Catalyst’s tactical ability is very over powered as it is an off hand ability, meaning you can throw a spike onto an enemy and then snipe them down. The ability can be used while healing too which saves you a lot of time. It can be used at the bottom of the door to push back the enemies blocking the door. One thing to keep in mind is that Catalyst is immune to other Catalyst traps. The tactical can also be used while pushing on enemies. Just throw the piercing spikes at the enemy location and hunt them down.
Players can use her ultimate paired with a shotgun to deal some heavy damage. Players can also ask their team mates to scan the enemies and then raise the wall. With this, the enemies squad will not be able to see the player but players will. The wall can be used to revive teammates in close areas or if getting pushed. The ult can be use to block area if the ring is coming in.
Apex Legends is still working on a bug which doesn’t block the scans with Catalyst’s Ultimate.
