Best party partners

Slot Solar Cattiva beside a Pal that covers the Ground weakness chart at /elements, so a single swap answers whatever resists you. Keep one flyer for traversal and one Handiwork Pal for field crafting alongside it.

How to fight a wild Solar Cattiva

Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Dragon Breath, Shadow Ball, Shadow Ball, Blizzard Spike on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 312 DEF before you commit ammo.

PvP notes

Solar Cattiva is a real PvP pick: its speed of 70 lets it trade first and disengage. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Ground Pals.

Boss and raid use

Against tower and raid bosses, Solar Cattiva performs best with a same-type damage move plus a shield-breaking partner. Check the raid rotation notes on /guides before committing a full team.
