What attribute is Catcher?

Catcher is a 4-star Physical operator of the Defender class, from Endfield Industries, wielding a Great Sword, released in version 1.0.

What stat does Catcher scale on?

Catcher's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Catcher?

OBJ Heavy Burden is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star Great Sword with 411 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Industry 0.1 is the best 4-star alternative.

Which gear set should Catcher use?

Eternal Xiranite. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP +1000. After the wearer applies Amp, Protected, Susceptibility, or Weakened, other teammates gain DMG Dealt +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack. The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.

How much does it cost to max Catcher's skills?

Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 58× D96 Steel Sample 4 among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Catcher P1 do?

Multi-layered Readiness: Battle skill Rigid Interdiction and ultimate Textbook Assault improved: After hitting the enemy, deals another strike that deals [300 + DEF×5.0] of Physical DMG.
