Catherina's Elemental Weakness and Resistance remains the same all throughout the three fights.
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
Protagonist
|
The Protagonist serves as the main spellcaster, initially equipped with the Mage Archetype and later transitioning to the Wizard Archetype to continuously exploit Catherina's weakness to Fire. |
Strohl
|
Equip Strohl with the Warrior Archetype or, in later battles, the Swordmaster Archetype to maximize damage output in all three encounters. |
Hulkenberg
|
Hulkenberg will take on the role of your Knight, later becoming a Magic Knight. She will tank damage with Knight's Proclamation while using Synthesis Skills for maximum offensive power. |
Heismay
|
Heismay will not be available during the first battle, but he will be invaluable in the next two. Equip him as a Swordmaster or Brawler to deal significant damage while inheriting a Bot skill from a Mage Archetype to exploit Catherina's weakness. |
Best Party and Team Composition
| Archetype | Recommended Skills |
|---|---|

・Bot

|
Since you will face Catherina three times on different occasions, it’s best to level up your Archetypes between battles to keep pace with her increasing strength.
A Wizard is ideal for exploiting Catherina's weakness to Fire, while the rest of your squad, comprising a Swordmaster, Magic Knight, and Brawler, can focus on offense to deal significant damage.
| How to Beat Catherina the Bounty Queen |
|---|
|
|

Since Catherina is weak to Fire, it’s essential for your other characters, besides the Protagonist, to inherit Fire skills from the Mage or Wizard Archetypes.

The best strategy is to have Hulkenberg tanking all damage from Catherina's single-target attacks.
Meanwhile, focus on either healing Hulkenberg or dealing maximum damage to Catherina.

When you hit Catherina with Fire Skills and exploit her weakness, she will fall, leaving her vulnerable to your next attacks.
Use this opportunity to unleash powerful Synthesis Skills!

You will encounter Catherina three times in total, and she will grow stronger with each battle. However, that doesn't mean you won't improve as well.
For each encounter, apply the same strategy, and eventually, Catherina will cease her attempts to engage you in future battles and concede.
