Обновлено: 05.07.2024
Cathy is relatively new to the roster of Eternal Return: Black Survival. However, her strong skill attacks combined with quick reflexes have already made her one of the most popular characters.
This article will discuss her skills, build options, playing guide, duo and squad gameplay options, and her strengths and weaknesses. Let’s start this discussion by exploring the passive, QWER, and weapon skills of Cathy.
Table of Contents
Cathy’s Skills
Under the Knife – Passive
The passive skill of Cathy has two effects. Firstly, she applies a wound on her targets when she damages them. This wound deals damage over time. This wound stacks. Once five stacks are reached, enemies become severely wounded. This deals ticking damage proportional to their max HP, and increases the critical strike damage Cathy deals to them.
And secondly, Cathy gains a defensive shield once she casts her skill attacks. She also gains increased movement speed for a few seconds as an effect of her passive skill. The cooldown time for Cathy’s passive skill is 16-20 seconds, but dealing critical hits reduces this cooldown.
Double Bypass – Q
This skill will allow Cathy to dash towards her opponents and cause damage. She quickly charges in a given direction and wounds her opponents with a blade attack. If you manage to hit your opponents, Cathy’s Q skill’s cooldown will reduce by 80%. The actual cooldown for Cathy’s Q skill is 10-12 seconds, and the SP cost is 50-90.
Amputation – W
Cathy unleashes her saw in a given direction and deals damage to nearby opponents. Besides damage, she also reduces her targets’ movement speeds and grounds them for a few seconds. The cooldown time for this skill attack is 12-16 seconds, and the SP cost is 70-90.
Suture – E
The Suture skill attack is very handy with the rooting effect. Enemies can also be stunned by this skill attack. Cathy throws her Suture thread in a given direction and ties her opponents for a few seconds. The best part is that the directed thread can pass through a target and hit enemies behind the first target. The cooldown for this skill is 16-24 seconds, and the SP cost is 70.
Emergency Surgery – R
The ultimate skill Cathy has two effects. The passive one is ideal for duo or squad games where you can heal your downed ally. The active result of Emergency Surgery is more like a teleporting skill attack. She will pass through her opponents and deal a fair amount of damage. The cooldown time for Cathy’s ultimate skill is 90-150 seconds, which is relatively high; whereas, the SP cost is 120- 150.
Cloak and Dagger – D (Dagger)
This weapon skill will make Cathy invisible for a few seconds. It enables Cathy to become transparent and increase her movement speed for 4 seconds. Besides, this weapon skill also allows a dagger effect in the next Normal attack. The dagger effect will enable Cathy to teleport herself behind enemies and cause critical damage. The cooldown for this skill is 45 seconds.
Skill Leveling Order
Passive> R> Q> W> E
Cathy’s passive skill is strong and convenient, and we recommend you maximize it first. Once you do that, the ultimate skill is our second choice. After that, all the reaming abilities, i.e., Q, W, and E, have equal wattage. You can tweak with this order in the last three skills if you want. This skill order is the same for both the builds we are mentioning below.
Cathy’s Builds
Vibroblade Cathy Build
Cathy build with Vibroblade; Saved Plan ID 331701
This build provides enhanced attack power and effective critical strike damage. Most of the items are well suited for this purpose. All you need to do is to capitalize on the opportunity of finishing your weapon quickly.
The two-zoner weapon build-up option is crucial to this build’s success. Overall, it is an instrumental build designed for different gameplay options. You should surely try out this build and see if it works for you.
Desired route for this build:
Chapel> Factory> Cemetery> Hospital> Dock
This build has a five-zoner route. The two-zoner weapon is always a bonus point in the variety of builds. Usually, the Factory zone is a bit competitive, and you may find your rivals in this zone. However, starting from the Chapel zone is always welcoming.
Try to finish the Vibroblade as quickly as possible. You can then be aggressive for the remaining three zones. The first four zones are closer to each other; you would barely take much time to collect all the items required. However, going from the fourth zone to the final is a bit longer if you opt not to take the teleporter. Be careful to run into Jackie or Rozzi in the process, as they may clash with you between Hospital and Dock zones.
