Recruit

Plan

On Cai's route, Catania requires support level 3 with her and renown level 10 to be recruited.

Part I, chapter 1
Give Catania a liked gift every in-game week from the first free-time window and pair it with shared meals, arena training, temple service, theatre or thermae whenever they are available, building towards roughly three support-raising actions per required support level.† unverified
Part I, chapter 1
Prioritise quests from the start of the route, clearing Cai's specialised Kindness Quests as soon as they appear each week, alongside main-story progress, divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues, to build towards renown level 10.† unverified

Research notes

Give Catania a liked gift every in-game week from the first free-time window and pair it with shared meals, arena training, temple service, theatre or thermae whenever they are available, building towards roughly three support-raising actions per required support level. Why: Satisfies the 3S component of Catania's Cai-route gate, which is her own support level with the player, raised by weekly gifts and shared activities.
Prioritise quests from the start of the route, clearing Cai's specialised Kindness Quests as soon as they appear each week, alongside main-story progress, divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues, to build towards renown level 10. Why: Satisfies the 10R component of Catania's Cai-route gate, since quests are the largest single renown source and Kindness Quests are Cai's route-specific renown quest type.

Missing plan details

no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Cai's route, so the chapter at which renown level 10 is reached cannot be stated
no support-points-per-action or points-per-support-rank figures found anywhere in the source material, so the per-level action budget is a pacing assumption only

Recommended class path

Gladiator → Myrmidon → Shido → Sword Master

Game8's tier list says she is easy to train as a Shido, and her own Game8 character page lists Gladiator, Myrmidon, Shido, Swordmaster, so the guide uses that line. Game8's separate class overview instead gives Ornius Rider, Armored Ornius Rider, Caladrius, Celestial Trooper.

Personal ability

Punishing Squall: If AS ≥ foe's AS+3, grants Hit+20 during combat.

Guide rating 3 out of 5 stars◇ our recommendation: this guide's own judgement, not a sourced fact Solid Hit+20 when it applies, but needs a real Speed lead over the foe to trigger at all. Rate it yourself

Level 20: Wind My Friend: If AS is greater than or equal to foe's AS+5, grants Atk+3 during combat.
Level 35: Wind My Friend+: If AS ≥ foe's AS+5, grants Atk+3, and if AS ≥ foe's AS+8, grants Avo+20 during combat.

Story and profile

Who they are

Catania is a mercenary in Dagsion who once served a noble and lost everything after an incident around 1444. Money is tight, but she covers it with a confident manner. She wants the best of everything, whether goods, meals or the people she keeps around her, and she works at making a name for herself and at gathering information. She enjoys fighting strong opponents.

Catania starts as a Commoner and is fast and accurate: Speed growth is 55% and Dexterity 50%, with Charm at 45%. Punishing Squall gives Hit+20 when her attack speed is at least 3 above her foe's, so she is at her best against slower targets. Her weak points are damage and bulk, with Strength at 35%, Defence at 30% and HP at 35%. She also learns Physic at White Magic rank B. The guide rates her A and uses the line from her Game8 character page: Gladiator, Myrmidon, Shido, Sword Master. She likes Flier, Spear and Sword skills and avoids Heavy.

She joins in Part 1 and is recruited automatically on Leda's route.
