HOW TO BUILD THE MOST OP KATALINA BUILD IN GRANBLUE FANTASY: RELINK

so you've decided that now is the time to try Catalina you've heard about the Ridiculousness or you've seen the flashiness of this character how do you play Catalina well first and foremost to be clear this is definitely a character that has a higher skill ceiling there's a lot of specific Tech or hidden Tech that you kind of need to learn but I will be including a number of ways that you can maximize your damage things that you should look out for and pretty much things that you should be kind of looking for to make the best Catalina build that you can possibly build now before I get any deeper with the guide in case you just wanted to have a quick infographic or a quick guide as to how to play the character I will be including an infographic tied to this video in the description so feel free to skip to that or just use that if you want I'll also be including a short or a guide to kind of explain briefly what you need to do or the things that you need to care about when it comes to playing Catalina properly so first things first let's talk about the weapon as always there isn't much debate on whether or not the Terminus weapon is the best because ultimately it gives you damage cap and it gives you everything you kind of get the idea but something that I've kind of seen go back and forth about whether or not it's worth it or not worth it is whether you should actually just keep luminera the sword Omega aka the critical hit rate and the critical hit damage weapon or if you should actually upgrade the Ascension weapon get that extra damage cap initially and have to invest some resources early just so you can beat up Bahamut faster long story short though it's pretty much preference if you don't want to venture online to see if you can find people that have better weapons with protom mahamed and they can kind of clear you through or beat the content easier for you you probably will end up needing to awaken your weapon or play much better with the critical hit rate and critical damage weapon that being said though guys it's not that big a deal if you want to upgrade all these weapons because outside of the Awakening you're going to need to 150 all of these weapons in order to get the max masteries anyways okay now here's kind of the interesting thing about Catalina skills I am going to go a little bit out order just in terms of what I think is kind of important and the first thing that I do kind of think is important here is actually a Zur sword summons Aries to attack foes in front of Catalina and temporarily maxes out the Aries gauge now if you're familiar with Catalina's game plan just in general what you're trying to do is get Aries out and all of your skills your damage your heavy attack everything gets enhanced once Aries is out on the field and in scenarios where you don't want to have to build up too much of a combo or have to do a bunch of things to build up your gauge to then get Aries unlocked Azure sword is a great kind of cheat skip the line get Aries out instantly and then kind of do your damage if the skill is not on cool down there are definitely arguments to be made about the skills that you may trade out for something like an evasion skill or something for defensive or something for a crowd control and Azure sword technically speaking if you're really good at activating your combo is one of these skills that you could potentially change but ultimately just given how much flexibility you have and how easy it is to get into the aies spamming phase of your DPS rotation specifically with the skill 99.99% of the time I would not recommend getting rid of this skill okay so the next skill that we have is frozen blade and although there are a couple of characters in the game that have really interesting or very impactful range skills while still being melee Catalina actually utilizes the skill very well because it lets you prolong Aries as gauge especially if you're not trying to do one of the tricks that allows you to keep Aries up 24/7 more on that later though and although I did kind of hype up the skill to be pretty good because again you have two charges of it and that lets you prolong how long Aries stays on the field this is actually the skill that if you want to get crowd control if you want to add glaciate sacred wind Etc you would probably give up this skill so that you can bypass phases deal more damage coordinate with the team Etc and again the way that skill works is that you throw out a range attack and you do have two charges which again does let you prolong Aries a little bit longer but the damage is not as important compared to some of the other skills or just spamming your heavy attack when Aries is out so in general if you want crowd control remove this skill winter rain is kind of your bread and butter when it comes to damage alongside your heavy attacks just because this skill not only gives you a decent amount of stun it also does pretty good damage there isn't really much to say about the skill in all honesty there are a couple of skills that in every single Grand blue character's I guess kit they're pretty much just the damage skill it leads into a combo finisher it's kind of your damage filler that does a lot of damage assuming that you have skill up or Max damage cap because of how well it pairs into the combo booster as well and the fact that as it reer it provides you a decent amount of stun power this is pretty much a Mainstay skill that you likely won't be changing that often unless again you want to just try out something different but the last and final skill that I also think is pretty important and pretty much a non-negotiable in terms of whether or not you keep it is Enchanted lands now I will go a little bit more in depth