Here's a quick tip: Reinforce a door and then place your tactical sideways, such that it travels underneath the door to the other side. This makes it so the Core of the fluid is safe behind the doors, and the enemy will be forced to take damage from the spikes when they kick the doors.
The tactical doesn’t have a time limit for you to be able to pick it up and back in your inventory. The reason you sometimes can’t pick it back into your inventory is bc the trap already detected an enemy
yeah took me a bit to figure out its not just them triggering damage they take from it but also if they just activate it by being close you cant pick it up.
Extra tips Double doors count as a 1 door not 2. Because of this you can reinforce 2 double doors or single doors Enemy catalyst walls dont blind or slow catalysts (not 100% proven) Spikes can be picked up and re-placed as long as they have not been activated by a enemy
I see a lot of people waste or misuse her ult. I think about it in two ways, either to isolate a fight/split us off from one team during a third party. Or to mask a retreat. I see a lot of people that just throw her ult randomly in a fight in the middle of a field 😂. Also her ult can go up steep drop offs if theyre the same height as her maybe a tiny bit shorter, and if youre on top a steep drop off itll go down at full height. An unblocked ult can travel at to 55m so its really good if you need a wall to block LOS to make a get away. If youre playing against an aggro team i’d also recommend doubling up the tac on the most likely avenue of approach since the stun time is weak on the tacs
As always Dazs back with a dazzling Guide 💚💚💚 Went into randoms and we played Catalyst, Caustic and Wattson. We won ; Cant even imagine the amount of **appreciation** we got from our enemies 😊😊😊😊
Also, your spikes detect an enemy nearby, and are very obvious visually and audibly. I use them on my team's flanks, so we can hear/see if an enemy if trying to flank us.
Another good tip is to place the core on the inside of a door before closing and reinforcing it. It will prevent them from destroying it while still doing damage while they try to kick the door down
The Seer heart beat has to be a bug right? Like I can see an ult maybe not countering another ult that directly but a passive beating an ult?! That's just not right
It’s seems Catalyst’s tactical will give you the charge back AS LONG AS it hasn’t been activated. This includes even if the spikes rose up, and didn’t damage anybody.
Always been like that for quite a few passives, Lifeline, Path, Ash, Mirage probably forgot someone but does it really matter? I find it way more interesting than something like Caustic, Wraith etc
When the tactical goes up you can’t get it back but if it never goes up like (deploys the spikes) say you throw it out by accident then it’ll give you one back
It seems like on apex can't really pick up things that enemies have already interacted with and store them back in your (tactical ). Watson fences are the exception I can think of. But I'm also newb
So no one gonna talk about how this is literally a buff to seer. If a catalyst throws up her ult and seer throws his ult over it… you can literally seee where people are behind the wall and shoot them without them being able to see you.. did anyone get that???
Does seer ult also work when it doesn't reach the edges of the wall? Like maybe it doesn't work if you throw it by the middle of the wall. Also, does it work in battle royale? Some ults get a bit buggy in training mode, like Newcastle's hurting him if you activate friendly fire.
Not sure if this is a bug or intended but when I was testing Bloodhound scan against the wall, after the failed scan, Catalyst was able to see Bloodhound through the wall. Again, not sure if thats a bug but if not then it seems like Catalyst is a hard counter for Bloodhound
how long does her Q last? i place it under the bot in firing range. it doesnt go away and keep dmaging the bot 15 each hits. it kills multiple bots and still hasnt gone away.
No and my God that's an insanely good point, my guess is that the reason why they don't let her do that is because she's limited to blocking 3 entrances, most People would rather block a door than a window. I still think they should've given us the choice
Seers ult should not work through her ult. I can already see Seer and Catalyst duos combining ults to easily wipe an entire squad on the other side of the wall with them having zero counter measures.
I've been playing her a lot like viper from valorant since she came out and it works extremely well the biggest tip I can give is rampart is a catalyst's best friend the catalyst wall can help rampart set up a strong defense while under no pressure and once the wall goes down they'd realise that not only was the wall protecting the rampart/catalyst from them but it was also protecting them from the catalyst/rampart except they wouldn't get a chance to think about that since they'd die from a million bullet holes in half a second if they play it badly and that's not even factoring in catalyst's other abilities just know that the more abilities you stack the less the enemies fight back
Tactical needs a nerf, 15 damage is absolutely ridiculous, not even caustic’s ult hits continuous 15’s because everyone fucking cries about it being too strong so he’s nerfed into the ground. Not to mention her tactical stays forever unless it’s destroyed. EA / Respawn loves to release broken shit every season instead of play testing and making sure it’s well balanced. 15 seasons and still no audio fixes, instead we get fucking stickers, what a joke.
I've played her for 1 day and I can tell you, you have the most basic tip ever. I could teach you a thing or 2 on how to actually use her and be better
Kind of silly to "switch off" a character after a few days lol. I mean they can judge how much fun she is, but it's way too early to know how good she is.
I generally like your videos, but I think these Noob to Pro guides right off when the new season launches are not great. There's not much informational value to these. How can you know tell 4 hours into a new season what is the best way to play a new character. No hate, just saying...
Unfortunately brand new season day 1 and all everyone is doing is cheating chasing and pulling punk chump shit they need to make a solo option cause sooner or later half the community will be gone
Bro, this was so good! Stoked to be apart of it 🎉😊
Noooob kingggg

