero deals primary damage with alternating normal and charged attacks and often appears in squads that play through Steam. The critical damage bonus will be useful to her, and the health buff will slightly increase her survivability in combat. |
 |
Like Klee, she will be able to benefit from crit damage bonuses and a permanent normal attack buff in-game via Pyro's reaction with Hydro. |
How to play with Catch the Wave
It is recommended to equip the catalyst to the main DD, who plays through the reactions of Pyro with Hydro elements. First, it is necessary to activate the elemental skill of the main damage dealer to get 4 stacks of Sultry Summer, after which you can press the normal attack if you wish. Then, with the help of the Pyro or Hydro element support, you need to activate the Steam reaction to get another level of Sultry Summer, after which you can switch back to the main DD and deal four blows with a normal attack. If the catalyst in the squad does not play through Steam, it will be enough to simply activate the elemental skill and deal four blows with a normal attack.