with it once I get to sigils but I do want to make a warning that although this is a decent skill that does decent damage this is one of the most difficult and most ridiculous scaling skills I've ever seen in terms of trying to hit damage cap if you can believe it or not it is actually more difficult to cap damage on this specific skill than it is to actually cap on your SBA gauge skill which is absolutely mind-blowing because a lot of people can run stuff like combo booster they can have stuff like stamina and tyranny all in the same build and still not cap spba if you try to do the same math and see how close you are to capping with Enchanted lands you are never going to pretty much go above 50% cap which is already an insane number to hit for cap in terms of how much damage you could get from this ability on average with all damage sigils and things like that you are averaging anywhere between 15 to 30% potential damage cap on the skill in other words it's kind of not worth it to try and skill cap the skill especially since you're going to overcap all your other damage skills by upwards of 80 90 even maybe 100% in order to get 30 40 50% on Enchanted lands on the topic of skills damage and caps let's talk about her masteries now the interesting about this character is that unlike other characters where you may end up wanting something like uh SBA damage or you might want flat attack to sort a cap this character can actually gain a lot just from giving yourself skill damage up which is actually a stark contrast to most characters that which will accept something like normal cap damage crit and also just skill up damage in general because they probably hit the cap but unlike these other characters characters like Catalina or vaseraga actually need a lot of help either through their masteries or by using stuff like combo booster to even cap out some of their skills what you're actually looking for is critical hit rate normal attack damage cap up either again SBA damage or skill damage up and then something like a skill damage cap up if you really want to unlock the potential of your other skills which I guess will technically also widen the gap between you actually being able to cap your Enchanted lands and like where you are originally long story short it's pretty much a same as every other damage build but you can also slot into skill damage if you want to try and hit the damage cap on your skills okay now Catalina is another kind of interesting case when it comes to sigils primarily because like I mentioned before it is kind of difficult to cap on skills formerly my guide on L slight was kind of nice in terms of building him just because he has pretty low damage cap ceilings so for most cases especially if you weren't using flight over fight all you would need to do is pretty much just have stamina and tyranny and You' hit the cap but for Catalina you actually do kind of need to fit a stamina a tyranny and a combo booster if you want to max out how much damage potential you can have that being said though if you want to foro something like the final combo booster just keep stamina and tyranny and give yourself something like Stout heart and steel nerves just so you can kind of ignore boss mechanics and also knock at one shot it is worth mentioning that this is a pretty viable way to play as well now you could argue that you don't need Stout heart but in all honesty since you actually lose Aries or Aries despawns if you dodge at any point it kind of makes more sense for you to have Stout heart so that in case you want to just kind of chug through or power through a hit and kind of just potion through it this allows you to do that now of course this doesn't excuse you from getting one shot so keep that in mind but again in general Stout heart is really really strong because it doesn't let foes interrupt you and ultimately that's kind of the name of the game especially when you don't have access or you aren't as inclined to start dodging or rolling outside of this we can talk about the right Stone and kind of the different sigil that I have I have a right stone with 10 crit which is really important because it lets me hit the 100 crit rate but then something that I also think is kind of important especially with characters that are melee and get a lot of hits off is actually managing to find a right Zone that not only has crit but also as Cascade the three critical hit damage here doesn't really do much for me but in terms of everything that else that I have it's reach your damage cap and for me I find it easiest to do this through stamina and tyranny combo booster is also obviously ideal if you can afford it but it's not actually that easy to fit all the things that I have on screen here you'd probably have to give up like something like one of your traits or you'd have to give up something like Stoute heart again I prefer the crowd control immunity or not being able to get interrupted by the boss a lot of the bosses move around anyways which makes it equally as annoying so for me what I like to do is again we'll get into a little later I like to do a little bit of the Aries dropping tricks or the Aries like stalling tricks so I don't have to do any rolling and kind of just move along with the boss but aside from that very typical you have supplementary damage you have War Elemental and then sigil booster is usually more than enough to compensate for any missing traits or anything anything that you're missing otherwise if you were for some reason going to give up one of the traits I don't know if I would really recommend it now again decreasing Catalina's skill cooldowns when Aries is summoned pretty invaluable obviously cuz you want to be able to use your skills your dashes your stuns Etc and with guardians conviction you can't