GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink Demo - Katalina Rock Golem Single Player S++ Rank (2:22)
238Since people asked for a Katalina video, here it is. Didn't manage to get no damage this time and honestly she doesn’t feel like a character designed to not take damage since her main source of damage, the Ares coordinated triangle combo is all about using its super-armor property to soak up hits as she continues to do damage. Anyway, hopefully this is a decent showcase of how Katalina works in Relink.
Essentially, Katalina has a Ares gauge that can be filled half a bar at a time, her combo finishers (triangle attack) can all be used to fill her gauge a varying amount depending on which one you use. Interestingly enough, after using Enchanted Lands and Frozen Blade skills, you can also do a follow-up triangle attack to fill Ares' gauge, remember this, it'll be important later. Personally my favorite ways to do this are the following ones:
1. the 1 square into 1 triangle combo since it has the least amount of recovery at the end allowing you to go immediately into your next combo
2. the 3 square into 1 triangle combo since it cover the most amount of ground when you need to chase something down while still building your gauge
3. the full combo that fills the bar exactly half way as long as you land the last 2 attacks in the string
4. the triangle follow-up to Enchanted Lands and Frozen Blade I've mentioned, it gives almost half a bar so you can fill the rest with another 1 square into 1 triangle combo
Once your Ares gauge is full, the next time you do the following action Ares will be summoned: Link attack, any combo finisher that use the triangle button, any of her skills, and her SBA and this is where things start to get interesting. With Ares summoned, normally he'll disappear after doing one coordinated action, however, if your next action is also one that'd trigger coordination from Ares, Ares will continue to stay on the field and thus prolonging Ares's field time without having to fill the gauge again. This brings us to the next point, Katalina's main source of damage, her Ares coordinated triangle attack combo.
When Ares is on the field, Katalina has access to a long coordinated triangle attack combo that gives her super armor while her feet are touching the ground when she's doing the attack animation, however you cannot follow-up a coordinated triangle combo with the same combo, and here's where Enchanted Lands (also seems to gain some super armor while Ares is summoned) and Frozen Blade become especially useful, remember how I said these two skills can be followed up with a triangle attack? This also works when Ares is on the field, this means you can use these two skill to extend your Ares duration by going back into another set of coordinated triangle combo. So as an example, your Ares combo can look like this.
Enchanted Lands - T(triangle) finisher - 1S(square) 1T(this bring your gauge to half) - full S combo into T(this gives you full gauge) - link attack(this now summons Ares) - Coordinated T combo - Frozen Blade - Coordinated T combo - Enchanted Lands - Coordinated T combo - Light Wall(this doesn't lead into another T combo so you must use another skill that can) - Frozen Blade - Coordinated T combo...and so forth.
Anyway, I hope this helps with people looking to get into playing Katalina! Enjoy the game!
