Best Katalina Build

DPS Build

For those aiming to conquer the battlefield with ice spells, Katalina in Granblue Fantasy: Relink has a solid DPS build. While she might not top the charts in damage compared to some characters with faster cooldowns and heavy-hitting skills, she can certainly hold her own in combat.

Weapon: Murgleis

Our recommended weapon for this build is Murgleis. Like other DPS characters, it provides a flat attack increase that improves as you level up the weapon. Enhance her Crit Damage by adding specific Wrightstones, tailoring the build to the stats you feel she needs the most.

Katalina’s Ares gauge sets her apart, filling up as you engage in combat. Her skills become more potent when Ares is summoned, gaining additional effects. Prioritize summoning Ares and then activate skills for maximum damage. Recommended skills include:

• Winter’s Rain