I think that makes sense
The ult would be better if you could throw it sideways in front of you rather than starting it at the end.
I’d be surprised if they don’t adjust that to let you choose
@@thuggwaffle8825 yea like how symmetra’s ult works would be perfect
Yeah I thought it would be like that
@@djlaser5336 right. She has no mobility so having to go to a flank to place your ability is gonna be super risky in alot of fights
@@thuggwaffle8825 hopefully. She looks pretty good otherwise.
You can only pick up her Q and return the charge if it hasn’t been activated by an enemy :)
Thank you, played her for days and could not figure out what triggers it. Was driving me insane.
No problem! Keep up the great content
yeah took me a bit to figure out its not just them triggering damage they take from it but also if they just activate it by being close you cant pick it up.
@@Dazs because you're not very bright
@@liftingisfun2350 I cri, I am bright as a brown crayon.

Enemy catalyst walls dont blind or slow catalysts (not 100% proven)
Spikes can be picked up and re-placed as long as they have not been activated by a enemy
3:01 you place her tactical. 3:03 the tactical animates a spike floor. That has to be the visual timer.
Nvmd, thats just when an enemy gets near.

I love catalyst, this legend can really change close combat and finally counters scan legends
He seems like he’s gonna be annoying tbh but nothing adapting can’t fix lol
Your introduction guide to Catalyst so you don't go in back as a complete noob and take that first step to mastering her!
You couldn't pick it up and get the charge for technical because he shot at it and it took damage
As always Dazs back with a dazzling Guide 💚💚💚
Went into randoms and we played Catalyst, Caustic and Wattson. We won ; Cant even imagine the amount of **appreciation** we got from our enemies 😊😊😊😊
@Dazs what about maggie's damage "scan"? how does that work with the ult?
Also, your spikes detect an enemy nearby, and are very obvious visually and audibly.
I use them on my team's flanks, so we can hear/see if an enemy if trying to flank us.
The tactical only goes back into your inventory if it wasn't activated by an enemy being close to it
Another good tip is to place the core on the inside of a door before closing and reinforcing it. It will prevent them from destroying it while still doing damage while they try to kick the door down
i havent played for a while, but this video has prepared me to come back
The Seer heart beat has to be a bug right? Like I can see an ult maybe not countering another ult that directly but a passive beating an ult?! That's just not right
i wonder if its possible to put rampart wall over the Q to protect the black sphere? Also is it possible to hide wattson nodes underneath the Q layer?
Does catalyst tactical destroy caustics traps before they set up and as well as Watson fences?
Nope! I finally got to test in combat and it does not affect any stationary building.
@@Icortherainwing weird tho it does 15 tick damage? I gotta test it more but why does it do triple caustic damage
It’s seems Catalyst’s tactical will give you the charge back AS LONG AS it hasn’t been activated. This includes even if the spikes rose up, and didn’t damage anybody.
The tactical doesnt have a timer, its probably that it goes to the inventory unless a oponent has activated it
2:35 If no one is close to it you can pick it back up but if the spikes come out because someone is close to it then you can’t pick it back up
I wanted to know if crypto emp takes out her wall or tactical placements (including reinforced doors)
Is it really a passive if you have to activate it?
Exactly
Her other passive is they aren't affected by other spikes
Always been like that for quite a few passives, Lifeline, Path, Ash, Mirage probably forgot someone but does it really matter? I find it way more interesting than something like Caustic, Wraith etc
When the tactical goes up you can’t get it back but if it never goes up like (deploys the spikes) say you throw it out by accident then it’ll give you one back
It seems like on apex can't really pick up things that enemies have already interacted with and store them back in your (tactical ).
Watson fences are the exception I can think of.
But I'm also newb
Fun fact: if you place her wall over a Gibby bubble a hole stays there once bub times out.
I want to see what BH sees during alt, he said he can kinda see you through wall.
Can Fuzes knuckle clusters deal Damage to the tactical? Or destroy the wall
you didnt say her q goes through door so it stops door healing
So no one gonna talk about how this is literally a buff to seer. If a catalyst throws up her ult and seer throws his ult over it… you can literally seee where people are behind the wall and shoot them without them being able to see you.. did anyone get that???
True
Tried Ulting with bloodhound and running through her Ult, didn't get vision impaired or slowed, not sure if it's a bug or intended feature
Does Wattson ult stop the catalyst tactical ?
Can you throw grenades through the wall? Do their blocked doors behave the same when both you and them are Catalyst?
Good shit !!! Thank you !
You can only pick up the spikes if a enemy didn’t trigger them
Thanks for making videos daz you’re great at content/life.
Build tha wall build tha wall
Does seer ult also work when it doesn't reach the edges of the wall? Like maybe it doesn't work if you throw it by the middle of the wall. Also, does it work in battle royale? Some ults get a bit buggy in training mode, like Newcastle's hurting him if you activate friendly fire.