really give up supplementary damage especially when supplementary damage is kind of the name of the game and finally if you're wondering if you could take away or get rid of a steel neres you kind of can't because again this is a secondary or this is not a damage sigil and what you would honestly looking for is another damage sigil or trait to kind of give you more damage but again I don't really have anything or I don't really have any more room for it in my build maybe you guys can find the room for it though let me know in the comment section below now before we go any further I do want to address something that I was kind of talking about earlier about dropping Aries or maintaining Aries up time and essentially what I'm referring to is the blue Knight that spawns that increases your damage and kind of revolves or is kind of the main revolving gameplay aspect when it comes to Catalina now if you've read any of Catalina skills even for a moment you'll see that a lot of her skills reads deals more hits or deals more damage when attacking with Aries and so therefore Aries or maintaining Aries or keeping Aras on the battlefield is extremely important now I am going to go into the exact gameplay Loop and again what exactly you should be doing and kind of the tricks that I use to keep him on the field but to refresh your memory before we get into it dodging drops Aries or forces him to despawn if you miss or take too much time in between your attacks or any of your abilities while you're fighting with Aries that also spawns him and the Very obvious one if you end up getting one shot or you end up getting downed he also just disappears off the field okay now again to be clear the general game plan when it comes to looping and the general gameplay Loop that you're going to play when it comes to Catalina is again keeping Aries out so as you can see here when you press four he does a bit of an attack and he also shows up but after a few seconds if nothing has been queued up he disappears so again if you're curious something you can do if you want to prevent how long the initial startup is for a aure sword you can actually Dodge straight out of it there is a faster way of doing it but for me I actually do like again dodging towards the enemy or I do like dodging in general and again this lets you continue the string and that's kind of what will set off all your Aries skills and you don't really have to worry too too much about whether or not Aries is going to stay alive now if you take a look at a clip here I will explain what's basically going on and that's that there is an Aries uptime trick where essentially once you have Aries out what all that you have to do is continue your heavy attack at the end of one of your heavy attacks when you swing into the air with Aries and it looks like you're about to come down and you would normally do something like your pack strike or prolong the combo what you actually do is let your combo drop and what you instead do is let yourself fall from the ground and what you instead try to do is an attack into a lunge now to be clear the comboing of this and the inputs are really really precise but if you do it properly what you'll see is you can actually just keep Aras up permanently because the final input that you register doesn't technically count as an input or it allows you to just prolong and it considers it another combo it is a bit complex and I will link in the description a couple of the other videos of the guys that I've seen about how to prolong Catalina's combo long story short though make sure to keep some of these Aries uptime tricks in mind because ultimately that is the difference between someone that is doing 30 million damage on Catalina and someone that is only doing something like 20 something that you could also Implement into your game plan although it's kind of kind of goofy and kind of Jank depending on what kind of fight you're doing is that actually the skill winter rain can be canceled quite early and you could actually do a little bit of a hop or a bit of a and not have your winter reain skill go on cool down as you can see with the winter reain if you cancel it just in time it doesn't actually go on cool down and it does actually give you a little bit of a boost now ultimately guys there are like a thousand different things that you can do to increase the damage cap of certain things like you could have pack strike be canceled by link strikes or link attacks and then have the damage cap of certain skills be transferred onto other skills but a lot of that is very very situational and it is very dependent on the boss the execution and whether or not you can even find a place for that to happen in a fight but with everything that I've shown you guys today with Catalina you should have a very good grasp of how to play the character and ultimately I hope to see more of you guys online because honestly I really like the glaad I really like the way that the character looks and honestly it also helps that she does you know pretty good damage if you know how to play her that is going to be it for this video though guys I hope you enjoyed or you learned something if you did make sure to like comment turn the notification Bell subscribe let me know what you think about the kind of guide structure of this if you think anything should get changed if I pr mispronounced character because honestly that that does happen sometimes thank you so much for watching I appreciate it make sure to check out the rest of my socials I stream this game uh both on Twitch and YouTube so if you're curious about seeing what's up or if you have any questions for me feel free to ask questions there as well I'll see you guys on the next one I'll see you on the next one thank you so much for watching [Music] adios
