Good for Main and Sub-DPS Characters

The Solar Pearl is good enough for both Main and Sub-DPS as a means to increase CRIT Rate. Using this as a Sub-DPS character and off-field DMG dealer can be tricky, but it essentially boils down to simply doing a Normal Attack before using a Skill or Burst.

i don't think it applies to other characters as it doesn't specifically state that it does, but it probably stays on said catalyst-wielding character even if you switch them out and switch them back in. you'd have to watch out though since the buff only lasts 6s