I think it doesn't go away until the enemy shoots it or if you place a 4th one (cause you can put 3 at a time)
I thought it was not a timer, I thought it was when a enemy gets near it and spikes pop up it turns to non pickup-able
You can only pick them up if they haven't been "Activated" before
Are you able to barricade windows with the same ability that can barricade doors?
No and my God that's an insanely good point, my guess is that the reason why they don't let her do that is because she's limited to blocking 3 entrances, most People would rather block a door than a window. I still think they should've given us the choice
Catalyst and her blood moon outfit damn she is nice
what is your current mouse dazs? sorry out of context
Commenting for UA-cam algorithms1
Can you put fence nodes on areas overlapped by the spikes?
You're thinking exactly what I'm thinking 😈
If i remember right , in the season video , Seer does his Ult but they can't see anything , so might be a bug ...
Of course it doesn’t counter seer…. I want to cry
Catalyst passive can use at big door?
They need to fix that, she needs to counter all scanning abilities. And her ult should do damage
Dude the graphics are sick, holly hell ui5 is a beast
I know this has already been said. But the tac wont go into your inventory if it's been activated
does seer q cancel rez behind her ult?
Speaking of bugs, as Seer, I can’t scan beacons. Haven’t tried other legends yet
Dazs, if the enemy triggers the spikes they don't go back into your inventory.
It's like rampart if it gets damaged or used it dosent get refunded
I thought the trailer showed her ult cancelling seers ult?
Im pretty sure vantage passive can see through catalyst ult
Does it block fuse and Maggie scan?
cant she ult sideways like a mei or sage wall?
No :(
Seers ult should not work through her ult. I can already see Seer and Catalyst duos combining ults to easily wipe an entire squad on the other side of the wall with them having zero counter measures.
If it takes damage it won’t stack when picking up like ramparts sheilds
I cant believe Cat's ult doesnt counter Seer's. Enough with the unlimited scan meta man. I really see this as a major fail.
Damn it released today but this already exists
can EMP counter her ult & Tactical?
Feels like a valorant character in a apex game
If it isnt activated from an Opponent near it you get it Back in the inventory, But If an enemy was near , and activated it, you wont get it
Gonna be my second main
If The tactical is damaged it also will not go back as a charge
...it looks like the tac goes back in your inventory unless its already been activated.
Pretty sure tactical picking it up is based on if an enemy activated it or not
If the ball goes away above her tactical it can’t be picked up
Insane legend. Powercreep for Seer as wel.
Wow what a miss, instead of countering seer it made him even more important :D
Kinda bummed you can't rotate her veil before deployment =/
Crazy to see soar still here I remember them like 10 yrs ago
I swear this legend is about to be bottom 5
i cant imagine the last zone with 3 or 4 teams using here ult 🤣sheeeeeeesh
I've been playing her a lot like viper from valorant since she came out and it works extremely well the biggest tip I can give is
rampart is a catalyst's best friend the catalyst wall can help rampart set up a strong defense while under no pressure and once the wall goes down they'd realise that not only was the wall protecting the rampart/catalyst from them but it was also protecting them from the catalyst/rampart except they wouldn't get a chance to think about that since they'd die from a million bullet holes in half a second if they play it badly and that's not even factoring in catalyst's other abilities just know that the more abilities you stack the less the enemies fight back
What is that black liquid? Is that what they call trans oil?
Its cuz the bloodhound activated it that it lost the charge on return
How does this guy get 290 fps?
I have very capable hardware, and im stuck at 100-110.

I thought about catalyst caustic and ash
Love video
Can ash phase thru it
Yeee. Anything can go through it with no penalty except players who get aim slowed and blinded.
I've played her for 1 day and I can tell you, you have the most basic tip ever. I could teach you a thing or 2 on how to actually use her and be better
put a wattson fence through her ult
Love it
Imagine countering crypto but not Seer 🤦
Apparently she’s dead on arrival cause her ult literally doesn’t counter seer ult. A lot of players are already switching off her.
Kind of silly to "switch off" a character after a few days lol. I mean they can judge how much fun she is, but it's way too early to know how good she is.
She hasn’t even been out that long dude lol
Donald Trump would love this character, he gets his wall.
anyone else get the wrong variant ranked badges?
sooo she doesnt counter seer..