Auto-Attack Cathy Build
ENAD build for Cathy; Saved Plan ID 331706
Secondly, you can try this Extra-Normal Attack Damage (ENAD) oriented build with Carnwennan as the primary weapon. Most of the build items will add attack power, attack speed, and ENAD. Overall, it is a suitable option to try this build for solo and team gameplay. You should try this build if you prefer Carnwennan over Vibroblade as your primary weapon choice.
Desired route for this build:
Chapel> Cemetery> Hospital> Beach> Dock
Like the first build, this one also has a Chapel zone start, an ideal choice for the slow starters. The first three zones are closer to each other; however, you may have to go a bit further to find items from the final two zones.
Like our first suggested build, this one also has a two-zoner weapon build-up. It will help you to get into a strong position quickly and kill your opponents. A five-zoner build route with only the first two zones to go through for weapon is always a welcoming option, and this build will provide you that option.
How to Play Cathy
The melee assassin is a powerful character with quick skill attacks. Cathy can take on any opponent once she has gained enough items. She is naturally an aggressive player with an offensive skillset. Following skill guides will help you master this character and dominate Lumia Island.
Passive Skill Guide
The passive skill of Cathy is pretty handy. This skill has many uses, as mentioned above. Your strategy should be to wound your opponents with the Normal attacks of Cathy critically. Once you gain the five stacks, enemies will bleed and take severe damage.
Moreover, the defensive shield gained due to the passive skill effects is also strong. It will surely help you when you are fighting against more than one enemy. Using the skills of Cathy will provide you a defensive option with a shield. You can then play aggressively without worrying too much about the offensive attacks of your opponents.
Q Skill Guide
The Double Bypass move is pretty handy to close down gaps between your opponents. It will enable Cathy to reach her opponents quickly and wound them. We recommend to use this skill only when you are sure you will hit your opponent with it. In this way, you would be able to get the reduced cooldown.
Moreover, this skill has an extra effect if you use it for the nearest enemies. However, this skill also has a 3-meter attack range, and you can target your opponents within this range.
W Skill Guide
This cone slash attack of Cathy is ideal for close-range targets. You can use this skill attack to deal damage, slow your opponents, and ground them for 1 second. The grounding effect of the Amputation attack is convenient, and enemies cannot use mobility skills.
The W skill is perfect against players with a dash, like Jackie. Because of the grounding effect, they will not be able to use their skills to jump away from you.
E Skill Guide
This skill is convenient, especially in duo or squad gameplays. You can tie more than one enemy with a single shot if you manage to use the E button accurately.
Try to use this skill near a wall if you are in solo gameplay. In this way, enemies will be stunned, and you can then launch other skill attacks to deal extra damage. The attack range is also good, i.e., 5 meters, so you can target your enemies by standing a bit farther as well.
R skill Guide
The ultimate skill Cathy has multiple uses. You can severely damage your opponents and also heal yourself with this skill attack. Cathy can even pierce through walls with this skill, which is very handy running away from dominating opponents or charging animals.
Cathy’s ultimate skill damage is based on the missing HP of your opponents and causes severe wounds. You can also use this skill attack after the Q skill to reduce Double Bypass’s cooldown time by 80%.
We recommend using this skill attack as your killing blow. Once you are in a fight, use this skill at the end of your attack combos. Once you do that, you will have a fair chance of knocking your opponents down.
Weapon Skill Guide (Dagger)
Cathy barely misses a teleporting skill. This dagger skill will enable her to deal damage as well as run away from her opponents. You can use it both defensively as well as with an offensive mindset.
Teams and Match-ups for Cathy
Cathy’s skills, such as her E and R skills, are convenient for both duo and squad gameplay. It also proves her viability to come to the rescue of her teammates. She can fit with many players. Her aggressive gameplay will surely help players with lesser mobility. Following are some of the suitable options for her duo and squad gameplay.
