Catalysts are collectibles you can use to customize the modifiers on your Rift Battle defense nodes. Catalysts are not consumable, and can be reused in different configurations. With Catalysts, you decide the best way to add a twist on your defense to keep things challenging for your opponent. There are Element Specific, Character Specific, and Unspecific catalysts.
