Strategy

With exceptionally high SPD and ATK, Cath is a quick assassin that can take out most targets with relative ease. Thanks to her Armorpin Dagger, she can even breach the defenses of Armored units.

Dagger 7 encourages her to go after clusters of enemies with an ally close behind. Thanks to her passives, Cath performs best with nearby buddies so that she can use Reposition on them, which gives her a boost to ATK/RES/SPD. After Dagger 7 activates, nearby enemies will have their DEF and RES lowered, setting them up to be finished by Cath’s counterattack or her allies.

In short, take advantage of Cath’s abilities by sending her straight into the fray. As long as she has some backup, she can easily take out groups of enemies with her passives and weapon ability.
