Build Notes

Catcher — endgame support

Rank #2

The endgame support build turns Catcher into a durable defensive support that can heal and buff allies. Former Finery scales his shields and adds a reactive heal, while the Frontiers set shortens his Combo Skill cooldown and provides a team damage amplifier. This build maximizes his ability to protect and empower Physical teams, making him a solid choice for extended battles.

Former Finery is chosen for its synergy with Catcher’s scaling: Will boosts his DEF through Resilient Defense, and the heal effect keeps allies alive.

The Frontiers set amplifies his support by lowering crucial Timely Suppression cooldown and providing a team‑wide DMG buff when he recovers SP via Rigid Interdiction.

For alternatives, OBJ Heavy Burden gives massive DEF for stronger shields and is easier to obtain, while Seeker of Dark Lung boosts ATK and ultimate gain if you prefer more damage.

Former Finery provides massive Will and HP, enabling stronger shields via his DEF conversion talent.
The weapon heals protected operators whenever they take damage, improving team sustain.
Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown and grants a team damage buff after using Battle Skill, perfect for support.

Catcher — early game support

Best in Slot

The early game build focuses on straightforward stat boosts to make Catcher tankier and his shields more effective. OBJ Heavy Burden and the Armored MSGR set provide a solid foundation of HP, DEF, and damage reduction, ensuring he can survive and protect allies while working towards his endgame setup.

OBJ Heavy Burden is the early free‑to‑play option that directly amplifies Catcher’s shield strength by increasing DEF, especially after using Textbook Assault.

Armored MSGR gear boosts his primary and secondary stats (Strength and Will), which both improve his durability, and the low‑HP damage reduction helps bridge the gap before his shields activate.

If you lack OBJ Heavy Burden, Quencher is a decent alternative that raises Will and provides an ATK increase when finishing off enemies.

OBJ Heavy Burden offers a large DEF boost whenever Catcher applies Knocked Down or Weakened, synergizing with his ultimate.
The Armored MSGR set adds Strength and Will, and grants damage reduction when HP is low, fitting his conditional sustain.