Duo gameplay
Keeping Cathy’s gameplay nature in mind, we highly recommend you keep either Jackie or Rozzi in your duo team. The dagger weapon of both Jackie and Cathy would keep you and your teammate close to each other. Besides weapon similarity, both players have an aggressive attitude and can tear apart their opponents with ease.
However, Rozzi uses a pistol, and we have recommended the Brazilian mercenary because of her skillsets. She can also unleash long-ranged skill shots with fierce mobility.
Squad gameplay
For squad gameplay options, Cathy can fit with Rozzi, Aya, Magnus, and Jackie. It would help if you keep either Rozzi or Aya, but do not go for them both simultaneously. At the same time, Magnus is a compelling character with defensive skills as well.
This squad composition can win you games against the majority of players. However, it would help if you still were careful against Chiara, Sissela, and Isol. Other than these, you should stand a good chance in most of the squad games.

Pyromaniac – Passive
The 21-year old Mexican lady’s passive ability allows her to set enemies aflame. Adriana can set fire to the path of enemies with a pyromaniac strike. Enemies who enter the flaming ground take damage over time. Additionally they receive a significant reduction to their move speed of 30% – making the fiery patch hard to escape for many characters.
Moreover, she recovers SP recoveres 0.5% to 1.5% SP per second while having an active fire, whether an enemy is burned by it or not. Something about killing two birds with a single stone – right?
You can use these fire patches to damage enemies, to block off certain paths or escape routes, or to zone out the rest of the enemy squad while focusing down your opponent.
Flamethrower – Q
If you feel your enemy may escape the Pyromaniac attack, try the Q skill— Flamethrower. This iconic fiery frontal attack deals true damage, meaning it ignores your enemies defenses.
It’s effective against both other characters as well as animals, and has a range of up to 6 meters.
Oil Slick – W
Adriana’s W-skill allows her to place oil slicks on the ground. She can throw the slicks up to the range of 12 meters. These oil slicks can be ignited by setting the opponent on fire. Characters passing through Oil Slick get their running speed slowed by around 30%.

Adriana’s E, Fire Escape, gives her some good mobility to move away from the sights of enemies while igniting her path (making it hard to follow her). Fire escape is one of the strongest dashes in the game, covering a distance of around 6-meter. The fire started by her escape attack lasts for 5 seconds – keeping the enemy amazed and burning.

Adriana build
Standard build for Adriana; Saved Plan ID 207845
Items needed for this build:
You need to have the following items for this build:
Route
Each player has his/her own experience of understanding routes to find out the desired target. The best practice is— to play the game and understand the character you are playing with— yourself, and find out your own route that suits you the best.
One thing you need to consider is that this game is all about timely taken moves and decisions. Each second is of great importance. Choosing the right path that saves your energy and has a lesser difficulty level is highly critical in acing this game.
To achieve the build targets, the following is the most suitable path for this character.
Avenue> School> Hotel> Forest> Beach
The safest and the quickest possible path to win with Adriana would be by starting your journey from the avenue and then moving zone by zone right until the beach area. The prime focus through this route is to achieve an early lead and find out the desired items while ensuring the least damage possible.
You need Mithril to craft the Mithril Shield; you can loot this from bears or wolves, or find it in a loot crate.
How to play this build?
The idea is to reach the maximum weapon level as soon as possible. To achieve so, you need to be quick, and try to waste the least time as possible. Avoid animal assault as much as possible until you reach the hotel.
Through this route, Adriana will be able to upgrade to a purple weapon by the third stage. Yes, you heard it right! It is a stage where most of your enemies would still have just started to fight. That is why Adriana is known for— capabilities to fully load herself and outclass her opponents by taking the lead right from the word go!
How to Play Adriana
Adriana can be one of the strongest characters in the game – if you know how to play her well. Unfortunately many players don’t know how to handle her optimally, and fail to maximize her full potential. To help you along, here is a step-by-step guide on how to make the most of Adriana.
