⚠️
Watch outDon't get greedy. Katress's Dark attacks hit harder than they look, and it punishes you for standing still.

Strategy

How to Beat Katress

Best counters

Katress is Dark, so lead with Dragon damage and you'll carve through its health bar fast. Reliable picks: Jetragon, Astegon. Pack a bow or firearm too — poking from outside its attack range beats trading hits up close.

Fight plan

  1. Gear and level check. Be around level 23+ with a ranged weapon, and a stack of decent spheres if you want to catch it.
  2. Exploit the weakness. Send in your Dragon Pal and keep its skills on cooldown — that's where the real damage comes from.
  3. Stay mobile. Kite in a wide circle, dodge the wind-ups, and never get cornered against the terrain.
  4. Capture or finish. For the catch, chip it under ~20% HP then chain spheres during recovery windows. Just farming? Delete it — it respawns on the usual timer.
