Well, just won 4 out of 5 matches earlier with my still R6 Cata against R7s. I think I’m on my way up there. Wahaha just kidding.
Team Battle is super fun.

Well, catas are useful in there, but their utility needs some cooperation.
As a cata, everything happens too fast lol you get buffs, run like hell, impale pick-up someone and come back. You’d expect the team to kill the skewered enemy ASAP, but they’re too focused on their next move to see you proudly carrying your prey. And impale deals close to no damage by itself.
A cata can go and knock back a couple with a well timed earth wave, but no real finisher moves. You can maybe use stabbing on a cc’d enemy but that’s also extremely rare.
It’ll be hard for Cataphracts to rank highly, but having them in your team isn’t bad unless they’re too squishy.
@Biskee I could only go once, and had to hurry back from work for it lol, do record next time, I want to learn from all catas 
Are you low CON?
I feel like a total newb, I see a lot of things are “equalized” in there , but how far does it go? Stats? Eq? Level? ¯＼(ツ)/¯
I haven’t even picked up impale yet and my E. Wave is still lv.12 because I decided to max Trot ASAP for fast questing. I was just curious how Team Battle League would be (earlier was my first time too to get into it).
In my experience, knockback is your real weapon here and just assist your allies. You’ll also be the chaser when enemies try to run away e.g. on low hp or skills are on CD.
If I land my E. Wave or Doom Spike right that I knockback at least 3, I follow up with Rush when I can. Rush is most effective when both Restrain and P. Barrier is up, strikes fear in the heart of enemy archers hahaha (usually has the lowest of HP except SRs) except scouts (damn cloaking).
Double Slash surprisingly dishes good damage especially when enemy’s bleeding (which happens a lot lol), almost always crits (I only have 90-ish DEX right now) and you can use it while jumping around. Crazy.
Bash for insta-KD but you need to be correctly facing the opponent.
DPS isn’t bad at all, and I’m excited for what Dragoon C1 and C2 can add to the arsernal (maybe Dethrone stacks with Restrain? XD great opener!). I think the finishers will be in the Dragoon circles.
Just keep moving around, never stay in one place for more than a sec or two, and use the whole stadium to you and your team’s advantage. Annoy the other team so that they’d try to focus on you (but don’t get caught!), allowing your team to position themselves better. Protect your mages and healer!
I have an opening routine which seems to work more than half the time, and you’ll probably discover your most effective own. Also, consider what your team can do as knocking an enemy back might negatively impact their effectiveness.
I will try to record when I can. I just didn’t earlier because it was my first time and I thought I might look super noob lmao. I have 40 CON right now but might add more later on if I see fit.
It seems everyone’s leveled up/down to 200 (my cata is only 182), not sure about how stats are distributed. I haven’t noticed/checked but some say equip upgrades/enhancements are nulled. The only advantage I guess is when you’ve maxed out or have all the necessary skills and attributes for the max rank of your class (R7 right now).

lolwut? catagoon is the most OP swordie in pvp… trot-rush-perma stun lock back and forth. moreover they have impaler, just kidnap an enemy and put them on top ur party magic circle/owls/ets and watch them die.
My cata dopel was around rank 30 for a few moment. Then ran into 4 clerics teams 3 times in a row which send me all the way pass rank 200. Shrug.
I think ppl assume im not a cata though. With the doppel symbol and all.

Interesting. Are you Cata3 Dopel specifically? I’m considering that build as an option if I ever go Lancer and would love to know your reason for going with that build as well.
On a different note, I’ve had a match where only our PD was left against 3 (or 4?) enemies. He/she was able to take down 1 (or 2?) of them and resu’ed my cata and we finished them off. lmao comeback is real!

Yes cat3dopel. Main reason is cyclone for pvp. Two finishers instead of one make the build alot more lethal and flexible.
Also level faster with mission.
My hp drop when entering. I can get more from feeding pet, but cleric dont heal u up and pet likely to die if u die and loose all stamina… So i just go cheap and not feed.
Pretty sure stat take what u have and reduce %. My str go down too, and it is first stat i reach satifactory level.

I think there might be some problem with impaler. Team mate almost never atk impaled target unless it is last person alive. Maybe others dont see it when impale not in their screen? Like off screen meteor.
But honestly, targets i want to impale the most generally is immune to it… Them clerics…
You have to unmount to use Cyclone right?
@Chakri_Griffindor @fhonghwong The trick to impaler is to bring the impaled target inside your team’s offensive AoE and/or magic circle. I kinda hate not being able to use other skills though so it’s really situational.