First and Foremost: Don’t be hyper-aggressive, or you’ll run out of SP very soon
After knowing her passive & QWER attacks— you may feel like the best way to go is setting enemies on fire left and right to gain experience points. Many Adriana players start out very aggressive, using Q/Flamethrower on everything in sight and not even bothering to pick up SP regen items while looking for gear.
Don’t do this! You will run out of steam very quickly, and when you get properly attacked while you’re only half SP level, you will regret setting those level 1 chickens on fire.
Use Adriana’s abilities wisely, especially in the early game, and make sure to pick up any SP regen items that you come across.
Ability levelling & Perfect combination of attacks for Adriana
Based on the damage each attack inflicts, the correct order for leveling Adriana’s skills is Passive > R > Q > W > E. Note that the damage of your Q, W and E scales based on the level of your Pyromaniac passive.
Adriana has many options in terms of crafting her attacks. However, to gain the maximum damage and knocking your enemy down completely, you may use the following combo of moves.
1) Using Q attack with Oil slick:
Make the path of enemies oily and frictionless to reduce their speed. Add the fire of Flamethrower, and your enemies certainly have fewer options to escape. QW is a deadly combined attack, given you’ve directed the oil slicks properly. The flames set on the oily ground can engulf more than one target at the same time.
2) Combining oil slick with an explosive cocktail party
Another fatal combo of attacks is trapping the enemy with an oily surface and then launching massive explosives using R attacks. Molotov cocktails do the most damage out of all of Adriana’s abilities and are a great finishing move to get the killing blow.
3) Utilize passive attack with a spray of flames:
Flamethrower, in combination with Pyromaniac attacks, can seal the deal for you. Adriana’s skills of setting even grounds on fire are truly stunning; it’ll help a lot if you use other deadly attacks like Q skill with it.
4) Fire Escapes with Flamethrower:
Fire Escape attack is the best tool to dodge enemy attacks. Not only does Adriana move away from the eyes of opponents, but the dash also causes some fire damage. So, this escape tool becomes another means to bring enemies down when combined with the button Q. Fire Escape can also be used to chase fleeing enemies.
5) Fire Escape with Cocktail Party:
Explosive cocktails are themselves too hot to handle for enemies. However, the inflicted wound becomes even graver when used with button E. This combination is as lethal as the above four. Firstly, you need to surprise your enemies with a sharp & fiery movement using Fire Escape. Then use the Molotov Cocktail to make things worse for your opponents trapped in Adriana’s fire.
Final suggestions
- Be careful while chasing your enemies and do not let your opponent run too far, as your explosive abilities have limited range.
- Besides keeping the distance in mind, you should also be sharp at aiming. Hitting the bull’s eye is the key with almost every Eternal Return character, but this importance increases manifolds if you are playing with Adriana. If you don’t do so, you may miss your target and ultimately run out of SP level.
- Try to lure the enemy to pass through the fire by cutting off paths and escape routes.
Teams and Match-ups for Adriana
If you’re planning to play in a duo game or the squad while choosing Adriana as your character, keep the following aspects in mind:
Possible squad combinations with Adriana
Adriana is arguably a member of the dive composition. What we mean by dive characteristics is her fierce and bold attitude to take on any opponent. She dives into the face of her enemies with fire attacks, and that too without having any second thoughts. More suitable characters of her kind are Hyunwoo, Jackie, and Xiukai. So, it’d be better for you to team up with these players in order to make a squad of players with the same kind of playstyle.
Adriana’s is strong against
Adriana and her dive squad members will be able to get under the skin of players such as Sissela, Magnus, and Aya. These characters have a mix of both offensive and defensive skills, i.e., dealing damage and healing. You can surprise squads like these with a very aggresive, ultra-attacking strategy.
You need to watch out for
The most dangerous enemies for Adriana are characters that can inflict high damage on a low cooldown. Since Adriana’s abilities have quite a long cooldown, she cannot match the burst and will die before getting her own damage out. So, Adriana and her possible team members need to watch out for these types of bursty characters. Strong Adriana counters are Hyunwoo, Chiara, and Hart. These characters possess both a great deal of sustainability as well as higher damaging attacks.
